A Word from the Author: Hello friends of the night, this is jediclonecowgirl, with another chapter of "Sally's Diary". Man...it's been quite long again...possibly there aren't even many chapters left of this. Maybe I should devote myself longer to the really big projects, like "The Wizard Twins" and all the others...well let's get started shall we?
Dear Diary.
Man...it's been quite long. I stopped with my last entry weeks ago and barely even touched my diary, since then. My goodness, I should really write in this thing more often, even if my only news are, that I managed to survive a prefect-conversation with Percy about breaking rules again. Man...I really don't know how Oliver can put up with this day after day! Don't get me wrong...I like Percy...I really do, but he can be quite a fun-break every now and then.
Well...biggest news are, that, if Snape really wants to break Quirrell, he wasn't really sucessful. Quirrell maybe looks worse in the classes, but Snape still hasn't gained the knowledge about how to get past Quirrell's spells he used to protect the stone.
The other news are, that we've got final exams coming up soon...at least how Hermione acts...for Merlin's sake they are still TEN BLOODY WEEKS AWAY! Hermione says, that this is one second for Nicolas Flamel, but WE ARE ELEVEN TO TWELVE YEARS OLD AND NOT SIX-HUNDRED! My goodness not even PERCY has started to revise yet and finals are really important for him this year. He is a fifth year, so he will be doing his O.W.L's this year. I don't even have an idea, why Hermione even bothers to revise. That girl is a walking LIBRARY for Merlin's sake!
Unfortunately the teachers think excatly like Hermione. The mountain of homework they are dumping on us is almost KILLING ME and it's not much different with Sammie. I fear, that my sister will go mental, if we are coped up in the library for too long. It's not like we WANT this or anything...Hermione is making us. Everytime Fred, George and Lee ask us, if we want to go to pull pranks with them, or anything like that, Hermione chirms in, that we do not have any time, because we all go to the library to revise. Fred and George start to sympathise us again for the way Hermione behaves towards us. She might be our friend, but this really goes a bit too far. George even said, that, if he could chose to be locked up with either Hermione or Percy, he would take Percy in a heartbeat. Maybe because he is his brother, maybe because he actually has a small sense of humor, maybe because he let us slip, as we ganged up on Quirrell this winter. I am just suspecting here...no idea, why George said that.

Dear Diary.
As we were coped up in the library for revising today, we met Hagrid. He got himself a book on how to take care of dragons. Yeah...DRAGONS! He is really nice, but also keeps on surprising me in rather unpleasant ways. Harry said, that Hagrid always wanted to have a dragon, but this is against our laws. Muggles would notice, if we were keeping dragons in our backyards and by the way you can barely tame those things...I do not even want to imagine how burned Ron's older brother Charlie got in Romania...since he is working with those things. The Ministry always has to hex muggles, who have seen dragon, since there are wild living dragons here in Britain.
This afternoon we were in Hagrid's Hut. Wanted to know how the stone was protected. Excluding "Fluffy" it's protected by the four heads of house, Professor McGonnagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout and Professor SNAPE! Oh...and Quirrell and Dumbledore himself. Flamel must've asked Dumbledore to take the stone to Hogwarts, since he was almost stolen out of Gringotts...Hagrid says, that's it's ridiculous to believe, that Snape wants to steal the stone, since he is one of the teachers protecting it and, that we should stop chasing Snape.
When I am already getting on Hagrid, I will get back to the unpleasant ways he keeps surprising me in. He actually has a dragon egg. He says, that he won it, while gambling, with some wizards from another country. Now he wants to raise the dragon in his hut. This won't end well and I know it. Dragons grow bloody quickly.

