Tales From the Diaries

by 23a

The lives of the next generation of Harry Potter, told through diary entries. As they go on their own adventures and solve their own mysteries, make friends and fall in love, their thoughts are all written down, beginning with two simple words: Dear Diary. Chapters will vary in length, but will probably lean towards the short side. Rated T for safety.

Dear Diary,

Here I go, off to a third year of Hogwarts. It's fun here, but I will miss home a bit. On the bright side, my little brother Albus is starting Hogwarts today! Wait, did I say bright side? That's the dark side. Albus is a good little brother, sometimes, but I don't want him ruining all the friendships I have made here. My little cousin, Rose, the daughter of Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione, is also starting today. She's sweet, and I trust her not to ruin my reputation. Of course, in just two years, Rose will be going into third year, and her own little brother will start Hogwarts and possibly ruin her reputation. The struggles of being the oldest sibling. Although, to be fair, Albus will have Lily come along in his third year. But Lily is a great little sister, and we have in common that we are both named after our grandparents - the parents of the most famous wizard of the age, the great Harry Potter - I almost vomited writing that. He's just Dad. Anyway, friendships and classes and fun await, and possibly, even a date. Maybe one day I'll be like Teddy. I saw him snogging cousin Victoire. Although on second thought, I don't want to snog any cousins. So goodbye for now, diary, and I will write to you later.

Sincerely,

James Sirius Potter
