Yesterday was very eventful, well if you consider talking mutually with your nemesis of 5 years 'eventful'. Today was the official, first day of term and I was pretty excited. I was finally able to drop Divination and Care of Magical Creatures, not that I hated Hagrid or anything. It's just his teaching was so poor and Divination you can understand why I would want to drop that, with an oaf like Trelawney teaching.

This morning we got our Schedules from McGonagall, and sadly I had all of my subjects with Potter. Although I couldn't let this get me down, him and I were supposed to be friends now. Who knows how that was going to work, but we'll see.

The bell for first period rang shortly after breakfast. I had double potions, great subject to have first thing on a Monday. We walked into the classroom to the most glorious of smells. By 'We' I am meaning Ron, Hermione, Potter and myself of course. We sat down at the middle round table and took out our potions books. A few minutes later Proffesor Willowby walked in.

"Hello class, welcome to your first NEWT potions class. Today, will just be an introductory lesson so there will be no need to get out any ingredients or your books. Now over the summer I have brewed a few potions for you to examine. If you would like, you can all come up the front and get a closer look."

The class left our seats and gathered up the front of the classroom where all the peculiar potions were sitting.

"Now, this small potion. Who can tell me what it is?" Proffesor Willowby asked. Hermione, Ron, Potter, myself and a few other all put their hands up. He called on Potter

"Ahh, Mr Potter"

"It is Veriteserum sir, my father uses it alot at work as he is an Auror."

"Very good, Mr Potter. Ten points to Gryffindor."

Potter turned around and smirked at me. I thought we were trying to be friends.

"This next one." Proffesor Willowby begins, "is a rather strong potion. Can anyone tell me what it is?" I raise my hand straight away I knew exactly what it was and I knew the second I smelt it when we walked into the room.

"Yes, Miss Weasley"

"That potion is Amortentia, the most powerful love-potion in the world. It smells like what the consumer loves most. It does not create actual love, but deep obsession."

"That is indeed correct, Miss Weasley. Another ten points to Gryffindor." I beemed. "Now, later this term we will be making this potion and it will be your main assignment. You will be given a partner, and you and your partner will have 3 weeks to complete the potion."

The rest of the class was progressively boring, Proffesor Willowby went on and on about the NEWTs course and how important it is for us to pay attention to everything. Of course I think Hermione and I are the only ones listening. Potter and Ron were too busy planning pranks in a note book. I don't understand how they both did so well in OWLs. They each got 9 owls, I got the that too, but they never pay attention. It's like they use legilimens or something. But they can't, that's advanced magic.

At last the bell rang to leave. Ron, Potter and I each had a free period while Hermione went to Arithmancy. I don't understand why she takes that subject, I guess she just wants extra credit. Ron, Potter and I decided to head down to the lake, to get some last minute relaxation before we got a pile up on Homework. It was so peaceful.

"Hey guys, do you wanna play a game of truth or dare." Ron said suddenly.

"Ummmm, sure." I replied

"I'm in, no lying or backing out. If you do either you have to do something worse," said Potter

"I'll go first," I say. "Potter, Truth or Dare."

"Dare."

"I dare you to go over to that group of girls, say your going out with the Giant Squid then come back here."

"Ok," he says and gets up. "Whats your obsession with the Giant Squid by the way."

"Oh nothing, just do it." He walks over to the group and half yells so Ron and I can hear him.

"Hey Ladies, how's it going." The girls giggle, What do they see in him? "Did you know, I'm dating the Giant Squid? He's so cute and I've actually got a date this afternoon. See you later, Ladies." He winks and walks back over to us. We are in fits of laughter.

"My turn," Ron pipes up, "Ginny, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth"

"Out of the two of us. Who would you prefer to date."

"Come on Ron, that's not fair. You're my Brother."

"Well it should make the pick easy then." Potter chuckles.

"Fine. Potter," I say not making eye-contact. "plus there is no way I'd been seen dating you anyway Ron. Hermione's all yours."

"I'm next!" Potter says. "Ron, Truth or Dare?

"Truth,"

"If Ginny and I were falling off a cliff, and you could only save one of us. Who would you save."

"Umm, could I choose that we all die?"

"NOPE." Potter says popping the 'P'.

"Fine, Ginny because she is family,"

"Aww... Thanks Ron" I say.

"but I would heavily greave your death Harry, for many years after and probably regret saving Ginny's life."

"Ok, My turn again," Ron says

"Harry, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

"Hmmm... How in love are you with my sister." Potter blushes, aww it's so sweet. He never blushes. Great question Ron.

"Umm..." Potter mumbles.

"Come on Harry we don't have all day." Ron says impatiently. "I'll make it easier. On a scale of one to ten how in love with her are you."

"FINE." Potter yells. "Nine and three Quarters." I'm blushing now, he just admitted, out loud that he loves me, I don't have to have the constant telling of Ron anymore.

"I knew it," Ron says. "Now, come on Kiss."

Potter and I look at each other sadly. Oh Merlin this just got a whole lot more awkward. Potter's leaning in. What's with this guy. He doesn't have to do what Ron says. I have to stop it. I then hold my finger up to his lips and push him back.

"Look, Potter. You don't have to kiss me. You don't have to do what Ron says. I like you a little, more than I ever have. But not like that. I'm really sorry. Maybe if we could get to know each other. Like I mean we have heaps in common. We play quidditch, we are both super smart. We could study together some time if you want."

"YESSS!" Ron yells "I've made progress. Project Hinny is in motion. I have to tell Hermione." Potter and I stare at him while he gets up and leaves, leaving us alone.

"I would really like that Ginny, you might not like me now, but you haven't seen the real me. Trust me you'll like it. You don't have to like me, I just want to know, that I have got as close to you as was possible and just because I didn't try you have gone down your own path."
