This will be a collection of Journal Entries throughout the Marauder's years at Hogwarts. If a prompt comes up that works, I'll write maybe before Hogwarts or after Hogwarts.

These are not in any particular order.

I picture Sirius to be a bit formal in his writing at first. Just thought I'd mention. Also, I really don't know what an 11 year old boy would write about in his journal, I imagine it to be whatever pops into his head.

Sirius Black - First Year - Part One

1st September

Journal of Sirius Orion Black III

This is a nightmare! I've ended up roomed with some awful boys.

Especially James Potter. He had the nerve to call this a diary - he told me girls write in them. He also went on and on about girls having long hair and told me I should be sleeping in the female dorm.

Then the one who was reading a book had the nerve to scold me when I hit Potter. It was self defence, and Potter definately deserved it. No-one insults my hair and gets away with it!

Maybe I should speak to the Headmaster in the morning and get him to move me to a private room? I know the Slytherin's offer private rooms. Surely Gryffindor have the same luxury?

I never once considered that I would have to share a room. I don't think I like it - it's too open, I like my own personal space.

2nd September

Journal of Sirius Orion Black III

Well, I am stuck in this place. Honestly, red everywhere - quite tacky. I've heard that the Slytherin dorms aren't tacky, they are tastefully done.

They also have private rooms. Honestly, Potter is acting like a common muggle, running around after a shower without a stitch of clothing on. You would never see me do anything like that!

Maybe because I know how to act!

Mother's letter arrived. She wasn't happy - she thinks Dumbledore rigged the sorting to spite her. If that's the case, I'm slightly less annoyed at being placed here - good one Headmaster!

And I have better hair than Potter, I don't care what he says. At least mine stays in place. It doesn't look like I've just rolled out of bed and left it sticking up all over the place. You would think he would take some pride in his appearance!

7th September

Journal of Sirius Orion Black III

It turns out that my dorm contains some odd characters. Remus Lupin is a prude - what's the point of communal showers if he locks the door with such extensive charms when he goes in?

It's not like I want to be looking at his skinny body... it can't look much different than mine, right.

If anyone should lock the door, it should be Potter. He has no concept of pulling the shower curtain around him. I've seen him naked four times now, and it's not a pretty sight at all.

Pettigrew muttered something about the house wanting to sort him somewhere else, but was tight lipped after Potter teased him about it being Slytherin. According to Potter, all Black's are insane and evil, and all Slytherins were slimy gits... apart from his mother.

Whose a Slytherin.

And a Black

And my Great-Aunt.

The words pot and kettle spring to mind, though I'm trying hard not to think about the fact that I'm related to this disgusting creature called Potter.

The highlight of my evening was watching Lupin tell Potter off for calling me evil and insane. It was strange having someone stick up for me. That's never happened before.

12th September

Journal of Sirius Orion Black III

Mother isn't getting anywhere with Dumbledore. He's saying that the hat's choice is final. He even demonstrated in front of her by putting the hat back on my head.

Any hopes she had at that moment were dashed, hearing it shout Gryffindor. I think she truly accepted that I'm one of them. (Am I one of them though?)

I did file a complaint about my room-mate nudity, but mother didn't seem to care, nor did she want to take it up with the headmaster. I'll just have to find a way to get Potter to wear clothes myself.

It turns out I'm not the only one bothered by the overload of nakedness in the dorm. Lupin seems to be bothered. This could be relating to the fact that Pettigrew has taken to walking about in his pants. At least he's not naked though. I've seen enough male-flesh to give me nightmares for a long time!

16th September

Journal of Sirius Orion Black III

I have my first friend. I 'mentioned' sorting out a solution to the nakedness problem and Lupin actually smiled. I haven't seen him smile in the first few days, so it was new. He casually mentioned a sticking charm working on a timer.

I had no idea what to do, but Lupin had it all worked out. Potter's had those clothes stuck to him for two days now. We're not cruel - they'll be able to be removed on Sunday.

But maybe it'll teach him to wear pants in the dorm, his arse is the palest one I've ever seen in my life - not that I've seen any. Okay, compared to mine, and the time I walked in on Lucius in the shower (and he squealed like a little girl!) Doesn't Lucius ever go out in the sun? Some naked sunbathing would help with that pale skin!

Potter's too!

I've enrolled Lupin's help to get revenge on stupid Snape who knocked into me in the hallway. Who does he think he is, knocking the heir of the Black family.

Turns out Potter has something against him too. Pettigrew is eager to help.

I have to stop writing, Lupin has found something in the books that can help, and Potter is calling me a little princess. I'll show Potter how much of a princess I am.
