August 1st

Dear Journal,

It's finally August! Yay! One more month till the beginning of term starts at Hogwarts! I'm so excited. I just can't wait till the school year starts. I bet it's going to be awesome.

And guess what, today we're going to buy my cauldron. I guess that means I'll be taking a potions class. That sucks! I heard that Professor Snape is really mean to students who aren't in his house. Oy! I'm sure I'm going to hate his class.

I haven't heard any bad things about the other teachers yet so, hopefully, their classes won't be too bad. They can be as hard as they want, but I just don't want to have teacher problems.

Woah! I have so much to write about that my hand is starting to hurt. Well, anyway, I have to go and put my muggle clothes on now because we're going to Diagon Alley in a muggle car. I hate those AND muggle clothes! We're leaving for Diagon Alley now so I'll have to stop writing. I'll write later. Bye.

P.S. I wrote about asking for a camera next summer, but I might ask for it today so that I can take pictures of Hogwarts, and of my friends there. I shall write later. Bye-Bye.

Hallie
