Chapter 1- prologue.
February 14th
Dear Diary,
This week has been so crazy!
Isobel has just had her sixteenth birthday. I swear, if I didn't already know how old she was, I would think she was turning of age this year with all the celebrations we've had.
I hate to think what next year is going to be like. Blaise and I surely didn't have parties like this when we turned of age nor when I returned. Sometimes I hate being a twin, always having to share everything. That's right, I said it. I hate being a twin.
I don't hate having a brother, of course, just the obligatory having to share everything part. And the connection between us can get really annoying… and disturbing at times. Especially when he's "being intimate" with Kira.
I really don't need to know what my brother and my best friend do in their private time and I am sure he doesn't want to know what his little sister and best friend do together either. But I can't spend all of my waking hours worrying about the telepathic twin connection my brother and I share. Sometimes I can't help but let my guard down. Especially when Draco does that thing with his tongue, I… well, I just can't help but lose it.
That connection has gotten me in a lot of trouble at times and has caused more than a few arguments between my very over-protective brother and one terrified Draco Malfoy at least he had the decency not to tell mum and dad, although, if he had told them I would have had plenty of stories about him to tell our parents.
That's my venting for today! Well, for now, at least. Unless Blaise decides to wind me up, which he probably will. It is his favourite thing to do, after flying, that is.
If someone had told me three years ago that I would actually be getting along with Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin Sex God, and Blaise Zabini, I would probably have hexed them so badly that they would have had to spend at least a week in St Mungo's. But now, I couldn't imagine life without them.
Anyways, today is Valentine's Day and I think today is the day Draco is finally going to ask me. He and Blaise have been acting strange for the past few days and I think they have something planned for tonight. All they will say is that we're going out to dinner. Kira and I have no idea where we're going exactly or what they're up to but they are Slytherins after all. They have to be plotting something, right?
I'll let you know how things turn out tonight but I've got to run! Blaise is calling me which means he's either ready to go or he's lost Kira's present yet again.
Love Hermione Zabini.
