Dear Diary,

I don't know why I'm keeping this stupid thing. Sirius sent it to me and Hermione, the genius that she is, decided that if I wasn't talking to Ron that I had to write in this 'diary'. Not the word 'had' that means this is against my will (well I kinda agreed but that's beside the point). Most people listen to Hermione because of her uberly vast knowledge of spells, but I listened because I saw her punch Malfoy last year. I mean holy crap, who knew Hermione had that in her? I guess you get strong from carrying giant abnormal books everywhere.

So what's basically happening is this Triwizard Tournament thing. It's a really big magic competition. 'Tri' meaning 3, yet this year there are 4 champions: Cedric (a Hufflepuff), Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, Viktor Krum from Durmstrang, and… me. Yeah, loads of fun, right? Wrong.

I didn't enter! I couldn't have! How could a fourth year (and not the brightest) manage to make the Cup believe that there were supposed to be 4 of us? I couldn't have! I'm too young! But nobody believes me, except Hermione, Mad-Eye Moody, and possibly Dumbledore. Not even Ron, he thinks I'm doing this for the fame and money. Sorry Ron, but I have more fame than I want and plenty of money!!! Am I really delusional enough to enter a competition that could kill me?!?!! No! I don't want to steal the spotlight from Cedric and I'm not 'swimming in the ghosts of my past' or whatever crap Rita Skeeter came up with.

This whole thing is so frustrating! It's not like I want this! But nobody believes me! Why won't people trust me?

It's Ron's betrayal that hurts the most. Now don't tell anybody this. Oh, who am I kidding? You're an inanimate object, you couldn't tell anyone even if you wanted to. But anyways, Ron's always been my friend. We sat together on the train as First Years and got along BEFORE he saw my scar. We've played Quidditch, found the Sorcerer's Stone, rescued Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets, found the truth about Sirius, survived a werewolf, and went to the Quidditch World Cup together. After doing all that, wouldn't you think he'd believe me and be on my side? Wrong. In fact, I bet him, Dean, and Seamus are talking about me right now.

Dudley scared away anyone who would've been my friend my whole life. When I came to Hogwarts I was really nervous, I didn't know anything. But Ron helped me and definitely became my first friend. Yeah that's right. Ron Weasley was the oh-so-great Harry Potter's first friend. He even helped me practice when I got on the House Team rather than do his homework.

And who listened to him complain about having 5 older brothers? Who listened to him talk about how he might've teased Ginny, but she was still his baby sister? Who put up with his fear of spiders? I did! I think his older brothers are fine, except for Percy. But I sided with him because he's my best friend. And I didn't tell him that maybe he shouldn't have teased Ginny, and I didn't tell him that he kept repeating himself. Why? Because I'm his best friend and he was really upset. And seriously, Spiders? They're not that scary, just step on them!! I don't get his fear at all, to me it's silly. But I don't tease him about it the way Fred and George do. I let him have his abnormal fear in peace. And why? Because he's my best friend and everybody's scared of something.

I just wish he'd believe me. Hermione's great, but there's this feeling I get on my broom that I don't get while studying in the library. Hermione's like my sister and all, but I miss Ron. Why won't he talk to me? Why won't he believe me? What did I do wrong?

I have to go now; Hermione wants to go to the library. I feel bad for her; she always goes by herself and then helps me and Ron when we need it. It must be lonely to spend all that time alone doing schoolwork. So even if I don't want to go, for now I will. And it's helping my grades, so I guess that's a good thing. And tonight I really need to get all my homework done because Sirius is coming to talk tonight. And before that I have to go see Hagrid. There's something in the Forbidden Forest he wants to show me. I'm kinda worried, last time I saw something of Hagrid's in the forest it was a giant man-eating spider. Thinking of that I almost see why Ron's scared of them. But whatever.

"I'm coming Hermione," Harry called as she waited by the portrait hole for him.

"How's your diary?" she asked innocently.

"Just like a normal empty book." He looked at her strangely.

"You mean there were no replies?" she asked, looking almost heartbroken.

"No," he said, looking at her strangely again.

"Are you sure?" she asked hopefully.

He ran up to his dorm and brought the diary back down with him. He opened it up and in bold saw words he hadn't written.

Yeah, she's amazing isn't she?

Well Rita Skeeter is crazy! Uhhhhh huh!

Hermione trusts you!

Look out a window smart one, they're hitting on fifth year girls and failing epically.

Awwwww, how cute. *imaginary eye roll*

You forgot about putting up with his crazed obsession with Viktor Krum.

What? What? What? Hermione's amazing!!!

What's wrong with raising your grade? And see, spiders are slightly creepy!

"What the heck?" Harry stared at the book in shock. Then he looked at Hermione's smiling face, "What'd you do?"

"I charmed it!"

Yeah, this was my 8th grade lit project hence no cussing...

Yeah, I'm going to continue it with a diary entry from Ron and one from Hermione...
