Made a mistake yesterday and showed Livia what I'd been working on, but she reacted very badly negatively, though at least I know she won't tell anyone, but with the suggested implicit promise I won't do it again. I can't do that, and maybe--probably--that isn't very Hufflepuff off of me, but there is something...bewitching about watching nobility mobility, for I couldn't care less about what they're doing and couldn't care more about how much is open to them, the places they can go, every nook and cranny and dirty alley-way. Maybe I should have been in Ravenclaw, after all, so it would have made more sense?

Nevertheless, Regardless, I know now I cannot tell anyone of what I am doing, though legal action has no basis as far as I have researched, for if my dear older sister reacted that way...well. Hopefully she forgets of it, or otherwise doesn't perceive suspect a thing, or, at the very least, doesn't remember the secret storage room in Father's old study, now mine. I must move all charmwork and enchantments there, I think, and cast or recast the necessary charms (anti-apparition, anti-theft, concealment (cave inimicum?), imperturbable, maybe caterwauling? and always cast deletrius after homoculous) surrounding it.

I went to Hogwarts for the first time and it was really great amazing fantastic, at least in the great Hall. Because my last name is Yxeley Yaxley I was one of the last people and the Sorting Hat took a little while to place me somewhere in a hoose because it said something about me being good at my passions but also solid or something, but I have no passions yet. So it placed me in Hufflepuff. I hear that people don't like respect Hufflepuffs because they're 'boring', but Livia is in Hufflepuff, and she's not boring, so I think I'll be fine.
