A/N: Not posted on H&Co because there are no mini sagas for December. Anyway, while writing my revenge fic, I got bored so I decided to try a random word prompt. I drew the word 'private'. Because of that, a plot bunny attacked.

I don't know if I should continue this.

What do you think?


READING HERMIONE'S SECRETS

Looking at her study buddy's very delighted face as he prattled on and on about his new girlfriend, Ginny Weasley, she only feigned interest as she wrote in her diary.

Sitting on his bed, Harry Potter cannot sleep so he decided to peruse the books Hermione told him to read. Checking the titles, he frowned when he noticed a much smaller and thinner leather book.

"Private Property of Hermione Granger," he muttered the embossed words on the cover. Must be a diary or a journal, he mused.

Curious, he opened the page and his brows furrowed since it's blank.

"Password, hmmm… Hogwarts: A History… No, okay… Crookshanks… Of course, not! That's too simple! Come on Potter – " To his surprise, when he said his last name, words in her familiar elegant handwriting started to appear.
