Well, I'm sitting on the Hogwarts Express with Mandy now. We're on our way back to school and part of me is very happy about that. I'm finally going to be away from Jennifer. She's been so smug since the Gingerbread House Incident (that's what we've been calling it) because now she knows she's going to Hogwarts one day.
In fact, she made me walk her down to the local arts and crafts store where she used her Christmas money to buy a bunch of paint. She painted one wall of her room like the Hogwarts Crest. That drove Mom bonkers. When she walked in and saw it…hehe – Jennifer finally got the yelling at she deserved.
On New Year's Eve Mandy's family took the train to come see us. They ended up spending the night so Mandy and I got to stay up until midnight for the first time. We drank something called Butterbeer that her grandparents sent her and played wizards chess. That was the best night.
After that I went back up to London with her and her family. I stayed with them until this morning when we boarded the train.
Oh, Padma Patil and Su Li just showed up in our compartment. They've pulled out a deck of Exploding Snap and want to play Slaps with it. I taught them how to play it this past Fall, they had no idea since it's a Muggle card game. It's rather amusing when a card explodes just when you slap your hand onto it. Hehe

Author's Note: I'm on a roll writing tonight so here's another chapter. Yay! I have another reviewer! Who's made some important points that I hope I answered in my responses to her. Um, basically the chapters will gradually get more detailed as Lisa gets older. I do plan to cover all seven years/books and part of her growth will be shown by her writing.
Enjoy! Read! Review!
