This story is not what your expecting. This is not another story about witches and wizards and dragons (although it does involve them). This is not a tale of a happy ending. This is not a book about your dreams comeing true. This story is about me, Ron Weasly, and my wonderfull (yeah right) years at hogwarts school of wtichcraft and wizardry. Through my journal, you shall learn about my world, and how i saw the events that transpired in my life.


July 16, 1991

Hello there,

New journal, new life.

Summer is coming to an end, and my first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will soon begin.

This school is where al lmy siblings are/have/will attend school... all six of them. I am blessed to be the second youngest, so i never get new items.

I'm the sixth in our family to go to Hogwarts. You could say I got a lot to live up to. Bill and Charlie have already left – Bill was head boy and Charlie was captain of Quidditch. Now Percy's a prefect. Fred and George mess around a lot, but they still get really good marks and everyone thinks they're really funny. Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it's no big deal, because they did it first.

So really whats the point in trying to live up to them, they all ready have acomplished everything.

I best be going... food awaits.

i took my wallet ot and opened it, completely empty.. how wonderfull.

"Mum, i need to get some stuff", i said out in front of Ollivanders Wand Shop.
"Well duh Ron, thats why we came here", Fred remarked.
"Percy, Fred, George, your on your own to go find your supplies, i will be takeing Ron", - my motherr said as she took out some money from her purse and handed it to Percy, "meet back hereollivanders in 1 hour".

The first place we enterd was Ollivanders Wand Shop. We ended up not getting a new wand, i decided to use Charlies oold 14 inch, willow wand containing one unicorn hair. it was nice, when it was new. i hate my family. Why do I have to get all the old equpitment? Why do we have to be so poor?
We skipped Madam Malikins Robes for all Occasions, because yet again i get Charlies old robes.
Florish and Blotts was next. Finally i might get something of my own. We already owned every book that was needed, luck was definately not on my side today.
And thats how today went. I just cant wait until Spetember 1st.
