Prologue

Dear Diary,

I hate him. I hate him so much I could kill him. I hate every little thing about him. What he does, what he wears, how he acts. I hate him so much I never want to see him again. Ever. But then he is my best friend and I can't survive without him, and I love him so much it literally hurts. On days when I don't see him I feel like I'm dying but when he's there I just want to kill him. He is so gorgeous and I love every little thing about him and the more time I spend with him the more cute little things I notice, like how his nostrils flare when he concentrates, and I can't help but fall even deeper in love with him. It has gone waaaaay past obsession, and everything, absolutely everything, I do reminds me of him. Which just makes me hate him more.

I don't know what to do. I am not allowed to think of him like this, because it makes people hate me. I don't like it when people hate me. Albus says they'll get over it eventually, but I know they won't. When a friend starts drooling after your ex-boyfriend, that's not the type of thing easily forgiven. Or forgotten. The problem is that he has so many ex-girlfriends, and so many of them are – were – my friends. I should be a better friend. Side with them. But I can't. He won't let me. It's not like he's doing it on purpose, but every time I think I'm over him, he breaks up with his girlfriend, and then I am suddenly obsessed again, because there's no barrier saying I can't be. It would be easier if he could keep a girlfriend, but he can't. I've noticed a pattern. He falls madly in love for the first month or two, then it's almost like he gets bored with her and just flicks her off. I know if he chose me it would only end the same, but I can't help thinking that I may be the one exception. After all, we are best friends.

But then there's the issue of his father. Mr Malfoy is all for a pureblood society, and even though I am half blood, I am a Weasly, and there seems to be something wrong with that in the eyes of his family, somehow. Scorpious doesn't care most times. We have been friends ever since I was placed in Slytherin. I am glad I chose to be there, so Albus wouldn't have to be alone. Mr Malfoy seems to tolerate Albus and I, only just, but I don't want to endanger that by becoming something more than a friend to Scorpious. As far as Draco knows, I am just a girl from his son's class who his son writes to occasionally. And that's fine with me. Draco scares me.

I should probably stop writing now, and get my essay done. Who really cares about the properties of moonstone, anyway? And how can I concentrate when Scorpious is in the room? Answer? I can't. But I had better try.

Love Rose.

Dear Rose,

I am sorry to hear this. He seems like quite a charming young man. Yes, you had better get your work done. Remember, if there is anything else you need to talk about, I am always here.

Love, Tom.

Review please :)
