If Sophia's journal were ever to be found and opened her whole life could be thrown upside down.
Because of this Sophia's journal is not typically seen lying around.
She guards it very closely, taking care to keep it mostly hidden.
In the event that it is found she has put protective charms on it.
One of those protective charms changes what appears to be written in the journal.
The "fake" entries are what those who read without permission would see.
Only a privileged few are allowed to read Sophia's actual journal. Are you one of them?

| QUOTE (Fake) |
| Father has finally become so fed up with Shane and his foolish ways that Shane has been banished from the family. Being only a Seventh Year it is questionable as to where Shane will go, but I do not care to know. He was a disgrace and Father was right to do what he did. Shane was probably the worst older brother I could have gotten. A Gryffindor Blood Traitor who runs his mouth about his family in the worst possible way. The one question that does matter now is who is the Stark heir? |
| QUOTE (Real) |
| This is my first disguised entry. Father has gone entirely too far this time. Unfortunately I cannot be vocal about my thoughts, as I can see where it got Shane. Part of the reason Father did this was to set an example for me, to show me what will happen if I do not follow down the path he has laid for me. So what am I supposed to do? I do not agree with Father and his ways, but I also do not want to be cast onto the streets as Shane has been. Mother seems fairly torn about the situation. She seems all right with it, but I fear it is a front so as not to upset Father. What a terrible situation. What happened in Father's life that made him so horrid? In any case, knowing will not help. I need a plan of action, but I have none. I suppose for now I will simply lay low and continue as I have been. |

I would not believe it to be possible but it seems I have forgotten all about this journal. So much has happened since I last wrote I hardly feel like the same person anymore. Let me see if I can recall everything.
In September I began dating Vorian Atreides, despite the fact that I vowed not to date in school and despite Mina's hatred for him. I masked our real relationship with a lie that I was gathering information to help Mina destroy Vorian. He was so good to me though.
In December, on my sixteenth birthday, Alyssa Hemmingway made a prophecy. She said that my brother Shane would be murdered by my father. I normally do not put much stock in Divination, but Alyssa knew so little about my personal life there was no way she could have made that up. Not to mention it was one of the scariest experiences of my life. At first Shane would not heed my warnings, continuing to live his reckless life and worry me nearly to death. I am happy to say though that he finally listened to me and has a safe haven to go to and has started taking precautions to protect himself. He writes me every week to let me know how he is doing from the alias of Charles Nash.
Mina left school and my life became infinitely easier. Of course I still had to keep up the charade, but it was not nearly as hard without Mina or Bixle around.
One night while doing Prefect rounds - oh yes, I was made Prefect - I ran into Byron Biswensky in Classroom Eleven. The room...swallowed up, for lack of a better word. It was an intriguing experience, and showed him in a bit of a new light for me. Not that he will ever know that. We were both put under love spells and snogged a little, but I doubt anyone would believe him if he tried to say he kissed me while Vorian and I were dating. Sure he and Vorian kissed, but that meant nothing.
Just last week, after about nine months of a wonderful relationship Vorian and I broke up. I am still unsure as to what exactly happened or why things ended, but they did. I suppose it is for the best. Although things were quite comfortable with him there was something missing. There was no...fire, no passion. At least, not from where I was sitting.
Of course, I did not get much time to grieve over the end of that era. That very night while I was drinking some Firewhiskey Shane had sent me I was interrupted by Evan Demetrius. Despite his status as a blood traitor he and I have become quite good friends. We play Quidditch together and seem to understand each other very well. To make a long story short I lost my virginity to him, and I am still unsure how I feel about that. On the one hand it was so nice. He was surprisingly sweet and gentle and made me feel very safe and comfortable, but it was still quite passionate and more amazing than I ever could have imagined. it was everything a first time should be and more, aside from the fact that it was with a boy who prides himself in how many girls he has slept with. I cannot help but think that is not quite how things go with other girls though.
Just yesterday I ran into Evan again in the library. We had a rather intense snog session that I quite enjoyed. It actually made me want to be with him again, which is so absurd. Well, all right, not entirely absurd. I am allowed to have fun too. I just wish it was not so casual. I definitely prefer a commitment when something as serious as sex is involved. But even if I Evan wanted to - which I cannot help but doubt that he does - can he? He cheated on Gene, whom I thought he was quite smitten with. Who knows. All I know is that I am having fun for now, but things cannot stay like this.
And that brings us to today. I am no longer a Prefect as my term ended, but I am rather glad of that. Shane is still writing to me every Saturday like clockwork. I have retained my position as Keeper on the Slytherin Quidditch team, something of which I am quite proud. There is a party tonight that I think I will attend. Evan is likely to be there, and I think it would be good for him to see me with someone else. Perhaps it will spark some jealousy in him.
