Diary,
My first day at Hogwarts is tomorrow. I can't wait to be out of this place. I want to feel excited but I have so much pressure on me that I can't fully be happy. Do I ask to be a gryffindor? Like I want. Like Sirius wants. Or do I ask to be a gryffindor, like the rest of my awful family wants. I don't want to disappoint anyone.
See you tomorrow
