Hogwarts Diaries

Dedicated to my 'sis' Jessica: we all you love

July 15, 1996

I don't really know why I'm writing this....but Tonks told me how she used

to write when she got bored, and since Dumbledore STILL won't let me

goto the Weasley's house, I'm sitting in the dull muggle world with a

family that hates me....Guess I should introduce myself in case some nut

down the road decides they want to know the REAL Harry....what bull.

I'm Harry Potter, the Boy-who-Lived etc. etc. And let me tell you, this

saving-the-world thing blows....big time..Everyone takes months to realize

old Voldemort is alive, after ridiculing me ( and Dumbledore, but I'm not

really happy with him at the moment) all summer. Why couldn't Voldie

have waited and hexed Fudge real good before he left the Ministry?

(no, I'm not explaining anything, you want to know what I'm ranting

about, go read your textbooks)

Got a letter from Ron, apparently that git Percy apologized....and

Mr. Weasley tossed him from the house, furious. But Ron said they'll

let him back in ...eventually. Even though Percy was ok, I do believe

he deserved it. Got a letter from Remus too....he wants to see me

before school. No doubt he needs to fill the void in his heart where

Sirius was too..I don't think I'll ever forget the look on his face when he fell

into the Veil...or my own screams for him. Sirius.....ugh...gotta get away from

that topic or else I think I wont be able to write. oh, there's Hedwig, and she's

got a letter..

-Harry

July 25, 1996

It was from Dumbledore. I'm to pack my things and head to the Order's

new HQ with Tonks, Remus, and Ginny for some reason. Well, at least

I'll be away from Hell for the year.

Being here with Remus really helps. It will never take away all the pain of

losing Sirius, but it's something. Ginny was making sandwiches when we

got there, and let me tell you, she's gotten pretty. I dont mean, 'hey, ron's lil

sis is all grown up' pretty, I mean ' hello nurse' pretty. What? I bet people

would think me odd for saying that...so I watch Animaniacs...big deal.

Hey, Moody just showed up. He looks serious. Great, how much more of

a nightmare can my life turn into?

-Harry

August 3, 1996

Shit. Shit shit shit. This is WONDERFUL ( not the sarcasm). Six more

murders in the last three days by a group of remaining Death Eaters. And

Bellatrix led them...Bellatrix, that wicked kinslayer. I can't supprese a need

to kill every time I hear that name. But for the same reason I don't think I

have anything special about me to defear Voldemort, I know I'll never

cause Bellatrix the pain she deserves. She said it herself, that I must

enjoy the pain I'm causing or Crucio won't work..and I can't. Hell, I cant even

stay properly mad at Dumbledore much less enjoy hurting her. This really

sucks...

-Harry

August 4, 1996

NOTE: Ginny and the other thought it;d be interesting to share this diary...

so there will be a lot of entries from now on.

-Harry

Harry's been really moody lately, I know Sirius left a hole, it did in all of us,

though it hit him especially....I wish I could help, but we all promised not to

read each other's entries right now. my family and Hermione as well as those

of the DA (Dumbledore's Army) are here now, but Harry only talkes to Remus,

Luna, and Professor Dumbledore...funny, I thought Harry was peeved at our

headmaster?
