The whole day Ron had been forced to help his mother with dinner that night and hadn't seen his two best friends getting along with his twin sister's two best friends. Before dinner that evening, Draco took out his silver and green notebook and started to write.
Hey mate,
I don't know what gave me the nerves to do it ,but me and Harry have made an agreement with the girls to get on for the rest of the summer and this afternoon we actually had a really good time hanging out by the pool. I hate to admit it ,but me and Granger got on fairly well. She gave me a lesson on how to do a handstand in the water. I didn't actually get it ,but she was a very good instructor. Weaslette was teaching Harry ,meanwhile, and I could see he had no idea what he was supposed to do. Granger jr was like a child showing off her stunts and pushing off from the wall to swim to the other end. Now I see why Granger treats her sister like a child. She acts like a 10 year old not a 14 year old. I feel guilty (which is something I have never felt before) for kicking her at school a week ago. Now that I have got to know her a bit more, it has occurred to me how innocent and sweet Granger is. When you become her friend, she sticks by you no matter what. We were having a discussion about Ron's reaction when he sees us getting along and she told us not to bother ourselves with him if he doesn't accept "because that means that he doesn't deserve to be your friend. I am very worried about Ron's reaction to be honest. I hope he accepts our friendship ,because it is doing me well.
Draco Malfoy
Harry had also taken out his diary decorated with snakes of various shades of green.
Hey pal,
Today me and Draco made 'friends' with the girls. Well actually we declared truce and then hung out with them in the pool the rest of the day. Weaslette tried to tech me how to to a 'handstand' in the water but I didn't get the point of standing on your hands ,when you have feet to do that job. We got on really well. I think I am actually taking a liking to her. When she isn't punching or shouting insults at you, she can be a very humorous good-natured girl. The best thing is that she doesnt care about what Ron will say when he finds out me and Draco are friends with his twin's friends. She actually wanted to be there. Granger and her sister are fine ,but she spent more time with Draco. I am starting to get worried about the Ron Situation. If he doesn't accept the friendship then I will be devastated. I will not show it ofcourse ,but I will be furious at him.
Harry Potter
Hermione and Ginny are in their room ,while Gabby has gone to take a shower. They both take out their maroon and gold diaries from their bags and start writing.
Dear Diary,
I think the world has turned upside down. Me and Ginny have made 'friends' with Harry and Draco. To be honest, they came up to us ,while we were having a lovely time in the pool, and asked us to put aside our differences and have an enjoyable summer together. Me and Ginny were not a fan of the idea ,but we wanted a fun summer as well. We accepted and ,to my surprise, it wasn't too bad. The boys didn't sneer or pass sly comments ,but were genuinely nice to us. After a few awkward minutes, we started relaxing and getting used to each others company. Malfoy was really sweet and playing with Gabby like she was a little sister. It was so cute. I also taught him how to do a handstand ,which he learned surprisingly quickly. Ginny however was having troubles with Potter's will to listen. The scene was actually quite funny though. I feel sorry for the boys because soon enough they will have to tell Weasley about their unusual friendship with me and Ginny and I have a feeling he isn't going to take it well.
Hermione Granger
Dear Diary,
I don't know what came over me today ,but I accepted Malfoy and Potters offer of a truce/friendship. The moment I said 'yes' I thought I had done something really bad ,but then they started being friendly. I relaxed a bit and the next thing you know ,me and Potter were hanging out like we were really good friends. I then tried to teach him how to do a handstand ,but he wouldn't listen. I guess his inner egotistical self is still there just hidden. The same way he hides it when he talks to his friends. It felt refreshing seeing Potter acting so nice and different. His old self is still there ,but it his hidden away. I feel sorry for him ,because when he tells Ron ,Ron will go beserk and crazy ,but I want to be there to support them ,because the only person, who can properly control Ron out of the 5 of us is me. That is because I am his twin and have known him since I was born.
Ginny Weasley.
Gabby then came out of the shower ,wearing a baby pink coloured loose dress with no sleeves. Ginny and Hermione both stuffed their diaries in their bag and got ready themselves wearing the same kind of outfit they wore in the morning ;brushed a bit of make up on and went down the stairs. Ron shot a snide remark at them while Harry and Draco pretended to be really eager in finishing their food ,telling the girls that nothing had been told to hid yet. Ginny sat next to Ron ,who started nudging her persistently and knocking her fro as she ate. Hermione saw Harry's fists clench ,but he kept his eyes on his food. Fred and George were looking suspiciously at them -they were usually the loudest at the table. As Ginny was finishing her chicken drumstick, a loud crack rent the air and she squealed.
"Ron, owwww!"
"What I didn't do anything?"
"Don't give me that tone Ronald Weasley"
"What tone?
"You broke my ribs by nudging me the whole of dinner"
"I did no such thing"
"Ginny, if you're hurt you should lie down" Hermione interrupted their argument
"Expelliarmus" Ginny cried as Ron pointed his wand at her. Ron then clenched his fists and was about to punch her ,when Harry stopped his hand muttering "It's not worth it". At that moment Ginny fainted. The pain must've overcome her will to stay conscious. "Oh no" moaned Harry under his breath.
"I'll take her upstairs" volunteered Hermione ,using a levitation charm with Mrs Weasley's wand and taking Ginny up to her room.
"Why did you stop me?" Demanded Ron
"Well…" started Harry
"Well what"
"Me and Harry have made a temporary truce with them" Draco helped Harry out
"You what?"
"Yes Ron ,because we wanted to have a peaceful summer"
"But … why?" Ron shouted
