Dear Diary,

I want to go to Hogwarts. It sucks having to be at home while most of my cousins are off at school having fun. Molly keeps writing about all the great things she's doing and I'm here just not doing anything. D'ya know the most exciting thing that happened to me today? I found a Galleon on the floor and Mum said I could keep it. Since she's a Muggle I'm not even totally sure if she knows how much they're worth. Either way, that's it. The most exciting thing. All day. I can't wait to go to Hogwarts. Molly's hoping that I'll be Gryffindor like her, I think, but I'm kind of hoping for Ravenclaw, like Cousin Dom. Dad says he thinks Mum would be a Ravenclaw if she had gone to Hogwarts. Although, James says he thinks I have some Slytherin in me. So we'll see where I go, I guess. It doesn't matter which house I end up in, of course. It'll just be great to be at Hogwarts. I've heard so many amazing stories.

That's pretty much all I've got for now, I think. I'm still not great at this whole diary thing, but if Mum thinks it's a good idea it probably is. I have chores to do, which sucks. I hate having to clean, and it sure seems like Dad could do it a lot faster just by waving his wand. But he says I've got to learn responsibility, which... isn't fun.

Anyway, later I guess,
