Dear Diary

Guess what just happened? When I ran downstairs when my mother screamed, there was a man there. He was wearing strange clothes, this long black cloak, and black robes. I asked what was going on, but my father told me to come back up here while they were talking.

I wonder what they were talking about. Maybe it has something to do with that letter with the emerald green ink.

I'm going down to try and listen. Back in a second.

Dear Diary

OH MY GOD!!! You'll never guess in a million years what just happened! I was on my way downstairs to try and listen in on the conversation, and I bumped into my mother who was on her way up to tell me to come downstairs.

That man I mentioned earlier did come about that letter I got. He claimed himself to be a wizard! What's more, he said that I'm a witch!

Turns out that my Grandmother was one, and then she married a muddle or something (that's a weird name for someone who can't do magic). My mother (my grandmothers daughter was never told about this, as she was a squid or wib or something like that (another strange word used by magical people. This one means someone of magical parentage who is unable to do magic. They are supposed to be quite rare), but I am a witch. As my grandmother has been dead for quite some while, this wizard guy had some trouble proving this to my parents.

Oh yeah, and that 'wizard guy' is called Remus Lupin. He says that he is friends with the headmaster of Hogwarts. That is the school I am starting at in one month, to learn magic. Next week I am going to a place, Diagonal Alley I think the man said, to buy my magic supplies. This is going to be interesting.

I guess I could say that I aren't 100% happy about this. I mean, it sounds quite exciting and all, but still.

I'm don't really mind leaving my current school, but I guess I'm kind of nervous about this new school. I've only just learnt that there is a such thing as magic. I'll probably be behind at school! And grades have always meant quite a bit to me. I aren't the most confident person in the world. Or the prettiest. My hair is way to thick.

I havc A LOT to think about at the moment.

Goodnight!

I'll and post some more tomorrow. And a chapter of my other story will also be published tomorrow, with any luck.
