Dear diary, I finally met Tom.
Tom used to be my kind of invisible friend. We met him in his diary.
Sorry! I didn't mean to cheat on you. That's why I didn't write you for so long. But his diary writes back. He writes back. Tom is interesting and understanding and handsome and smart and very very special.
That is why his diary is special too. You're special, but different special. You are like a regular friend, and he is... well, boys are usually stupid, like my brothers (especially Fred and George), and he's not. Maybe, if he was more real, he could be my boyfriend. He's five years older than me, so that's nearly as old as teachers, but he doesn't mind.
He told me I'm beautiful. He didn't say pretty like mom and dad and everyone else. Pretty is for little girls. I don't feel like a silly little girl when we write each other. I... don't tell anyone, but I dream of him. Sometimes, I take naps, and I dream he's teaching me things. And then, I feel like my stomach (he says that instead of tummy, because I'm not a little girl to him) is excited.
I was scared a few times, really. Sometimes I fall asleep and wake up elsewhere and I don't feel like I slept. But he tells me not to worry. He tells me that this happens to special women. He called me a woman! Not a girl like everyone else does.
He called me special.
Last night, I wrote his diary, and everything was invisible except for him, and he kissed me. It was amazing.
It was my first kiss.
Thought you should know!
Ginny.
