The Hogwarts Diaries

My Name Is... Arabella :D xxx

My name is Arabella Gwenthyne and I'm a Gryffindor. Dont laugh, I've always hated my last name...it sounds stupid I know. Most people call me Ari though, which I have to admit is much better. I'm a pureblood and you know what...the amount of stick I get because of it makes me wish I wasnt. Seriously, everyone goes on and on about how amazing us purebloods are but really... we are just like everyone else. I have a family of 5. Well I know 3 members of my family anyway. You see, my parents abandoned me, my brother and sister without one word about it. The only thing they left was a note and left us on the doorstep of the best people I have ever met: The Weasleys. 

The Weasleys! Molly, Arthur, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny! My extended family. I swear my life would have been rubbish without the Weasleys, they are basically my family.

Molly is adorable and the perfect 'mum' and Arthur is funny and even has me hooked on how muggles use different things. I'm actually very interested in muggles, they are sort of mesmerising. I've never met Bill, he never comes back to the Burrow often. Charlie works in Romania with dragons, and Blake, my brother, has gone with him as he has finished Hogwarts and wants to work with dragons too. Percy, is a no-go area of talk right now; there has been a bust up with the family and therefore no one is talking to him. It's sort of a shame, he is a nice guy but...I don't know. I love Ron, I swear he is brilliant. He is the funniest guy you could ever meet. He is so sweet and its about time he asked Hermione out already, I mean come on could he be anymore obvious? Last is Ginny, she is the cutest thing. She and my little sister Mads are best buddies which is a good thing because I dont think that Mads would have gotton on with the boys and would have felt rather left out!

There are two people that I have missed out, but I have missed them out for a reason: Fred and George. My life would be a pile of ash without these guys. I love them both so much it is unbelievable or completely believable, whichever you prefer. They are like big brothers as well as my best friends. I hardly ever see Blake because he works a lot so I guess they are there for me when he isn't. They can be the annoying, over-protective, 'ruining my life' kind of friends/brothers and then the next we are playing pranks on each other and saying sorry, the fun mischievous kind (the latter is definatley my favourite!) They are also the two people I can talk to when I'm in trouble, normally they are the ones that got me into it or it involves them, but lets say that the three of us make a pretty good team, especially when it comes to pranks. There is a sensitive side to them as well though, but not many people see that side of them. They think that all they are mischevious but that's just their personality; it doesn't mean that they don't care. Fred is my mischeif-making twin, him and I are the ones with the ideas (as well as George of course) and making it a masterful plan. He helps me get my own back on the 'evils' at Hogwarts which is pretty good as well. Then there is George: he is my best friend, the one that I can come to with anything and he would help me get through it. The one that I can relate to the most, he is a physical part of me and if he wasnt there then...life as we know it wold be over. There is only one thing wrong with George: I really really like him. 

I also have my girlfriends, Olive, Dani, Frankie (Francesca) and Majaine. I do love these guys to pieces, but I cant say we don't have the odd argument or two. Especially as some of us are in different houses but we don't let that get in the way. Also, I have a rocky relationship with Dani, ever since she told me she likes George things havent been very stable between us. I mean...she knows how close we are and how much he has been there for me. She doesn't understand though, obviously I haven't told a soul about my parents abandoning me and if anyone finds out, I will be the talk of the school. She doesnt understand how close me and George are because of that one secret. 

Hogwarts is a place I adore, my favouite class being Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid. I love learning about magical creatures, they amaze me. Sometimes I go and visit Hagrid to talk when I have no one else and I love his company. I have always loved animals especially squirrels, I have some sort of crazy obsession with them. 

I'm also on the Gryffindor Quidditch team and I really do love it. I always thought that my dad taught me but when I was abandoned I found out that I learnt all my skills from Fred and George. I have to admit, I was rubbish back them. I used to get all sorts of grief from the boys about it but now even they admit that I'm pretty good now. I love Quidditch with a passion, it is a great skill to have. 

Okay, well thats about it really. I'm a metamorphmagus and love to amuse people with it - my friends find it hilarious. I guess its my wacky special talent. It can get quite annoying though especially when I get angry or am near George. Frustrating huh!? 

Well thats me, 

Moons and Stars, Arabella xxx
