When you start Hogwarts, all you think of is, 'how are you going to survive here?' Well, once you have settled in, you get homework. You need to study most of the time and there isn't much time for fun and games. My friends, James, Sirius and Peter mess around ALL the time and they get detentions. However, I have only had one detention in my 4 whole years at Hogwarts. I don't get them because I read, study and think about my work most of the time. Sure, that sounds boring, but who cares? It's only me thinking that. But after some complaints and objections, I have decided to write this book to help fellow students. Now, my friend, Emma is kindly going to publish this book and make sure everything goes ok.
Thanks, Emma.

Anyway, let's get on with this book....
