September 1

What a crazy day. This morning I woke up at about seven A. M. At about 10:40, we reached King's Cross to get on to platform nine and three-quarters. About ten minutes later (and many good-byes) Draco and I were trying to fond seats. I was trying to gat a seat away from Draco, but it didn't work. About halfway through the trip, there was a rumor that Harry Potter was down in the last car. Draco asked me if we'd go and see of it were true. I told him even if it was true, why would anybody want to be a friend to a person with a horrible attitude. He just glared at me, told some gorillish-looking people (Crabbe and Goyle) to go with him, and left the compartment. I just sighed, and followed them so they wouldn't do anything stupid. I went down to the last compartment and, sure enough, Harry Potter was there. When I saw him, I recognized him as the boy from Madam Malkins. There was another boy with him and I recognized him instantly as a Weasley. He has red hair, loads of freckles, and a hand-me-down robe. When Draco introduced himself to Potter, Weasley coughed. I think he was trying to hide a laugh. Draco caught it. Draco asked Weasley if he thought his (Draco's) name was funny. Weasley was silent and Draco was about to insult him, so I stepped in. I said that Draco's mane was pretty funny, yeah. He asked me what I was doing there and I told him the same thing he was doing: introducing myself to Harry Potter. I stepped past him and introduced myself: "Hi! My name's Angela Malfoy. Draco's my twin brother and, unfortunately, you had to meet him." I asked the Weasley's name next. His name is Ron. I turned back to Draco and told him that he could leave now. He said no. What a surprise. I said fine and took out my wand. "If you don't leave now, I'll curse you," I said to him. He told me I didn't even know any curses (which is true, but I wasn't going to admit it) and I told him to try me. He knows better than to mess with me, so they left. Thank God. I turned back to Potter and Weasley and asked of I could sit with them. They said sure. I told the boys, as Draco and his thugs left, that he thinks he's better than every one because he's a Malfoy. As I was sitting down, a girl came in. At first the boys ignored her when she came in. (They were talking about my family being Dark Wizards. I didn't care though). After their little conversation, Ron turned to the girl. She said something about people behaving childishly. Whatever. The girl needs to lighten up a bit. I asked her name and it's Hermione Granger. I thought to myself that she's gotta be one of those Muggle-born bookworms. She'll either be in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Harry and Ron changed into their robes after she left (I was already in mine). Minutes later, the train stopped. Harry, Ron and I stepped off the train. We heard a voice calling out to the first years. It was Hagrid. Hogwarts is the biggest castle I've ever seen. It's magnificent. We took a boat ride across the lake and up to the front doors. Hagrid knocked on the doors three times and a stern-looking witch came out. Her name is Professor McGonagall. I wonder what she teaches. She told us about the Houses, points, and the House Cup. She left and I was really starting to feel nervous. Before she came back, about twenty ghosts came through the wall. They were arguing about someone named Peeves. After the Hufflepuff ghost acknowledged us. Professor McGonagall had come back. She led us out of the out of the chamber and into the Great Hall. The ceiling is enchanted to look like the sky. Then, Professor McGonagall put an old hat on a small stool. There was silence for a few seconds, then the hat burst into song:

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,

But don't judge on what you see,

I'll eat myself if you can find,

A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowler's black,

Your top hats sleek and tall,

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat,

And I can cap them all.

There's nothing in your head,

The Sorting Hat can't see,

So try me on and I will tell you,

Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring nerve and chivalry,

Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,

And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

If you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin,

You'll meet your real friends,

Those cunning folk use any means,

To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!

You're in safe hands (though I have none),

For I'm a thinking cap!"

The whole hall applauded and when it died down, McGonagall started calling out names. All too soon, my name was called. I went foreword and I barely put the hat on my head, when it screamed "GRYFFINDOR!" I was shocked. I went over and sat over at the Gryffindor table and watched Draco get sorted. The same thing happened to him except he went to Slytherin. About five minutes later, Harry Potter was sorted into Gryffindor. The other Gryffindors are: Lavender Brown, Pavarti Patil, Hermione Granger, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, Neville Longbottom and Ron Weasley. The feast was excellent. I also net the rest of the Weasley's. Percy is a fifth year Prefect. He looks like he follows all school rules all of the time. Talk about boring. Rules are meant to be broken. Fred and George are twins. They're really funny. Tomorrow's the start of classes, so I should get to bed.

September 7

What a busy week. I've got seven classes: Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Transfiguration, Astronomy, History of Magic, Herbology, and Potions. The most boring class is History of Magic. Professor Binns is the only teacher that's a ghost. He drones on and on (in a boring, monotonous voice) about who-knows-what. I think I'll copy Hermione's notes one of these days. She seems to be able to take the lecture. I'm surprised I didn't fall asleep. Professor Sprout teaches Herbology. That class is taught behind the school in the greenhouses. It's all right. Professor McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor House and Transfiguration teacher, is very strict. For our first lesson, we had to transfigure a match into a needle. I was able to transfigure seven matches. Charms is a really fun class. Professor Flitwick, who is Head of Ravenclaw House, teaches it. We practiced wand movements. He made Neville's toad zoom across the room. That was cool. I was really looking foreword to Defense Against the Dark Arts, but when Professor Quirrell teaches it, it seems to be a bit of a joke. He seems to be afraid of his own subject. Oh, boy. In Astronomy, we've got to learn the names and positions of the stars and planets. It's a bit complicated. Potions. My worst nightmare. It's the only class we've got with the Slytherins. The problem: Snape is Head of Slytherin House and favors them. He thinks Draco is an absolute angel. Yeah, right. Snape started asking Harry all of these questions. He seemed to be a little confused. The questions were easy enough and Hermione practically jumped out of her seat (she actually did jump out of her seat on the last question). After the question assault, Snape divided us into pairs and told us to brew a simple potion to cure boils. Who does he pair me with? My brother. He snapped at me loads of times to help Draco. Draco was actually telling me to do everything when Snape wasn't looking. I didn't dare argue after what happened to Harry, though. The end of class couldn't come soon enough. I practically ran out of the classroom. Harry and Ron went down to Hagrid's at three. I went with Hermione to go do homework. In fact, I've got a "homework date" with Hermione right mow.

September 9

Not much going on. Just classes and homework, the usual. Harry and Ron don't seem to like Hermione because she's a "know-it-all." I told them that she's really nice, but they wouldn't listen. Boys can be so stupid sometimes. Hermione is trying to convince me to ignore them (it's not working). I know we're going to be inseparable one day. Anyway, I've got homework to do.
