Dear Journal,

Blast that Wood. Waking us up at the crack of dawn to practice the blasted game of Quidditch. In the rain nonetheless. As if freezing my butt off and being pounded by Angelina isn't bad enough, I have Wood screeching at me at the same time. I wonder why I even bothered to join the bloody team at times. Anyway, besides all of that, our team is working well. Angelina, Alicia and I are practicing some group scare tactics, as well as some solo plays. Personally I am working on my scoring skills. I can steal the quaffle and pass like you wouldn't believe, but I always need to hand it to Alicia or Angelina to get it through the hoop. Even though Wood is always yelling at one team member or the other, he's a great captain. He's devoted, skilled at the game, intense, those intense eyes, and he's so gorgeous...

Oh lord. Not again. Whenever I get all misty eyed over Wood I lose focus on my game. Blast these bloody emotions. Besides, he is graduating this year and I am not. He hasn't the clue of how I feel. I need to forget him.

Bruises are healing nicely from that last game. Flint literally ran into me, full on, intentionally of course, and left quite a few marks. We didn't even get a penalty shot for it either. Blasted, stupid Slytherins. I'm as pure blood as them, smart as them, and as talented in Quidditch as them, but they still think they are better. Oafs.

So far, the only part of school I really enjoyed was practice, but now I am loving Transfiguration. McGonagall complimented me on my tulip turned turnip in class today. Too bad Transfiguration isn't all that useful outside of school. I mean, there is no job turning kettles into canaries or anything. I'm going to go pro anyway after I graduate. Being a chaser is my passion; I can't give that up. I hope the Puddlemore United team will accept me. It is after all the team Oliver wants to be in...

September 4, 2003
Today was my first potions class... it was awful. I met Professor Snape; the rumors about him are true. He is mean, unfair, and favors his own Slytherin students over us. He expected us to memorize our whole textbook over the summer. He took five House Points away from me today just because I didn’t know what color the Shrinking Solution should be.

I also had History of Magic. That class is such a bore. Binns has got to be the most boring person, or should I say, ghost, in the world. He yelled at me today because I dozed off in his class. He didn’t even call me by the right name. I corrected him like a million times, but he just couldn’t remember it.

I had a bad incident with the caretaker too. I dropped my ink on the carpet and it shot everywhere. There was a huge black puddle on the bright red carpet. He started yelling at me in front of the corridor full of people. It was so embarrassing. He told me that I had to scrub every carpet on the second floor as my punishment. Thank goodness some students started teasing his stupid psychotic cat, and he ran to stop them and forgot about me, or else I’d be stuck cleaning the floor for the next month!

Samantha Douglass, September 1992

September 5, 1992
Dear Diary,
I haven't written since I arrived here at Hogwarts. The Hogwarts Express brought us to the grounds, then we had to get into little rowboats to go across the lake. It was dark and eerie, but I had Snickers to keep me company. She is such a good cat. There were three other first year students in the boat with me. Willie Smithers came from a Muggle family. He was really excited, and hardly scared at all. Jill Winters is from a big wizard family. She has two sisters that have already graduated from Hogwarts. She has a brother in his 7th year, a brother in 5th year and another sister in 3rd year. She also has an eight year old sister, a five year old sister and a two year old brother at home. I can't even imagine having that many people in one house. Jack Meyers has a Muggle dad and a witch mother. He is an only child, so he doesn't know much about Hogwarts, except for what he's read in books.

Then there's me. Of course, you know I am the oldest, and the first to go to Hogwarts. I'm glad that both mum and dad are magic, they have told me some about their days at Hogwarts. I will sure tell Mikey and Amber about the school. Mikey will be here in two years, and Amber
three years after that.

So, back to our arrival. We came in under the castle in the boats. There was a docking area where we all got out. Professor McGonagall led us up some stairs and through hallways into a little room off of the Great Hall. We waited to be sorted. Everyone was talking about what they knew and had heard about the sorting ceremony. I didn't know what to believe.

