1. I spent the summer trying to train to try out for the open Beater position, but I haven't told anybody yet because I'm probably going to be awful and embarrass myself. 2. Magic is sort of disappointing. I always knew I could see the future if I looked hard enough, and when Professor Egg came to tell me about Hogwarts and let me look into a real crystal ball, I thought there would be a lot more Divination. 3. I have three older brothers and three older sisters and they all think I go to a muggle boarding school on a scholarship. 4. Romance novels - not Portkeys to Paradise or anything, but real romance novels - are my favourite things to read. 5. Before we got these journals, I already had one that I wrote in every day. Mostly, it's just full of dreams I've had but sometimes I keep track of things I failed at that day or write poems.
