A/N: I don't own Harry Potter or any related characters

Dear Journal,

no one can know the truth. I mean, if anyone found out... things would get messy. People talk so much about how perfect of a couple we would make. I hate the fact everyone keeps pushing us together. I don't like her like that!

There, I finally said it! I do not like Hermione Granger like that! I don't even like Lavender like that! I wish the whole world would just... I don't know, stop putting so much pressure on me to like girls. I like boys! There the truth is finally written on a sheet of parchment in this stupid journal I stole from Percy's room.

It's a miracle I've managed to hide it this long, honestly. Mum's going to beside herself if she ever finds out. She expects us all to marry, settle down, and have huge families. I would love nothing more than a brood of little red heads following me around yelling, "Daddy, daddy," but things don't work like that...just kissing Lavender made me feel gross.

Dear Journal,

Today something extraordinary happened. You know I returned to Hogwarts to finish my schooling, well that was just an excuse to not marry young and make Mum happy. Harry's doing a great job of that with my sister of all people. Never mind about Harry. No, I don't know how I never noticed it before.

Remember Draco Malfoy, who Harry spent all sixth year obsessing over... Well, he might have a point. Draco's different since the war. He's back too, Merlin only knows why. Does it really matter? All that matters is suddenly, he's not quite so...evil. He's actually kind of hot... what am I saying, me and Draco? That will never work! He hates me, hates my family, and he's probably still a complete git.

Dear Journal,

Percy's written me, he wants to make amends with the family. Apparently, he's seen the light now that our side's won. I wrote him back, I told him everything. I have no idea why! He's going to tell Mum! She's going to hate me, or worse, force me to marry Hermione!

Today is the worst day ever, nothing could ever make it better, well, one thing but... just because Draco smiled at me when he handed me the armadillo bile doesn't mean he likes me. Just because his fingers touched mine and lingered... It means nothing because Mum's going to kill me. I wonder if Draco would come to my funeral?

Dear Journal,

Percy's the best brother in whole world! He didn't tell Mum, he didn't tell anyone. He wrote back, telling me about him and Oliver's no longer secret relationship. Mum didn't kill him! Mum was apparently shocked, but neither Percy or Oliver is dead! She's not going to kill me, she'll accept me. I'll wait to tell her, I mean, Percy's just come out. I'll let him have the spotlight for a bit... it's not like I have a boyfriend to show her anyway.

Dear Journal,

Oh my Merlin! Draco's single... Draco's no longer single... I'm dating Draco Malfoy! He likes me, he was afraid to move on me because of his father. His father who is now currently in Azkaban and has no hold on Draco. OMM! He asked me to Hogsmeade after potions, I said yes! Today is the best day ever! Mum's not going to kill and I'm officially dating Draco Malfoy! Coming back to Hogwarts was the best idea ever!

Dear Journal,

Draco kissed me. For a whole minute my brain just completely forgot everything in the world other than the feel of Draco's lips on mine. I think I'm going to ask him home with me for the Christmas Holidays, since now I'm not afraid of Mum knowing the truth. I hope he says yes, I think there's nothing I'd like for Christmas more than to spend it with Draco.

Dear Journal,

he agreed! We're both going to the Burrow for the holiday. I already wrote Mum and told her I'm bringing my boyfriend. She just asked what he liked to eat and if I thought he'd like a Weasley sweater... seeing as he spends most his time in mine, I think he would. I also told her that his favorite colors were black and silver. Draco doesn't care for green amazingly. He does look dashing in black though. This is going to be the best holiday ever.
