Dear Diary,
I wish you were real so I had one friend. Lily Evans is always trying to avoid me, laughing and chatting with her red-haired, poor clothed friends. I'm just like her slug, trailing endlessly after her but never spotted. Everyone bullies me for my greasy hair and long nose. I met a group and they think they're so cool. But I don't care about them. Really, they annoy me so darn much. There's a black, messy haired boy with round and awful glasses named James Potter. Then, there's his best friend, Sirius Black and he's an Arrogant prig. I wish to Avada kedavra him.
There's a tattered and wrinkled, freak named Remus Lupin. He's probably the best, I wish he was my friend. Then there's the fat, coward of Peter Pettigrew. He's so stupid.

Severus dropped his quill and stared around the green and damp common room.
His Slytherin classmates and bullies were taking a relax in Hogwarts garden. Severus couldn't bear it though in case Lily Evans, his sweet crush, bumped into him or worse was chatting away with The Group. Severus was suspicious of Lily. She always loved hanging out with the messy haired boy James Potter. She studied with Remus Lupin and giggled animatedly away with Sirius Black.
Alice Fortescue was her best friend and Severus had to admit, he liked her too but not as much. He adjusted his position but then dragged himself up and left the common room. He'd go to the library and study, Professor Dumbledore had given them an essay about Werewolves to do and Severus couldn't concentrate with Lily fluttering in his mind. He'd try again this time.
Laying his work in front of him, on the table, Severus pulled out his quill and scanned the book about Werewolves. There -interesting fact- down. Defence Against The Dark Arts was Severus's favourite subject which surprised him slightly. His mother, Eileen Prince, was a potions hero and detested D.A.D.A. He eventually -shouting at himself everytime he thought about Lily- finished the essay. His wrist ached and he was exhausted but it was worth it and Lily hadn't come.
"Remus, budge up!" A lovely, soft voice said. Lily had come. Severus stood as still as a stone, his mouth open and frozen as if time had paused and felt as if all his worries drift away. He was dancing and chuckling at the wedding of his and Lily's. His daydream stopped as immediately as it had started by Lily stepping, carefully but precisely, towards him.
"Severus, I'm so happy to see you! I've missed you soo much!" Lily grinned, her red hair flowing behind her. Severus could hear Remus as he turned over pages and embraced Lily, beaming for the first time in a month.
