Dear Journal,

I saw George at Diagon Alley. He told me that he loved the picture I drew of him, that I'm a great artist. He was there with his whole family and Harry Potter. He had gone on flying car to rescue him from his aunt and uncle and his mom got so mad at him. Then George had to go away because they found Harry, who had ended up in Knockturn Alley.

I've been in Knockturn Alley before with my dad. It's weird there.

Dear Journal,

It's great to be back in Hogwarts. The classes are horrible but I'm happy to see George so much again.

How can people not tell George and Fred apart? They're so different!

Dear Journal,

George's little sister Ginny is so little! I was talking to her, and she seemed so spaced out, and in a hurry. I had to look down to see her!

George has such a cool family. I wish I had a brother again. Too bad he's dead.

Dear Journal,

George is so stupid. So stupid, that I fell on the floor laughing at him.

-Tammy

The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Again.

I'm scared. George says I shouldn't be, because I'm not even a muggle born. I'm pureblood…. But Tyler knew him.

I dreamt about the night that Tyler died. It was scary. I woke up practically screaming.

Back then he used to look so much like me, before my hair grew longer and his hair stayed short, before I wore skirts while he wore pants, before I started wearing makeup, before he started playing Quidditch while I was just twinkling my eyes and watching.

Tyler used to tell me that if I put on a baseball cap, guy's clothes, and no makeup, then I would be able to help him cheat on tests. I would laugh and punch him.

I miss having a twin brother.

I've noticed that making myself forget about Tyler was really stupid, and that I should remember him. Because he was my brother. And not many people remember him.

He never got to go to Hogwarts.

Dear Journal,

Once again I hugged George good bye and got on the train. I'm living in London again this summer, because Kirk won't be there, and I want to spend some time in the room that was Tyler's. I'm 15 years old now and Tyler died when he was 9, almost 10. I wonder how he'd look if he lived to be 15. He would probably have a really pretty girlfriend.

If Tyler never died, I would actually have friends. It's very odd if two people, two siblings, a pair of twins even, both decided to live their life unnoticed. I would actually have double the friends, maybe.

George has a twin brother. I had a twin brother.

Dear Journal,

Would you believe me if I said that Kirk moved back to London?

June 30th

Dear Journal,

Kirk says he's sorry. He says he's really sorry. He says he still loves me. He says he wants me back.

Then we kissed.

Dear Journal,

If there are triplets, and one dies, do you call the remaining two twins or still triplets?

Dear Journal,

I'm still alive.

July 28th

Dear Journal,

Kirk asked me if I wanted to come to his school's one-month visit to Camp Talcott. I said yes because I didn't want to be bored with him gone.

I'm packing right now.

August 24th

Dear Journal,

I had a lot of fun. During the days we went on hikes, and we went canoeing. We also made all sorts of things, and went swimming. They had horses, rock climbing walls and even fencing. They had cabins of all sizes. Some fit 12 people, some fit 7 people, some fit 4 people, some fit 3 people, and teachers got ones that fit 1 person. Kirk and I were in a cabin with 3 people in it. There was me, Kirk and his friend Ryan. In the afternoon, we went to camp fires or a night hike or some sort of animal show.

Yes.
