Dear diary,
I talked to him today on the way to Hogwarts. I think he was surprised to see us, I guess Hogwarts doesn't usually get transfer students. We were roaming the train's hall looking from a room to sit in. my sisters were being picky, I think they were looking for the Weasley twins. He was there 'patrolling' apparently he's a prefect, and he was keeping an eye out for unruly students, I guess he's a British hall monitor. He was very courteous and nice helping us find a place to sit (with the twins of course). He has this adorable, sweet smile, and his voice sent shivers down my spine and make my heart stutter. I decided to let my inner eye out to play a little and saw a very thin glowing cord between us, connecting our souls. My parents have one but their cord is ten times thicker, I think it's because they've been together so long. I hope to get the chance for mine and Cedric's to get just as thick.
When we got to Hogwarts it was raining, I'm still cold. There was this huge guy calling for first years and transfer students. People started staring I guess they never heard him say that before, we were an anomaly. We got into some magically powered boats to cross the lake. Some little kid fell in but the giant squid threw him back in, my sisters started laughing hysterically. I didn't think it was that funny but I think the laughter had a lot to do with nerves. When we got to the castle, very cool, we were told to wait for a while before we would be sorted. Some of the little kids got frightened, I don't know what they were expecting. We finally were escorted by Professor McGonagall into the great hall, with an amazing ceiling that showed that it was still raining outside. A hush fell over all the waiting students. They were looking and pointing at me and my sisters. McGonagall went and put a hat on a stool, which started to sing some song about sorting us into our houses. When the professor got to my name she paused and her eyes bugged out, I guess they didn't know about my parents. Then with a slight hitch in her voice she called my name "Snape, Dahlia" you could hear a pin drop in the silence. I looked to Cedric while walking over to the hat, he looked surprised but not upset, thank Merlin. The hat came on my head and it was deeply surprised. "you're a seer, amazing" it said to me and then yelled for everyone to hear "Ravenclaw" dad looked happy as he clapped. I walked over to the table and sat down and watched Lily go up next. I looked at the W twins and they did not look happy. Then what my dad feared the most happened. The hat called out "Gryffindor". I burst out laughing my dad had a thunderous look on his face, Lily just smiled and went to sit next one of the Weasley twins. Violet got Gryffindor too and dad's scowl deepened. I just kept chuckling through out the whole thing. Some of my house mates got the joke and started chuckling too. Cedric had a smile on his face I guess he got the joke too. The Slytherins just looked pissed. Draco looked especially angry.
After eating the most amazing feast I've ever seen Dumbledore stood up talking about forbidden objects and the out of bound forest. When he got to the cancellation of the Quidditch cup which caused quiet an uproar, something happened that I didn't see. He was interrupted my the entrance of Mad-eye Moody, our DADA teacher. I knew he was coming but I didn't see his arrival. Twice in such a short time made me tremble. I barely paid any attention to the rest of Dumbledore's speech about the Tri-Wizard cup. When he was done we all got up to go to our dorms I wanted to talk to dad about not seeing Moody but the prefects didn't give me the chance so I guess I'll just have to wait till tomorrow. I wonder if it has anything to do with the rise of the dark lord.
