Sept 3

Chapter 2

Hey journal, So I had my first Charms class today! Professor Virneburg seems really nice and didn't seem to be startled by my age. I mean, I'm 5'2", so it's not like I'm that much taller than an average 11 year old. Turns out I'm considered advanced at the moment, probably because I'm the only one who has been practicing for two years already.... because its illegal for any of them to practice... yea I don't see my being advanced lasting too long. Don't kids learn faster? Anyway. I met Rose Granger-Weasley today, which was pretty cool. She's a seventh year, so she's only a few years younger than me. She seems pretty nice, plus obviously she has the coolest parents. I keep hearing whispers about her cousin James Potter and some funny business last year, but I have only gotten bits and pieces. Everything seems fine now, so who cares? lmao. Oh, also I signed up for a online-wizardy club thingy???? I don't know, but it asked me to put my backstory so here's what I wrote: "Due to extremely overprotective parents, a powerful Fidelius Charm kept me from receiving my Ilvermorny letter until adulthood, and I was raised as a No-Maj out of fear.. oops.. a Muggle. (They actually thought I might have been a Squib at first anyway. Turns out I just have ADHD and autism, so it took an extra few years. They were pretty shocked when the dog food on the high shelf spilled over directly into the dog bowl, despite the fact that there was no way I could reach. I just thought it was a lucky earthquake that did what I was trying to do!) Once I turned 18 and learned the truth, I studied on my own for two years, with some help from my parents (after I forgave them.) Now that I'm 20, I have chosen to continue my magical studies "across the pond" at Hogwarts instead, focusing on Magizoology and nature-based magics. My father was a Pukwudgie talented in Arithmancy, and my mother was a Thunderbird skilled in Divination. I am a proud Hufflepuff, though my father says I definitely would have been a Pukwudgie at Ilvermorny. I am definitely not going to go straight into the Ministry after my studies like my parents did when they were my age (it scared them into hiding their magic!). Feel free to ask to pet my Service Crup! Anyway... Go Badgers!" I'm sure the younger Muggle-borns will think that's "cringy." I don't really care though, I'm just happy to learn. See ya later!
