May 1st, 2014.

 I've never been so nervous than I was today. They put a battered, worn hat on my head, and to my surprise it didn't just speak aloud but within my head. Everyone was staring at me, I don't think I've been so aware of myself until there were hundreds of people staring. I hope my shirt wasn't too wrinkled. 

And then it yelled, it shouted me into Slytherin! So many people on the train told me that Slytherin is known for dark wizards, and I'm more than a bit worried. What if I don't get along with anyone in my house? What if the other houses don't like me because I'm Slytherin? 

I'm scared. But I'll be okay! My dorm mates don't seem too bad, but we haven't talked much yet. I think I'll keep Addy hidden for now. I don't want anyone to laugh at me. Maybe I should have left her at home. 

Tomorrow I start a couple of classes, just Transfiguration and Potions for now. I'm a nervous wreck. I guess that's not surprising. Everything makes me nervous lately.
