A Year Of Magic Vol.1

Chapter 2 The journal of a Diamond

Querido diario (Dear journal)

11/1/91

Today was my very first day of my fourth year at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry. Dios mío (my god) I still can't believe it but I'm a Diamond and my Father who is Professor Snap made sure I made it to the fourth year at Hogwarts. If only my Mother was here she would be so proud of me. She would have loved to see me do higher magic. Mother was a half-blood and my Abuela was a Muggle Born. She's from Puerto Rico so that's why I say things in Spanish sometimes. Most people like my Father find it strange that I speak a language that only some muggles know. I was born by accident with Severus Snape as my biological father. I lived with my Mother Maria and my step dad Adam Diamond for most of my life which for me is only a year. Once my step Father married my mom I became a Diamond until they died but I'm not really sure how all I remember was Mother smiling at me and that's it she was gone. So now I live with Severus Snape after he found me at the scene where my parents died. I never had a middle name because my Mother did not think it was important. The day my parents died Sever became my middle name because Severus Snape didn't want anyone to know he had a daughter accidentally. He thought people didn't need to know especially after the incident. He never told me how my parents died but whenever I would ask him he would always say "You'll find out when you're older" and now I know. Father wasn't able to bring me to Hogwarts so he left me with a list of the time I should get ready, when I leave the house, and the time the train to Hogwarts leaves. Father should have known that the day before I had already packed all my belongings and food for Pulto my owl it was 8:00 a.m so I had a spare time of 3 hours I used my spare time to go to Diagon Alley to buy some school supplies and an extra wand just in case it is a dark brown, Holly wood, Thestral Tail Hair core, and 12 inch. When I finished getting everything I went to the station and I saw mi amigos (my friends) Harry and Harper Potter got on the train. I went in after them and of course I surprised them like every year and offered them to sit with me in the private sittings. They said yes and we talked about our summer and the adventures we still want answers too. It's still funny how all of this started on my 11th birthday when the letter came. Father wasn't excited although I wish he showed some appreciation but of course he doesn't show that much emotion even towards his own daughter. But I'm glad for the little smile he gives me and I'm glad I met the Potter siblings Harper and Harry. Oh, I wrote too much. Oh well I like to write anyways I have to go now.

PS if anyone is reading who is not me or Harper. Fred and George I hope you boys enjoy the hex I put on this book. <3
