Dear Diary,
Today, we went to Diagon Alley... This is what happened:
"James, dear are you awake? we need to be going."
"yes, mum. i'm coming." I hastily got ready and ran down for breakfast. I sat down at the table. An owl came fluttering in and landed in front of me. I grabbed the owl by its neck and ripped off the paper.
"James! Put that poor little creature down at once!" yelled dad.
I reluctantly released my prisoner and it flew off, glaring at me. My mother threw me a couple of slices of bread and i stuffed my mouth with them.
Great Great Great Grandpa handed me a flowerpot. I grabbed a handful of floo powder and threw it in the fire.
I whispered, "Knockturn Alley." I got whipped away and landed in Bob's All-time Basilisks. I shuddered and ran out before I had a chance to see two, yellow blobs. I ran to Diagon Alley.
"James! How could you? After everything we've told you... Doesn't that help?!?"
"oh...uh er I er got out a grate too late. accident, you know... got a bit uhr.. messed up."
"We... I should be moving, you know. I have to meet a muggle girl at her house. I think I'll apparate. You guys should be moving too," said Great Great Great Granddad.
We headed over to Madam Malkin's and I made my first 'real' friend there. ( you see, since mum, dad, and I are wanted by Grindewald, I hadn't met any other non-muggle people other than my family) His name was Peter. Peter Pettigrew. He looked somewhat like a rat. He's a muggle-born. Never heard that a place such as Hogwarts existed before he got his letter. In the beginning his parents thought it was a fraud. Not until Albus Dumledore showed up did he believe that it really existed. After that, he was so excited. He looks a lot like a mouse. Bet he's really cool, though. His mum was really kind. I think he is, too. We said we'd see each other in the Hogwarts Express.
Then, we headed to the Apothecary to get my potion stuff. We went to Flourish and Blotts to get my books. I met a girl there. She's really snotty. She's all stuck-up and stuff. She was a real know-it-all. She was reading Hogwarts-A History. I forget her name. I think it was Lela Evanie or something. She had red hair and bright green eyes. I heard her mutter something about competuhrs(or some muggle device). I guess she's muggle born too. At the wand shop, Ollivander said that it was really wierd that i get a wand that was is very similar to Grindewalds. He said that my wand is good for Transfiguration (whatever that is...i think it's what great great great grandpa is teaching).
I didn't get a pet; we are short of money. It was basically a good trip.
I really need to make more friends. I'm sure Peter will be a really good friend but just the two of us doesn't sound right. And, I already have one enemy, Lela. I guess i'll be making more Slytherin eneymies. But something's really wrong. I get the reeling that Lela won't be in Slytherin. Well... I'll just have to think over it.
By the way, Great Great Great Grandpa Dumbledore will become the headmaster of Hogwarts, two years later. Right now, it's Armando Dippet.
I'll write more later,
James Potter,
The one being sought by Grindewald.

Today, the most unusual thing happened. Here i was, by myself, eating breakfast when an owl came swooping in! An Owl! can you believe that!?! Anyway, on top of that, the owl was carrying a letter! A letter, for ME! The letter read:
Dear Ms. Evans,
You have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry. The school year starts on the 1st of September. Please get your school supplies which will be available at Diagon Alley. Your guide will be our Transfiguration teacher, Proffessor Albus Dumbledore. Please meet him on the 28th of July at your doorstep at 10 in the morning. We hope to see you at Hogwarts,
Proffessor Armando Dippet,
Headmaster,
Order of Merlin (3rd class).
And sure enough, Professor Dumbledore came and I went to Diagon Alley. It was really neat. I met this really annoying boy called James Potter. I hate him. I bought a lot of extra books so I wont be behind anybody.
I'll record more in here when I get more to right,
Lily Evans.
