A/N: Writing again. This story's been in my head for days now. I had to post it. Anyway, hope you like it! Inspired by: Charmed by lil_irish_girl (is that how you spell it?) on portkey. She's my favorite author there. Totally recommending her to all H/Hr shippers!

Chapter One: How It Began

"Ginny! You have to see this!" Hermione said, excitedly to her best girl friend in the library. She was out of breath from running and in her hands was a black book.

She, Harry and Ron were already in their seventh year. Now that Voldemort was gone, everything was much more peaceful. She and Ron had broken things up after they came back to school. Things weren't going so well and being friends was all their relationship should've been.

"Hey 'Mione, what's that?" Ginny asked, looking up from her Potions book.

"It's a diary. A charmed one, that is." She explained, controlling her breathing now.

" A charmed diary, eh? What does it do?" Ginny asked.

"No, no, no. It's one of two diaries. Both are charmed. I found one. The other is, well, with someone else, whom I do not know of." Hermione explained.

"Okay. Good for you?" Ginny asked, looking back at her Potions book.

"Wait. Look at this," Hermione said, excitedly. She opened to a page in the middle of the book. The pages were yellowish because of its age. The pages were clean. There were no writing on any page and there were no lines to help the writer write straight. It was just a blank, plain diary.

"What? There's nothing—" Ginny began. But she stopped just as she peered closer. On the top left corner of the right page, it was written, "Insert name here: _______________________"

"What?" Ginny asked, confused.

"I'm supposed to write my name here, Gin. Just help me a bit, will you? I don't think I should write my real name." Hermione replied.

"You mean like a penname?"

Hermione shrugged. "I guess. What should it be?"

Ginny tapped her index finger on her chin for a while.

"Oh, I know!" She exclaimed.

"Girls!" Madame Pince said, behind her desk. "This is a library!"

"Sorry." They said in unison. They faced each other again.

"Okay, you were saying?" Hermione asked.

Ginny smirked. "MuggleBorn0919."

"Sure?" The tip of Hermione's quill was over the space already.

"Definitely. There are plenty of Muggle born's here in Hogwarts. And I'm sure there are, at least, two students who are born on September nineteen."

Hermione wrote the name down quickly, eager to see what would happen. After she finished, the whole thing disappeared. Hermione flipped through the remaining pages behind her page to find nothing,

She decided to go back to her page and found something written on the top.

"Start conversation here." Hermione read out loud.

"What does it mean?" Ginny asked.

Before Hermione could reply, the sentence disappeared and after a few spaces, it said, "MuggleBorn0919:"

"Write something, 'Mione." Ginny urged. Hermione picked her quill up again and dipped it in the inkwell.

Hermione scribbled something. "That's it?" Ginny asked.

Hermione smiled. "Always start out with simple things, Gin."

MuggleBorn0919: Hello?

*~*~*~*

In the Gryffindor Common Room, Harry was lying on the couch, absentmindedly twirling his wand around with his fingers while looking at the ceiling.

Ron was on an armchair, his Transfiguration book open in front of him. He was biting his thumb, nervous of what to write on his essay.

There was a comfortable silence in the air around them. That is, until a black diary on the table flew open to a page.

"Bloody hell! What was that?" Ron yelled.

Harry swung his legs off the couch and sat up. The black diary was his. He had found it in the library two weeks ago. He had already written his penname in. As a result, the sentence, "Please wait for the other writer to write his/her name." appeared. It's been too long for the likes of Harry.

"Relax, Ron. It was just the diary I found in the library. A charmed one, in fact." Harry explained, getting the diary and looking at the blank, yellowing pages. Except something was different. There was another penname there with a message.

"A diary? Since when did you have a diary?" He asked, sitting beside Harry to see this "diary". A sudden thought flashed through Ron's head. "You're not—"

"No, Ron, I am not turning gay on you." Harry interrupted, chuckling a bit.

He and Ron looked at the message on the page, eager to see what it was saying.

"MuggleBorn0919? What the hell?" Ron asked, clearly confused.

"It's a penname, Ron." Harry explained.

"Oh." He said. "Who is it?"

"Don't know. I'll reply."

Under MuggleBorn0919's entry, it said, "JP2:"

"JP2? Is that you? Why 'JP2'?" Ron asked.

"Well, technically, I'm the second James Potter in Hogwarts." Harry replied, smartly.

"Ah. I get it." Ron said, as if all the mysteries of the world had been revealed.

