September 1, Year 1

Mum and Dad gave me this journal for me to write in, so I suppose I'll use it. I'm on the train right now, the Hogwarts Express. It's quite lovely. I'm a bit nervous though. I hope everything will go well at Hogwarts. I've studied hard and I think I'll succeed, but a girl can't help the anticipation.

Will I have any friends? I hope so. I hate leaving everyone at home. Although, I never was a hundred percent comfortable at home. I always felt as if I was a bit different from everyone else. And I'm not talking about just because I always get perfect marks. I mean, just something else. When the letter from Hogwarts came in the mail, it made some sense to me now.

Well. I'm off on my adventure. I think I'm going to take a walk around the train. Maybe I'll meet some other girls my own age I can talk with.
