Dear Diary,

Today we went to Diagon Alley to get supplies for school. We got
black robes, which I want to have colored to go with my wardrobe. Anyway
we got our books for our classes, too.
We got to get pets!! I got a ferret!! I named him Gene. He's tan with
white ears, tail, face, and paws. It was weird, though, because James insulted
Gene, so Gene bit him. Gene is so smart, I think he's a little protective, too.

We met two of James' friends. Their names were Sirius and Remus.
I think my sister was instantly . . . . attracted . . . . to Remus. I don't see what
the big deal is about him, but if she's happy, fine with me. Remus was shorter
than James and Sirius, but was still taller than us. Remus had short, light brown
hair and Sirius had long, black hair that went halfway down his back. He had to
have been 6 feet tall, and seemed the Biker type. Normally, I would go for that
sort of guy, but I just, well, didn't this time. He was nice, and cute though.

Anyways, I have to go to sleep now.

Goodnight
Lyra
