During Lunch, Monday, September 12th, 1977

Dear Diary,

Today is something practically unheard of. It's so practically unheard of that I'm documenting this during lunch, when I normally have other things I'd rather be doing, ie. eating, but this is so colossally rare.

I am having a good Monday.

This is extremely surprising, because I don't think I've ever had a good Monday. All bad things happen on Mondays. It's like the gods get together and cram all the crap stuff into one day. Mondays.

But today is going wonderfully.

The pumpkin juice at breakfast was replaced with nice, ordinary orange juice. Let's hope it's a permanent change. It'd be too much to hope for that they get rid of the pumpkin pasties.

I had the best pancake ever for breakfast, with lots of maple syrup.

The first class, Potions, was taken by Professor Winters, because Professor Hawke was sick, so we got to make whatever potion we liked.

In Charms, we got to go over Hilarity Charms, which are so fun. They make you think that the lamest joke is hilarious. ie.

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

A: I don't know, I'm a duck!

and…

Q. What's a Shih-Tzu?

A: A zoo with no animals!

Ok, they sounded much funnier under the charm.

In conclusion, I'M ACTUALLY HAVING A GOOD MONDAY!

Lily

And I bet James apologises today.

During  Double Transfig., Monday, September 12th, 1977

Dear Diary,

We get to be changed into the animal of our choice for this entire double!

This is so cool.

I'm going to be lion cub. I got the idea from the Gryffindor symbol and all, and it just sounded so much more fun to be a cub then a fully grown one.

Lily

Um, yeah why does Lily always write where she is at the start of every entry? That's just weird, Lil. But, so Lily will stop glaring at me, I'm on the grass next to the lake, and, after seeing Lily write in this ALL THE TIME, I decided it is enchanted and had to check it out to ensure her safety. I read it, and the book's safe, but as for Lily's psychological wellbeing, I have no idea. It's still Sunday…And yes, Lil, I do know long words like "psychological wellbeing".

This is Sirius, by the way.

And maybe Lily should try and think really hard about whether she shouted anything during The Fight which may have greatly offended James.

Basically, maybe you should try apologising to him!

For once!

(Just so you know, James isn't going to apologise, because YOU SAID SOMETHING REALLY BAD)

Meaning, it's your turn to apologise.

And you have serious denial issues.

And, couldn't you just make your children use sun-protection charms? Or at the very least make them wear a hat?

I LIKE PUMPKIN JUICE!

Sirius

P.S. APOLOGISE TO JAMES!

P.P.S. YOUR WRITING IS REALLY MESSY!

After Taking Back My Diary From Yet Another Evil Person Bent On Invading My Privacy, By The Lake, Monday, September 12th, 1977.

Dear Diary,

My writing is so not messy.

I don't have to apologise to James, because whatever I apparently said, it was probably because he antagonized me into saying it, making it HIS FAULT!

I have no denial issues, thank you very much.

Hello, hats are totally ugly. And they wouldn't be able to use sun-protection charms until they learnt them, which was 3rd year!

 PUMPKIN JUICE IS DISGUSTING!

Anything containing even a hint of pumpkin in it is disgusting. Pumpkins should forever be banned from civilised society. Why don't people realise this?

Hating pumpkins, and anything pumpkin-related,

Lily

I AM NOT GOING TO LET SIRIUS BLACK RUIN MY MONDAY!
IT"S STILL A GOOD MONDAY!

Hiding In A Broom Closet Outside The Great Hall, Just After Dinner, Monday, September 12th, 1977

Dear Diary, The person that was previously known to me as James, James Potter, or just Potter, shall from now onwards be known as HIM, HE, or IT. (capitalised so you can tell the difference between other, hes, hims and its.'

This is because of THE THING HE DID (which will be abbreviated as TTHD), and THE THING HE SHOULD HAVE DONE FIVE DAYS AGO AND STILL HASN'T DONE (TTHSHDFDAASHD).

He might also be occasionally referred to as THAT COMPLETELY HOPELESS BASTARD WHO IS A WASTE OF OXYGEN AND DOES NOT EVEN DESERVE A GRAVESTONE WHEN HE DIES (TCHBWIAWOOADNEDAGWHD)

Actually, that might be a bit long.

I would also like to point out that Caroline is a bitch.

They had pumpkin juice at the dinner table.

I never liked Mondays.

*******************

Sorry, I know this chapter is really short, but it had to be just Monday.

The next one will be longer, I promise.

And there is a lesson to be learned from this chapter

ok…

Dutch Lily Flower: Thanks! I read your story and it's really. good.

forbiddenlove: Thanks! It's my story that I write whenever I'm on the bus, actually.

Laura: Sorry, I really don't have any idea where this is going. Thanks…

faithenter the matrix: I've read fics with Lily's diary before. thanks. you reviewed so many of my stories!

Chocolate Taco: I have never even got to the point in a journal where I have 20 pages left, so you're good at it. I have no idea what my friends would do if I was drooling on a desk…I've never fallen asleep in class before. I know this kid in yr 7, Steve, who fell asleep during a science test.

Faith456: Thanks. and L/J fics are the best, everyone should read them.

Paruety Redal: I'm writing a chapter, and I haven't written in a diary. I should, but I'll survive.

Guard_Girl: Actually, I hadn't heard that thing about the nile river. It's strange…

yeen: thanks, this story is my random one where basically anything I think of happens because I haven't thought of a plot or anything for it yet.

BastsCleopatra: Thanks! That's a lot of exclamation marks there!

Kellie: Thanks so much!

Mary-Kate: I think writer's block is going to happen. writers block always happens…

heather12345: I know Lily is jealous, and Nat had to steal the diary, because everyone had to know that it's really Lily's fault, and she has to apologise.

CrystalBallerina: Nobody can abuse the right to use exclamation points. One can never have enough exclamation points.

CrazyStarz: I'll say whatever I want, thanks. don't say really so much. I stole the idea for the lists.

Jazlyn: Yes, Lily's absolutely, completely in denial.

someone: sam, right? ur the only one who says hu. I got both ur revies if u r sam. a Friday night. congrats.
