Dear Dumb Diary,

James has reached an all-new low. He's so pathetic. He asked me out again today. Okay Diary, you know I like him a bit, but I still can't go out with him. However, someone by the name of Lily Evans' conscience told me to go out with him, since I like him anyway. He wanted to treat me to a box of chocolates from Honeydukes and a butterbeer from the Three Broomsticks, which was unusually nice of him since he didn't mention Zonko's at all. While he was asking me, Sirius shot him a conspicuous look that read, "What happened to our usual hangout at the joke shop?" Only Remus noticed, but he ushered Sirius away before I replied.

So the next Hogsmeade date is in three months, but it's cool to hang out with James a little later. Besides, he told me he would sit next to me and we could have a small, but public, date in school. He's so darned sweet….but I still hate him.

Anyway, to get revenge on account of me taking away his Hogsmeade date with James, Sirius pulled a prank on me. He charmed a piece of cloth to become invisible, then placed it at the bottom of the girl's staircase. I took a bad fall, and my head cracked against the study table. Sirius was standing sheepishly in the corner, looking like he was hoping it wouldn't turn out to be so serious. Alice had been right behind me, alongside Gwen, so they called Madam Pomfrey. Gwen muttered that Sirius was a no-good, fucking two headed freak, but luckily Alice didn't hear (she's not that big a fan on cuss words).

When I was released, I headed straight for the Great Hall. Madam Pomfrey told me I was having a concussion, so she advised me to skip the rest of my classes and hang out in the hospital wing. Alice brought me the assignments, and informed me that most of it was really difficult and would have been easier if I had been in class and stayed there for the whole lesson. I grimaced.

"Thanks a lot, Alice." Alice didn't smile, because she was going through the break-up scene with Frank and never smiled anymore.

The rest of the day was a blur, because I remember taking a nap while trying to read Standard Book of Spells, Level 5 by Miranda Goshawk.

Well, that's all for today. I'm tired and McGonagall yelled at me to stop writing and sleep a bit.

Signed, Lily Tired Evans
