Dear Diary,

Home is so boring now without Rose. Sure, she's super annoying and always getting me in trouble for stuff I didn't do... really, that I didn't do!... but without her there's nothing to do. Nobody to try and pin stuff on, nobody to prank, nobody to annoy... what am I supposed to do with this free time? Mum is always at work, and Dad's always trying to get me to do the things that Mum definitely said not to do, and I don't know what's wrong with Dad, but I definitely know better than to disobey Mum. I mean... she's Mum! She's really scary! Not to mention that she's the Minister of Magic. Dad might be a bit of an idiot.

On a different note, I think Roxanne doesn't like me. Why wouldn't she like me, we're cousins, and we've been studying with Grandmum Weasley for four years now! Lily and Lucy like me fine, but Roxanne always rolls her eyes when I talk. What is it with her? I tried to ask Lucy, but she said she didn't know. I think she was lying. I don't want Roxanne not to like me. Otherwise we can never work together to convince Dad and Uncle George to let us stay in the joke shop by ourselves, and that would be so much fun! Anyway, Mum is calling me for dinner.

Sincerely,

Hugo Weasley
