<em>Hello, this is Harry Potter. The date is 5/12/1999.</em>
<em>After the discovery of Tom Riddle's diary, I decided I ought to do some writing myself. For all I know Lucius Malfoy will have me murdered by tomorrow for giving that bloody sock to Dobby. I don't deserve it, Dobby tried to have me killed twenty times this year. At least. But I'm finished with this whole saving the world scam. Voldemort is gone. I need to focus on my education... Or at least that's what Hermione says.</em>
<em>I've finished exams and am supposed to be packing, but I bought this in Hogsmeade and figured I ought to make my first entry. I'll be stuck going back to the Dursley's for the summer, and I'm not thrilled but at least I'll still have a wand to wave and a school to look forward to returning to. I thought for sure that I'd be expelled after the flying car. </em>
<em>Well, Hermione and Ron are having a row again, I ought to go sort them out... til tomorrow then,</em>
<h2><em>Harry Potter</em></h2>

I do not have fun when I am sent on errands. Errands are busy-work and I am already an extremely busy person! When I go on an errand, I get in there and I get it done. I try to complete my objective as fast as possible.