Finally, Professor McGonagall came back and led us into the Great Hall. In front of the Head Table, there was a small three legged stool with a ratty old hat sitting on it. The hat sang a song about Hogwarts and the different houses, and then each one of us got called up to put it on. When Professor McGonagall called my name, I went and sat on the stool. I put the hat
on my head, and it was so big it fell down over my eyes. I could hear it muttering, 'hmmm' mum was a Hufflepuff, dad was a Ravenclaw-Where?' It must have been thinking about it for a while, but then it shouted out 'Hufflepuff!' I went over to the Hufflepuff table and sat down. I was the only one from my boat to be in Hufflepuff. Willie got sorted into Slytherin. Jill became a Gryffindor and Jack was sorted into Ravenclaw. I hope I get to see Jill and Jack again, I enjoyed getting to know them on the boat ride.

After everyone was sorted, Professor Dumbledore gave a short welcome to the students, and the plates filled with food. The feast was fantastic! There was roast beef, ham, and turkey, all elegantly served. There were three kinds of potatoes, vegetables too numerous to mention and loads of desserts. I had some pecan pie, but it was a hard decision with all the cakes and
sweets to choose from. I didn+IBk-t realize how tired I had become until Dumbledore announced it was time to go to bed. He gave a few announcements about rules and such, and then our House Prefects led us to our common rooms and our beds.

On September 2nd, classes started. Professor Sprout is our Head of House. She teaches Herbology, which was our first class of the day. We had Herbology with the Gryffindors, so I got to see Jill again. She said that she got to meet Harry Potter, a second year in her house. We didn't get to talk much, because Professor Sprout had lots for us to do. We learned about the different soils and fertilizers and what plants they are used for. I took good notes because it seemed like every plant liked a different combination. After Herbology, we went to lunch. I stopped in the restroom and washed up. Even though we didn't really handle the dirt, I felt all dusty and dirty. Lunch was not nearly as fancy as the start of year banquet, but there were still plenty of choices for what to eat. I chose a plain ham sandwich and some coleslaw. It was tasty, and refreshingly familiar after last night's feast.

After lunch, we went to Transfiguration class. That was hard. We were supposed to turn a matchstick into a needle. I didn't have any luck at all. Thankfully, I wasn't alone. Only one or two students were able to make any change at all to their matchstick, and even those were minor. I can tell that studying magic is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

I have a lot more to tell about the first few days, but it is getting late and even though we don't have classes tomorrow, I will need to study and do my homework.

Till next time,
Samantha

Argus Filch, April 1995
By Percyweasley

April 29th, 1995
That blasted Peeves! He broke two vases today as well as scaring the living daylights out of green lady in the portrait at the second floor. He's such a nuisance!

Everytime I bring up expelling Peeves from Hogwarts to the headmaster Professor Dumbledore, he usually just chuckles. I hate it. I bet he fancies Peeves deep down and even likes his antics. I respect Professor Dumbledore, but I really wish he'd just kick Peeves out.

I guess I'll go back to grumbling and oiling my handcuff set.

Tea Flower, September 1880
By Molly McGonagall

September 23, 1880
Dear Diary,
Today at Hogwarts was terrible. Slytherins were shooting sparks fron their wands onto the tapestrys and wooden things. The sparks cause a major fire. Thirteen Hufflepuffs, twenty Ravenclaws, and fifty Gryffindors were caught in classroom, hall, and ground fires. It was a miracle that not too many people got hurt. I sort of went out of my mind and went into one of the fires to save a big number of first years, even though I've only been in Hogwarts for two years. Only one of them got a a really bad burn. I now have ashes for arms and in the Hostpital Wing. My fellow Gryffindors are doing their best to cheer me up, and one of them so kindly offered to write this page for me. All the teachers are giving me a break from homework. Well, almost all of them. The new Potions teacher and the ghost-for-a-teacher gave me mountains of it. I can't use a wand anymore because my hands were disenagrated. The nurse gave me this horrible tasting stuff to help my hands and arms grow back before the end of the school year, but something tells me that it's not working.

Herpo the Foul, September 1234
By Harriet

September 14th, 1234
I have succeded!! The chicken egg under the toad has proved effective! I have created the species that was suppose to be a myth. The Basilisk. I am careful not to look in the small snake's eyes. They could and would mean death to me. According to the myth, its eyes will kill anyone who looks in them. The snake is very poisonous too.

