It is not spelled to be secret, but is secured with only a simple lock. However, it does record the name of everyone who reads it...which her former maid now knows to her detriment.

Lady is a wonder

It feels right that I should begin a new diary now that I have a new name, a new life, someone's wife. That still feels so strange. I am Mrs. Roman Crouch, Benevolence Crouch, wife of the junior undersecretary for the minister for magic - whoever would have thought that mousy little me would have ended up in so auspicious a marriage - and better yet to a man I actually love. I know my parents would approve of Roman, he is everything that a lady looks for her in her companion in this life.

What is more - he is sweet, caring, funny and he makes me so very very happy. And Melody is now my sister! I have not had much to do yet with Helga or Miss Malfoy yet, but I am sure I shall love them as sisters once I get to know them properly.
