Chapter 3 Awakening

September 10, 1973

Dear Diary,

I've finally made it to Hogwarts. Of course I was sorted into Slytherin. The hat didn't even touch head and I barely sat on the stool when it sorted me. My table erupted in applause and as I neared they were crying saying their savior has come. If anything they should be saying that about Papa, not me. I was seated between Bella and her sister Narricca or Cissy and we were surrounded by my bodyguards Lucius Malfoy, Evan Roiser, Rodolphus Lestrange and Severus Snape.

I find it quite annoying that I need protectors when I am capable of taking care of myself. Papa says that he is afarid that someone might attack me and that is the reason. Im happy he cares for my well being, but this is just too much. I have to disguise myself becuse I am now 9 but look like a 13 year old. I found recently that nt only was my mother a veela but also a metamorphmagus.

This helps greatly and Papa says it will be of good use when he puts me on missons. My classes are easy and I can tell that I will be top of my class just like Papa. The professors simply adore me. Especially the short one Flitwick. He got so over excited as if I put a cheering charm on him, very amusing. I don't think that I have ever been around this many people before in my life. So many different personalities so many different colors.

Im used to only seeing manic pureblood raving about their values and laughing at mudblood suffering. Here its so much more. When people laugh, its true, pure untainted laughing. How I envy them. Surronded by people who only want hate an brutality and wealth, I wish for a true friend. Bella is good company, but I want someone I can tell my true feelings to. I begin to see the real reason why Sirius Black went rouge.

It looks very tempting right now. Oh how I wish Regelus was like his brother then I could really fall in love. But no, he is weak, just like the rest of them. They will give their lives for someone who sees then as nothing but pawns. How idiotic it is. So many students have had their lives disrupted by my Papa. Ministry owls fly in five at a time giving news of loved ones being killed by Death Eaters and by Papa himself.

Their is so much hate towards him. I find that I don't blame them. As I stated earlier, they hate him for good reason. I don't fear Papa anymore, I pity him. Papa's end is coming is coming soon. I can feel it. I wonder what these weak-minded people will do once Papa is gone. Turn to me no doubt. I most think of what I shall do in that situation. Continue what Papa started? Or turn to the light? Both are apealing, but which should I choose?

What do you think? Tell me. Any requests? Write me. Should Marie choose the light or dark? You choose. Chapter 4 is on its way. Tootles
