Documentations? or Delusions? IC Journal

A dark journal, embossed in red,
An enchanted lock, but weak and dead,
Deep ink, mysterious inside,
What secrets does she have to hide?

The dormitory is quiet. Silent, even. I do not know anyone here yet, but glimpses of conversation have been exchanged. The common room is lively; being in it makes me understand why the sorting hat might have placed me here. I am tired, but content. The girls around me are fast asleep, and sometimes I can hear them snore. To some, that might be a nuisance, but to me it is pleasant, a reminder that I am not alone.

But, in a way, am I not? Being alone at Hogwarts, of all places, is still being alone. Even if alone now means staying up late gossiping with my dormmates, or having every meal with a group of students in the Great Hall. Nothing compares to home, nothing ever will. Even the majesty of Hogwarts can not light a candle to the sprawling countryside of Wiltshire.

But I digress. There is beauty in this odd place. Beauty in all my classes even, although praising school has never been something my heart is wont to do. This shall always be different from regular school, though, and no, not just because of the magic. There is a certain pleasant beauty in the houses and one's dedication to them. Even my own heart felt aflutter when the Sorting Hat announced gryffindor and cheers erupted from a certain reddened table. The bold and brave, isn't it? Well, I certainly fit the advertisement, don't I? But I do believe Hogwarts shall find something that scares me, if it's the last thing it does.

And the people, oh the people. I believe some may already have my heart. Rosaline is pleasant, has been since the day I met her, and I find we stay up late talking far more than we should. Perhaps my inability in Astronomy could be attributed to her? Speaking of Astronomy, how I loathe it. Why must classes be held so late? Of course, I understand we are staring up at the sky for Merlin knows what reason, but must we really do so during the week? It ruins my sleep, and I cannot begin to focus, but that seems to be something only I am bothered by.

Oh yes, everyone else seems to be settling in quite nicely. Hardly anyone I have met is being plagued by thoughts of home, but can you blame me? I've always been pampered, always been sheltered, and now, all of a sudden, there is no one looking out for me. I am on my own, for better or for worse. Well, maybe not completely alone. Daisy May is still stubbornly by my side, and for her, I am forever grateful. Any chance I get, I find myself whisking her out of the dormitory to explore the grounds. I think it reminds her of home; she loves it as much as I do. When we're not out and about, she's curled up close to me, and it makes studying a bit more bearable.

But, for now, farewell traveller, and a little bit of pixie dust (from Muggle Neverland, of course) to be with you on your way. My journey to the beginning has only just begun, and, for all its ups and downs, I will soon be soaring to the second star on the right.
