Year one: 1967
29 August, 1967
My name is Andromeda Black, which means "The Woman Chained". I received an embarrassing Howler today once mother got word that I was sorted into Ravenclaw and now Slytherin as the rest of the family. She doesn't understand that my philosophies and hers are different. My father had nothing to say about it. He kept quiet. She married into the Black family, she was formerly known as Esmeralda Pucey. The Pucey's are a known pure-blood family and have always been sorted into Slytherin. My mother considers me a fluke now because of the sorting and has written to the head master to have me forcefully placed into Slytherin as per her request. I spoke to Professor Dumbledore today about what she's said and he said not to worry because in my heart, I would know where to belong. And I know I belong in Ravenclaw!
15 October, 1967
Today I met Molly Ackerley and Arthur Weasley. They seem quite fond of each other. They witnessed another embarrassing moment when my mother sent me another Howler about my excellent performance in Ravenclaw. She called it outrage that a member of the Black family is placed in Slytherin. And she even dared to say I was quite unhappy which is UNTRUTHFUL! I've befriended Molly even though I'm a first year and she's a seventh year. Her and Arthur have been arguing lately, and Molly has even told me she's threatened to break up with him if he doesn't change his stubborn attitude. I kept out of it quietly until one day I saw one of the boys picking on Molly. They were calling her names and saying she was fat, I saw Arthur coming out and ran to him and told him what was going on. He saved her from them, from that day on they stopped fighting and have been quite fond. I am doing poorly in Potions, mixing up my toad's feet from my frog's breath.
12 December 1967
It's time for Winter break, I did perfectly fine in all my courses, I think I might have gotten an lower mark in Potions, but I did excellent in the finals. I sent a letter to my father and asked if I could stay at Hogwarts during the winter because I wanted to work on studying for the next semester. He agreed, and I think he knew why I wanted to stay. My mother was quite upset that I wasn't coming home to spend time with the family for Winter break. My youngest sister Bella sent me a small painting of a yellow flower with a black sun, odd painting but it's quite beautiful so I put it up in my private chambers. My mother managed to get me a private chamber in Hogwarts, I don't even want to talk about it.
1 April, 1968
Final exams are coming soon. I went to the last Quidditch tournament, and what a surprise that Slytherin won. Of course my parents and my aunt and uncle came to watch for no reason, just to give Slytherin their support. I saw my young cousin's Sirius and Regulus. Sirius is 7 and Regulus is 6. They are very cute and resemble me also. We all have black hair, but I have green eyes. Same features and to my heart, Sirius isn't dark and evil like the rest of our family. I have high hopes for him. Regulus looks like a normal child, but he's always trying to please the parents. I always tell him he doesn't have to do that, but he always shrugs and speaks one or two words to me. He loves hugs, I don't know why, I guess he never gets affection from his parents.
25 June, 1968
NO! First year has ended and now I must go back home with my parents. Molly and Arthur have graduated and finished their N.E.W.T.S. They'll write to me and tell me what their test scores resulted. I cant wait. They've been the best friends I've ever had and the most loyal and trustworthy. I'll never forget those two.
