The Journal of Remus Lupin

55

I'm going to Hogwarts tomorrow! this is it. This is finally it!

I've been practicing how to keep my hair one colour. Uncle Harry asked me why my hair was black for so long...I just shrugged. It's better you know, keeping it a natural colour. James says my hair kind of looks like his but not as messy. I don't know.

I don't know what my real hair colour is....i'm not even that sure what I look like exactly. People say I look like you...i'm not sure. Anyway, I should be asleep now but sleep is hard...full moon is in a week. So, there's that.

James is acting funny. He's being nice to Al and that is never a good sign. I think he's up to something. Anyway, I stayed at the Potter's for dinner and I think he might've put something in Al's soup...maybe even mine. Hopefully not mine.

Grandma is getting a bit teary-eyed. She keeps telling me how i'm like her little Nymphadora (mum hated her name...I can tell. No offense, but Edward is pretty bad too.), so excited to go to Hogwarts. She noticed that my hair was black. she told me a story.

When mum was starting Hogwarts, she kept her hair a dark shade of brown. She was scared...of y'know, being different. Grandma says that she won't stop me, but she told me to be myself. The problem is, that makes NO SENSE. I don't even know myself! I mean, it's weird and I can't walk into Hogwarts with neon orange hair or something!

I have to try and get some sleep now. I'm pretty sure it won't work but...well...I'll try. Bye.