Dear Diary.
Remember how I said, that it won't end up well with Hagrid's dragon? Merlin I was right! Hagrid is actually forgetting his duties as a gatekeeper, because this dragon often demands his attention. The way he acts towards it, you could think, that this dragon's a fluffly bunny! I am not speaking this out in front of Hagrid, but the way he acts towards this dragon is making me sick! He actually singing "Norbert" (he is obviously giving names to every animal he takes care of) LULLABIES! Ugh...
Harry tried to talk Hagrid into releasing this dragon, but Hagrid says, that it's too small and that it would die all alone. I hate to write this down now, but I must say that Hagrid isn't wrong about that. I saw it...the dragon really IS too small to be released.
There is one more problem we have: MALFOY! He has seen the dragon! He could go to Dumbledore any second! Nice! Ron and Samantha are already starting to regret beating Malfoy up at the last Quidditch game. Still...I don't think, that this is the reason he is doing all that. He just basically likes seeing Gryffindors suffer. He thinks, that he owns the school by having a rich father and being in Slytherin, because this is obviously the best house in the school! JERK! Could make you want to be sick by just thinking of his self-confident smile. I hate this guy! I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM!
Luckily there is one good thing about all this. Hagrid has agreed to let Ron write an owl to his brother Charlie, so he can take the dragon it at Romania. Good thing, when you have a dragon tamer for a brother. I envy Ron, since this sounds quite interesting.

Dear Diary.
Alright! This is definatly going too far! I was more, than patient, because Hagrid is my friend, but after what happened tonight, my patience is really put to the test. The dragon has actually BITTEN RON! Yes...and Hagrid actually said, that Ron has scared the dragon. I am more, then trying to swallow that down, but my patience is really put to the test more and more...
Luckily Charlie has agreed to take on the dragon, but he can't come to get it. He told us, that it's the best to take the dragon up to the highest tower, which is the tower for Astronomy class by the way, I hate this class, where a few friends of him would get it and it all has to happen at midnight. Great, it's going to be another one of those things...
Hermione has volunteered to take the dragon up there with Harry. Ron will wait at Common Room with us. With this bite he probably won't be able to even hold a quill for the next few weeks. Poor Ron...
Still...they should watch out. I do not want to imagine, what's going to happen, if Malfoy comes after them or anything like that. I am sittng on glowing coal here already...

Dear Diary.
I am starting to get worried about Ron a bit...I don't know how, since I am not really the right person to talk to, when it comes to dragons, but I think, that the teeth of Hagrid's dragon might've been poisonous. His hand is swollen and looks pretty ugly and scary...
He was refusing to go to Madam Pomfrey, our school's medi-witch, but this afternoon, as his hand started to go green he did not have much of a choice anymore. As we came to visit him, he was in a horrible condition. I almost cried, but I kept it togehter.
Still...the next best thing was, that Malfoy has got Charlie's letter. Great...the plan is doomed to failure...Samantha would tell me, that I am thinking too negatively, but these aren't good odds. Oliver once said, that Gryffindor never had good odds, but these are BLOODY HORRIBLE ODDS!

Dear Diary.
Now that really did NOT go as planned. 150 points taken from Gryffindor and Harry, Hermione and Neville have detention. Neville raced out to warn Harry and Hermione, that Malfoy is after him and about to turn them in to McGonnagall. GREAT! JUST GREAT! I think I am going to get an idea on...I don't know...murdering Malfoy or anything like this...I just gotta concider, that Snape is going to murder me, if I do so...I heared Percy say, that he knows really much about the Dark Arts and by the way...this guy is already so...I do not even have a word to describe the character of this greaseball...the hair of this guy is so greasy, that he deserves that nickname.
Now that finals are REALLY coming up, I am basically throwing myself into revising. Matter-of-factly the entire school does...except for Fred and George...obviously. Those two get by on luck, as Percy put it.
George and I met on the hallway today...he is one of the less Gryffindors, who aren't mad at us. Keeps saying, that we will get another shot at the house cup...even tried to squeeze outta me, what we did to loose so many points for Gryffindor. Didn't tell him though. George was fine with it, said, that a girl is allowed to have her secrets and played with my hair again. I was so fluttered. He even offered me to help with revising the best he could, but I turned him down.
Bloody Hell...if Parvati and Lavender find out about that, I am probably never going to hear the end of that.

Ending Word: Well...this is the seventh bunch of entries...and the longest so far. I hid a hint for a later pairing in this bunch of entries...have you found it? I hope you liked the chapter and I hope, that you leave some reviews behind. Now all I have left to say is bye, bye and mischief managed.
