Happy Birthday, Harry

I've been in disgrase. And I know its spelt disgrace, sorry.

Well, not really. I mean, nobody took away my journal or anything. Only I caused a scene at the party, Father said, so I had to be extra nice to him. Someone said something about my parents. I wasn't happy about it. But I don't want to write it in the journals. Anyway Father said it was actually true. But I was already hacked off because Ron wasn't invited.

It was a surprise party. If you weren't invited it wasn't my fault. Im sorry if you weren't.

Anyhow, I saw some things. Father didn't tell me about my present till today, the big present I mean, which was the private messages. He said he knows that we had loads of troubles with owls and things last year. So now they ironed some things out in the journals. And one of them is messages. Also he said that as I get older, I need privacy. He has privacy but I was not going to have any. So he said that it was time I was able to do private things. I'm not sure how private

In any case I will send my first private message tomorrow maybe. I am trying to decide what to write. And to who. It seems like it should be something good!

Private Message to Draco Malfoy

I already told Hermione.

She said, 'It's remarkable how good pure blood will out. Normally I'd say if there's something wrong with the bitch, there'll be something wrong with the pup. But Marvolo turned out very well indeed, despite his no-good parents.' Or something like that.

She called my mother a bitch.

Father said that she didn't say it right but that she was right. They were no good. He took care of me because he could see I was special and not like them. But I don't think that's true.

Anyway, I didnt think you heard it. But you should. She's nasty. I told Father I don't ever want to see her again.
