September 1, Year 1
Hogwarts is absolutely amazing! I'm in my dormitory right now. Let me re- tell what has happened today, starting off from arriving at the train station.
A giant man, named Hagrid, met all of the first year students, and told us to go with him. We took a boat ride over to the school. Not a big boat, but little row boats. I was a bit apprehensive, but I figured it would all be fine. Especially with Harry Potter in my boat. He looks cute in the moonlight. Ron and Neville were also in the boat. I wanted to try to squish up near where Harry was sitting, but unfortunately, Ron was sitting there.
The first glimpse of Hogwarts was amazing. I just sat and looked on in awe, as did everyone else.
When we got inside, we were met by Professor McGonagall. She was the woman who sent us out the Hogwarts letter. I was very interested to hear what she was going to say. She told us all about the Sorting Ceremony and the different houses. Oh, I longed to be in Gryffindor. I would have been happy in Ravenclaw, but Gryffindor just seemed brilliant to me.
The grand hall was just brilliant also. The ceiling was even more wondrous than I had imagined it. It looked so much like the night sky. The floating candles were amazing. My first look of real magic, not counting the simple spells I have been practicing at home.
I watched some other members of my class get sorted. Finally, it was my turn. The hat put me in Gryffindor. I was unbelievably happy. Everyone cheered for me. I felt special. I took a seat at the Gryffindor table next to some red haired boy and watched the rest of the ceremony.
Harry Potter got sorted into Gryffindor! I am so happy about that! Maybe. you know. Maybe we can be a couple. I know I'm rushing things a little bit. I barely even know him. And I'm only 11. But I think I'm in love. I can't let anyone ever know about this though. Good thing I can write in here.
That boy Ron is also in Gryffindor. He and Harry appear to be friends now, so I guess he will always be hanging around too. But I suppose I can deal with that.
But continuing now. Harry sat next to me when we ate the feast. Oh, I was so happy, but of course I couldn't express it. The feast was brilliant. We'd finish and the plates would keep refilling until we were done. It was some of the best food I've ever tasted too.
Afterwards, a boy with red hair, Percy, whom I've found out is Ron's brother, who is a prefect led us up to the Gryffindor tower where our belongings would be. I truly aspire to be a prefect one day. That would be a dream come true. The hallways were rather weird though. The staircases, they move. I've never seen anything quite like it.
Oh well, I better be off now. I'm going to read a little bit of 'Hogwarts: A History," and be off to bed. Good night!
