Things I have done: Prepared a list of excuses on why I skipped Draco's tutoring lessons.

Things I have not done: Herbology.

Dear diary,

Today went rather, bad. Not to mention our divination classes oh dear.

Today, I had potions too and as predicted Professor Snape approached me. I remember the exact words he said to me, "Granger, you will be tutoring Draco from next week onwards." He walked away before I could even protest.

As I looked to the bench beside me, I saw Harry's shocked expression and as usual Ron's smile as wide as ever. After class, no need to say, there was an endless list of things said by Ron and Harry of how this could go terribly wrong.

I love them both very much but sometimes I just want to smack them on their heads.

I confronted Ginny about this, and she asked me to not to lose the plot and advised me to calm down.

I am calm,

Hermione Jean Granger,

Can be calm.

Just not now, when I am expected to tutor draco malfoy.

No.

I made my way to my dorm, and decided to come up with a long list of excuses of me possibly skipping Draco's tutoring sessions.

Hopefully, he will skip sessions too.

Wait who am I kidding?

It's malfoy, we're talking about of course he will.

Well I still have herbology assignments to do, and all this dwelling on future tutoring session got me knackered.

Hopefully, my next diary entry would start off with, "today was a good day" or something along those lines.

Oh and on a last note, I would like to mention that I wrote my parents a letter today about how everything is here. I really miss them, and I can't wait to see them again. In the last letter, my dad wrote about how this spoilt kid demanded for all his candy in his dentist office and my dad did give it to him. Oh how I love him and my mother wrote about her adventures baking. Well I can't wait for their reply.

With much love for herbology guides,

Hermione.
