The Diary of Harry Potter
Entry: 7
Diary,
I guess I should consider myself lucky. Uncle Vernon kept me in my cupboard a long time, but it wasn't until Christmas. By the time he let me out, summer vacation had started, but that's okay. Dudley's already ruined most of his birthday presents, the idiot.
I'm glad school's over, but I have to spend most of my time outside wandering around to avoid Dudley's gang. When I'm wandering, I've been spending most of my time thinking about the end of the holidays and actually looking forward to them. I finally have a chance to make some friends, I think.
In September, Diary, I'll be going off to secondary school. The reason it's so different from elementary, the reason I might make some friends, is because Dudley and his friends won't be going there! Instead, they're going to some private school. Uncle Vernon's old one, Smeltings. I instead get to go to the public secondary school, Stonewall High, and I'm happy about it. Dudley thinks it's hilarious, though, and keeps trying to scare me with horror stories about how horrible it is there. I'm not worried, though; he's a big liar.
Today, I was watched by Mrs. Figg, who doesn't seem too happy with her cats nowadays (it was one of them that caused her to trip and break her leg), while Aunt Petunia took her little piggy to go by his uniform for school.
Tonight, Dudley showed off his new uniform for everyone. Uncle Vernon was really proud, Aunt Petunia was in tears, and I… well, I'm pretty sure I cracked a rib trying not to laugh. Diary, if possible Dudley looked even more like a pig than usual in his new uniform. It has orange knickerbockers! Orange!
Oh, Diary, I can't wait till I go to my new school… a new start! Just imagine!
And now, as usual, Diary, I must say bye for now.
Bye!
