The Marauders Journals
Lily Potter's Entry:
Sept 2
Dumbledore might possibly have come up with his best idea yet these journals! Many students like me have trouble controlling their temper and need this kind of emotional back up. Well okay it's not all the time I have controlling my temper its only when I'm around James or Petunia that I have that kind of trouble.
The night before I left for school we had to see Petunia off to her Muggle boarding school. We were introduced to Petunia's boyfriend Vernon Dursley who was rude to me the entire time. Obviously Petunia's fellow students know I'm a Witch well that's their problem. Petunia's just jealous she doesn't have this magical ability either that or our parent's attention. There are times when I feel sorry for her and other times when I'd like to hex her like I do James now when he and his friends bother me. Like when she hugged our parent's goodbye she whispered as a sisterly goodbye, "die witch." I was itching to get out my wand but didn't say anything. Sometimes I hate my sister
Lily Potter
Remus Lupins Entry Sept. 5
Now Dumbledore is making us write in journal on top of homework. I think I'm the first Marauder to even look at mine. James finally bothered Lilly today I was wondering when that was going to happen. They broke into a huge yelling match outside the Great Hall during dinner. It ended up being that James was trying to steal Lilly's journal. It's so sad. They like each other but neither seem to realize it. Especially James who ranted about Lilly the WHOLE NIGHT. I mean he was still fuming about it okay loosing house points as well (let's just McGonagall was about to loose all the hairs on her head) at Midnight. This is getting out of hand. He did deserve it. He should know better than to mess with Lilly it never ends up doing him any good.
On the other hand we're going to figure out how to do the Animagus potion in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. The ideal place of course as nobody ever goes in there not even the Professors. I can't wait. It won't be done in time for this month's full moon but Sirius and James say they figured out what we've been doing wrong. About time too I'm sick of showing up to the hospital wing and telling Madam Pomfrey that we've been practicing hexes when I have a horns out of my ears.

Petunia's Entry:
Sept. 9th
I'm always happy when I'm at school because number 1 I'm learning important things and number 2 I don't have to be near Lilly and number 3 I'm not at HOME. I suppose it's wrong to hate your home but I do. Lilly obviously thinks I've told all my friends she's a witch by the way Vernon treats her. No my friends don't know which is why I have never invited anybody home during the summer. I've always gone places and my excuse for not inviting them over I tell them my sister is Mental and has been locked away during the school year and can't handle other people than her dear family at home. They believe me. Only Vernon knows what she really is. It's nice to finally be able to tell someone!
Dad and Mum should be pleased when my first report card comes around. I'm going to work hard so that when I get an A and it's sent to their door they have to praise me and not that witch they call my sister.

Severus Snape's Journal Entry Sept. 10
Peas. Carrots. Porridge. Peas. Carrots. Porridge. Peas. Carrots. Porridge. Peas. Carrots. Porridge.
There now Potions Master can't say I didn't write in mine when she checks. The teachers are only supposed check but not read our entries. How are they supposed to check without seeing what they wrote and seeing is reading in this case. Whatever. There's a paragraph. Have a happy day. I'm going to kill James Potter for hexing me when I...Well you'll see.
Severus
James Potter Sept. 10
Moony told me to go ahead and write in this thing so I guess I will. It'll help vent feelings so here I go. 1). It's Lilly's fault we lost the house Points I may have started the whole shebang but she definitely finished it. 2). Spent two days in the Hospital wing saw Snape as I left and hexed him this time with nobody around to hex him. Felt much better about it all even though I received detention later from the Potions master. 3). Getting ready for Quidditch this year and yours truly is team Captain. (About time too) 4). Making Animagus Potion illegally of course to plan midnight adventures 5). Might talk the guys into looking for the "legendary" Chamber of Secrets 6). I am going to ignore Evans from now on. 7). The Maurauders RULE the school and make sure everyone knows we are here the last year.

Lord Lucius Malfoy's Journal Sept 10
The Marauder's have asked for it this year. Snape, Bellatrix, Narcissa, Lestrange, Avery and I are going to give the Maurauder's something to remember us by the way of a prank. I am the Master mind behind the plan well Bellatrix helped create the idea I must admit it. She is talented that woman. I won't write it out what it is in here lest this journal should fall into the wrong hands because I don't want James and his little gang to find out what we're up to before we have a chance to do it.
On the other hand father is taking me to meet HIM. My idol and Lord Voldemort. I get to do this during the Easter Holiday's. I cannot wait to enter into my Lord's service, as he as told me the War is about to begin. And when it does the Muggles and Mudbloods won't have a PRAYER.

Peter Pettigrew's Journal Sept. 11
I walk every where with James, Sirius, and Lupin as I'm scared as hell that Snape or some stupid Slytherin will hex me. They look for opportunities to do so. Maybe if I offered assistance to them they'd leave me alone and guard me from anything that could happen. I highly doubt it so I'll stick with James. Even though I caught him writing Evans name all over his paper during Transfiguration and he said he'd hex me if I told anyone. Like who would I tell? Evans? Fat chance. If she knew James was writing her name all over his paperwork she wouldn't wait to hex James she'd hex me.
I can't believe how much more work we're getting this year than last year. I'm almost afraid of the possibility of me failing N.E.W.T.S. Many 7th year graduates said last year it is the hardest. Well duh. The teachers don't expect much of you do they? Speaking of that I'd better finish a Potions Essay. Maybe James will help me.
Pettigrew
Bellatrix Journal Sept. 15
Mudblood filth that's what I'm touching every time I write in this. Okay so I haven't touched mine yet but really this is just madness. Dumbledore must expect me to wash my hands pure every time I write in this as it was bought in a filthy Muggle shop. May all the Muggles be burned at the Stake and take all the mudbloods and muggle supporters with them. So dear teacher if you read this at least someone has my opinion trust me I'll let it be known. The war is about to begin and I can feel it in my Bones.
You know who I don't understand? Sirius. He used to be such a cool cousin till he came here and met that dratted Potter. He just needs a change of attitude. I mean Auntie was heartbroken when he ran off to the Potter's last year. I mean she's ill and he doesn't have the decency to show respect to his family. Perhaps there may be a way to get rid of him yet.
Bellatrix
Sirius Black's Entry Sept. 16th
I really should get some sleep but so many thoughts are turning around in my hand over the past two weeks that I just can't sleep and finally decided to do un required school work. This journal idea of Dumbledore's seems a little odd. I mean really who writes in a journal? I certainly haven't in the last year... Oh well what can you do.
Peter's already complaining about the work the teacher's are piling up. They are so easy though! James and I when we're not goofing off or hexing people are doing our homework and getting them done in less than half an hour. I guess not everybody can be as smart as us.
James made a fall resolution to stay away from Lilly. It's been working for the past three days but what he really needs is a fall resolution to shut up about her. It seems the more he stays away the more he talks about her consistently.
So what am I doing wrong? Well I guess going out with more than one girl a week counts as a sin but other than being perfectly charming absolutely nothing. Now I'm going to tune out my thoughts and get some sleep.
Sirius Black.
