Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Harry Potter, JK Rowling does.

Aside from that.... This is my first fan fic. I hope you enjoy it!

Dear Diary,

Hello, diary! My name is Harry Potter. I am 16 years old, and I go to Hogwarts School of Wtichcraft and Wizardry. IÕm in my 6th year there. ItÕs the best school in all England! Anyway...my two best friends are Ron and Hermione. Ginny, RonÕs younger sister, is also my friend. Another one of my friends is Hagrid. HeÕs the game keeper at Hogwarts.

TodayÕs my birthday. Hagrid gave me some cookies, but they were as hard as rocks, so I gave them to Dudley (heÕs my big fat cousin). He and my Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon are now in the hospital emergency room, because apparently, the cookies had fossilized egg yolk in them.

Ginny (sheÕs the girl I like) gave me some candy, Chocolate Frogs and Bertie BottÕs Every Flavor Beans. Ron gave me the same thing.

Hermione gave me you. She said that you would help me to express my feelings by writing in you. I think that sheÕs right, seeing as how IÕve had some pretty bad things happen to me in the past. My parents dead, seeing Voldemort come back, witnessing my godfather Sirius falling through the veil, and being posessed by Voldemort.

Looks like the DursleyÕs are back. Until next time!

Please read&review! also.. i need some ideas of what to put in harry's diary, so if you have any...
