JOURNAL ENTRY #1
DAY 1 AT HOGWARTS
TODAY MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE BIGGEST MILESTONE IN MY LIFE. I WAS CHOSEN FOR THE OPENING OF A TEACHING POSTITION AT HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY. OUT OF ALL THE APPLICANTS, I GOT THE JOB. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY PICKED ME, I WAS THE LEAST EXPERIENCED, AND THE YOUNDEST OF THE BUNCH, BUT MAYBE THEY SAW A QUALITY IN ME THAT I CAN'T SEE IN MYSELF. THIS IS A WAY GREATER JOB THAN WHAT I WAS DOING. BEING A SERVER AT THAT NASTY OLD TAVERN BARELY KEPT ME SANE. NOT TO MENTION, I HAD NO WHERE TO KEEP ALL OF MY BOOKS. I HEARD THE ROOMS HERE AT HOGWARTS ARE ENCHANTED TO HOLD EVERYTHING YOU NEED. THAT WILL DEFINITELY COME IN HANDY.
I HAVE ALL OF MY THINGS PACKED AS WE SPEAK, AND MOST OF THEM ARE ALREADY SET IN MY NEW OFFICE. AS I SIT AT MY OLD DESK AND I WRITE THIS, RELIC IS PURRING, AND BASKING IN A LITTLE PATCH OF SUNSHINE. HE WILL HAVE TO ME MOVED SOON, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CATCH THE TRAIN TO HOGWARTS IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. MY BELONGINGS HAVE BEEN STORED IN A TRUNK, WHICH WILL COME ON THE TRAIN WITH ME. IT HAS BEEN 10 YEARS SINCE I HAVE LAST BEEN ON THE TRAIN, AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TROLLEY. BLOD POPS ARE MY FAVORITE, AND MAYBE I WILL GET A CHOCOLATE FROG FOR RELIC, HE QUITE ENJOYS THEM. THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT THOUGH, I STILL GET TO GO TO THE FEAST, AND SIT THROUGH THE CEREMONY, BUT I WONT BE AT THE FOUR TABLES ANYMORE, I WILL BE AT THE PROFESSORS TABLE, OVERLOOKING THE NEXT GENERATION OF STUDENTS.
I VOW TO WRITE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, HOPEFULLY MORE THAN THAT, BECAUSE I FIND THAT WRITING KEEPS MY MIND IN TRACK. BEST REGARDS,
