August 10th 1988: Yesterday was the most eventful day ever, and all events were bad. The Longbottoms were cought by a group of young death eaters and tortured with the Crus.... curse. I visited them at St. Mungo's this morning. I don't think they will ever recover, poor Neville is living with his grandparents. The most upsetting is betrayal, Peter Pettigrew, the Potter's secret keeper, is a death eater. He told the Dark Lord where the Potters were, and James and Lily are dead.(this last bit is smeared from a tear) Harry must live with his aunt and uncle, who are the worst muggles I have ever seen. What's worse is Sirius Black went to attack Peter, after I told him not to. Peter had planed on this and faked his own death. All believe Sirius was the secret keeper, and he has been put in Azkaban for all three murders. I have fought with the Ministry of Magic, but Cornelius Fudge is the biggest git ever! They say I am lying to defend Black. Lucius Malfoy knows what happened and is paying Fudge to convince others. I fear even Remus believes it. Most wizards are celebrating the Dark Lord's defeat, but I know he will return. I had to send Harry to that place because it is the last blood connection he has. I am sure he is the one from the prophecy, so I placed a spell on him sealed by blood acceptance. When his Aunt took him in this morning she finalized the spell, and as long as he goes there once a year, he cannot be harmed. Ms. Fig. Mundungas Fletcher will be keeping an eye on him.
