Dear Journal, I went to the library today to get out some more books, this time they were about potions and transfiguration. I need to study because apparently we are being set a really long essay later on in the term. I didn't find anybody in there, but I was only there for a few minutes before I got thrown out, me! Some students complained that my quill tapping was too loud and they asked me to leave! I couldn't believe it! I went down to the lake but got a bit lonely. I wonder where everyone is, I haven't seen anybody so far....
I guess that's partly my fault though, since I have spent most of my time in the library or behind a tree somewhere reading. At the moment I'm reading a muggle book called "Far from the madding crowd." It's a bit hard to understand in some places but I'm on chapter 15 and it's getting easier.
I miss Kerry from home, we spent a really good summer together back home. I hope Petunia has calmed down a bit, she went a bit crazy when I got home. Mum and Dad think she's missing me really, but I'm not sure. I think that this time she means it. I can't help but feel a bit down each time I think of her, we used to be quite close, well /reasonably/ close and now there's just this void......

Journal
I fell asleep in the library today and when I got back, I came into the common room to find Sirius making jokes about me in front of all his immature friends. I was so embarrassed and now I'm cross at the door which is odd because that door is the only thing that's keeping me and him apart right now.
I am really tired now, I've been working all night and come back to find the git doing impressions of me to all his mates. He's just lucky I'm not McGonagell.
As if that wasn't bad enough I'm now worried that everyone thinks the same, that I'm a high-and-mighty-I'm-so-much-better-than-you snob. I know they don't like it when I stick up for Severus but it's not because I like him particularly, I feel sorry for him. They make out like he's my best friend but they just don't understand, what's the big deal between Gryffindors and Slytherins anyway? If we were so brave and friendly, surely we would get along with Slytherins, not pull pranks on them.
So now I'm going to sleep but I'm wide awake and all I can see is Sirius, James and Remus laughing at me.....

Dear Journal,
I'm fine about yesterday now, Black probably didn't mean anything by it, I was tired from falling asleep in the library and I really don't care what he thinks. It has to be one of those.
Today he stuck a sugar quill to my ear, it was disgusting! He started tapping in an attempt to stop me from studying but I already finished so I tried to beat him! I was amazed myself so I don't know what he thought! But before long the game got out of hand and he started.......cracking his knuckles! I couldn't bear it and he saw this so cracked every bone in his body. I begged him to stop, I even offered to do his homework for him, which I can't believe now. As if this wasn't bad enough, both him and I got in trouble and ended up with extra work. So because of the aforementioned deal, Sirius dumped it on me!
I am going to bed now, very tired and still need to write half a scroll for Sirius' essay, but it's last period so I'll do it at lunch or in the morning.

Dear Journal
You'll never guess who I saw in the library today, well actually they distracted me a bit, but that's not the point! Remus, which I wasn't too surprised about but then Potter and Black! I couldn't study with them in there, especially when they were talking about breaking all the new rules! So I went out and up to the common room.
Today in my bag I found a rather strange bottle of something. It used to be butterbeer but I bought it on the train and now it has a bit of an edge to it. I don't know what it is but it was quite nice, Sirius seemed to like it but I took it away. I don't think it's alcohol but I'm not sure. I've put it in my bag so nobody know it's there except Sirius and maybe the others who were in the common room.......
I'm getting a little annoyed with Black actually. He found out about my pet hate for knuckle cracking and won't give it a rest. I really don't think it's fair. I don't flaunt his weakness, I don't actually know it yet but it is my goal to find out!

Dear Journal,
I actually had an intelligable conversation with Potter today! I couldn't believe it, we talked about books out on the grounds. At first I was happy to have someone to talk to and then he annoyed me and then....we actually had a nice conversation! He told me that he's reading a muggle book; 'the hobbit.'
I need to return a few of my books actually because I think I've got too many. I found several rips on my bag today, so I'm returning "Hogwarts: a history" in a minute. I better get going or it'll be closed before I get there.

Dear Journal,
I felt like death today, actually I felt like death warmed up. I think it was whatever was in that drink thing. Even when I'm writing, the quill on the parchment is giving me a headache. Well whatever that stuff was I got rid of it today, in the girl's loos. I poured it down the sink, if this is what it does to you, I do not want to get caught with it.
I think I'm going to have an early night tonight, I really don't feel well. This is so unlike me, what was I thinking? Drinking something and I don't even know what it is.....

Dear Journal,
I had a pretty normal day today. It was quite nice, peaceful actually. There was no loud bangs and annoying distractions from anyone, I'm not naming anyone in particular because at the moment I'm getting on quite well with them. So far I've heard them insult me twice, and they weren't very good shots, and I haven't seen them be mean to anyone else, yet.]
So all in all I had a good day!

Dear Journal,
I can't write much because I'm going soon but I just thought I'd write down that I'm going to Hogsmeade today! Yay! Sorry that was really immature, I can't believe I just did that!
I'm looking forward to the bookshop and I need some new quills and I can't wait to go to "The 3 broomsticks" that's the local pub where I can get a butterbeer. I think it's snowing, that'll make it even better! I love the snow, the way it blankets everything and anything, I suppose it reminds me of when I was younger and Petunia and I would play in it.......
Well I can't write much more because I have to go and get ready but I promise that I will write more when I get back, I'll probably want to remember this day forever!

