Author's Notes: Yeah... I've been wanting to do one of these fics for a while now and this one came to me after looking up DracoxHermione icons. This fic starts off in year five.

Chapter One:

Dear Diary,

It was really nice of Mum to have gotten me this diary for the beginning of the school term. It makes me smile, knowing that she knows what I'm going through, having two guys as my best friends. I might be smart, but not even my grades could save me if I were to start talking to myself about all of the odd occurrences in my life. Plus, I can't write home everyday, and while mail is fast with Owls,Mum can't always respond right away. The use of telephones (Ron and "fellyphone" still makes me giggle...)is something I miss dearly here at Hogwarts... Maybe I should connect our fireplace to the Floo Network... I'll have to ask Ron about that sometime, maybe his dad can hook it up for me.

Speaking of Ron... that reminds me, something odd happened today. Sitting in Potions class, Draco actually answered a question correctly. I mean, it shouldn't seem too weird, Snape never picks on me in that class, but this question... It really made me think, but Draco had the answer like right a way. I mentioned it to Ron after class and he told me that Draco probably pays Snape for the answers before hand so he can look good, and Harry agreed! The statement kind of aggravated me. Ron can be such a scum bag sometimes, but then again, so can Draco, more so than Ron. So the weird part of today, wasn't when Draco answered a question before I had completely formulated my own answer, or when Ron had insulted him for it and Harry agreed, but when I got so mad at both of them for suggesting that he had done something so low as cheat.

I think I scared Ron... I got really mad, blew up, saying something along the lines of "Stop being such a prat, Ronald! How dare you accuse someone of cheating? Even if he's a Slytherin and their house is known for it! How can you judge like that?"

As I stormed off, I heard him mutter something along the lines of, "Do all girls start defending their best friends' mortal enemies when they PMS? I mean, she has to be PMSing... right? 'Cuz I mean, what else could it possibly be?"

I was gone before Harry gave an answer... and I can tell you, I'm not PMSing, so that's not the issue. But I honestly can't figure it out. I bet it's nothing...

Anyway, today in Ancient Ruins we learned about how the Egyptians built the Pyramids! It was astounding! I mean, to think that, in the past, Muggles and Wizards lived in peace with each other... well, to a certain degree. They could work together without completely freaking out on one another, that's how they made the Pyramids. It was mostly Wizard work, but the Muggles helped, too. They did the easier calculations. (I think it's so amazing how so many classes are linked to each other, I mean, they used Arithmancy. My favorite subject!!!)

Also mentioned in History of Magic, during the Medieval era, the Wizards were known protectors of the Muggles. In Britain, back home, they fought side by side to protect each other. Why can't life be like that now? Why can't we get along? Prof. Binns refused to get off topic, so I've made it a top priority to ask Professor Burbage tomorrow. But I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the fact that We Wizards can't get along. I mean, it's highly unlikely that a country can defend another, when it can't even defend itself.

Ahh!!! The way the world works, really gets to me. All I want to do is find away for everyone to live in peace! And it should start with the way Wizards respect themselves, others, Muggles and House Elves. I'm starting with House Elves. SPEW. I hope people will join, I really do... so far I still only have Harry and Ron... They just don't seem to get it. I just want to help... I just want to help, but I don't know how. The things that allude me...

Well, I've got a potion's essay to write yet, so I'd better go. I'll make sure to write again tomorrow.

With Love,

Hermione Jean Granger
