September 1 [Sometime after 11]
Samson Carswell is the most confusing person I've hever had a chance to meet. And I don't know if this is good or bad - he stands out, that's for sure. But he also gives me a crazy headache and makesme blush a lot and feel both incredible and stupid and silly and pretty much foolish. Also, he gives me goose bumps. I'm not sure. Good or bad? He makes me think much more than anyone else ever has and it's infuriating, you know? Merlin, he's got this fascinating aura to him. Like, he doesn't spek much, unless he's with that friend of his or being ticked off by someone, like that one girl from dinner. Most of the time, though, he seems quiet and withdrawn. Then, he's suddenly laughing and joking and being all playful with Mister Ryan. Ugh, I don't know if it's because he doesn't to talk or if he just doesn't want to talk to me or something.
Not that this should be bothering me.
Samson Carswell is a stupid boy. And there will be many, many better boys out there than him.
I wish he would notice me though. We will not write such foolish things, Issy. Mature, confident. There is no need of Samson Carswell in our lives.
Other than that, I've safely arrived at Hogwarts and, as highly anticipated, been sorted Ravenclaw. Daddy will be utterly proud when I tell him.
Sam is also a Ravenclaw. Already, I know many Ravenclaws - Mister Ryan, Samson, Juniper, this really rotten girl from the opening feast. Callie was sorted Slytherin and Aiden a Gryffindor. How sad. I hoped one, or both, really, would be Ravenclaws with me. However, as rotten as it is to say, I'm glad they're not in a House together. Callie... almost seems like... a control freak. Maybe it's very paranoid of me, but I just kind of feel like she doesn't want Aiden and I to be very close friends.
Sometimes, my friendship with her feels funny. Strange.
Of course, I've hardly known her very long. I may just be being very silly.
I cannot lie, though. Part of me really misses home. How strange it has been today, to not see Fredreich (he couldn't see me off at the train. It was terribly sad. Though, he did give me a sweet little note that I shall post in here) or Mattio or Mummy or Daddy. Already, I miss my bed and Gaia the pony and the stables and running amuck with Fredreich and Mattio. Somehow, I even miss the chaos of the kitchen while dinner is being prepared. This doesn't feel right. Just a small case of homesickness. Surely, it won't be long before I get used to Hogwarts.
I want to continue writing, but I feel so exhausted and the girls in the room are finally slowing their chatter. Hopefully they'll be asleep soon, so I can be, too. G'night.

[Posted: From Fredreich's letter] Dear Tellie;
I apologize for not being able to see you off at the train station, but you know I wouldn't have been able to get through the barrier anyway. I'm but a Muggle, after all. The house won't be the same without you around. I don't know how Mattio and I are going to manage, without our Queen and the Champion of Statues and the Best Chess player around. Playtime won't be the same and even though he won't admit it, I know Mattio will miss you. He's just still upset about not being able to go. Poor kid.
I just wanted to remind you, though, that you've been a great friend. You guys are an amazing family and I'm so overjoyed your parents took me in as they did. It's been a great fortunancy to meet you, Tellie, and while your'e at school, we'll do our best to manage without you. Just remember how amazing you are and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Anyone would be lucky to have you on their side. Don't forget that and never let anyone make you believe otherwise. You'll promise me that, right?
Good.
Keep in touch, Tellie. Just because you're making new friends doesn't mean you can forget about us.
Love,
Fredreich.

A few drops have smudged and blurred the ink of her own neat handwriting and the parchment lined with scrawling ink.

This is the journal of my SS RP charrie, Isabella Cortella. Naturally, everything read in here is unknown to anyone else. =] It's just a nice way to track her thoughts and convey what's going on in that little head of hers. Heehee. Plus, I'm somewhat obsessed with this character, so you can't honestly blame me, now can you? =P Anyway. Feedback is allowed and welcomed, encouraged, especially. :3 And if you wanna know any more, go ahead and ask. =] Teehee. Enjoy!
