Chapter 1
August 31st 1971
Dear Diary,
My name is Willow. I think you should know that I am what the humans call a tree. I think that means that I am brown with leaves & bark. I don’t mind what they call me. I just need to protect my shack.
I think it’s important you know that I am at a place called Hogwarts, which is a magic school. An old man called Albus Dumbledore told me that I had to guard a shack (which is like a house) from anyone who goes near it. The only way someone is allowed in is if they poke part of my roots with a wand (wands are like sticks for magic people but they use them to cast spells).
So this is my diary. This is where you, or anyone for that matter can read about all the funny things that happen at Hogwarts -not that anything has happened yet. But it will. I’m sure.
Love Willow.
