A/N OK, may I first begin by correcting myself. In the first chapter, I mentioned a cliched fic. Unfortunately, my spell check preferred clinched. Wonder what it would make of "splinched" ?

Thanks to all who reviewed, and asked for more (try and stop me), especially to "Dulcis" who wrote the first review AND was there to calm my post-posting nerves.


Journal 2 - "I Do Have an Inner Eye!
I knew I wouldn't write in a journal every day, but things HAVE been interesting since I arrived home from Hogwarts. It turns out I was right about some of those feelings that there was going to be a mystery revealed. Wish I could go throw that in Trelawney's face, the old fraud! What did she say about me? That I had no aura, or some foolish thing? But Mum says she and Sibyl never saw eye to eye, guess Mum didn't have any aura, or an "Inner eye" either! As it turns out though, she has a lot of other things. Yes, my mum, Dr. Ivy Granger is a witch, and quite a powerful one! Ooh, poor Draco Malfoy, can't sneer and call me mudlood, now that everyone will knowMum is a witch. He'll still sneer though, as I'm not pure blooded, but I reckon we can't take away all his fun at once.

Harry's Uncle Vernon did agree to let Harry come work for Mum and Dad, and he says for the first time, he's been having some fun in the summer, without going to visit Ron. Things have been different with Harry, and that's been interesting too. We have both had a lot of new information and I don't know which of us has had the bigger shock. Harry says it reminds him a bit of when he was told he's a wizard.

I found out why Mum became so angry when she found out the Dursleys mistreated Harry all those years- Lily Evans was Mum's greatest friend! They even considered her as their secret-keeper, but she was a new mum then, and like Lily was wrapped up in protecting her child. After Lily and James were killed, Mum left the magical world, out of, she says, a broken heart and a desire to keep her family safe. Now Mum has someone to share the feeling of guilt with. Perhaps if she hadn't been protesting me, Harry would have parents today. Harry says it's silly to feel that way,that it could just as easily have turned out neither of us had parents or that I might not be here. He had a very odd look on his face when he said that, almost as if, do I dare write this... as if the idea of not having me around horrified him! As I said, life has become interesting. Being with Harry, here, away from Ron and schoolwork, and quidditch, has been like, well almost like knowing another Harry. Sometimes he even seems to lose that sad, serious look that's always in his eyes, even at the happiest moments. I hope there'll be lots of times like that, this summer, because none of us knows what we're facing, with Voldemort now becoming stronger.

Sooo much has happened in a couple of days. Important things to me and to Harry, anyway! Harry sort of guessed something was up, and Mum had asked us to go do some shopping for her. I was upstairs changing and Mum wound up spilling the whole story to Harry. Well, she had to, part of it, since she was sending us to Diagon Alley. I wish I could have seen his face when he found out our mothers had been friends!

That was the beginning of a day like none I'd ever had with Harry! We went shopping for Muggle clothes for him, since Mum was finally able to give something to her best friend's son! I realize now how stupid and blind I was before. Just because I didn't care about clothes, still living as a muggle in the summers away from Hogwarts, I could have helped Harry get some clothes of his own, that fit. He was so pleased, and trying so hard not to show how excited he was to have regular clothes, ones he didn't swim in! I absolutely wanted to run away bawling, but I knew that would be even more embarrassing for both of us Besides, I'd appear barking mad (again).

We saw Draco Malfoy in a muggle bookstore that I dragged Harry to, he was his usual insulting self, but this time, when he started up, Harry reached out and held onto my hand. That may have been merely to keep himself from punching Draco with that hand, but he didn't let go!

It turned out no punches were needed, because Draco's mum, who at first looked as if she was pure ice, put Draco in his place nicely. She seemed positively human, even told Harry his mom had been a lovely girl. Draco was furious at the set down she gave him, in front of us lowly Gryffindors! What a memory!

No more tonight, Harry is spending the night here, and my newly discovered "inner eye" tells me he's going to be in the kitchen soon, rummaging for a snack. I think I'll join him! After a day like this, anything could happen!
