Hermione Granger's Journal

Getting to Hogwarts

    This is my first year at Hogwarts. I am super nervous. What will the pupils be like? Will I do okay? In case you don't know me, before Hogwarts, I was a top student in my school. I love to read and study. I spend most of my time in the library, making sure Harry doesn't wander off into the restricted section. Us students are not allowed in there unless we have a signed slip (signed by the teachers).
   When I received my letter accepting me to Hogwarts, I jumped for joy. I couldn't (well I could) believe they wanted me. Me! To be at Hogwarts. When I was on my way to the train station I couldn't find Platform 9 3/4. We I saw Percy Weasley the Prefect walk on to it, I kind of felt weird.
   I met a few people on the bus, some nice some not. I met a boy named Malfoy Draco, who Harry and Ron got in a fight with. Then Harry Potter, the one who broke off Volde- I mean You-Know-Who's spell. I was pleasured to meet him, but I bet he thinks I am a Smart Mouth. Then there's Ron Weasley, Percy the Prefect's brother. He got Harry into those collector cards from inside the Chocolate Frogs. His first one was Dumbledore. Albus Dumbledore.
  Crabbe and Golye are Malfoy Draco's gang. Don't like them either. In fact, I don't think I ever will. Kind of brats. Then Neville who lost his pet on the train. Kept running around like a chicken with no head. Couldn't really take it.
  Well, we are about to Hogwarts. I will write later, after Malfoy gets off of Harry.
