How do I start? Dear
Okay. I’ll start again.
Dear Moon,
It’s awful! James and Albus have gone off to Hogwarts and left me! It’s not fair! Why do I have to wait two more years? I want to go too!!!!!!! I cried when the train left and as the smoke filled the whole of the platform because I was going to miss them and because I wanted to be on that train, leaving to the best place ever.
Dad hugged me and said he’d buy me a present: This diary. He said the best things to do to get rid of sadness were to either speak to someone or write it all down. He figured getting me this diary was a good option and I agreed. And now that I won’t have anyone to tease me at home (sniff…) I would have more time for writing. And he said that it would help me to write better and become intelligent like mum, Aunt Hermione and my Grandma: grandmother Lily who I'm named after. But what do you write in a diary? I’ve never owned one before…
Secrets? Spells? Worries? Deepest thoughts? I guess all of them mixed. And I’ll write as often as possible to remember everything I do and I’ll tell my children my adventures, just like Mum and Dad.
Oh no! I’ve been trying to forget about Hogwarts all day but it came again! :'( Why can’t they have a primary school too? It’s sooooooooo not fair! And Hugo thinks so too. He says he’d love to try transfigurations to play tricks on Rose but I know Rose is way too intelligent to fall for that sort of thing! I hope he doesn't find out I thought that about him. He’d think I’m saying he’s stupid. Today we had a long chat about which houses we would be in and we both agreed on being in Gryffindor because we’re so really closely related!
But I did see Scorpius Malfoy with his father. Mr. Malfoy only just looked at Dad for a few seconds then turned away. Dad and Mr. Malfoy were big enemies when they were in school but I don't think they still are. Dad had said something about having made up with him, but I'm not too sure about them. They're family is full of bad people, James says. Scorpius is in the same class as Albus, I think. Yes. He is. It’s also his first year. Hugo says he’s sure Scorpius’ll end up in Slitherin just like his dad, and granddad…
Well, Mum is calling me for dinner. I’m off. I’ll write again before going to bed.
Now what do I write to end? My name?

Dear Moon,
I’m back! We had a delicious dinner…As usual! Mum’s cooking is the absolute best! She said it was something secret Grandma cooked to make some of my uncles to eat their veggies. And it worked! Anyway, Dad was away all day. He went back to London after dropping us home early in the afternoon.
He told me where he went!
Him and my Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione went to a place that was important for them many years ago. He said it was called…I think ‘Grim Old Place’? They said the last time they went there was about twenty years ago. Before The Battle. And Hugo was over for dinner, his parents came to pick him up just a minute ago. We both didn’t want to talk about H******s because we knew we wouldn’t want to sleep tonight! But dinner was too quiet. The house feels so weird after such a loud summer with my brothers and cousins all over the house, excited about September. Mum says I should spend some time with Grandma because when Uncle Ron had to go for his first year, she was all alone but her mum kept her so busy that she forgot about H******s. But Uncle Ron told me that when they go back for holidays, she would always talk about Dad. That story always makes me laugh!
But now I’m yawning. Time for bed.
I know my dreams will be full of black robes, wands, red, yellow, blue, green patterns…
Goodnight.

Dear Moon,
I am getting used to writing in a diary now. And after a week of writing everyday, I think I really like it! Everyone has gone back to their usual lives. Dad went to work, he says it’s not the same ever since Uncle Ron left. Mum has decided to work from home because I’m all alone now even though I keep telling her it’s fine. I always tell her that I’d love to stay with Grandma (and I know Grandma would also LOVE to have me with her everyday) but Mum keeps saying she’s old and she needs to rest.
“You’ll go tomorrow.” That’s what Mum always says. I absolutely adore Grandma! She the best woman I know (after Mum of course)! Sometimes she gives me chores but then we get to cook cakes and eat and drink tea and she would tell me stories about my Mum and my uncles. She has a day for each of my uncles and my mum: Monday is for Uncle Charlie, Tuesday is for Uncle Bill, Wednesday is for Uncle Percy (she’s usually not in the mood on Wednesdays…), Thursday is for my uncles Fred and George (she often weeps on Thursdays because of uncle Fred D: ), Fridays are for uncle Ron and Saturdays are for Mum.
She would sometimes say a few things about Dad and Aunt Hermione on Sundays, when the two of us were left alone.
I find the best days are Thursdays though she gets sad, but hearing my uncles’ stories of twin mischief is really funny. When me and Hugo visit her, we have so much fun listening to those funny stories and she tells us never to do anything like that to our parents. She would always add: “You remind me so much of my little Ginny and Ronald…how I miss them.” I would always get sad because she seems so upset that her children have grown up and left her but she always says she’s proud of them…
But today I didn’t get to see grandma. I was at home with Mum who was reading Quidditch Throughout The Ages. I found nothing fun in all that reading and highlighting but I did start writing. I wrote a letter to Albus to know if he was okay. I knew he would’ve been surprised if he saw that I was becoming a better writer and I even told him that I was dreaming of becoming a writer for the Daily Prophet just like my uncle Percy and Mr. Lovegood—the dad of my parents’ friend who I’m named after.
I told him how I wished I could also be at Hogwarts with him and in Gryffindor too. I asked him if it was just like how everyone describes it and if he’d made new friends. I asked him which classes he liked and if he saw Rose and James often…
At the end, I told him I missed him and James and Rose and Fred and Roxanne and that he really had to answer because I had to know how he was. All I can do is wait for Xedo- our owl- to get the letter to him.
I can’t wait to learn real magic. All I knew was what I and Hugo had secretly learned in advance with our parents’ wands. I know it’s not right. I hope no one find out though! We only want to learn ahead before going to Hogwarts in two years…
I don’t really have much to write today. It’s been really boring especially because I didn’t even get to play with Hugo. If Dad comes back and brings me something good, I’ll write later. If not, then it’s goodnight.
Bye