Later
I just tested the effects of the snake on some of the chickens in my home. Many looked in The Basilisk's eyes and suffered instant death. I also took a piece of glass and (while closing my own eyes) made a reflection on the snakes eyes. The chicken looked into the glass and became paralized. I believe I can use the Mandrake Restortive Drought I keep in my closet to restore it and kill it properly.

I also tried the poisonous fangs on the chickens. They were killed instantly. So, according to my calculations, it should take less than a minute for a human to die from the poison. I love my new creation. Only now, find out how long it lives. I wish I can see its entire life. I just can't look into its fathomous eyes. That would mean death to me as well as the fangs. Long live the basilisk!!

Sarah Kell, April 1942
By Harriet

April 4th, 1942
My best friend has been petrified! So many people are being petrified by who knows what! No one feels like they can walk aroung this school safely anymore. No one in this school knows what's going on. Not even Professor Dippet!!

There's some talk about some kind of Celler or Chamber of Secrets. I don't know which. Theres so many rumors flying around. Our History of Magic teacher, Proffersor Binns says it's nothing to worry about and it will be sorted out, but our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher told us that it's dangerous. He read that Slytherin had made a secret celler of some sort and that there is supposed to be some creature within that will destroy all who are not worthy to stay at Hogwarts. The professor says Slytherin did not like muggles, which I, of course, had heard before. All the slytherins hate us muggles. So I could be in danger and now best friend is petrified.

In all my five years at Howgarts i have never seen anything like this. People are in a panic. I can't write anymore. Proffesor Dumbledore is calling us down to the common rooms. I have to go. I will write more if I can.
-Sarah Kell

An hour later
This is not happening. A girl's been killed. Her name was Myrtle. I hardly knew her, but she's dead. A girl from Slytherin found her. I don't remember the name.

Myrtle was found in the bathroom, as stiff as the people who had been petrified. I'm still kind of shook up about it, but it happened and I have to write about it. Dumbledore talks of closing the school down unless the culprit is caught. But they do believe they caught some one. A boy named Riddle told Proffesor Dippet that it was Hagrid. Rubeus Hagrid. He is actually a stupid boy. Never was bright and anyone could believe it was him. Hagrid had hid baby werewolves under his bed and one had gotten out and had almost bit somebody. Hagrid got five detentions for that. And just last week he went out into the Forest! He told people he wished to wrestle trolls! Another three detetions.

Dumbledore does not believe it was Hagrid. I could tell by the look on his face when Dippet came in the common room and told everyone. If it is Hagrid, he would be expelled. Hagrid has been taken to the Headmaster's office and many people believe the trouble is over. But that poor girl, Myrtle, killed because of a stupid boy who wished to continue Salazar's work. I believe it was Hagrid, and, I mean, who wouldn't? Besides Dumbledore of course.

Oh yes, and they are going to revive the petrified students! The Herbology teacher is going to make a Mandrake Restorative Draught that will awake them! I'm so happy. I didn't know if I'd ever see my friend again.

They are calling us down to dinner. They do belive the danger has passed. Its safe again.

Darien Knight, December 1898
By Molly McGonagall

December 26, 1898
Dear Diary,
Right now I'm lost in the Hogwarts castle, at night, and the caretaker is now a ghost haunting some Muggle house. I'm worried about all of this. The Care of Magical Creatures teacher said that some of the animals got loose and rampaged into the castle before anyone went to their classes. I really want to find my way to the Gryffindor Common Room. I can hardly see a thing. And no one has caught the creatures yet. Were they even creatures? Ah! Oh, it's just the Poltergeist rattling a suit of armor. No, I'm not scared Peeves. I just don't like the looks of what I think is happening. Go bug someone else! Peeves, so annoying. I'm not scared, I'm not scared. I'm just a little cautious that's all. Nothing to fear once I find the Common Room. What was that? I know that wasn't Peeves. Aah! It's, I have no idea. But it has sharp teeth and claws and is looking mighty hungry. Run! *Deep breaths while running and writing at the same time* Help! Oh! There's a teacher, but it's one most people would avoid. *Widened eyes* And the headmaster! I'm really in for it. Okay, which one's worse? Getting expelled or being eaten alive by a starving, who knows what? I think I'd rather get expelled. Aaaaah! Ouch! Get off me you, what ever you are. I don't want to be.... *Gasps of air, trying to get the whatever it is's teeth off my upper leg and write at the same time* Help me Professors, please! Everything is starting to go black....
-Darien Knight

