Hey, I've had this idea swimming around in my head for a while now. It's just a bunch of journal/diary entries on the one year anniversary of Voldemort's death. If you think I should turn any of 'em into actual stories, comment and let me know =)

Journal,
Sometimes it's hard to believe Fred is still gone. One year it's been since the last time I'd seen the grin on his foolish face. A jokester. Every morning I wake up and see his empty bed in our flat and think; 'Where the hell has Fred gone now?' then I remember. It's been hard. Our Joke Shop has been closed down for nearly 2 years. Business wasn't exactly thriving in the last year of Voldemort and I have been so upset I couldn't even think of re-opening it by myself. May 2nd 1999, the shop had seen it's last customer on August 17th 1997. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny all come by lots to see how I am. They help clean up the shop and offer to pack Fred's stuff. But Hermione's and Ginny's eyes mist over and Ron and Harry glaze over and we become I big blubbery mess. Angelina is pretty broke down too. She dated Fred for a shot while in out sixth year. I always remembered as the strong one. Probably the best Chaser on the team. But I would hold her when she cried and cried and I saw the real side of her. The vulnerable one. I didn't know what caused me to act but the 'Do you want to go to dinner with me?' slipped out before I could stop it. She smiled a little and said 'Yes' and part of me cheered the other said 'Why are you doing this? She was with Fred. It's like Harry with Ginny. Except Ron isn't dead.' Harry tried to put on a brave face most day's but he was the closest to me and Fred after Ron and Ginny. He offered to move in. Help with the shop. He only has Teddy every other weekend. He stays with his mother most often. Harry has been living mostly at Grimmauld Place. His only real companion being Kreacher. Ginny told me that she love's Harry and wants to move in with him but Mum'll never allow it. Hermione and Ron say whenever they're over he's upset. Thinking about Remus, Tonks, Sirius, Dumbledore...Snape. He told me the story of the pensieve and that Snape had loved his Mum. I gagged a bit and couldn't help but laugh a little. I felt betrayed in myself. How could I laugh? This was Harry's Mum. But me thinking about what would have happened if his Mum had married Snape and what Harry would have looked like. Would I even know Harry if that had happened? Probably not. Ron and Hermione started dating. Bout time I recon. They're always looking at each other. Well, dinner at Mum's with the gang. Maybe I'll take Harry up on his offer. I could use some company.
