Reason 22: I LOVE QUIDDITCH
If I'm being honest, this doesn't really make me a MS because basically everyone loves quidditch but I'm going to include it anyway because quidditch is amazing. Harry was so cool when he caught the snitch and I can't wait until I can play a game as a chaser just like Angelina and Alicia and Katie. I've been partying with Fred and George since the match. All afternoon and all evening. I haven't been thinking about anything but the match and how great it was!
Well, I guess that I've been thinking a little bit about Harry, Ron and Hermione. They're worried about Snape trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone (not that they know that is what is being protected) but I told them that it isn't Snape. Now they think that I don't believe them (which I don't), that I don't trust them (which I do) and that I don't care about Harry's safety because I didn't notice that he was being hexed.
I'm sorry! I was enjoying the game! I knew that he would be okay!
Anyway, I've only been thinking about them a little. Okay, more than a little. Just a normal amount. Okay, more than that. I've been thinking about it a lot.
But I'm not worries! Why should I be? I'm right and I know that nothing bad will happen. So maybe I don't know how upset they are with me for not believing them. Or if they'll let me spend time with them because they're researching Flamel. Or if we'll stay as close friends because I was never in the books so I don't know how they will react to my actions and this one event could end with me being kicked out of the group and I'll have no-one to sit with in lessons and I will be completely and utterly alone.
But oh well. That doesn't matter. What does matter is quidditch! Gryffindor won! Whooooo!
Reason 23: My friends forgive me too easily
I have been avoiding the Golden Trio for the past few days. But George pulled me aside this morning and helped me to realise a few things. Even though I don't believe my friends, I don't have the right to tell them that their opinion is wrong. I mean, I know that it is, but until I am able to tell them why (which will be never) I need to accept their opinion and support them.
Not that George helped me realise that part though. He just prompted the thought. It's strange to think that he knew that I was upset so easily, but I guess that's just who he is.
George is very observant, far more so than Fred is. I suppose that George is happy to take a back seat while Fred takes the lead in things. Fred comes up with the plans, George figures out how they will work. Fred starts a sentence, George finishes it. It guess allows him to understand others better and be more empathetic to them.
That's why I'm pretty sure that George is catching onto the fact that I can tell them apart. I thought that I would have been able to keep it to myself for a few more months at least, but then again I didn't think that George would pay so much attention to the little things.
But getting back on track, I went to Harry, Ron and Hermione this afternoon and apologised over and over. It was obvious that they weren't too happy with me. I could see that I really hurt them by not believing them and then blowing them off to go and party. What better way to hide from your fears than partying, right?
George realised I did that.
I spent a solid ten minutes just begging for forgiveness and promising that I would help them with whatever they wanted. I think that they started to find my over the top apologies funny, because they were very willing to forgive me after those ten minutes and instantly told me their theories about Flamel as if nothing had happened.
The only problem I have now is that I feel guilty about them forgiving me so soon. It was probably my MS powers that made them do so. Thinking about it, I don't know why I got so flustered in the last entry. I'm a Mary-Sue, nothing could make my friends dislike me.
It's annoying that they didn't do so by free will, but I can't stop myself from bring relieved that they aren't holding a grudge against me.
Reason 24: I'm staying at school for Christmas
I guess that the powers in the sky (as I've decided to dub them) decided that they wanted me to stay at school for plot reasons. My great aunt has apparently fallen ill so my family are staying in a hotel near her nursing home. They won't be able to afford another hotel room for me to stay with them and they refuse to let me use my money, saying that I should save it for when I'm older.
I don't think that they truly understand how much money I have in my bank account.
Talking of money and Christmas, I think I've got some pretty good presents lined up this year, as all MSs should. For my mother I've got some flowers that will bloom all year round. For my sister, I have some football boots charmed to not let you hurt yourself when you wear them. They took me a little while to find, but were worth the slightly more expensive price in the end. For my father I have two tickets for a quidditch match over the summer. He seems really interested in the sport, and it's a chance for me to go to a professional quidditch match. I get to spend quality time with him while watching a sport I love, it's a win-win!
I'm not really sure what to get for my friends yet. I think that I'm going to get Hermione a muggle chemistry book to help with potions, as they are really similar if you look at the theory behind both. But I'm going to have to get my mum to order it for me and I don't know how it could be delivered without Hermione seeing. I guess I'll have to figure that out.
I think I'm just going to bake cookies for Harry, Ron and the twin's presents. I can't think of anything else that they would want that they couldn't get themselves, so I'm going to use my recipe from my old world.
So this is a bit of a longer chapter today. I think, once I've finished with this story, I will go through and change what entry is in which chapter. I'm finding it somewhat difficult at the moment as I want to keep all the chapters at a similar should be easier with hindsight, right?
