Dear Diary,
Do you recall all my talk of Ravenclaw just the other day? I cannot believe what a fool I am, to have talked about all the awful, inhuman creatures that have wormed their way into that house, and to have forgotten the worst creature of all! Miss Borgin - I mean - Beastly Borgin, her name ought to be, for she is the most beastly girl I know! We have always gotten on... politely enough, I suppose... but I had the misfortune of sitting at the table by her in the library today, and I suppose she thought I was cheating off her Transfiguration essay - and I wasn't, I was only double-checking my answers and besides her handwriting is dreadful so... and, well, if I knocked my inkpot over and ruined her work - accidentally - that was her fault to begin with, for giving me a fright about it! Anyway, she gave me the filthiest glare and I swear she muttered something perfectly abusive about me; and then I tripped up near the library doors as I was leaving - I am quite positive she jinxed me. I expect she'll be after me with whatever ghastly things she and her family sell, next. If I am cursed to die drenched in ink from head to toe, I shall know why.
Forget halfbreeds, Hogwarts should ban pupils by address. Why should I, or anyone, want to be friends with anyone who skulks around Knockturn Alley like an oversized rat?
Love, Jemima
