Dear diary,
Ugh! This week, was such a blow. Dad got sent to jail, again because he sunk the Muleman’s casino boat. They’re letting us see him, but mom says I’m not like old enough or something. Whatever though, I don’t care. That man needs like serious professional from like, the MIB or something. Do you know what he asked Noah, his son, my brother, a part of the family to do?? He wants him to help get the Muleman’s really bad. So he goes for his son’s help. Traitor. He’s gone ballistic ever since he noticed that the ever since the Coral Queen, Dusty Muleman’s casino boat, had been in the bay, there have been large amounts of bacteria on Thunder Bay. Which leads him to think that stupid Dusty is duping his human let-outs into our harbor which leads to Thunder Bay, where all the kids play, and sea turtles lay their eggs, and Dusty can get away with that? And with waste in Thunder Bay, it, of course makes it dangerous for everybody who gets in the water there. Mom was so fed up, she packed up her suit case, as if she was going to leave. What scared Noah and I even more, was that it wasn’t her vacation suit case, it was the big plaid one. But it is thankfully packed away now, so we don’t have to worry. Ugh, I hope next week is better diary. Sorry I could only write on today, as you heard though, I was pretty busy myself. I promise I’ll write more next week.

To get to London to buy all of the things on the list, they had to visit The Leaky Cauldron. A sort of bar for witches and wizards. When they entered, everybody was shaking his hand. Then they entered an alley and Hagrid gave a tap on a brick wall and the wall parted, showing Diagon Alley. They succsefully purchase everything on the list and Harry returns with the Dursley's until September the first, where he journeys to platform nine and three quarters. What happens next is what i don't know.

Harry Potter

I didn't have as much time to read this week because of exhibition. I was practicing a lot, but what i did read was great.

Harry and the Dursleys moved into a shack which reminded me of when i went in on The Star Of India because they traveled across the rough seas. Also because when Hagrid pounded on the door, it reminded me of when the captain banged on our cabin doors.

Hagrid gives Harry a squished cake for his 11th birthday, which reminded me that my cake was squished for my 9th birthday.

When Hagrid started the fire with his umbrella, it reminded me of when i went to see the play Cinderella when i was three and the fairy godmother started the fire with her wand.

Before the Dursleys moved, they gave Dudley's second room to Harry. This reminded me of when i got to move out of the room with my two brothers.

I hope i can read more next week.
