A/N: I have read many many fics, they all kind of blend together, if I step on anybody's toes by the similarities, please let me know, for it is truly unintentional.

Dear Journal,
Just the first night back and already so much has happened. Ron and Mione are really starting to bother me, they just won't quit harping on me about last year, can't they see that I don't want to talk about it. I just want to be left alone. Then, at the opening feast, Dumbledore announced that all students sixth year and above will be submitting to a soul mate potion. As it is, apparently the school contacted all of the families over the summer and all but three approved. The Dursley's were more than happy to oblige, seeing as it meant I wouldn't be coming back, not that I care, mind you, but I don't know, to be tied to someone else for the rest of my life, what if they hated me? What if by being with me, something happened, Merlin knows that anyone associated with me has a big target attached to them. I guess the houses are going to be kept for the first through fifth years and the soul mates are going to be give the seventh floor corridor, since the room of requirement found itself required to move. So here, in just a few short hours, some poor cursed soul is going to be stuck with me. I haven't been sleeping well; actually, I haven't been sleeping at all. The nightmares, or visions, whatever they are have been relentless, so I've pretty much given up on sleep. I snuck out of my aunt and uncles at the beginning of the summer when I realized I'd be up all night with nothing to do. I disguised myself with some of Dudley's old Halloween makeup that ended up in my room and went into Diagon and Knockturn Alleys and bought a bunch of books and a new wardrobe, I was tired of Dudley's rags, sorry I digress, anyway I've been studying all summer and I've learned quite a bit. I can now master wandless magic (seems the ministry doesn't feel the need to track it seeing as no one in centuries has been able to do more than the most simple of spells and even then the completely tax themselves, even Dumbledore supposedly the most powerful wizard alive, drains himself when he uses it) which I don't seem to find that difficult or taxing, I find if I think things, they happen as well apparently, I unconsciously developed the ability for voiceless magic as well although it is a bit more difficult. I have mastered concealing charms, virtually unbreakable, to mask the fact that I haven't been sleeping; and silencing charms for I've also taught myself to play the violin, I've found it to be my one piece of comfort in this cold cruel world. I've also picked up a bit of Latin and French as well, I studied back through past text books and learned all I could through them, and picked up a few supplemental books to clarify points I didn't understand before, I find now that I can wandlessly do all of the charms and transfigurations and such that we learned in the first five years, plus those that I've been learning on my own. I've finally decided it was time for a change, no longer will I sit idly by whilst someone dictates my every move for me, I'm done, no more, I refuse to be anybody's puppet anymore. I'm ranting, I know, anyway the others will be waking shortly; I should make it back to the dormitory to shower and dress for the day. Thanks for listening.
Harry
