As I sit here with these gifts in front of me, the remembrall from James, the book from Sirius, and the socks from Peter, I realize that these are the first gifts that anyone outside my family has ever given me.
Okay, okay, maybe I am getting a bit sappy. Still, I can't help but appreciate them. Gosh, if they could read this now.... I think I'd better put an extra lock on this thing again! You know, I've been experimenting with paper lately. Great Aunt Kath sent me a book called "Paper Magic". It teaches simple things like how to make a paper airplane fly, or how to make the text from a page appear and disappear at will. It's really cool, and I think I'm getting the hang of it. At least I hope that I'm getting it right.
It's enough to get me through our more boring days before school starts again. Just my luck, full moon is gonna happen on the second day once school starts again! Why couldn't it just happen now, here, at home, in the basement? I don't want to arouse any suspicion by being absent on the third day of school after my..... Transformation. What could I possibly give as an excuse to the marauders? Maybe I can use the famous "I got sick" excuse... No....they'd notice that I say that too many times. How about the "dad got sick" excuse? No....why would I go home one day after arriving at Hogwarts? That excuse is way too predictable.
What should I say? Maybe I could say something like "I fell down the changing staircases", or "I was stampeded by wild hippogriffs". I'd seem like a total klutz then.... Ugh! This is so hard! I'm gonna focus on Paper Magic for now.
