STILL later,

In the girls dorm

That was so cool! The sorting that is. Cause guess who (or, um, what) did the sorting? A hat! No one else seemed to think this was cool, but I did.  Mel didn't like all those people staring at her, I could tell, but I loved it, the center of attention is just where I belong! Anyways, Melissa went first. On the train before, before the Marauders came onto the scene, we went through this little mini battle, pushing and flicking each other to see who would get to be sorted first. I won, but Mel blackmailed me with pictures of my favorite stuffed bear. That's mature.

Mel was sorted into Gryffindor, so I was hoping to get in that too, to, uh, be with my sister. Yeah. And you know maybe there's the small fact that the Marauders are in that house…but that's just a small reason. So anyways, I went up to the hat when she was done and sat on the stool, pulling the hat down on my head. It covered my eyes.

The hat seemed rather annoyed by me and for some reason thought I would be a trouble maker! Me? Noooo….and guess what I heard it (her, him, that?) mutter? "Oh great, another mischief maker, if there is one more Marauder around, I will quit…become a nice magician's hat…" It thinks I'm Marauder material! So anyway, it said I was, and I quote, "Daring, rather brave, but a tendency to violence…not much regard for rules either…" So true. I don't mean to sound conceited, but it's true. I love dares! Brave…I dunno…but hey, I'll go with that! And the last two…maybe that's why I got suspended from Willowwood so many times. I got kicked out of the local Wal-Mart soooo many times…anyways, it put me in…you guessed it, Gryffindor! I'm so happy.

Right, so I went and sat down at the table next to Mel, and across the table from Sirius and the rest of the Marauders. I was trying to think of a way to get back at them for the bean incident…

Anyways, I sat down near Sirius and went, all cheery, "Hey Doom Dude!" with the capitalization apparent. He looked up and grinned, "Hey Michelle! Congratulations on getting into the best house here. I was scared for a minute that the school would be getting two new additions to Slytherin."

I had heard Slytherin was a sucky house. Glad I'm not in it.

FINALLY July 19,

History of Magic

Wow, it's only the first day and I'm already not paying attention in class…great. I'm soooo not used to living in a school! At Willowwood we went to school from seven thirty in the morning to three forty-five in the afternoon, and then we went home.

And I wore my first…school uniform…ugh…it's a plain black robe with a plain black hat, and oh, sometimes if we're really lucky, we get to wear a nice pair of plain black gloves! Geez! I talked to Remus, and he said we only have to wear our uniforms till the end of the school day, and then we can wear whatever we want. Thank goodness!

So anyways, not much to say about the classes here, they're pretty much the same as Willowwood's, except HoM is taught by a ghost here. When I walked in, I saw him and went "Hey! You're a ghost!" and he looked at me all sarcastically and said, "Really, I had never noticed." That was rude. And I know he wasn't being serious…I hope…I'm pretty sure he (or at least someone else) would notice if he died wouldn't right? I hope so…what if I die and no one notices, even me? That would be sad…not that I would know, since I'd be, you know, dead, but still…it's the principal of the thing…

Right, well we only have two more classes to go, and then we are free!

Later that day,

In the common room

Yay! No more uniforms! As soon as class was over, I rushed up to my room and changed into some jeans and my favorite red tank top. Ah, that's sooo much better…

Still Later,

Still in the common room

Yum chocolate! I don't know how the Marauders got chocolate, but hey, as long as they didn't poison it, I'm happy! I hope they didn't poison it at least. I asked Sirius if they poisoned the chocolate, but he just shook his head all innocently. Sure…I'm probably gonna turn into a peacock or something in a few seconds. And so will all the other people who came down to get some sweets. Thankfully, none of the prefects but some kid named Randy came down, and he didn't seem to care that half of the Gryffindor house was having a little party at eleven o'clock at night. I really want to know where they could possibly get un-poisoned chocolate at eleven o'clock at night…then again, back home, you could get a pizza at three in the morning, so I should be used to it…

About half an hour later,

In bed

Ha! It was poisoned! Well, maybe the chocolate wasn't, but the Pumpkin Pasties were! I wasn't really craving those, so I gave them to some first year, and his hair turned blue! Then his face turned yellow, his eyes turned purple, and he started to grow…well, feathers. Finally, his head turned into a huge parrot head! That was supposed to have happened to me! I forgot which one of the Marauders gave that to me; I think it was James…grrr...

Later that day, around Midnight

In bed

You know, I should really stop writing in the stupid journal so much. People might think I actually like writing in it. I don't. Really. It's more like a torture device…I just write in it to tell someone, or at least something--whatever will listen to my pathetic whining--what's going on it my pathetic life…not that even you care…but really, I don't like to write in this…I mean it…really...

Yes, I know, that was SHORT, but I had exams! Sorry, I'll be updating a lot quicker and more often, with longer chapters, as soon as we're on summer break! And that's in…4 ½ days! If I choose to go to the half day on Saturday…yeah, sure. Lol.

I HAVE TWO REVIEWS! Yay! Actually, I was on another FF site, and I got like, 13 reviews in 2 days, but I was better known there…anyways, here is my (short) review thanx!

Herculeha- Thank you for being my first reviewer! I feel so special! Yeah, PD is where I get some of my ideas, but I'm trying to add some of my own flair to it, I was hoping the PD touches wouldn't show through to much…I'm so glad you updated your stories, and you even advertised my story! So special, so special…

Drop Depp Gorgeous: Yes! A second reviewer! YAY! I'm so glad you liked it, my self-confidence has sorta taken a pretty steep blow from lack of reviews…anyways, thanks for reviewing!

Please review!
