Dear Diary,

As I mentioned yesterday, today was the first day of school. This was my schedule for today:

Transfiguration: 9:00-10:30

Defense Against the Dark Arts: 10:35-11:35

Lunch: 11:40-12:30

Potions: 12:35-1:40

Herbology: 1:45-2:45

Divination: 2:50-3:50

Charms: 3:55-5:00

Much longer than a day of school in America, but its magic, right? Shouldn't that make it funner? I noticed that a few important things on the schedule were missing, though. Such as: math, science, social studies, and gym.

I instantly learned that the transfiguration teacher, Professor McGonagall, is not a person to be messed with. She had the wondrous gift of keeping the classroom quiet. Now, as you can imagine, that was extremely difficult for me. But I managed.

James was supposed to be changing my hair color to blue. He got it to green eventually, but mostly just managed to turn my notebook into a teacup. I got it on my third try. On the second, I got rid of his hair completely…

In D.A.D.A., we drew and labeled the parts of a hippogriff. The hippogriff didn't look like a hippo, but maybe that's just me.

I think I ate two of everything at lunch… Less people are staring now. But my new friends bombarded me with questions as to why I was new here, who my parents were, and why I was in my fourth year here when I'd never been to school before. I told them I was just special that way.

For potions, we had to make a deadly poison without any aid. So, I made a cake. If you have tasted my cooking, you'll understand. I took something light and powdery, some milky substance, and some big, orange eggs. I received high marks from Professor Slughorn, I'll tell you that much.

Herbology was too boring for me to explain, and I was paired with Remus for a confusing round of divination.

I was supposed to make a feather disappear in Charms, so, of course, it exploded. Whoops… Afterwards, I caught James making cow eyes at Lily. I hope he knows that she hated him.

I went for a little walk tonight. In the forest, of course. The moon was full. Deep in the woods, I heard a wolf howling. Then I was on high alert, watching for any movement on the ground. Wait a minute… Full moon, wolf howl, magic school? Ring any bells? Either Erasers or a werewolf. Probably the latter.

I headed back to the school, and lay in bed, awake. That howl sounded like it had come from the Whomping Willow. Maybe Sirius had said it was dangerous for a reason. But I'm Maximum Ride. I can handle anything. Right?

Again, shortness not my fault. There are a few more chapters of hers to go until I start writing. Please review and follow. Or just read it. The most amount of views I got was 54 in one day. Help me raise that number! As alway, read on and virtual cookies (:..)
