Day 1
Dear Diary,
Today was a most exciting day. I met some of my new classmates. I also learned of a wondrous little club here of magical knitters!
I’ve unpacked my things, and already sent an owl to Mother asking for some yarn and needles so that I might better participate. The others seem willing to help me learn to knit properly. How nice of them! The other Ravenclaws especially have been very willing to share their wealth of knowledge. I certainly was sorted into the right house!
I expect this year will be a lot of fun, Diary, and I’m very excited about my classes – they look so interesting!
More preparations
Dear Diary,
I had a wonderful birthday party last night! Lots of my friends came, and we had a lot of fun just hanging out and chatting.
Today, I was allowed to sleep in! That’s a rare enough occurrence that I thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed every last minute of it. After I finally woke up, Mother brought me via portkey to Hogsmeade and then up to Hogwarts, since I couldn’t very well ride the Hogwarts Express from the US West Coast!
I found out that I’m 100% Ravenclaw, just as everyone expected! I’m so excited to be here, and surrounded by people that will surely become fast friends. Already there is such a sense of belonging that I’m not sure why I was ever nervous!!!