I'm back, aren't I good? I did promise and I always keep my promises!
Well I went into Hogsmeade today, all by myself, and it started to snow, it was like magic! (No pun intended there.) I walked all the way up to the top of the hill on the other side of Hogsmeade and looked down on the village, it was like a mini-postcard, it looked so perfect. While I was up there I met a really nice boy, I can't believe this, I'm blushing! His name was Tobias and he was really elegant and sophisticated. He was really kind to me and complimented me, which made a nice change from Potter yelling insults at me! Anyway, I took him for a drink in the 3 broomsticks to say thank you and not only is Potter there, Black shows up too! I couldn't believe my luck! We ended up fighting and screaming the place down, I got some weird looks from some of the patrons. Then, out of nowhere, Anya sticks up for the jerk who is calling a nice guy a pervert!! I couldn't believe it and now I think she's mad at me, surely that should be the other way round?! Well anyway I stormed out and went back up the hill, I think Anya went back to Hogwarts, but I don't care where she is!
There is one problem though and that is that Tobias possibly three years older than me! No wonder women go for older men, if that's what they're all like compared to guys your own age! I mean he was really nice to me and then theres Potter, thats a hard one! Not. Anyway I suppose I should go now since I'm getting daggers from the girl on the bed opposite me. Calm down, love, it's only a quill on paper, geez you'd think I was jumping on my bed or something.....

Dear Journal,
Dumbeldore announced today that there will be a ball, a masquerade ball. I was at breakfast and all the girls around me started harping on about Black, I wanted to scream! One of them even plans to bake him a cake with charmed icing that changes colour every 15 minutes and says "Take me!" on the front, I can't believe how sad that is!
Talking of dates, I was out in the grounds earlier and Tobias was there too. He gave me a rose and asked if I would go with him, and I said yes! I don't think James was too thrilled but I was too happy to care! That reminds me I must go and get my costume soon, I have no idea what I'll go as......

Dear Journal,
I had a bit of a weird divination class today, my tea leaves said I would die in 14 hours! Well actually that's only what I thought it said but according to Anya, it said 14 years. The text book makes no sense so I didn't know!
The ball starts soon and I'm a bit nervous actually! I'm going as an angel, I hope I don't look too silly! I really like my mask, mainly as it covers my face, why do I have to be so pale and freckly! It's like a curse....

Dear Journal,
The ball was ok, I lost Tobias in the middle of it because I ran out after Anya when i saw her rush out. She was really upset for some reason, she didn't say why though. Anyway I ran after her and then she came back with Remus so I guess everything is fixed.
I saw aboy crying today as well, he seemed really upset about something but wouldn't say what.

Dear Journal,
Why are boys such perverts? Just answer me that...oh wait you're a book! Well anyway, today I was just looking out the window when Potter came in and we started talking. Before I knew what had happened Black came bounding downstairs yelling something about peep holes to see into the Ravenclaw showers! Well I told him about the hole we found the other week to see into their showers and how I had covered it up but now I was going to open it up again! Anya and Sadie think I should too!

Dear Journal,
I just found out the most horrid news. I knew that Remus lived with his Mum, Juliet but I found something out today that made me want to cry for him. His Dad, Romeo was crazy and burnt down Remus' house, while his mother was inside! I still can't believe it and it seems so cold and emotionless when you write about it but I feel so sorry for him. His mum is dead and he has no place to live. It makes my squabbles with Petunia seem rather insignificant. I gave him a hug at breakfast before all his friends came. I left after a while because they were talking about some sort of 'illness' which I didn't understand about, probably something to do with his disappearance once a month.....

Dear diary,
I'm shaking, like mad! I can't believe I even have the strength to write this, I should just go to sleep, I mean I have got classes tomorrow and I'm really tired....
Onto why I'm tired; Regulus tried to kill himself! He sent me and loads of other people a suicide note and I ran out into the grounds to find him trying to hang himself! Sirius charged in and managed to stop him from tightening the rope but then Reggie (I sort of think that's a cute nickname!) bumped his head and has lost part of his memory. It really freaked me out. Anyway, I was a bit panicky but I had to be really calm, even if I didn't feel like it, for Reggie's sake.
I told him he ran into a tree and he should go to the hospital wing. I wasn't really prepared for a suicidal 12 year old boy tonight. I had to deal with it while Sirius looked really angry, I'm not even sure why. OKay os Regulus may have been trying to kill himself but surely you're understanding and caring rather than cross and annoyed?
I'm really confused as to why Regulus was trying to kill himself. I found him crying outside the Great Hall the other day, maybe it was something to do with that. IT had something to do with Sadie and Sirius but I'm still not sure what and something about an unforgivable action, but Reggie didn't expand and he was such a state that I didn't push it....Maybe if I had he wouldn't have tried to kill himself. It's really shaken me up though, that someone would be so low in their life that they'd stoop to killing themselves. I felt so sorry for Regulus, actually my toes went a little numb as I watched him tightening the rope.
Hopefully he'll be alright soon, he doesn't remember trying to kill himself and I'm just praying that no-one will remind him. I'm going to look out for him more from now on, he doesn't seem to have many friends really so I'm going to be one for him. I don't care what the other Gryffindors might say, just because he's in Slytherin doesn't mean he's a bad person and it definately doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a few friends, right?
