Dear Tom

White rabbits, white rabbits, Tom! Today is a really good day – a great start to this month! Firstly, all the petrified people were revived by Madam Pomfrey and it was so amazing that even Snape looked mildy pleased – I didn't think that was even possible! Did you have any teachers like Snape when you were at Hogwarts? Wait, why am I asking you things – you're not going to talk back so why waste ink on it. Oh that was a horrible thing to say, Tom, I'm sorry. I'm not wasting ink on you, I just…oh I think you know what I mean, don't you?

Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yes – great day! I was so happy to see Colin again and Harry was ecstatic in seeing Hermione which sort of made me happy too. Tom, do you think he likes her…you know…likes likes her? I mean, she's not that pretty but she's really smart so maybe I should start swotting up over the holidays so I do well in tests too.

And secondly, THE EXAMS ARE CANCELLED! I'm really glad because I haven't been revising because of… um… yeah…you know. Everyone was happy – except Hermione. Her face was so funny when Dumbledore announced it – I thought she was about to cry! Percy looked a bit miffed too – but he's no fun anyway and he just wants to be Head Boy desperately. (I bet Hermione wants to be Head Girl just as badly when she's in Seventh Year.) However, the rest of the students were cheering and throwing their hats in the air which made Percy and Hermione look even more comical!

And finally….drum roll please….HAGRID'S BACK! A month ago he was taken to Azkaban because he was the one person they could connect with…you know. But Dumbledore sent his release papers the other day and now HE'S BACK! He was really nice to me too and I missed him when he was gone. He even made some rock cakes to celebrate (I went to see him after the feast) and I tried to eat one but I think they were more rock-like than usual so I hid it in my robes when he wasn't looking. I was glad to see Fang as well. I'm usually more of a cat person (but I hate Mrs Norris – well, Harry does, so I do too) (actually I don't hate her I just wish she didn't exist so I couldn't have...) Oh this is so hard! Everything I try to talk about just seems to come back to what happened and I really don't want to talk about that.

So yes, that's basically all that happened today but I was a "good 'un" as Hagrid would say!

PS – since you haven't replied and because I can still see my last entry, I'm guessing you've really gone…

PPPS – if you haven't, please talk to me – I really miss you


A/N - thanks for sticking through the second chapter! Each chapter will be short - I can't imagine Ginny being the type to write reams and reams. Please write a review to give me feedback (good or bad, I really don't mind!)

Love Beth xxx :)
