10 October, 1994 (Happy Birthday to Me!)
It's morning now. I woke up very early, and wasn't able to fall back asleep, so I decided I should write.
I talked to Cho about Cedric. She told me that they were just friends, and there was no way she'd try to steal him from me. Which of course is true, because Cho is a good friend. I don't know what I was thinking, saying that they were spending too much time together.
The Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students are coming in three weeks. I'm so excited! I can't wait for the tournament, and I really want to find out who the Hogwarts champion is. I have absolutely no idea who it might be!
Schoolwork is still brutal. Bleh. But, I guess I'm starting to get used to it now, since it's been over a month. That's almost a strange thought, that it's more than a month into the year already. Well, not really strange, but you know what I mean. I think. Do you? Oh, I need to stop babbling on and go get dressed!
~Later~
Oh, today was wonderful!! Cedric and I went to Hogsmeade, and we were walking down to the Shrieking Shake. Then, at the exact spot where he had asked me to be his girlfriend, he stopped and pulled something out of the inner pocket of his robes.
"This is for you, Daisy," he said. "Happy birthday."
I looked down at what he was holding. It was a daisy.
"I put a spell on it," he said, "so it'll never wilt."
I took the flower from him and held it gingerly in my hands, as if it were made of fine china. "Oh… thank you so much, Cedric. This is the sweetest present ever. I love you."
"I love you, too," I said as I gave him a hug. He put his hand under my chin and lifted up my face to his and we kissed. I felt so happy and safe in his embrace; so warm in contrast to the chilly October air.
When we walked back into the town, I had my daisy tucked behind my ear. In fact, I still do. It's past dinner, and I haven't yet even thought about taking it out! It's such a wonderful gift, it really is. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
A/N: I just started school again, so updates may become less frequent once I run out of pre-written chapters.
