Dear Diary,
Today will be my first day at Hogwarts, I am so nervous that I am shaking. I really want to fit in but my parents are muggles. I just know I won't be able to do magic there, and I will disgrace myself and my family. I will have no friends. On a more cheerful note, I won't have to listen to Petunia's morning piano serenades until Christmas!!! That is worth all of the embarrassment at this new school, I am convinced that I will be fine as long as I don't have to hear Mozart again at 6 in the morning. I hope mum doesn't find this or I could be grounded for a month, then again I won't be home, so that isn't possible. Well I am so nervous I am rambling on and on, what is wrong with me anyway? Well the car is packed and I am leaving in ten minutes. I really hope I didn't forget anything, that would be so mortifying if I showed up to my first class without a wand. Well I won't think about that. Wish me luck.
Sincerely, Lily Marie Evans
Dear Diary,
I am on the train and my new friend James is changing. I admit that I am attracted to him, but no one is ever going to discover that. It would spread like wildfire throughout the school. James is really nice, and I was crying a couple minutes ago because I am afraid of not being socially accepted at school, and he held me. Of course he was only comforting me, and I am being overly dramatic, but it is so nice to pretend. Oh what really melts me is his little lopsided grin, it is so "kissable". I know, I know, not many ten year olds use that word, but I hear Petty telling her friends how "kissable" her boyfriend Kevin's lips are all the time. Personally I don't agree, but he's not my boyfriend, so what does it matter? Oh I hear James coming so I have to put this away, it would be perfectly dreadful if he read this over my shoulder. I doubt he wants to know how I describe his mouth. Well I will write more later, probably tonight in bed.
Sincerely, Lily Marie Evans
Dear Diary,
I am in bed, and I am so happy. When I was accepted to Gryffindor house everyone hugged me. I am so thrilled that I was not shunned, no one except one boy who I saw at the Slytherin table would dislike me. I heard him spreading rumors about a really shy, pretty girl at our table, calling her a "mudblood." James heard that and he draped his arm over my shoulder protectively. I feel like we are going to be best friends, and in my wildest dreams, dating some day. The most exquisite moment was when James joined our table and I felt my knees go weak as he grinned at me with that oh so "kissable" mouth. Then before I knew it I felt his lips brush against my cheek. He only meant the kiss as a friend, but I will treasure it forever, as my first, greatest memory at Hogwarts.
In the Gryffindor common room there was a party, some older boys set off Filibuster's fireworks, and the room was illuminated in red and gold light. The head of our house, Professer McGonagall was not too pleased about the fireworks, and scolded the boys, I couldn't help but join in the laughter. James told me he loves my laugh, and if he ever is having a bad day, all I need to do is laugh, and his life will no longer be dreary. James is always complimenting me, and I don't know why. No one has ever told me how wonderful I am before. I think I have a hopeless crush on my best friend.
I also met a really sweet girl named Anise, she is helplessly bubbly, but I can't not love her for it. Anise's brother is one of James' old friends named Remus Lupin, he is very quiet, but he and James are very close. It is an interesting combination, but opposites attract. Anise wanted to read my diary, but I cannot reveal to anyone my innermost secrets, especially how I feel about James. As mush as I love Anise, she could easily let it slip, and I would feel awkward around James from that day on. Well I am exhausted. I will write more sometime this week, maybe.
Sincerely, Lily Marie Evans
