A.N. Okay, I know the only review I got about journals was against them but I wanted time to pass quickly and I've really developed the guys characters' poorly, sooooo here's the world according to Adam.
Top Ten Best Things About Hogwarts
1. Care of Magical Creatures creatures won't burn your scalp off (skrewts can't reach you're scalp, Hahaha, no, they really are safer than dragons.)
2. Much better Quidditch program, although it's cancelled this year
3. Less conservative than Comanici , You wouldn't believe how many pranks Fred and George and I've pulled and we haven't even had 5 detentions yet!
4. Better food
5. Tree that moves even when there's no breeze that they call the Whomping Willow. You can roll eggs at it's base and it'll whip them up onto the roof.
6. House elves! We had Cornish dwarves at Comanici. They made excellent pastries but would give you a good tongue lashing if you tried to sneak anything out of the kitchen. These little guys give you so much food that you'd burst if you ate it all.
7. No rats. There's a certain commaraderie between the students. Not even Neville Longbottom who is often the brunt of our jokes would tell. He just laughs along with us.
8. The professors. They don't play favorites (except for Snape but he doesn't count) a deffinate plus since I think Hagrid's is the only chair at the staff table in the Great Hall that I haven't put tacks on.
9. There are so many bathrooms that it's impossible to keep track of all of us. It is too easy to skip class
Ten Worst things about Hogwarts
1. These obnoxious Muggle assignments that they give us outside of class. Like this journal thing from McGonagall. She says she'll never read them so why the heck do we have to write them. Anyways, I'm going to play pro Quidditch or do something with dragons so this expanding your writing skills crap is of little use to me.
2. That Professor Moody is so creepy. He knows everything. His eye rolls all the way inside of his head, I bet he's even seen the inside of his brain. Ewwwwwwwwww.
3. The ghosts! Don't get me wrong we had ghosts at Comanici but there we not transparent, pubescent girls that come out of the faucet. Fred was filling up a water balloon and he got Moaning Myrtle stuck in it. Seamus came out shrieking because she fell into his tub.
4. This whole house thing. There is such a rivalry here. Hufflepuffs are nice, hardworking, and the dumbest. Ravenclaws are smart, clever and possibly a bit conniving. Slytherins are the most likely to become dark wizards, they are malicious ambitious and willing to step on anyone to make their way to the top. Gryffndors are brave, yes we may be doing something stupid but heck, at least we're not afraid to do it.
5. This creepy dog that keeps pacing around the grounds. It just won't go away! It circles the castle every night then settles down to sleep right in front of my frickin' window!
6. Professor Trelawney. I think the woman is addicted to predicting Harry's death. She literally cannot get through a lesson without her fix of morbidity. And those ditzes Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown just encourage her. They hang on her every word. Trelawney'll say," You have dark hair your father died so young you must have been born in December and you are extremely suceptable to violent and painful deaths in the month of October" the girls start wimpering and looking mournfully at Harry for the rest of the month. First of all, Harry was born in July and secondly I've got dark hair, my Dad died three weeks before Harry's did and I'm actually born in December and I,ve lived through many an October without so much as a hangnail.
7. That Filch fellow. He's Evil! I'd swear he had eyes in the back of his head except he wouldn't need then because of that wicked cat of his.
8. The way they make serve detention. At Comanici all you did was sit in a teacher's classroom while you pretended to listen to them list off the horrible things you did and how you must reform yourself. Here you have to work. I had one with Filch the other day and I had to polish every single trophy in the stupid case. Extremely boring.
9. NO QUIDDITCH FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!!! However will I survive?
And number ten on both lists is..... (Drum role please)
10. Gabrielle the second champion from Beauxbatons. The girl is so confusing. She's smart, funny, nice one minute and the next she's put herself in a tournament that will get her killed. She's so......... I don't know, I guess I just don't know what to do about her. When I was ten and still under the impression that girls had cooties Ol told me about this wonderful feeling that you get when you truly care about someone. I thought he was just trying to give me nightmares. Not that he needed to try, I had just walked in on him and Michelle Stevens playing tonsil hockey. I suppose that I'm more afraid for her then mad at her but if I just start talking to her now I don't know if she'll forgive me for being such a jerk. I don't know what I'd do if that happened. I know it's dumb but right now I'd rather live in denial than know I lost her.
Alrighty, now that I've gotten all of that insipid fluff out of my system I'll write the serious stuff that McGonagall said the journals were for. My name is Adam Christopher Wood and I was born December 21, 1986 in case you (Good God, I'm talking to a piece of paper)can't do simple mathematics that means I'm fourteen years of age. My father died when I was nearly a year old, he was an Auror and Voldemort killed him, October 1st 1987. My mother sunk into a bit of manic depression after that. Ol says she's never been the same since. He was only five so he can only remember so much. My father set up a vault for each of us at Gringotts incase both he and my mother died, leaving us alone to fight the system(the Ministry of Magic was quite corrupt at that time and he was afraid that they would find a way to get a hold on his personal assets by putting them in my and Oliver's names they were safer). He gave each of us 7,000 galleons, a broom (it's funny what he found important, They're Shooting Stars but hey, retro is in, right?) and a short letter. It didn't tell much about him except that he loved us and other paternal mush. I reckon he was pretty brave and wise though because in the closing line of his letter he said," Never be afraid to say Voldemort's name because an evil is only as powerfull as you allow it to be." Mum says he had discovered too many of Voldemort's minions and one day when she took Ol and me out shoe shopping he killed him. Our house was entirely destroyed, as was everything in it. Isn't it funny how wether or not you go shoe shopping can change your life? Mum's getting better now. She actually allows me in the same country as her. I've always favored my father and I guess it just hurt her too much to look at me everyday. So she sent me off to Romania. I loved it but I feel like I really missed out on family. Harry and Bri are the first other people my age I've met that grew up without families. Ol is still Mum's 'golden child' though especially now that he's playing Quidditch for England.
A.N. I know this is short but I just finished a play and I wanted to get something posted. It'll be expanded shortly. Read my other story please and tell me if that's the way you want me to take this on or not. Muchos Gracias!