December 27, 1898

Dear Diary,
I'm saved! And I'm not expelled! Though I am in the Hospital Wing and have a very bad leg, and being fussed at by the nurse about staying up to late and wandering around the castle at night and with that thing which happens to be called a White Black South West Asian Tiger. Beats me why they don't just call it the Thirteen-Year-Old-Kid-Eating Asian Tiger because it isn't black and white. And because I'm thirteen and I was nearly it's dinner. I have been given detention for a week though. And it isn't even necessary! Well, sort of it is. I did ignore Tea Flower's warning about going back to a classroom to get back something with the stairs going every which way. There's just something that isn't right here. They didn't catch the tiger when they had a chance. And it was the headmaster's idea to let it loose in the castle again. Tea Flower is a girl that had to be a student here twice and for all seven years again because of the stuff she had to take to get her arms growing back turned her years younger. Anyway, there's a sound underneath this bed and I wonder why it sounds so familiar? Huh? Aaaah! It's the White Black South West Asian Tiger! Someone get me out of here! HERE'S TO THE LAST WORDS OF THIS DELICIOUS MORSEL. IT'S GOOD IF YOU LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS AND NOT GO DO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT GET YOU KILLED.

Thomas McKane, January 1294
By Dawn Bluequeen

January 17th, 1294
Dear Journal,
Been a long time since I wrote in these pages, a lot has happened. Well, started my fifth year of Hogwarts and what a surprise I had when the Headmaster said there is to be no Quidditch this year. I was outraged until the Headmaster started talking about the Triwizard Tournament! It is such great fun, different wizard schools compete against each other in different tasks. I entered but didn’t get picked, and thank God I didn’t! Two of the contestants have already broken bones! It was quite a sight, one breaking a leg, the bone sticking clear out! The first task was to stop a troll from, well, to put it simply, killing you! Everyone did quite well but still came away with some bruises and scratches. Second task was to find a small gold key in a field of Imps. The third task is tomorrow, I wonder what else will happen? Well I have to go, must go to Potions.
-Thomas McKane

January 18th, 1294
Dear Journal,
Oh what a horrible day! First some stupid gits were picking on me in Herbology, then something horrible happens in the third task, someone dies! Josephine O'toole was killed by a manticore! Oh, it was a horrible sight, they couldn’t get to the poor girl before it stuck her to death. Oh, it's just to horrible, don’t want to write anymore!

Sir Nicholas De Mimsy-Porpington, October 1492
By Harriet

October 31st, 1492
I wish the war was over. 'Twas five years ago that it started and I've been through the entire war so far. I have not been able to write because we have been on the move with few hours of rest. William was killed a month ago and I miss him terribly. He had lost his leg and bled to death. I still
hear his moans in my sleep.

As I told you, wands have been banded in this war making it more dangerous and more bloody. Many people have died out in the field in pain and agony. I wish not to be one of them. If I must die, I wish it to be quick and painless. There shouldn't be war. War is pointless and wastes so many lives as well as ruining them.

My wife is at home and my son, Nicholas is attending his first year at Hogwarts. At least I hope my wife is at home. Less than a month ago, the rebels marched through the town, destroying it. Only a few survived. She has not answered my owls and I am worried. My son has sent me one, but did not mention of his mother. I asked if she was well, but he has not responded yet. I pray they are both alright.

The commander wished to move out today, but I believe that is impossible. I can hear the rebels in the far away wind and it is getting dark. I believe we will go into battle tonight. I must go get ready. I pray to myself that I will make it through this night, but the feeling in my stomach tells me no. But fate is fate and I must face it.