"Yes, you do, Ron. Very good." Harry said, amused at his tone. Harry leaned forward and scribbled something down. After he finished, he leaned back. "Let's see if I can figure out who you are, MuggleBorn0919."

MuggleBorn0919: Hello?

JP2: Finally! I've been waiting for you since forever!

*~*~*~*

"He replied!" Hermione whispered to Ginny, excitedly in the library.

"What'd he say? What'd he say?" She asked, just as excited.

They looked at the message and read it together.

"Aw!" Ginny exclaimed, suddenly.

"What?" Hermione asked, confused with her friend's reaction.

"He said he's been waiting for you. That's cute."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. He probably just found the diary ahead of me. Now, back to the matter at hand, what should I say?"

"Um, I don't know. Just say whatever comes into your head, I guess."

Hermione looked thoughtful for a while.

"Oh! I know!"

Ginny eyed her curiously as she bent down to write.

When she leaned back, Ginny looked at the message. "Must you be so cocky? You've just met him."

MuggleBorn0919: Hello?

JP2: Finally! I've been waiting for you since forever!

MuggleBorn0919: Thank you for waiting. Now, should we start introductions or do you want to continue babbling about how long you've been waiting? :)

*~*~*~*

"Hey, she replied." Harry said, looking at the open diary on his lap.

"Well, of course. What'd she say?" Ron said, bending over to look.

They read the message in silence.

"That, I did not expect." Ron said, breaking the silence around them.

"She's that type of person." Harry observed, as if he knew everything.

He bent down and scribbled something with his quill. After he leaned back, Ron looked at what he wrote.

"You two should just get married and quit the little comments."

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind."

MuggleBorn0919: Hello?

JP2: Finally! I've been waiting for you since forever!

MuggleBorn0919: Thank you for waiting. Now, should we start introductions or do you want to continue babbling about how long you've been waiting?

JP2: Well then, Ms. Smart Aleck, why didn't you ask before? You know what? Don't answer that. Just ask away. ; -)

*~*~*~*

"He's replied." Hermione informed Ginny. Ginny turned to Hermione and looked at what he said.

Ginny's eyes widened at his comment. "Oh my God! He winked at you!" She yelled.

Madame Pince stood up from behind her desk. "We'll go, we'll go." Hermione said, before she could scream at them.

"Come on, Gin. Let's go to our dormitory that way you can scream all you want." She said, smiling at Ginny. She placed the diary in her carpetbag and stood up. Ginny grinned at her and packed her things as well.

Once they entered the Common Room, Harry and Ron were on the couch, arguing about something.

"Hello Harry, hello Ron." Hermione greeted, walking by them.

"Hey 'Mione," They greeted back at the same time.

"She isn't replying, Ron. Is that saying something?" Harry asked, panicked a bit.

"'Course not. She's probably in the loo or something." Ron replied, not fazed by Harry's actions.

Hermione laughed at them and then she and Ginny ran up the stairs.

Once they were inside, Hermione locked the door and leaned back on it. She released a sigh of relief. "Safe," She breathed.

"Oh dear, the room's so messy!" Hermione exclaimed, looking around at the empty, messed up beds and the clothes thrown around.

She stood up and saw Ginny seated cross-legged on Hermione's bed, arms folded across her chest. She had an expectant look on her face.

"Well? Did he say anything?" She asked, impatiently.

Hermione just laughed.

*~*~*~*

"Do I ask if she's there?" Harry asked, worried that it had already been eight minutes and she still hadn't replied. The girls had just run upstairs.

"No, you could seem to expectant or needy." Ron replied sounding as if he knew everything there was to it.

"We just met. She won't think that." Harry argued.

"Of course. Besides, how do you know if 'she' is a girl? What if 'she' turns out to be a boy? Then you've been flirting with a boy all this time."

"Wha—I wasn't flirting! I'm just assuming anyway, I wouldn't mind if it were a boy. That's perfectly fine with me."

"Uh-huh." Ron smirked. He received a glare from Harry. Then Harry looked at the open diary in front of him. They were both silent for a while. After a minute, Harry leaned forward and picked his quill up and began writing.

"Maybe I should just check in a bit…"

Ron just laughed.

*~*~*~*

"You done yet?" Ginny asked as Hermione finished tucking in the last bed in their dormitory. She was lying on Hermione's bed, feet still hanging off the bed and her bright red hair was spread out everywhere.

"Almost." She replied, flattening the covers. She straightened her position. "Done. Let's go."

