11.30 AM, September 1st, Aboard the Hogwarts Express
I'm quite bored.
That wouldn't be expected, seeing as I'm with Lily, Rosemarie, and Alice, also known as three of my best friends.
But they're being such bitches!
I mean, was it really necessary for Lily to fall asleep?
And Rosie and Alice both! Must they have put off doing their summer work until now? They couldn't just not do it properly (as in at all), like me?
Then there's Kathy, my closest bosom buddy (who comes up with these phrases?). Anyway, Kathy-Cat just had to go sit with her new boyfriend...
This makes me quite sad. It's not even really that I miss Kathy, though that's part of it. It's who her boyfriend is.
See, Kathy's new man happens to be the same sexy hunk of hotness that I've been lost on for the past nine months, ever since last Christmas when he told me I looked nice in my green party dress at James's Christmas party.
I can't even be mad at her for stealing my man, seeing as I didn't tell her of my intense longing for him.
Not that I would want to be mad. It would just make me feel better to have my feelings directed somewhere.
Who is this mysterious "sexy hunk of hotness", I am sure you direly want to know. Am I correct, my dear diary?
I am? I shall tell you then:
Sirius Orion Black.
And yes, dear diary, I'm well aware his initials are SOB.
Why would his mother ever name him that, I have asked myself many times, as it is just a personal insult to herself. I happen to know it's true, though. He is a son of a bitch.
As in, Walburga Black, Sirius's mother, is a true bitch.
She's been neglecting Sirius ever since he got sorted into Gryffindor four years ago, and she's threatened to disown him many times. According to him, the only reason she hasn't followed through with it is because if she disowned him and something ever happened to his little brother Regulus, the Black family name would die out.
And to pureblood family's like the Blacks, having the family name die out is just about the worst thing possible.
But anyhow, I think I'll go find Kathy.
11. 45, with Kathy, Sexy man, and his friends in their compartment
Sirius has his arm around Kathy.
I'm jealous.
I wish I weren't, seeing as how she's my best friend and I want her to be happy.
But he's just so damn sexy...
Now they're snogging. More jealousy...
Oh, Remus had just asked me how my summer was.
"Lovely," I said.
"That's good," he said.
"How was yours?" I asked.
"Alright thanks," he said.
I told him we can converse in you instead of talking and me having to write "then he said" and "then I said" and such.
So here goes:
Just alright?
Er..rather good, I suppose.
Didn't you spend a week at James's?
Yes, with Sirius too.
No Peter?
He got grounded all summer.
For what?
The first day he was home he burned half their kitchen down while making a grilled cheese sandwich.
Oh Peter...
I laughed when he told me.
Was he angry?
It was over owl.
Oh, right...
I wouldn't care much if he were.
But he's one of your best friends.
Honestly, Grace, lately I've only been talking to him because it'd be awkward not to.
What about Sirius and James?
Sirius feels the same way I do, but James insists Peter's cool.
I think he's creepy.
Haha you're great, Grace.
As are you, Remus.
We oughta go change into out robes.
Right. Farewell for now then, Mr. Lupin.
Good-bye, Miss Jones.
8.34 PM, Gryffindor Girls 5th Year Dormitory
I just got back from the feast.
It started off well.
Us girls made Kathy promise to sit with us, which she did. So that was nice. I missed her a bunch after not even getting the chance to say more that hello to her this morning, seeing as she was too busy sucking my true love's face off.
I also happened to be sitting in such a spot that I could easily stare longingly at aforementioned true love as he shoved his face full of mashed potatoes and cherry pie.
Which by the way are his favorites foods.
So, like I said, it started great.
Until Kathy asked me who I was staring at.
"Um..no one," I told her. Obviously I couldn't admit to her that I have a burning ache in my heart directed at her lover boy.
"You've been looking over near Sirius (she said his name in a disgustingly loving way) for at least five minutes."
"What? I've been looking nowhere near there...I've been wholly concentrated on my supper."
"You haven't eaten a bite."
"Um..." Gee, she's like Sherlock Holmes.
"Grace," Kathy said. "I'm your best friend. Just tell me who you've been staring at."
"Er...well...you see..." I quickly glanced over, seeing who I could use for a decoy. Sirius was sitting in between James and Frank Longbottom. "I...uh... James!"
"Oh, Gracie..." Kathy said sympathetically. "You know I'd love for you to be together...double dates and all...but you know how he is..."
See, she knew it was a lost cause to be hung up on James, seeing as he's been stalking Lily since first year. And, dear diary, when I say stalking, I mean stalking. One time, in third year, we awoke to the sound of him loudly cursing after dropping Lily's Herbology text book on his foot when looking through her trunk "for proof she loves me" as he said.
But after that she had mysteriously been missing a bra and a pair of knickers...which we mysteriously found in his trunk when we went on a mission to get them back.
But, anyhow, the point is, pretending to like James could really work out for me. I could stare at Sirius without Kathy getting suspicious. As long as he's with James, that is. Which is always.
So I think I'll keep up the act.
9.12 AM, History of Magic
Binns in droning on about some rebellion in the 13th century, but I can hardly pay attention.
Why, you may ask, dear diary?
A certain extremely handsome boy is sitting directly in front of me and I can't keep my eyes off his sexy nearly black hair.
Except, of course, dear diary, to write in you.
But it's about him, so that doesn't count.
Grace, pay attention! This will be on O.W.L's.
That was Lily...so rude of her to steal you away, dear diary.
Anyway, Binns is so boring, I could sleep.
Maybe I'll try to take a nap...
Bye for now, dear diary.
