NOTE: This is the second chapter of Moaning Myrtle's Diary. I want to thank Q for being my first reviewer! Thanks!

DISCLAMER: I do not own Harry Potter or Moaning Myrtle or Olive Hornby or Tom Riddle (the evil Lord Voldemort!). I in no way own JK Rowling; she owns herself and Harry Potter. I own Maud and David Walker though (use them and I will sue! Muahahahaha!)

September Second --- First day of classes!

Today was the first day of classes. I went down to the Great Hall with Maud (I actually consider her my best friend even if I only knew her for a day). I ate some breakfast in the Hufflepuff table. Hufflepuffs are the best! They are nice and pretty and smart, unlike stupid Slytherin and stupid Olive Hornby. The old ugly woman that came to my house to explain that I am a witch (her name is Prof. Eavesdropping (everybody in this school has horrible names!!!)) gave everybody timetables. I glued my Monday timetable in my diary. Take a look.

MONDAY

8:00 – Herbology (Hufflepuff) 9:00 - Potions (Hufflepuff and Slytherin) 10:00 – Potions 11:00 – Lunch!!! 1:00 – Charms (Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw) 2:00 – Transfiguration (Hufflepuff and Gryffindor) 3:00 – Defense against the Dark arts (Hufflepuff)

That's the classes that I had today. So Maud and me got up and went to Herbology, it's stays in greenhouse one. I have to say this is the best class of all! First of all we only take it with Hufflepuffs (I have already said that this is the best house in the world!!!). Second of all it's easy, all we had to do today was to take care of a plant that likes to dance when it's too sunny. Third of all, I love flower and plants. Fourth of all, the teacher, Mrs. Eavesdrop is really nice for an ugly old lady and she is my head of house. In Herbology I sat with Maud. We had loads of fun and I didn't cry once.

Next we went to Potions, that's in the dungeons. It's a horrible class! Professor Carroll teaches it. He's a mean, ugly, gray haired teacher, with big red ears and he is head of stupid Slytherin. He said that we'd better pay attention because Hufflepuffs were really stupid. I eyes got filled with tears! He asked me a lot of difficult questions and I couldn't answer any! The Slytherins started laughing and I stuck my head in my cauldron to hide my crying. Olive Hornby, who was sitting behind me, said, "You really are stupid aren't you?" Then I cried some more in my cauldron. After that Professor Carroll asked us to make a simple antidote potion. I actually did quite well, but the tears in my cauldron messed up the potion and it turned orange instead of blue.

At lunch, Tom Riddle, wanting to play a joke on poor me, opened my bag (purple my favorite color), got my diary, and saw what I had written about him! He discovered that I fancied him! He also discovered that I am a muggle born! Then he said for the whole Great Hall to hear "This filthy little mudblood fancies me! Yeah, that's right! Myrtle! Moaning Myrtle!" Now everybody calls me Moaning Myrtle. I spent the rest of lunch crying in a bathroom I found in the second floor (it's quite useful for crying), Maud was there too, trying to cheer me up. She said that I shouldn't have fancied a racist Slytherin anyways. I guess she's right. Stupid little Slytherin racist!

Then we had Charms with nice little professor Flitwick (who is the youngest teacher around. He's only 23!). He is head of Ravenclaw house. Charms is fun. We had fun making quills zoom around the desk. I actually did it after my fifth try (everybody did it on there second though)! The Ravenclaws are pretty annoying. They think they are smarter than the rest of us. But, all in all, it was a good lesson.

Then we had transfiguration with the Gryffindors. The teacher is Professor Dumbledore. He's my favorite teacher. He is very wise and nice. He spent the whole lesson explaining transfiguration and it's history. Dumbledore is head of Gryffindor house. The Gryffindors are OK (not half as good as the Hufflepuffs though).

Then we had Defense against the Dark Arts. The teacher is a tall thin woman with red hair and she dresses in black. She has a black hat with a Pompon on it. Her name is Prof. Fournier. I asked her why we did we need Defense against the Dark Arts and she said, "To protect yourself of course!" and then she shot a spell at me and made me fall over. She said, "See? When you're done with me you'll learn to block these unfriendly spells!" She sounded delighted.

Well now I'm here in the Hufflepuff Common Room. Maud and me met another first year boy there. He has brown hair. He's really nice, his name in David Walker. We got along with him and now he is my friend too. He is also a reject. I think I'm over Tom Riddle already. Tee-hee.

The day wasn't bad. I only cried three times. Which is really good. I usually cry six times!

Bye, bye sweet diary!

Love Myrtle
