The tide angry like a raging beast
The sand flowing like time
The currents directing the rivers
The lake calm as a mirror
Oh, how I miss the Manor
The kitchen far below
The elves who at times ran wild
The traditions always upheld
Never to crumble never to die
Oh, how I miss the Manor
Always there to guide
Comfort during sadness
Someone to lead while I follow
Someone to celebration triumph
Oh, how I miss mother and father
I am unsure how I feel about all of this. It is the first time I have been unable to see mother and father for longer than a few days. I am beginning to miss them dearly. Everyone here has been friendly enough. I know times have changed but mother and father always talked of how when they went to Hogwarts Slytherin was looked down on by the other houses for the people who had come out of it. That no longer seems to be the case anymore as no one has outwardly treated me poorly for my house alone. Despite everyone being overly friendly in general greetings I have yet to make a friend. I'm not sure as to why this may be but nevertheless I will continue to attempt.
The food here is questionable at times. It reminds me of when mother tried to cook because the house elves we had all fell ill. Luckily, they were well by the time breakfast came around the next day. I have found the kitchen resides in the basement along with the dormitories. The one time I wandered in was shortly after dinner. I was only able to stay for an hour or so before they kicked me out as I had been trying to look through the windows on the wall of barrels. I had assumed they were decoration as they were painted in the most magnificent display of colour and chaos.
I have yet to receive any homework from the teachers though I'm sure that will pick up quite soon. As such I have been reading as much as I can and have learnt quite a lot from independent studies. Well it has been lovely writing.

Determined and brave the Gryffindors
Creative and wise the Ravenclaws
Patient and loyal the Hufflepuffs
Cunning and adaptable the Slytherins
I am not brave
Cowering at times
So I could not be a Gryffindor
I am not wise
Making stupid decisions
So I could not be a Ravenclaw
I am not patient
Quick to anger
So I could not be a Hufflepuff
But slytherins are not kind
They are not loyal
They are not chivalrous
At least that's what father says
I am cunning
Faster to find truth
So I might just be a slytherin
I am adaptable
Moving about with ease
So I might just be a slytherin
Slytherins can be kind
They can be loyal
They can be chivalrous
That is what mother says
What mother says is law
Father sometimes lies
It's hard to see truth
When everyone wears a disguise
I recently met a girl. She is from gryffindor. I don't quite know how I feel about her yet. She has taken to calling me a nickname. She chose me when I asked for a mentor. I asked her why and she just said she didn't want anyone to make the same mistakes she had. Whenever I have questions she is there for me to ask. It is quite helpful. In any case I can see my communication with her continuing as she too is pureblood.
I have kept up my letters to mother and father. Mother says she is proud of me. Father is determined to not let his pride show. I of course still miss them dearly. It is however getting slightly easier with school work picking up. The gifts they send are also welcome. In my last correspondence they told me of a way into hogsmeade. I have yet to decide if I should risk the trip or not for a few chocolate frogs.
I have also been contemplating joining the dueling club. I believe I have gotten as far as I can with just research alone. Although, I'm not quite sure as they do carry quite a risk. Though I suppose that if I don't I will never be able to get any further.

When the tides turn fowl
When the sky is dark
When all present flee
I will be there
When you are sad
When you are lonely
When all despise you
I will be there
Friends do not abandon
Family should never leave
Through thick and thin
I will be there
School work seems to finally be in full swing. There isn't nearly as much as I thought there would be but it is still quite a lot. It seems very easy though. I've found that as long as you pay attention and participate in class it is not too difficult. However, there still seems to be many students struggling with homework.
My childhood friend was at the sorting this year. I didn't know what to say to them so I didn’t. I have sent a letter though and I do hope that it is returned soon. I lost all contact with them shortly after my parents banned me from seeing them. It wasn't like I could send them a letter either as I thought they were muggle.
I am entirely unsure how I feel about potions. When on your own it is quite lovely. Although, working around others who are more prone to disaster tend to be very hazardous. We have had several spilled partially brewed potions thus far. It is making me question why those who are more prone to mistakes are not sorted out and taught separately.
