Mallyn Smyth received her invitation to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on July 1st, 1989, along with a new pair of jeans and diamond studs, the latter two from her Muggle grandmother. Since receiving the letter and accepting the truth of what she is, she has been dreading attending a school where she knows no one and that she knows next to nothing about, despite her mother stemming from the Noble House of Black and the equally revered Burke family tree. She quickly finds out that almost everyone else seems to know more and refuses to let her in on the big secret. The only thing that seems to put her at ease comes in the form of redheaded twins and her notebook, which is not a diary, but a notebook that she just happens to write about her days and feelings in. Story will follow from September 1, 1989 to the Battle of Hogwarts as well as the aftermath as the Wizarding World fights to be the great community they once claimed to be, this time intent on making the words true.