She sat a foot across Ginny. "Finally," Ginny muttered. She shot back up and fixed her messy hair.

Hermione pulled the diary out of her carpetbag and lay in between them carefully. "I'll get my quill." She announced, bending over the side of her bed. Suddenly, the diary flew open to a page with a message on it.

"Whoa. What just happened?" Ginny asked, shocked. Hermione was still rummaging through her bag for her quill and inkwell.

She pulled them out and set them on her bed. She looked at the diary. "A message." She informed her friend.

"So it opens by itself when you get a message?" Ginny asked.

Hermione shrugged. "I guess. Now, let's see what he said." She replied.

JP2: Hey, you still there?

"Aw, he's checking up on you!" Ginny gushed. Hermione smiled and shook her head.

"Hey, how do you know 'he' is really a he?" Hermione asked, curiously.

"Just assuming. He said you could go ask, so go ask." Ginny replied.

Hermione nodded and leaned down to write. "There," She said, leaning back once more.

Ginny read what she said. "Way to ask the straightforward way." She smirked.

JP2: Hey, you still there?

MuggleBorn0919: Yeah, I'm still here. Ask away, right? First question: Are you male or female?

*~*~*~*

"She finally replied." Ron said, looking into the open diary in front of them.

"Really?" Harry asked, looking up from the Transfiguration book he was reading. Ron had forced him to do it for him since he wouldn't call Hermione. Harry said he'd agree if Ron would watch the diary. After all, which is more boring: watching a diary or reading a book?

They both read the message.

"Hey!" Ron said, suddenly. "You should lie and say you're gay!"

"No thanks, Ron." Harry replied, writing something down.

Ron looked at what he wrote. "Ah, asking her—I mean, him as well."

Harry chucked a pillow at Ron. "It is so a girl."

JP2: Hey, you still there?

MuggleBorn0919: Yeah, I'm still here. Ask away, right? First question: Are you male or female?

JP2: Definitely male. You?

*~*~*~*

"He's a male, Gin! Thank God!" Hermione exclaimed, after she read the message.

"That's good. Are you going to reply to his question?" She asked.

"I don't know. Should I?" Hermione asked in reply, quite unsure.

"If I were you, I wouldn't. Keep yourself a mystery first. Let him do the answering and you do the asking."

Hermione nodded and bent down to write. "Okay then."

JP2: Hey, you still there?

MuggleBorn0919: Yeah, I'm still here. Ask away, right? First question: Are you male or female?

JP2: Definitely male. You?

MuggleBorn0919: Sorry to disappoint. But I'm asking the questions here. You can ask after I'm satisfied. :)

*~*~*~*

"After she's satisfied? What the hell?" Ron exclaimed after he read the message.

"Might as well do as the lady wishes." Harry said, writing something down in reply.

"What?" Ron asked, skeptically. "Don't do that! Do not give her the satisfaction of winning!"

"S'alright. I have to be the perfect gentleman, remember?" Harry reminded him.

Ron frowned and leaned back with a "humph."

JP2: Hey, you still there?

MuggleBorn0919: Yeah, I'm still here. Ask away, right? First question: Are you male or female?

JP2: Definitely male. You?

MuggleBorn0919: Sorry to disappoint. But I'm asking the questions here. You can ask after I'm satisfied. :)

JP2: Of course, milady. Now, your second question?

*~*~*~*

"I don't like how he's acting, 'Mione." Ginny said, after reading the message.

"What's wrong with it? He's being the perfect gentleman." Hermione parried.

"It's so weird. Don't fall head-over-heels for him just yet," Ginny advised.

Hermione blushed. "I know that, Gin." Then she bent down to write her reply.

JP2: Hey, you still there?

MuggleBorn0919: Yeah, I'm still here. Ask away, right? First question: Are you male or female?

JP2: Definitely male. You?

MuggleBorn0919: Sorry to disappoint. But I'm asking the questions here. You can ask after I'm satisfied. :)

JP2: Of course, milady. Now, your second question?

MuggleBorn0919: Thank you. Now, are you like every other boy who can only think of snogging and Quidditch?

*~*~*~*

"You know what? Let's just stop discussing her replies and watch what she says." Ron said, annoyed.

"Exactly what I was going to say." Harry said, chuckling.

Then he leaned down to write.

JP2: Hey, you still there?

MuggleBorn0919: Yeah, I'm still here. Ask away, right? First question: Are you male or female?

JP2: Definitely male. You?

