Gryffindor Tower

Dear James,

You are receiving the first page of my new Journal. I know you're a journal, but to make it less sissy-sounding, I'm calling you James. You share your name with a boy whom I've met recently. He's a Gryffindor with me and I think he's cute. Kinda. Maybe. My thoughts are always so mixed up that I can never be sure of what I'm thinking. Yet I plan on spilling my innermost thoughts onto your pages, so I would naturally die if he found out that James Potter (the boy I think is cute) is the one I adore. He was the one who gave you to me, as a matter of fact. He's SO generous. We were the only ones left who didn't have any Plum Pudding on our plates at dinner the other night. It turns out it was both our favorite's and there was only enough left for one person. He let me have it! I couldn't thank him enough. I did notice him sneak some off of his friend's plate later, though. He had long black hair accompanied by a twinkle in his eyes, which can only mean one thing: mischief. I think Headmaster Dumbledore will have a hard time with them.

I have to put away, now. Erudite Sphinx is giving me funny looks.
