Disclaimer: I do not own James Potter, Sirius Black or Severus Snape. They belong to J.K Rowling. Everyone else is the product of my over-active imagination.

Monday 9th August

First day with new class. Keep an eye on Sirius Black, as is sweetest and most innocent looking child. More often than not children who look sweet and innocent are not by any means so. Also watch out for Michaela Jostler. Appears to have hyperactive tendencies. Hyperactive 5 year olds are hardly ever fun.

Tuesday 10th August

James Potter turned up today. Never turned up yesterday as had only just come back from holidays. Also sweet and innocent looking. Worryingly James has developed a friendship with Sirius Black. This year may be more interesting than I would like.

Also remember not to let Michaela Jostler play in the "kitchen" at the same time as Severus Snape. She has acquired an unhealthy dislike for the poor boy. This was proved when Severus came to me complaining of a sore hand. Only later did I learn from another girl (Sarah Church) that this was because Michaela had been repeatedly slamming it in the oven door.

Wednesday 11th August

Had to keep James Potter and Sirius Black in at playtime and at lunch. They took it into there heads that the class hamster was unfairly locked up and needed more freedom. I spent 2 hours trying to catch the thing while Miss Canning watched the class. Fortunately Sirius and James caused no problems for Miss Canning or I would have had to contact their parents.

Note: Remember paint and apron for tomorrow.

Thursday 12th August

Painting did not go as well as I had hoped. Children were asked to paint something they liked. This may have been too general a brief. Michaela painted the entire piece of paper pink, as that was her favourite colour, not what I had hoped for. Sirius Black painted most of James Potters arm blue, when asked why he said "but you told me to paint something I liked Miss Anderson and I like James. He's my friend." Refrained from punishing him too harshly as although he is not stupid and he did on purpose he still had a point. Must remember to give more specific instructions.

On a good note Daniel Masters painted a very good picture of his dog Sherbet. Must remember to put it up on the "exceptional work" wall.

Friday 13th August

Remember to exclude Sirius Black from Singing Practise next Friday. He decided to make up his own lyrics The Bear Went Over the Mountain. I couldn't quite make them out but the way James Potter and Matthew Knight were laughing they were by no means polite. Also must remember to keep those three apart at Assembly on Monday.

Remember to put down the fact that Sarah Church grazed her knee at break in the Incident Book.

*** Well I hoped you liked it. If you did please review.
