The Journal of Remus Lupin

Day ??

Why am I even keeping count of the days? I'm just too lazy to count them now. Besides, I'm kind of in a hurry. I haven't written in here for a while. I've just been a bit busy with classes, homework, and my friends, the marauders. Flying was a bit more challenging than I expected. Since all first years are required to learn, I am struggling a bit with that. All my other subjects are going well though. Actually, I'm beginning to really like D.A.D.A. It's a very interesting subject and today, we learned the knockback jinx. It's not that hard, and I was able to get it right away. Peter needed some help though. Flipendo, I'll have to remember that. We also practiced the shield charm (protego).

Potter and Black are becoming really good at hexing. They even managed to use the knockback jinx on Severus. It's not that I'm friends with him, but I kind of feel sorry for him. Ha! If my friends could read this now, they'd probably shun me.

I have managed to put a lock on this notebook. I have to admit, it would look suspicious if I carried a muggle notebook around with me, so I only write at night. Somehow, I feel guilty keeping my secret from my friends. No. It's probably for the best. What would they say if they found out? No, I don't want to think about that. I know I should keep my distance, especially since I know that they will figure it out soon, but... How can I? They're the best friends I've ever had. Plus, we are all in the same room...they'd notice if I would disappear.
