Entered into James Potter's notebook, labeled Property of James Potter, bound in leather:
September 1 Midnight You know, I never cease to amaze myself. Today, on my first day at Hogwarts I've already proved myself as a completely cool guy! Not that I need to prove it, but hey, no one trusts you when you tell them that you're the greatest thing since, SINCE BOWMAN WRIGHT. (who was the genius who developed the Golden Snitch) Well, that might be stretching it a bit…
I was about to purposely accidentally stride into a girl's compartment and watch them all blush, then listen to them squeal once I'd left saying politely that I was sorry. It was my way of establishing myself as very cute in the girl community. Girls never start rumors about you if they think that you're charming. So, I was just walking along when I bumped right into a boy who looked me up and down like a vulture and said snidely, "Nice shirt." I glanced down at my pink button down and smiled saying, "Why thank you! Pink has always been my favorite color…" A younger boy behind him sniggered. "Ah, Regulus. I think my new best friend has got you speechless!"
I raised an eyebrow because I don't really keep in touch with my Inner Eye and didn't know what that meant at the moment. The older boy laughed (they were obviously brothers) and said, "Whatever, Sirius. I'm just glad I'm not first year anymore." Off went the older boy into a compartment. The younger one turned out to be my newest friend, Sirius Black who's first words to me were, "Well, anyone who takes my brother's sarcastic remarks with pride is a friend of mine.
We both started talking and I've come to realize that he's terribly mischievous which is great considering my plans for Hogwarts. He taught me the only spell he knows which is the Alohamora spell for opening locked doors. Anyways, thanks to him, I'm very famous at the school. This is what happened. After I told Sirius about my girl trick, we decided to get some chicks to think we were cute. When we went outside, a boy my age was making rude remarks about some kid named Peter Pettigrew. I being of course one of the nicest people I know told him to knock it off and the hook-nosed fancy pants told me to shove off. He took out his wand and was about to do some serious magic when I pushed him so that he stumbled backwards right into the Prefect's Compartment which I opened with my Alohamora spell! Since there were a few people watching, it's going around the school. Boy, am I going to be popular!
Said in James Potter's head by Sorting Hat:
"Well, you certainly are a genius, but you overflow with bravery and confidence. The nobility of your mind is epic. I'll go with GRYFFINDOR!"

Written in James's notebook at 8:30 on September 2, during Potions class. Professor Slughorn is blathering on about his relationship with Tim Scotty, Romanian Raptors famous Chaser:
HOGWARTS LOG Slept through History of Magic. Professor Binns doesn't pay attention to you. NOTE- If you want to sneak out, he'll never notice. Professor Slughorn is full of it. He'll love me in about as long as it takes to answer a few questions correctly.
Scribbled by Sirius Black in the margins of James's notebook at 8:32. Slughorn tells Kim Scotty that she'll be a great Slytherin Quidditch Player:
Are you serious? (no, I am!) You're taking notes on this?
Note conversation shared between Sirius and James at 8:33 while half of the girls in class take to staring at the both of them:
James: Of course not! Why would I care about Tim Scotty? He's not half as good as Geraldine Wellsburg.
Sirius:What are you writing then? I hope I didn't become friends with a freaking poet.
J: I'm keeping a log of Hogwarts.
S: Why the hell would you want that?
J: That way I'll always remember, for future reference.
S: Future reference?
J: Well, I'm going to know this place like the back of my hand by second year.
S: Sounds extremely dangerous. I'm in. Let the fun begin. By the way, all the girls are staring at us.
J: Who could resist ; )
S: Very true, mate, very true.
James's Log:

Letter from Mrs. Potter to James:
Dear James,
Tell me all about how you like Hogwarts. We send love in the form of chocolate. Hope you're meeting new people . Don't even think about asking for the blue fireworks.
Love Mum and Dad
