"This is my first entry. After the Black Book I've decided I would never write down things that were crossing my mind, neither things I was doing, but I've changed my mind. My name is Chase Armitage and this is my diary."

-"Four of march, 2008.

The Magician? Yep, that was the card I draw from a card game named Tarot. It's a muggle card game, they say it allow some people to preddict the future. Never heard about anything like that but it's interesting to study.

As I first draw a card I got The Magician, which made me wonder: It remembers me power, knowledge, hogwarts... Several words comes out as a brain-storm but I can't find out what exactly does it means. Analyzing the picture I see some very wise and inteligent man, unexpressive, with a golden chalice hanging at his neck, a wand and a blade, at his right and left hand respectivilly.

I belive he's a very powerfull man and somehow I belive I -AM-, or I'm -GOING TO BE-, that man someday. Destiny or coincidence, I don't know. The only thing I'm ceartain is that I've drawned that card for a reason, and I have a feeling that soon I'm gonna find out why.

Now I need to get back to practice. Professor Snape told me my NEWT's project is good. I must be an expert on the Depression Hexing before I may finish it. I think I'll get more of his attention now, looks like he finally sees me as a good student, and that, my diary, is not bad. Not bad at all."

"I went to visit my mother's grave. It was the first time I did that in my entire life. Dunno if I didn't do it before because I was afraid, or because I was mad.

I saw her epitath 'Beloved Mother...' and the rest I don't remember, I didn't read it. Just aparated back to hogsmeade trying to forget all that pain and bad feelings that were consuming my soul.

Some girl named Franziska, a firstie, remembered her a lot. The same look, like that picture. Something about her made me care for her.

I can't write anymore. I feel the tears falling from my eyes. Sorry, I can't."
