Dear Diary,

You're so perfect. I'm glad Hermione chose you to give to me as a gift. I love how you are Gryffindor-themed, as I am a Gryffindor myself. You should get to know me a bit before I share my secrets with you. I'm thirteen years old and I'm in my third year at Hogwarts, which is a school for witchcraft and wizardry. I look exactly like my best friend, Hermione Granger, I have the same birthday as her (September 19th), and we've both got the same last name! Everyone thinks we're twins, even though we aren't related. Maybe we are, who knows! I live in the United Kingdom, so I spell some things differently from those in America. But Hermione got you from Hogsmeade, which is in the United Kingdom, near Hogwarts, so you'll understand me. I'm best friends with Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, and Ronald "Ron" Weasley. I'm good friends with Ginevra "Ginny" Weasley and Luna Lovegood as well. I'm a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and it's so fun! The other two Chasers are friends of mine, Ella and Lily Amber. I've got a ginger cat named Crookshanks at home, and a ginger cat named Annie. Now I shall get onto the secret I should probably tell you. My friend, Alessandra, a Ravenclaw, has an identical twin sister named Theodossia, who is also my friend and a Ravenclaw. They are both the most beautiful twins that have ever existed in the wizarding world, according to the Daily Prophet, and I must agree. Alessandra is two minutes older than Theodossia. Alessandra's liked Harry for a while, but she's never exactly had the courage to tell him. It's not because he's the Boy Who Lived or the Chosen One, but because he's kind and a good friend. Theodossia likes Harry as well, for the same reasons her twin likes him. But, they haven't told each other yet, and I'm afraid if they do, a fight will break out between them.

Worried,
Emma
