September 1st

Dear Journal,

I am now on the Hogwarts Express. It's so awesome! I found Ginny so I decided to sit in her cabin. I guess Ron doesn't want her sitting with him and his buddies. One of these days I might actually get lucky and get Harry Potter's autograph. Sigh. Oh, you know what? More excited There's a lady with a little trolley that comes by the cabins with little treats on the trolley. I think Ginny called it the "Snack Trolley?" I'll ask her.

"Hey, Ginny! That trolley that comes by here is called the 'Snack Trolley' right?"

"Yep," she answered, "that's right!"

Ok, so it's called 'The Snack Trolley'. It has like all of the sweets I've ever seen before plus, there're a few extras that I've never heard of. It's cooler than my new camera. Speaking of which, I think I might go around the train for a bit and take some pictures. No, wait, the trolley's here. I'm going to get some treats first. What should I get:

Chocolate frogs

Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans

Toffee

Lollypop….

And there's so much more

You know what? I'll stick to the Jelly Beans and the Chocolate frogs. Mmmmm, these chocolate frogs are delicious! I wonder which wizard cards I got this time. There's bond to be a Dumbledore in here. Looks like I've got Cornelius Fudge, Gilderoy Lockhart (YUCK!), Sirius Black, Minerva McGonagal, and (here's the last one) Albus Dumbledore.

Oy! I always get him! I don't know how many of him I've had to throw out! Hey! I missed a chocolate frog. Let's see what it is shall we. (This chocolate frog is really good!) It's… it's… it's HARRY POTTER! AHHH! I have to tell Ginny!

"Ginny, guess what? I got Harry Potter!" I exclaimed.

"Wow, I've never seen that wizard card before! They must have just printed them this summer because of what he did last year!" exclaimed Ginny in reply.

"What did he do last year?" I questioned her.

"Oh he saved the sorcerer's stone from Voldemort, remember?" Ginny replied.

"Yeah, I remember that time," I exclaimed, "It was all over the Daily Prophet."

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I still can't believe that I got Harry Potter! You know what? I think I should have Harry sign his card for me.

Well, I'll have to do that later, I'm going to take some pictures of the train and stuff right now. Bye-Bye.

Later (Same Day)

Dear Journal,

We're almost to Hogwarts now so I won't be able to write for very long. Anyway, I got some really nice pictures of students and things on the train, the train itself, and the scenery around the train. I honestly think I should be a professional photographer once I get out of school. I might just start a scrapbook to save all of my pictures. I wasn't able to go throughout the whole train during my picture-taking and I never saw Harry, Ron, or Hermione so I guess they must be in a different section of the train. Hopefully I'll see them later and maybe Harry will sign his card. Ok, I really have to go now and change into my robes. I'll try and write tomorrow after all of my classes are done, that is if I don't have allot of homework. Ok, Bye-bye.

Hallie

(A/N) The dialogue is this journal and possibly others is what Hallie is saying or who she is speaking to is saying. She did not write that in her journal. When stuff is being said in the paragraphs it is actually what Hallie is writing. I guess you could say that the journal of Hallie is a magical one that records what is happening around it. Thanks!
