Chapter Four: A Strange Incident
Meagan's Diary Entry No. 1 Sept. 1 1966
You won't believe what I have for a first entry, diary! A very exciting scene indeed.
I looked up just in time to see that Lily fall into the lake. Good for her, that insufferable show-off. To imply she is better than I! Well, she has a nice cousin, that's for sure. I don't know why Sirius is so mad.
She is so mainstream band geek it's almost painful. And to think she had the nerve to humiliate me like that! Wait, scratch that. I refuse to admit she bested me at anything.
Her head broke the surface, and she was gasping and trying to grab onto her boat again. Her hair was a lot darker when it was wet, I noticed. She gasped and sputtered, then went down again. Everyone waited with bated breaths, waiting until she came up again, as if this was some horror show. In a way, it was, because James, Remus, and Linda were trying to rescue Lily and in doing so, capsized the boat completely. Sirius tried to save them, but knocked over his own boat in the process, causing utter pandemonium. Hagrid steered his boat to the site and pulled the people back into their boats two at a time, heaving them to the surface by the scruffs of their necks. Even Linda, that fat pig of a girl. I wouldn't be surprised if she were Hagrid's daughter.
The only thing was, Lily was nowhere to be found. Hagrid shed his coat and ordered everyone to stay put before diving into the lake. There was a moment of silence before people began babbling about what could've happened. It was two whole minutes before Hagrid surfaced again. He swam to his boat and gently placed the unconscious Lily there. Then we all commenced sailing to Hogwarts, and everyone was trying to get a glimpse of Lily and trying to fathom what had happened.
Hagrid carried Lily up to the door and knocked. A tall, stern looking lady answered the door and demanded to know what happened to Lily. Hagrid told her what happened in the lake and she said Lily should be sent to the hospital wing right away.
"I think she can handle the Sorting Ceremony," said Hagrid.
"While she is unconscious?" asked the lady sardonically.
Just as she said that, Lily woke up, coughing up water all over Hagrid, and hoarsely rasping that she wanted to be at the Sorting Ceremony, not the hospital wing.
"I suppose you can," said the lady skeptically. "I'll ask Poppy later if you'll need to spend the night at the hospital wing or your dorm."
Then the lady introduced herself to us as Professor McGonagall. I am writing this while she went into the Great Hall to prepare it for us, or something. Didn't quite catch it. Now she is coming.I'd better write more later.
