That was just the intro! Well thank you all who reviewed!
Mel: I did, see? Review again please
Audreyblaine: Thank you for the review! I think it is a good idea too! I read you first chapter and it is good, I'm going to read more when I get the third chapter done.
Kaydotsidot: How in the world do you say your name?I was nervous about how the first "entry" would turn out, I didn't know exactly how she would start it. But I'm sort of satisfied.
Christmas Day
At home in my bedroom
9:30 a.m.
I just got this journal for a gift and I don't know whom it's from. It came in a silver box with a purple ribbon around it and a note saying, "To record everything in that pretty little head of yours. Merry Christmas" At first I ran up and gave my dad a huge hug to thank him, and he denied giving it to me. I knew the handwriting was a boy's; it was in an almost illegible scrawl. So I was confused. I don't know anyone who knows how much I love to write except my family. Well that's enough; I am going to find out somehow.
The rest of my gifts were also really great. Here's a list:
A white sweater from mum
A set of quills from dad
A pair of knobby yellow socks from Petunia
A locket form James (he always insists on sending me gifts to woo me into becoming his girlfriend.)
A book called "Hogwarts, A History" from Kathleen (my best friend)
Chocolate Frogs and sugar quills from my other friend Sandra
A "hair care" kit from my friend Aubrey.
And finally this journal, from an anonymous person.
Today we are going to London to visit my mum's mum. She is in the hospital with a broken hip, on Christmas!

At home in the kitchen3:00 p.m.
We went to the hospital and saw my grand mum. She looked miserable. She could hardly move and constantly complained about how bad she hurt. I love my grand mum but I just do not understand why she is so cold with us. She never writes, she doesn't usually accept our calls, and she only gave a washcloth for Christmas. I know it has to do with me being a witch. She's just like Petunia, neither of them approve of a witch in the family!
I am not even accepted by people I used to call friends. My best friend in grade school was Harriet Lipnisky a really nice girl. When I was accepted at Hogwarts she got mad at me for not going to the same school as she was! Then I felt obligated to tell her I was a witch and then she slapped me and ran out. She told everyone and now all the neighborhood kids hate me. The day before I left for Hogwarts the guy I had a crush on threw a rotten apple at me. I was so mad that my magic caused his hair to fall out. Now no one really bugs me, which is good, but they are scared of me.
I wouldn't have such a problem with people being afraid of me if my family would accept me for what I was. Mum and dad are great they are very supportive and most of my extended family is too. But my own sister treats me like vermin. She is very cold and glares when she looks at me. I wonder if she even cares that I have feelings! Well I am going to stop writing for now, still have an essay to write for Herbology.

I am so, so sorry about that last entry, I just got this journal and I am exploding all of my thoughts into this book already. So I will not do that anymore, well not until later. So I will tell you about how the year at Hogwarts is going, prepare for a potter update, mostly.
The term started as usual, I start classes and get loads of homework. It is our fifth year so we have OWLs at the end of the year. So I have been working very hard, especially in Defense Against the Dark Arts, one of my worst classes. Most of the problem is due to us always switching teachers; ever since I started we have never had the same teacher for more than a year. This year our teacher is Professor Robertson. She is a short woman with long graying hair that is always pulled back into a loose bun. She has a very deep voice for a girl, almost harsh.
My best friends, Kathleen, Aubrey, Cassandra (Sandra), and I usually spend our time in the common room, unless we can go on the grounds. We love the grounds; there is so much room and fresh air. Even when it is cold outside, you can go out on the grounds. The day before Winter Break my friends and I had a friendly snowball fight, and then we realized more snowballs were in the air then were being thrown. We soon realized James and his "marauders" were cursing their own pile of snowballs to fling themselves into our fight. I then threw one as hard as I could at James, which hit him very hard on his butt, well then our fight was well out of control. The enchanted snowballs, and the manmade snowballs from both teams put together was enough to make a fight go much farther than it was first intended. The last one thrown hit Professor McGonagall when she came out to tell us off. She laughed at it soon after she finished yelling.
Now, since I am on the topic of James, we need to get things clear. He is a selfish, stupid, brainless git. I am not stupid. I bet he thinks I am! Whenever he is about to go and curse someone he looks over at me and my friends, messes up his hair and throws spells at people, well Snape, but he's still as much as a person as everyone else! James always looks over at me, yeah "I hope Lily's while I jinx someone who isn't prepared, yeah, that'll impress her! Does he really think I am so thick! I know he has a crush on me, everyone does, and he doesn't even hide his efforts. I do not hate this idiot, I just wish he would get a brain, and soon!
