Dear Diary,
I haven't gotten around to reading the book again. It just creeps me out. Since no one seems to notice that's gone missing, I've hidden it under a loose floorboard in my room. It just keeps freaking me out, knowing what I'm thinking and knowing more about me than I do. I just wish that I knew my parents or at least where they are so that I could discuss this with them.
Since nothing interesting has happened since I came here, I'll talk about a teacher that I noticed, the one I mentioned before that caught me in the dungeons on my first day here. He's the Potion's professor and the Head of the Slytherin House. His name is Severus Snape and he looks like an overgrown bat because every time he storms down a corridor, his black cloak makes him look like he has wings.
He has black eyes which have this way of making you think you've done something really wrong and he's on to you. He has greasy black hair (yes, the man has a loathing for shampoo) and his skin is this sickly pale white or yellow, depending on the light. He looks like he ate some rotten cheese and hasn't quite noticed why he feels so terrible yet. What makes it worse is he keeps looking at me like he thinks it's my entire fault. Well, he looks at EVERYONE like that but since I'm the only YOUNGER person, I guess he has no one else to glare at like that.
I've done some reading in the old school yearbooks (those are at the back of the library right next to the Restricted section and I've found his name and a picture of him when HE went to Hogwarts. Surprisingly, he didn't look half bad when he was younger. I wonder what the Hell happened to him. Anyway, there was a list of things next to his picture like his accomplishments, interest, dislikes, and his favorite quote.
Name: Severus Snape
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Favorite spell/potion: Vertroserum (truth potion)
Age: Eighteen
Favorite food: Kidney pie
Least favorite food: Peas
Favorite color: Green
House: Slytherin
Accomplishments: Prefect, Quiditch Seeker
Favorite quote: "We live by the rules and we die by the rules."
Well, he's a bright little ray of sunshine, isn't he? I've been asking some of the other teachers (who, by the way, are incredibly nice to me) about him and they said that he's been asking for the Defense Against the Dark Arts job for a long time (the name pretty much says it all about THAT class). I'm a little afraid to wonder what he'd do if he actually got the job since he's supposedly been after it for a while. According to some more research I've been doing (shut up, I have nothing but reading to do) that he was a Death Eater once.
A bloody Death Eater! Well, okay, it was never really PROVEN but really! What's wrong with the Headmaster for Christ's sake?! He's entrusting his own students into the hands of a Death Eater! Am I the only one who finds something really wrong about this? I thought I could be safe here, but there's a Death Eater as a bloody teacher! I'm screwed. Hopefully I won't have to be around him.
I'm going to bed. I'll do another teacher tomorrow if nothing interesting happens.
