Today, a man who calls himself my father has shown up at our summer house. Mother confirms that he truly is Alistair Thorne. He brought me a locket that looks to be solid gold, a telescope much more powerful than my own, and this journal. All the gifts are so different from one another, I can't help but think he simply cast his net wide hoping to get me something I would like. I suppose that's smart, though he really should have brought me a fast new broomstick if he wanted to win my affections. Anyway, he seemed to be very interested in everything about me. He spent some hours speaking to Mother, then interviewed me. I say 'interviewed' because all he did was ask questions - about my studies, hobbies, interests, friends, skills, hopes, and dreams. It felt as if I was applying for a job rather than reconnecting with a parent.
Tomorrow, I will make sure to be the one asking questions.

There's so much I need to put down, it's hard to choose where to begin...
I'm going to live in the United Kingdom! Alistair Father has told me everything. He wants me to be his heir. I dreamed of this so many times, and now it's coming true! He says his son has gone missing years ago. I never even knew I had an older brother until now. Or, I guess, I don't - he's believed to be dead. Should I mourn him? That seems silly, I never even met him. It's a vile thought, but I'm actually happy that he disappeared. Otherwise, Father would not have come to legitimize me as his daughter. The woman who mothered this boy (although he's an adult now, if he's alive) has died recently without conceiving any more children. This means I'm the only chance the Thorne line currently has at surviving. I suppose that means my future husband would have to agree to take my family name? But that doesn't matter now. We're leaving next week. I was given time to pack my belongings and to send owls to my friends saying farewell; I'm going to meet Leena and Mikko today, they're the only ones who live close enough for me to hug them goodbye. I'm so excited! I'll be transferring to Hogwarts. Father says I'll likely be sorted to Slytherin, whatever that means. Can't wait to see my new home!
P.S. I will also have to change my name. From now on, I'm not Maia Maeve Mustajärvi, but Maeve Thorne!

The Thorne Manor is huge, much bigger than any of our houses back in Finland. I have a large room with vintage furniture. There's a house elf serving the family, but other than that it's just me and Father living here. And the portrait of his deceased wife, which seems to utterly despise me. It will be so empty once I leave for Hogwarts. Speaking of - today I found out they don't even have Dark Arts classes. What a disappointment. They only have a defense class. Well, there's also a Dark Arts Theory, but only for older students. That bothers me, though not so much that I would regret transferring. Father says he could hire me a tutor for the next summer, to continue my studies of the subject, but only if I do well at school this year. Which I most certainly will.

I did get a broomstick after all! A Firebolt Falcon, not new (belonged to my brother before) but barely used. Much faster than anything I've ever flown on.

Father and I went to Hogwarts so I could have a tour and be sorted. It turns out the Sorting Hat is missing and an enchanted scarf is being used as a replacement. I could tell from his expression that my father did not appreciate the loss of an ancient artefact. Nor did he like the Muggleborn headmistress, although he remained courteous towards her during the whole visit. He was right about my future house - I'm a Slytherin now. I will need to sign up for their Quidditch team first thing once the term starts. The castle is massive, although the grounds aren't as vast as back at Durmstrang. My expectations for the upcoming year aren't high. A school that accepts non-human beings, halfbreeds and Muggleborns (and even elevates them to the highest academic positions) cannot possibly do well at educating students. Still, I signed up for nearly all available subjects - except Muggle Studies.

We visited Diagon Alley for school shopping. The place was bustling with people and appeared to be poorly organized. I suppose that can only be expected in a dense-population country.
Too many Muggleborns in Slytherin house. I think the Sorting Scarf is enchanted poorly, perhaps omitting Salazar's preference to only teach those of noble blood. There is far too much focus on the non-magical world in the curriculum. The lack of Dark Arts lessons still bugs me. No duelling either, except for a club. I will lose my skills if I don't do something about it.

Some Muggleborns are tolerable, some are complete idiots that shouldn't be allowed into a school. Fowell keeps disrupting classes with moronic inquiries. I nearly lost my temper a few times. Whoever said that there is no such thing as a stupid question should hear some of Fowell's and amend that statement.

Home for Christmas. Father is impressed with my academic performance so far. I didn't mention how much of a strain it puts on me to study this hard, though. I just want him to be proud.

The strangest thing happened when studying in the library with Reino. He proposed marriage to me. Sort of. The way he phrased it, the proposal is only valid if we succeed in preparing and presenting the DADA project we are working on. I wonder what Father would think of Reino as a potential match. He is half-Finnish just like me, a pureblood, his grades are good. He's not that great at Quidditch - far too gentle - but it's not Father who would care about that particular aspect, only me. The mild temper he shows is actually quite appealing, we probably wouldn't argue much and I would likely be able to bend him to my will whenever needed. Let's see how this goes.

Exam preparations and Quidditch practice take all of my time. I'm considering dropping some subjects before next term - taking over a dozen O.W.L.s next year is likely to drive me insane. We won the Quidditch match against Hufflepuff 160:0, championship game against Ravenclaw is scheduled for next month.
June 22, 2023
We won the Quidditch Championship! And I aced all my exams. My final grades are all Os except for Divination, which is an E. Perhaps I should drop it - it's not like I succeed in truly seeing anything in crystal balls or tea leaves. Most of the time I just used my imagination. Arithmancy, although much more difficult, seems far more reliable in predicting the future.
