Prologue: The Weird Diary

Amy Holmes woke up early in the morning. Today was he first day at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her mum was a witch; her dad was
a Muggle. Her dad was not too happy about her decision to go to Hogwarts; he
didn't like the thought of his daughter being a witch. Still, this was Amy's call,
and she wanted to go. She grabbed her books and got ready to leave for Kings'
Cross Station. Her mum shoed her into the car, and they were on their way to the
station. She said good-bye sadly to her mum, and went through the barrier and
onto Platform 9 and 3 quarters. She boarded the train and sat in a compartment all
to herself. She was joined by some other first years, but didn't speak to any of them.
She was too worried about what it would be like at Hogwarts. She did, however,
hear some of their conversations.
"You are so lucky to be alive, Jess!" A boy with red hair squealed when a
girl with jet-black hair and green-eyes walked into their compartment.
"Guys, I really don't wanna talk about Amadeus right now," the girl with
the black hair said. Amy gasped when she said Amadeus; everyone else usually
said You-Know-Who's son besides the nine people in her compartment. Finally
they turned to Amy.
"Who are you?" the girl with the jet-black hair said.
"My name's Amy Holmes," Amy said, "And you'll be......."
"Jessica Potter, pleased to meet you Amy," the girl said.
"You're Jessica Potter? You're like famous, and so is your dad! This is so
cool! I never thought I'd meet you!" Amy cried.
"I'm Robert Weasley," the red haired boy said. Amy stuck out her hand to
shake his, but he backed away.
"I'm James Weasley," said another red-haired boy.
"I'm Alexander Weasley, call me Alex," said a third red haired boy.
"I'm Sara Weasley," said a red haired girl.
"I'm Sandy Finnigan," said a blond girl.
"Cameron Wood," said a brown haired boy.
"Molly Thomas," said a really pretty blond girl. Robert blushed furiously
as she said this, but Molly didn't seem to notice.
"And I'm Neil Longbottom," said a round faced boy with brown hair. He looked around for a moment, then added, "By the way, have you seen my toad?"
"No," Amy said. Amy didn't really like these kids, they seemed too cliquey. So she sat quietly for the rest of the ride to Hogwarts. After what seemed like ages they finally arrived at the Hogsmeade Station, where they got off the train.
"Firs' years o'er here!" called a rough voice. She slowly walked to where a giant man stood.
"4 to a boat! How're ya'll 9 doin'?" The giant said to Jessica and her friends. Amy snarled. She didn't really dislike these kids, she was jealous, she realized. So she climbed into a boat with Cameron and 2 other kids. They rowed and after a few minutes they got their first glimpse of Hogwarts castle. There were some oohs and aahs, whereas many people just stared. Amy was quite relieved when they reached land. She eagerly hopped out of the boat and followed the giant to the big front doors of the castle. The giant knocked, and a woman that could only have been one of their professors appeared.
"The firs' years, Professor McGonagall," he said.
"Thank you, Hagrid," the woman said and led the first years down the corridor into an empty room. She told them to wait there for a few minutes and would come retrieve them for the Sorting Ceremony. Amy sat to herself as she had done on the train, and patiently waited for Professor McGonagall to come back. When she returned, Amy followed her with all the others into a large hall. She looked up at the ceiling, and what she saw was a black sky full of stars. She gasped at how beautiful it was. All of a sudden a hat that was sitting on a stool began to sing.
"Oh......................" Amy listened intently to the song, yet she couldn't understand the hat at all. So she waited until it finished and clapped along with everyone else in the hall. Then she watched as McGonagall called up the students 1 by 1 and had them try on the hat. She watched carefully as Jessica and her friends tried it on, but otherwise she was totally oblivious. The hat had barely hit Sandy's head when it yelped "GRYFFINDOR!" Sandy smiled and ran over to the Gryffindor table. A few names later Amy herself was called up. The hat was placed on her head. She waited for a second, and then it said to her, "Hmmm, your mum was a Ravenclaw, but that doesn't seem like it fits you. So better be GRYFFINDOR!" Amy smiled and walked to the Gryffindor table. She watched as Jessica, Neil, Robert, James, Alex, Sara, Molly and Cameron were all placed in Gryffindor. After everyone had be sorted, a brilliant feast appeared on the table. Amy ate as much as she could, and was stuffed within minutes. After the tables had been cleared they sang the school song. Then the whole school went to their common rooms. Amy and the others followed the Gryffindor prefect up many staircases until they reached a portrait of a fat lady. The prefect said, "Godricus," and the painting swung open, revealing what could have only been the Gryffindor Common Room. All of the Gryffindors seperated into their dorms; Amy found herself sharing a room with Jessica, Sandy, Molly, and Sara. She saw her trunk next to a bed on the far right. She plopped down on her bed and landed on something hard. She closed the curtains around her canopy bed before seeing what it was. It was a small leather bound book. It looked vaguely like a diary. Amy opened it and gasped. It was a diary; the diary of a girl who had attended Hogwarts long ago. Amy had found the diary of Katie Bell.