Tana Ovat, October 1942
By Dawn Bluequeen

October 14, 1942
Dear Diary,
A lot of strange things have been happening around Hogwarts lately, teachers whispering, 1st years staying close together, people getting hurt and then yesterday a girl was found dead in the bathroom, I can't remember her name. There are rumors of a secret chamber and how this might be connected with the girl. Then today they expelled Hagrid… Hagrid told me that they think that his spider 'which I warned him about getting in trouble' is the one that did the killing; I'm not a fan of spiders but even I don’t believe it was the Aragog. Also, Tom Riddle was awarded an award for 'finding' the guilty person. I just don’t believe Hagrid would do this, he is just a big softy.

I have been having trouble with the tick-tackal spell and I accidentally made Pam turn green. Pam has so many theories of what is going on that I cant name them all but I will put the most reasonably ones here (which aren't many). She thinks that there is clues to what killed the girl but she of course cant go and look at the body. She knows a lot of what the muggles call forensics, also she is just plain smart. She says that Professor Dumbledore seems to know more then he lets on, which I have always figured that there were many things behind the glasses. We lost are last Quidditch game to Ravenclaw, they have a good keeper but I'm still the best. Well I have to go... time for Muggle Studies.

William Pershire, April 1990
By Adrienne

April 17, 1990
Dear journal,
Today's an annerversary of mine. It was exactly a year ago that I got thrown out of Hogwarts, in my final year of schooling.

I don't talk about it that much anymore. Brings back memories I'd rather not touch upon. I was a proud Slytherin, with grades to be proud of. Most of the teachers who had no unfair hatred of my house liked me. I was a fairly social person, and the Prefect to look up to.

I was held in awe by some of the more recently researched forms of dark magic. Spells to control one's thoughts and dreams, enchantments to bend one's way of thinking. I researched the charms more and more in the summers, gathering script upon script about them, then spent my free time at Hogwarts pouring over them, memorizing, pondering, testing them.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore caught on.

April 17, 1989. Everyone was enjoying a Hogsmeade visit. I was in the library reading one of the studies I'd brought with me. Dumbledore entered, asked me why I wasn't enjoying the weather. He asked what I was reading. I didn't reply quickly enough. He took it from me to see what it was. He had me expelled.

Some days I wish I hadn't gotten involved in learning the dark magics. It's not what I'd like to admit having doing, but it's true.

Not all Slytherins have evil intentions, you know.

A lot of us are just ambitious.

I had missed graduation by two months. If I had waited two more months to become entranced by those spells, I would've been a complete wizard, not a failed one. I guess, though, in some ways this is better... I now know never to get mixed up in evil again.

Ever since then, I've basically become a Muggle. As much as I hated them during my schooling at Hogwarts, I've discovered that they're not half bad.

If only I hadn't gotten awed by those spells. If only.

April 20th, 1840
Dear Diary,
It is Easter and everyone is happy. Except for me. I've been at Hogwarts ever since my parents died and that was when I was born. Shouldn't I be happy on a day that happens to be my birthday? This has not been the perfect week. I just accidentally spilled Pumpkin Juice on this page. Oh well. Any way, I have a plan. I'm going to go to the Forbidden Flower Garden and spend the rest of eternity there. I'm tired of staying in these walls. Now, I'll just have to skip Potions to get out of here and go to the Garden.
-Becky Rosafine

April 20th, 1840
Dear Diary,
I am now in the Forbidden Flower Garden, and now I now why it's forbidden. There are killer vines and nothing but poisonous flowers are here. The pollen is bothering my eyes and nose. The vines have me tied down to a huge rock and are slowly injecting poison into my blood steam. I don't know how long I can survive. This might of been a mistake. I can only write for so long. Vines have started to bind my arms down. Wait, who's that? Dumbledore! I think I'm saved.
-Becky Rosafine

April 20th, 1840
Dear Diary,
I am now in the Hospital Wing, having the poison dejected out of me. I am so glad I was saved, but will I be stuck at Hogwarts forever? I'm tired of being surrounded by magic all the time.

