Chapter 1: My Diary Hi! You have discovered my diary. I will tell you how I revealed all of the secrets in my 1st year in Hogwarts Harry revealed before he revealed them. By the way, Harry, Ron and Hermione were all 2nd years at Hogwarts.
Chapter 2: The Letter My name is Christina. I was born from two wizard/ witches. One day, I got an owl (wizard/ witch way of mailing) and I flopped down on my bed. I tore open the letter and started to read:
Christina, You have been invited to Hogwarts School of Wizarding and Witchcraft. Here’s a list of what you will need. I unfolded another piece of paper and read: FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO BRING: Clothing

First year rule: Students cannot bring their own broomsticks
Chapter 3: Getting my Stuff First, we picked up all the things we needed, then for a congratulations from my parents, they let me buy any pet I wanted. So, I chose a white tiny puppy that kept on shrinking and growing (the puppy on each page) and it was also talking. I named it Fluffy.
Chapter 4: Getting to Hogwarts We took a plane to London and took a taxi to the train station. Dad put a memory spell on the taxi driver before we left so that he wouldn’t call the police on a shrinking talking dog. Then, Mom showed me how to go into platform 9 and 3 quarters. I took Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts. It was huge.
Chapter 5: Life at Hogwarts While I was at Hogwarts, I found out that I was good at Quiditch and casting spells. I wasn’t very good at Defence Against Dark Arts.
Chapter 6: My Secrets So, you may be wondering how I figured out everything. I read books. I was considered the 2nd genius. We all know who the genius is (Hermione). Also, I have a shrinking, talking dog. My dog knew that it was Myrtle who died and was the ghost in the bathroom. So, he told me. Then, I read a bunch of books. I’m a very fast reader. That’s how I found out it was a Basalin (a snake that kills you if you look in its eyes). So, I watched out for strange noises. I owe it to my dog. I stayed away from the bathroom.
Chapter 7: Getting Home We flew back to Texas, took a taxi to my neighborhood, put another memory spell on the taxi driver, and walked into our house. I looked around at my family and home. I was glad to be home, but missed my adventures at Hogwarts with my friends.
