Dear Diary,
Remus looked sick today. I asked him what was wrong and he said nothing. He did tell me that he was leaving that evening to visit his sick mother, so maybe that was it. Nothing else really happened today. I'll tell you about my life at home. Like I said yesterday, I'm a Muggleborn so for the first 11 years of my life I lived at home with my mom, Daisy, dad, Robert, and sister, Petunia, who's a year younger than me. When I got my Hogwart's letter my mom and dad were so shocked and proud of me. Petunia seemed equally as shocked, and was curious as to what the wizard world was like. She also said that she couldn't wait until next year so she could be in the school. I've written home a couple of time. I have a barn owl named Jade, I named him that because his eyes are jade green like mine. That's why I chose him! Tomorrow classes start for the week. I have Transfiguration first with the Slytherins. We already learned how to turn a match into a needle, how cool is that? I find Transfiguration to be very interesting. Professor McGonagall teaches it. She's the deputy Headmistress and head od the Gryffindor house. She's very strict, but she's a good teacher. After that we have Charms with the Hufflepuffs. Professor Flitwick teaches that. He's really smart and nice. Charms is my favorite subject and also my strongest. I guess it has something to do with my wand, it's 1o' ΒΌ", swishy, made of willow and especially good for Charms. It's pretty late so I better get to bed. I have to wake up early for classes tomorrow. Bye
Lily
