ENTRY ONE

August 31st


Dear Diary,

So, another Summer Holiday has come and gone. But of course, not just any Summer Holiday; my last.
Christ, every time I think about the fact I'm facing my last year of Hogwarts, my stomach ties itself in tight knots. There's so much expectation on my shoulders I can hardly breathe; I have the most important exams of my life approaching more quickly than I can keep an eye on them and I have the prospect of severing so many ties - with no guarantee of forging any new ones.

A life without Trsiel, Abbie and the others? Not worth thinking about.

It's a huge world out there and my parents are expecting me to make so much of it. It wouldn't be so bad if every time I thought of a relaxed year, the image of my disappointed parent's faces didn't come swimming into view.
All I want to do is wave my wand and poof! I'll be back in my first year again - whole school career in front of me instead of behind.

Everyone I've been writing to are talking about how they are so glad that their time in school is nearly over. I just agree, pretending I can't wait to leave Hogwarts as well. I mean - how can they think like that? They're leaving their home of seven years - didn't they like it here? Don't they feel the same way as me about the place?

I haven't told anyone else how I feel about it all, I really wouldn't know where to begin. It's nice to have at least you to get these these sorted with. Sometimes you just need someone who doesn't judge or answer back.

I have to go now, I have plenty of packing to do before tomorrow.

I'll write again as soon as I can, hopefully the day after I get back to Hogwarts.

~A very dejected,

ENTRY TWO

September 6th

Hello again!

Sorry I haven't written all week but I've just been so busy. Dear me, I just looked at my last entry and I was a right barrel of laughs wasn't I? Well, I'm OK now; I've just decided that I should be excited about leaving school - not worried. After all, there are so many opportunities just waiting for me out there. And just think - no more rules holding me back!

Anyway, it was the first Hogsmeade weekend today (I know, they're starting really early this year) and it was a welcome end to the week I tells ya! So, I went on my own, and thought I would just meet someone in town. Well, yet again, I was mistaken, and spent the vast majority of my time wandering around the shops, aimlessly.

Things soon perked up though when I paid a visit to Honeydukes. I was on my way to buy some of my favourite [gummy] sweets and I bumped into this properly fit girl called Olivia-Evan.
To be fair, I acted like a right prat to start off with; mumbling and blushing. Never mind, things soon started going right, and I got the impression she really liked me too. She's a Gryffindor 6th year so I've got the all-clear. I'm even thinking of asking her to this ball coming up. However, I think it all might be just a hell-of-a-lot too soon.

Anyway, I must fly, I'll probably write later on if I can't sleep. But even if I don't I'll be writing a lot more often through the week.


Toodles!

ENTRY THREE

September 7th

Can't write much today, been pretty busy and I'm just about to go to bed. Sorry if I write weird words today, I'm in a very weird and confused mood.

Anyway, Abbie just got the team together today to tell us that training will soon be back in action for the Hufflepuffs! I can't wait to get my broom back into the air; poor thing's been stuffed in my trunk for just shy of two months. Plus, I'm sure I've put on wait due to lack of exercise.

Had History of Magic today with Professor Orrin. I don't think I've ever met a prick like him. I mean, who gives a shit about Giant Wars hundreds of years ago? Their better off dead in my opinion anyway. But, every cloud...

Naida Yeni just happens to be in my class. Christ, she's so fit. I mean - Olivia's hot, but what I wouldn't give for a piece of Naida. Damn, that looks a lot worse on parchment than it sounded in my head. I'm not that shallow - honest - I'm just feeling a bit sexually frustrated at the moment. But can you blame me? Seventeen and still a virgin - yikes, makes me shudder just thinking about it.

Anyway, I'll write tomorrow first chance I get.

ENTRY FOUR

September 8th


Dear diary,

Another day of monotony I'm afraid. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot the most exciting bit of my day; 10 points docked from Hufflepuff. I mean - I never lose points! I'm the good one!

This might sound a bit depressive, but I've been thinking about death a lot recently as well. It's never been something I'm very scared of. Obviously I still have a strong survival instinct, but I've always just accepted my Athiest views as just another part of life. Today, I found a much more comforting way of thinking about the 'you are just your body' theory. I figure that we are all living on borrowed time. The atoms, ions and molecules that make up our body are the earth's, and when we die we are just paying back our debt. No-one can escape it.
But then I thought of the dementors of Askaban. The dementor's 'kiss' in particular. Surely that means there is a soul? And therefore there is some kind of afterlife. Unless your soul just disintegrates when you die. I mean, we learnt in Transfiguration that the house ghosts are just self-made copies of their former souls. So actually, the more I think about it all, the more I realise there is no way of knowing the truth for certain.
Well, perhaps there is just one way.

Sorry diary, that was a rather pointless entry. I've just been thinking a lot recently, and I needed to put pen to paper to make sense of it all.
