Disclaimer: Still haven't got it? It's all J.K.Rowlings. Not that I'd mind owning them, but I don't. So just read it, OK?
A/N: Beta-read by Luinthoron (*waves* "Hi, big brother!"). My request for a second beta still stands, though. Anyway. I hope you enjoy the reading. Even if there may be some grammar and/or typing errors we didn't notice. That's all because I don't have a beta with english as her/his first language...

Merry Christmas, dear Diary!
As you may (or may not, if you're really dumb, which I don't assume) have already guessed after the way I started this writing - it's christmas! The first christmas I ever had as a soon-to-be-witch. It's really great fun. After a few hours of convincing Mom and Dad we went christmas-shopping in the Diagon Alley. Mom let me pick my presents myself because she said she doesn't know these wizarding-things and neither does Dad. We got some sweets for my classmates and ordered a Special Christmas Delivery for them. That means, the presents are delivered not right away but early on the christmas morning. That means today, by the way. I picked two books for myself on our DA-shopping-tour. Both on light hexes. I haven't had a chance to tead them yet, as they were meant as my christmas presents, tough. But I'll start reading them first thing tomorrow morning. Pity we're not allowed to use magic at home, I'd like to try out some spells I read lately.
Harry and Ron still haven't owled me. Which must mean, that they haven't found anything on Flamel yet. Where could Harry have read this name before? He kept telling us he'd read it somewhere before. But, I mean, he never reads a book if he can do without. It must have been one of our textbooks, then. But I have been checking them about ten times and haven't found him. Maybe he mistook another name for it. That could be, don't you think?
I've been having a great time home. We had a big christmas party and all the family was there. Even Granny and Granddad were there. They all wanted to know how I was and if I liked my new school and what was it like. But I wasn't allowed to tell them anything about Hogwarts. Mom and Dad reckon it's for the best if it's Our Little Secret. So anybody else is thinking I'm in what's-it-called-again? Oh, I don't remember right now. It's a girls-only boarding school, anyway. It's in Scotland, too. I would have gone there if I hadn't had my Hogwarts-letter in summer, anyway. Mom and Dad just thought it best not to tell the others about changing plans... Anyway. I got lots of presents, as there were lots of guests who all brought us something. We should do this more often. Having christmas parties, I mean. Once a year is really not enough.
Can you believe it? Now I'm home, I'm in my own room and someone still has to come and tell me to go to sleep. Mom came to say good night. And to tell me that it's late and I should be sleeping by now.
Good night, dear Diary!

A/N: And now kindly review. Tell me what you liked and what you disliked. That way I know what to do to make this story better. OK? Thanks!