MuggleBorn0919: Sorry to disappoint. But I'm asking the questions here. You can ask after I'm satisfied. :)

JP2: Of course, milady. Now, your second question?

MuggleBorn0919: Thank you. Now, are you like every other boy who can only think of snogging and Quidditch?

JP2: Just Quidditch. Does that make me every other boy? Or would you like to obsess about snogging as well?

*~*~*~*

Ginny laughed at his reply. "Obsess with snogging?" She asked, laughing.

"Oh, hush. Let's just read shall we?" Hermione said a bit embarrassed by his reply.

After, she bent down to reply.

*~*~*~*

JP2: Hey, you still there?

MuggleBorn0919: Yeah, I'm still here. Ask away, right? First question: Are you male or female?

JP2: Definitely male. You?

MuggleBorn0919: Sorry to disappoint. But I'm asking the questions here. You can ask after I'm satisfied. :)

JP2: Of course, milady. Now, your second question?

MuggleBorn0919: Thank you. Now, are you like every other boy who can only think of snogging and Quidditch?

JP2: Just Quidditch. Does that make me every other boy? Or would you like to obsess about snogging as well?

MuggleBorn0919: No thank you. That won't be necessary. Um, what color are your eyes?

JP2: Green.

MuggleBorn0919: Are you Muggle born as well?

JP2: Yeah. My mum was Muggle born. My dad was a pureblood.

MuggleBorn0919: Interesting… Do you have a girlfriend?

JP2: No. But don't worry; I'm saving myself for you.

MuggleBorn0919: Very funny. Anybody you're interested in?

JP2: Just you.

MuggleBorn0919: You're lying.

MuggleBorn0919: Aren't you?

JP2: Of course I am. *smirk*

MuggleBorn0919: What are you implying?

JP2: Nothing. Next question.

MuggleBorn0919: Fine, avoid the question. Um, what's your hobby?

JP2: Quidditch.

MuggleBorn0919: I should've guessed that. What's something people don't know about you?

JP2: The fact that I'm talking to you and the fact that I have this diary.

MuggleBorn0919: Oh. What are some things you like?

JP2: Quidditch.

MuggleBorn0919: I'm sure there are more things you like.

JP2: I like you.

MuggleBorn0919: Quit that. You don't even know who I am. Or how I look like.

JP2: How would you know? I do know what you look like. Crystal clear eyes of blue… Soft, silky hair…

MuggleBorn0919: My eyes aren't blue. And my hair is neither soft nor silky.

JP2: Modesty is a good quality.

MuggleBorn0919: I'm ignoring your snarky comments. Next question: What house are you in?

JP2: Gryffindor.

MuggleBorn0919: Do you have a favorite color?

JP2: Green.

MuggleBorn0919: I can't think of anything else to ask… Oh! What year are you in?

JP2: Seventh.

MuggleBorn0919: How old are you?

JP2: Seventeen. Satisfied yet?

MuggleBorn0919: Quite. Your turn now.

JP2: Good. My turn. Answer all the questions you asked me.

MuggleBorn0919: What? Fine.

JP2: Go on.

MuggleBorn0919: I am a female. I don't obsess over snogging or Quidditch. My eyes are brown. My name says it, doesn't it? Of course, I am. No, I don't have a girlfriend. I am definitely not interested in anyone. I'm not implying anything. My hobby is learning. Something people don't know about me… hmm, I guess it's the same as you. Things I like… My best friends and classes. Not Divination, though. I'm Gryffindor as well. My favorite color is Lavender. And I am sixteen. That should do it.

JP2: Any boyfriends?

MuggleBorn0919: Nope. Why do you need to know?

JP2: Why did you need to know?

MuggleBorn0919: Touché.

JP2: Not fond of Divination, eh? Why not?

MuggleBorn0919: Because the teacher's loony. The whole subject is! "See with your inner eye!" All trash.

JP2: Ah. A skeptic.

MuggleBorn0919: I am not a skeptic.

JP2: Of course you aren't. What's you hair color?

MuggleBorn0919: That wasn't a question I asked.

JP2: Fine. I'm satisfied.

MuggleBorn0919: Well, I'm going. Talk to you later?

JP2: Of course! I might even be waiting for you again, milady! ; -)

*~*~*~*

A/N: That's it so far. Tell me if you like it. It isn't so much like "Charmed". I'm already writing the second chapter. I've basically got this all laid out.

This is AU. Well, sort of. Ignores the last book actually. Of course, this just how it began. The next chapter is two weeks later. So, please, click that review button under and review! ^_^
