HIYA!!!! Sorry I couldn't post this chapter quite as early as I usually do. (Fanfiction wouldn't let me in all evening. It's 2:30 am, right now!) Anyways, not a hell of a lot happens in this chapter… on the other hand, you could say A LOT happens. It's one of those chapters where relationship stuff happens. But I think you guys are going to be mad at me. Well, read on!
Hi Journal,
Okay, I promised I'd explain why I am an idiot. You see, half an hour before I had to leave for my date with Justin, I found out that "D" had just broken up with his girlfriend. Well, I guess my theory just got thrown out the window!
::Sigh:: nothing seems to work out quite right in my life, does it?
I did have a good time with Justin though. He was really sweet and bought me a butter beer, and then we went walking for a while and he held my hand. He even bought me a new type of sugar quill from Honeydukes! All in all, it was a nice date… but I kept thinking about "D" all through it. And then I felt horrible because that's not fair to Justin, and he was being so good to me. To top it all off, Justin asked me out again, and I was so confused and didn't know what to say… so I said yes.
I KNOW, I KNOW! If I don't like the guy I shouldn't be leading him on, but that's the problem. I THINK I DO LIKE HIM!!! And I still like "D" too. (I have a screwed up life!)
Anyways, I'd better go. Oh, and my date with Justin is Tuesday night, he said to meet him in the Astronomy tower. Something about it being a blue moon…

Hi D,
You broke up with your girlfriend? Oh, I'm sorry. Well, I probably shouldn't be telling you this right after you broke up with her… but… I just started going out with this guy! He's really nice, (and rather easy on the eyes!), not to mention older! Hee hee, I know I'm being silly, BUT WHO CARES!!!!
You know, for some reason, I always feel like I can trust you with all my thoughts and secrets. I haven't even told my best friend I'm seeing him yet! I think I'm going to wait a while before I do, to see if it goes anywhere. After all, we've only been on one date, but our next one is in two days! I'm so excited!
So, you're a guy (duh) what do you think I should wear? Something sweet, something modest, or something that would make my brother turn purple if he saw me in it? And should I wear my hair up or down? (My hair goes all the way down to my butt) What do most guys like?
Anyways, write me back!

Hi Journal,
I can't believe I just did that! I actually asked "D" what I should wear on my date! Great, ask the guy I have a crush on, how I should look when I go out with somebody else! Have I mentioned that I'm an idiot? Well, I have to go finish an essay for Snape.

Dear G,
A date? Hmmm, with an older man no less? My, my, how my little pen pal has grown. And here I was starting to believe you were to shy to be in to that kind of thing. Unless he's your first. Is he? I'm not trying to mock you, I'm just generally curious. It's in my nature!
Anyways, to the point, what should you wear? Let's see, since I don't know what you look like this is going to be hard. So let's start with the easy part; wear your hair up. But leave lots of tendrils hanging down for this guy to play with, and to frame your face.
For clothing I would go with a combination of the three things. You don't want to look like a slut on your second date, but you also don't want to look like you don't want him to get near you. I think you should wear a tight sweater, and maybe a plaid or black skirt. Do you have one of those new styles of dress robes? The ones that only have three buttons, and hang open in the front for people to see your legs? If you do, I'd wear that. If not, wear one of your normal robes, but don't do it up, or only do it up a little. (Having it falling of your shoulder is always a good trick, 'cause then he has an excuse to keep pulling it back up for you.
Well, I think that's all. Have fun, and don't get into too much trouble, okay? And, though I'm going to sound like an over protective brother, tell him if he hurts you in anyway, I'll pounded him into something, even his mother wouldn't recognize him as!
And, be careful, guys have only one thing one their minds. (I should know, I can never get mine off it!)

Hi journal,
Okay, this is how it went. I took "D's" advice and wore a soft blue (skin tight) sweater, and a black skirt that reached mid thigh. Then I pulled my hair up in one of those messy buns, and let some curls down to frame my face. "D" was right, Justin almost fell over when he saw me. It was fantastic! But then I had the whole problem of not being able to stop thinking about him again. Especially because I was wearing what he told me to. It's all very difficult.
On with the story… Justin had set up something a kin to a small picnic for us on the Astronomy tower, (a box of chocolates, some sort of berry drink, and a blanket for us to sit on). We spent hours talking and star gazing. And the moon was so bright we didn't even need another source of light. Justin explained to me about the blue moon thing too. It seems that this was the second full moon in the month, which is called a blue moon!
And you want to hear the best part? HE KISSED ME!!! Not a long smoldering one, but a nice, gentle one, that lasted about four seconds. And then he pulled back and stared into my eyes before smiling at my expression (apparently I looked rather dazed), and gave me one more quick kiss! MY FIRST KISS!!!!
The whole date was wonderful. The kind of romantic date girls dream about! And we're going out again. I'm not sure if I'm happy, but I think so!

Hi D,
Thanks, for the advice, the date was perfect! He took me star gazing, and had a miniature picnic set up. And then when he walked me back to my house, he kissed me. And I'll confine in you: it was my first kiss! So you were right, I've never done this kind of thing before, and he is my first everything. BUT THAT"S OKAY… BECAUSE HE KISSED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummmm, I'm probably scaring you by now, so I'd better stop. Write to you later!
-G
Dear G,
Your first kiss? Will you get mad at me if I tease you about it? Probably… ::sigh:: you take all the fun out of this! ::wink::
So other then this boyfriend of yours, what else is knew? Anything good? I have some news, I think I've found my next girlfriend. (I never stay single long). She cute, not as hot as my last one, but not bad. Now I just have to get her. (It shouldn't be to hard, she's been interested in me all year!)
Well, got to go.
-D
Hi Journal,
Okay, I'm dating Justin now, so I shouldn't care if "D" has found a new girl, right?
THEN WHY DO I CARE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I feel so guilty! And yet, I'm thinking about "D" more than Justin, but I really do like Justin! How the hell did I go from having no guys in my life, to having too many?!?!
I feel like I'm cheating on Justin to. I mean, he doesn't even know about "D", but here I am flirting with him on a daily basis… we are flirting, right?
God, I'm screwed up! And I know I say it a lot, but it's true!
-Ginny
That's all for now folks! My muses are starting to dry out for tonight. (Don't worry, they'll be fine tomorrow, they just needs a healthy dose of dreams!)
Remember to REVIEW! And don't be too mad at me for the Justin/Ginny stuff, or the Draco/next girl stuff. I promise when they do finally meet they will be single. But I feel I should warn you, this story is FAR from over, and they'll meet at the end. (I've already written the last chapter! Now I just have to write the chapters before it!) Well, got to go to bed! Toddles!