Averie Mae Ryan, March 2002
By Bailey Porter

March 5, 2002
Dear Diary,
I was going through my stuff last night getting ready to pack up for Spring Break when I came across you. I think that momma gave me this diary when I turned 13 so that I could remember my teenage years. Ha! Who in their right mind wants to do that? Definitely not me. But I don't want to hurt momma's feelings so I guess I'll write in here occasionally. Well if she wants me to remember stuff, I guess I should write a little about myself. My name is Averie Mae Ryan. I'm 15 1/2 years old. I have an older sister named April, who is 19, and a younger brother Andrew, who is 11. I also have a cute little shiz-tu puppy named Arabelle.

I guess I could also write about my personality now and compare it to how I act a few years down the road. I'm really hyper and friendly and I can make friends with almost everyone. Sometimes that gets me in trouble, especially at school, but I'm also a really big suck up when I need to be. I'm friends with almost everyone at my high school and I'm really good friends with the middle schoolers too. But like everyone else, I have a small "clique", if you'd call it that. My best friend Janelle has known me since...forever. Our moms were roomates at the hospital and so they hung out alot together. Janelle's really cool and can help get me out of anything.

Well, momma's calling me. I guess I gotta go now. I'll write more later!

Lily Watson, March 2003
By Scargirl

March 30, 2003
Dear Journal,
Yesterday in Herbology class something very strange happened. I was helping Maggie carry the trays of mandrake into the room when Maggie fell to the floor. I told Sam to go for Madam Promfrey and she came right away. She examined Maggie and said that there was a bite that was swelling rapidly on Maggie’s left arm. Maggie was unconscious and we took her to the Hospital Wing.

Maggie didn’t wake up until about midnight when I was sitting by her side. Her eyes had turned green and she was drooling. She scared me so I ran off. I went to the greenhouse to investigate. There were footprints leading out of the greenhouse and into the Forbidden Forest. I followed them and then I almost fainted. Standing there was You-Know-Who. I was so scared. I was rooted to the spot. He spotted me and I took off. Sam came down on his broomstick and picked me up. We dodged his spells and tried to get out of sight.

Soon He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named hit Sam’s broom and we fell into the forest. We tried to find our way back to Hogwarts when we came across a cave. Inside the cave was an open potion book and a brewing cauldron. We read the potion to ourselves. It was a change of form potion. We saw a glass with a little bit of the concoction left in it. “Surely,” we thought,” that You-know who used this to change into a mandrake!” We thought that he was trying to make an army to over come sweet Harry Potter who graduated just a few years ago from Hogwarts. He had succeeded with Maggie but couldn’t get to anyone else before he started to transform back to his original state so he crept into the back room until everyone left.

We started up the staircase to Headmistress Adrienne’s headquarters. She greeted us at the door to her office and showed us inside. I just love her office. It’s full of different colors, and it’s so organized! She listened intensively to our story and when we were done she called all the teachers up to her office. She told them to put out a search party and to chase You-Know-Who out off the grounds. She told us to rest in our common room and we would be informed if anything important happened.

About an hour later Headmistress Adrienne came in and told us that You-Know-Who had left the grounds. The weird thing though is that she actually said his name. I never expected anyone to say his name. I’m still waiting to see if Maggie has recovered. They are trying to find a spell that can heal her. Sam went to bed. Hold on. Headmistress Adrienne came in and told me that Maggie has recovered! I’m going to see her now. Well, more updates tomorrow!

June 13th, 1990
Dear diary,
Tomorrow the seventh years will get congratulated and will be made into real witches and wizards, whatever they intend that to mean. I still have no idea what they plan to do to make that official.

I like Hogwarts. I don't particularly want to leave because my best friend, after she graduates, will be returning to her family in California. Her parents were displeased by the schools of magic in America, so they sent her to Scotland, where she's been staying with her aunt and uncle during the summers and attending Hogwarts during the school year. This summer she'll be taking an earplain (some Muggle thing, don't ask me) back to America, and I most likely won't ever get to see her again.

Joy.

Other than that, life's been pretty much the same as it has been all year. We finished our exams about a week ago, they were hard. I got really high scores in Potions compared to my previous years at Hogwarts, no clue why. Snape doesn't particularly like us Hufflepuffs.

This is getting really boring. Maybe I'll write on the train back to King's Cross Station in a week or so.
-Bridget
