Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat at the Gryffindor table waiting for the
sorting ceremony to be over. So far, they had gained three Gryffindors. Ron
yawned and rested his head on his hands. Hermione was whispering about the
diary with Harry.
"Don't you want to see what happened after their date?" she asked. Harry shrugged.
"Well of course, but why tonight? Why not tomorrow night or something?" Harry hissed back. Hermione moved closer to Harry.
"Because I want to know, and Ron wants to know. Come on Harry, please oh please! This can be the last entry for a whole week if you want." Hermione begged. Harry gave in and agreed that night they would see the next entry. The sorting ceremony was over and Gryffindor earned three girls and five boys. One of the girls kept staring at Harry, which made Hermione laugh.
"I'm hungry!" Ron complained. Hermione smiled at him.
"How on Earth can you be hungry Ron? When I woke up all the candy wrappers were empty!" Hermione said. Ron blushed and bowed his head.
"Yeah well, I threw up and now I'm starving." Harry smirked and waited for the food to appear. He was starting to feel hungry.
"Oi, I wonder who are new defense against the dark arts teacher is!" Neville said leaning over and looking at the group. Harry had forgotten they needed a new teacher. He tried to look at the main table, but Neville was blocking it with his head.
"Me too, hopefully it wont be her again," Hermione said, thinking about last year's teacher. Neville shook his head.
"I don't know, but they are sure going to get mad when they see Snape sitting in their seat. Well I actually don't blame him because some woman is sitting in his seat; she is more like a veela actually. Part veela if you had to ask me. Maybe that's why Snape gave her his seat," Neville babbled on about. Ron pushed him out of the way. Sure enough, Snape was sitting in the defense against dark arts teachers seat.
"Neville, I think he is the new teacher," Ron said with a worried look on his face. Harry looked at the teacher in Snape's regular seat.
"She must be our new potions teacher," he said. Hermione looked at the main table.
"Hm. This should make for an interesting year," she said, and then looked at Draco. He was staring at the new teacher with his mouth wide open. She began to laugh. Ron looked at Draco too and broke into laughter so hard, he began to cry. Harry wiped his face.
"What?" he asked, staring at his two best friends. Hermione covered her mouth and pointed at Draco. Harry turned to the Slytherin table. Draco was staring at the new potions teacher with his mouth wide open. Harry smiled.
"I sure hope we actually have potions with the Slytherins!" Ron said. Harry nodded. He never thought he would be hoping for a class with the Slytherins. Normally, they were hoping they wouldn't. The feast began and they ate and ate. Ron and Hermione helped the new years to the tower and explained everything to them. Harry and Ginny walked down the hall behind the group.
"This is going to be a hell of a year," Ginny said to Harry. They were defiantly going to be the last Gryffindors in the common room. The rest of the walk they didn't say anything. Ron and Hermione were sitting by the fire, waiting for Harry. Ginny went up to the dormitory and Harry went to get his diary.
"No need to mate, I got it for you already!" Ron said holding it up.
"Don't go through my stuff," Harry said and sat in a chair. Hermione moved to the chair next to Harry and Ron sat next to the couch.
"All right Harry, no one is around," Hermione said checking the room. Deep down, Harry didn't want to share with his best friends. Harry unlocked the diary and opened it. He cleared his throat and took a deep breath.
"I have just gotten back from my date with James and I must say diary, I am surprised at how good of a time I had. Maybe it's just the full moon, but he was enchanting and charming. We kissed a little and I'm supposed to be meeting him down by the fire to talk but I think he is looking for a little more than that. Too bad I'm not that keen of him diary. Personally, I think that he will just be a fling. He isn't very serious and can't take responsibility on things. He is a big kid, not a life mate. I know I would explain everything the moment I got back, but I have to go meet James (!!!). Never thought I would be this excited to see him diary, but I wont let him know it." Lily locked her faithful diary and loosely pulled her hair back. She was hoping James wasn't looking for anything more then a snogging session by the fire . . .because that was all he would be getting! Lily crept quietly down the stairs to the common room. It was empty, as usual. James wasn't even there yet. Lily sat on the couch and gazed into the fire.
"I didn't think you'd come," a voice behind Lily said. She turned to see James standing there with his hands in his slacks; he decided to go robe less. Lily smiled and took off her cloak as well, showing her black dress.
"Why wouldn't I come? I actually had a good time," Lily said. James face lit up and he hoped over the couch. Lily laughed at him.
"Really? I thought you had a terrible time! When we got back, you went straight to the dormitory." Lily smiled warmly.
"I just had something to do. But I honestly had a great time!"
"Oh Lily, I've been waiting such a long time to hear you say such a thing . . .I knew if you gave me a chance you would like me!" Lily leaned in a kissed him.
"How long have you been waiting for that?" James smiled with glee. Lily wrapped her arms around him and began to kiss him. Very abruptly, the picture was gone and they were back in the common room of Hogwarts, minus Lily and James. Hermione blinked.
"What happened?" she asked, Harry sat with the book shut in his lap.
"I couldn't watch it, it might mess me up or something," he said. How many kids watched their parents make out? Not many, if any at all. Ron sat staring out the couch.
"I wonder how many times that's happened." Hermione smiled and uncrossed her legs.
"When can we see the next entry?" she asked. Harry shook his head as he locked the diary up.
"Never. I'm done with it. I don't care to see anything else, all I know is my mom loved my dad in the end and that's all. Besides, I shouldn't have opened it to begin with. It probably is connected with black magic and my mom just didn't know it." Ron sighed heavily.
"First real interesting thing we get our hands on and Harry here decides that it isn't a good idea! Bloody hell Harry, it's the past. We can only learn from the past." Harry shook his head and held the diary close.
"Leave him alone Ron, he doesn't want to see anymore," Hermione snapped. Ron glanced at her.
"Oh! You're only siding with him so you can maybe get a chance to read a few more entries in case Harry wants to find out a little more!"
"You are so immature. If Harry doesn't want to share with anyone he doesn't have to! Its not even my life, why would I want to pry into his parents past? Huh? You're the nosey one; you snooped around his stuff until you found the damn thing! I said, no Ron, wait for Harry . . .but you just HAD to touch it!"
"Please Hermione, you-"
"ENOUGH!" Harry said, almost shouting. "No one is going to see anything else from this diary and if I do decide to read more, it will be alone. Good night to you both!" Harry said storming up the steps. Hermione hit Ron.
"Good job! Now's he mad!" Ron pulled Hermione out of her chair.
"If you weren't such a suck up, then maybe he wouldn't be mad!" Hermione pulled his hair.
"You are the one who told me where he kept it!" Ron said pushing Hermione to the ground. Hermione got up and stormed away much like Harry. Ron sat for a minute, then ran up the stairs the moment he saw a huge spider crawl across the floor.
"Don't you want to see what happened after their date?" she asked. Harry shrugged.
"Well of course, but why tonight? Why not tomorrow night or something?" Harry hissed back. Hermione moved closer to Harry.
"Because I want to know, and Ron wants to know. Come on Harry, please oh please! This can be the last entry for a whole week if you want." Hermione begged.
