Dear Diary, I am Leta
Chapter 1
Leta Lestrange to be exact. I´m on my way to my first year of Hogwarts. The Hogwarts Express is filled with the strong smell of cinnamon as I made my way alone into a compartment, heaving my briefcase into the compartment above the seats i sat on only moments afterwards. Why I am being so specific, I don't know. It is the year of 1907 and I am 11 years of age. A boy that looked right around my age entered my compartment and sat down in front of me without saying hello. He don't bother looking at me either. His hair was red and curly and he seemed to be holding a rather light briefcase and heaved it into the compartment above his seat. ¨Hello,¨ I said politely, because thats what im supposed to do, right? He shyly looked up at me and waved at me with his left hand. ¨hello.¨ he said in a small voice. ¨I´m Leta. Leta Lestrange. You?¨ he triddled his fingers in his lap and slowly looked up at me again. ¨I- I´m Newt.¨ he smiled timidly, then looked back into his lap. ¨Newton Scamander.¨ Abruptly, another boy that seemed to be a bit older entered the compartment, heaved his briefcase up and beside Newt´s and sat down. He was drastically taller than Newt, by about three of four inches. His hair was combed back slicker than his, and his uniform was a bit neater. I asked if they were brothers. ¨Yeah, we´re brothers!¨ the other boy said. ¨Theseus Scamander. And you are?¨ I smiled slightly and looked at him. ¨Leta Lestrange. Nice to meet you.¨ I willingly took his hand and shook it. ¨So what house are you going to be put in?¨ he asked me. I was a bit surprised, considering most of the wizarding world knew of my family name. ¨Ravenclaw of course. What about you?¨ he smiled his rather obnoxious looking smile and chuckled. I wasn't talking to him I was talking to his brother. He sat silently, looking at his lap, twiddling his fingers. ¨I'm in Huffle-¨ ¨You Newt. What house are you going to be in?¨ he didn't bother looking up at me. ¨I-i´ll be in H-Hufflepuff.¨ he said in a mumbling voice. He seemed to have a stutter too. I think i kind of liked him more than his brother.
