Why did I do that? Why did I kiss Hermione? I don't like her in that way, I like someone else. I just felt sorry for her. And of course Lavender had to see. I mean, I'm not stupid. I know Lavender likes Hermione in the way I do not, cannot. I knew that Hermione needed cheering up. I can pick up on peoples' feelings. Call it a perk of being a pureblood, good instincts and all. But that also means that I know Parvati is also attracted to someone.
We've got ourselves into a right mess, us Gryffindor girls, haven't we? And I for one can't help it. That's why I asked Hermione about love. That's why Lavender's secretly wondering what she's done wrong, what she said on the drunken night in the seventh dorm, because Parvati is avoiding her. And that's why Parvati won't even look at Lavender, she's ashamed of what she said, because she's from a strict pureblood family.
Oh, the drama.
I'm the only one that knows. I wish everyone would just come out and admit it. But I have some work to do first. Right now it's a rainy day for us all, we're all in the wrong place, loving someone who doesn't love us back. I've got to make the sunshine come after the rain. I've got to sort it out.
I've got to make Hermione like Lavender back, and then that'll clear the way for me to make a move on Parvati. I am purely selfish in my love, who truthfully wouldn't be?

Ginny to the rescue?
