Diary of a Toad Familiar

A/N: this was probably brought on by lack of sleep and too much Ben and Jerry's ice cream, but I decided to
put it up. This is my first Harry Potter fic, and my first fic on fan fic.net so be gentle...please R/R! :)


Dear Diary, September, 1
Hello, I am Trevor the Toad, I found you at this busy place a few moments ago when I escaped from the
wizard that I came with. Just between us he whines a bit too much for my taste.

How is it a toad can write you ask? Oh well...um, I'm magic, yes that's it! In any event it matters little, all
that does matter is that I *can* write in you.

Oh no! My wizard has realized that I'm missing; I better hide! I do *not* want to go to that place he's
setting off for. Ah, this big red hissing contraption seem to be the perfect place. My wizard would be far to
scared to ever get on it; there is no one near the rear of it. I'll get on there. I will write more later!



Dear Thomas, September, 2
Unfortunately I was unable to get back to you yesterday old chap. Let me tell you of my miserable journey
into the 7th circle of hell. As I said in my first entry, I had no intention of going wherever my wizard was
headed, and to escape I boarded the red thing in one of the empty sections. Not only did the section I
hopped into contain people, forcing me to hide behind a trunk for the entire journey, but it seemed that my
wizard was actually brave enough to come aboard and look for me. Thankfully the two wizards in my
compartment were too busy fussing about some scar on one of their heads to even notice my arrival. After
not seeing me in my hiding spot my wizard left, however he was back a while later looking again, still he did
not see me...heheheh. Unfortunately I was cramped, being squashed by the trunk, and eyed by a hungry
looking owl for the rest of the trip. Needless to say I was not pleased when I got off.

Anyway as I was leaving the train I was about to go hop myself into the forest and have a grand time.
However a child saw me, scooped me up and muttering something about worthless toads dumped me right
into the boat with my wizard. If I had any teeth I would have bitten the meddling child! Alas all I could do
was croak...called me worthless...humph!

I thought that I would finally be able to escape when my wizard, who had yet to notice me in the boat, had
left, a huge giant blathered to my wizard about me. Of course my wizard came running back over to collect
me. He unceremoniously dumped me in his pocket and forgot about me.

So now I sit here in so dormitory in the wee morning hours writing to you Thomas -- I think that's a
smashing name for a diary don't you? Well I best get some sleep, I need my strength for my next escape
attempt.
