A/N: Yay Damiani! *Waves* You are the only one (as of yet) who reviewed chapter 4! Thanks a bunch! I hope you guys are enjoying this. Cuz I'm working hard to get these chapters all up! Look at this only one chapter left after this! Then I'll probably take a bit of a break from this series and try and get my other story going! Actually I am in desperate need of a beta reader for that story. Just click on my name and get to my bio then read the story that's not a From the Diary . . . story and if you want to be my beta reader email me! I beg of you! But for right now just read this and review it if you want. It would be greatly appreciated though! Thanks!

Chapter 5: March and April
March 3, 1973
Dear Diary,
All right last night was so cool. I was sitting in the common room working (what's new there?) and it was totally late like 11:30 or so. The whole common room was empty. I was so wrapped up in the essay I was writing I didn't even notice when someone sat down beside me. It totally scared me when they started talking. It was James. I could tell even before I looked at him. And when I did look up he was staring down at me out of his huge chocolate eyes. He's got awesome eyes. They just go on forever. He told me to come with him, he said that he had a way for us to get into the Restricted section. He pulled out this silvery thing it looked like water woven into cloth. It was beautiful. And it's an invisibility cloak! It works totally well, I can see straight through James when he puts it on. So he put it around us and we spent hours in the library looking for that stupid book on Animagi! We finally got back to the common room at like 2:30 and we were both exhausted. I just got up (it's 12:30) and James is still sleeping. So Sirius was glad we found the book, but he was also a bit mad that we didn't wake him up to have him come with us. Come to think of it I don't really know why James didn't insist on getting Sirius. I'll have to ask him. Later.

Dear Diary,
Okay I totally had THE best day of my whole life. You know how this year I'm supposed to have my 1st boyfriend? I do! Eeee! It was totally unexpected! I was in Herbology this morning pruning Devil's Snares. It was really hot and humid in the greenhouse so I was all sweaty and my hair went flat. Basically I looked terrible. Well just as I was packing up my thing Ted Mapleleef came over and started talking to me. I've never really talked to him before, I mean we've always had Herbology with the Ravenclaws but I've never had a real conversation with Ted. He told me that he's been working up the courage to talk to me all year. I thought it was so cute! He's a sweetie and really funny and we totally hit it off. So when he asked me to be his girlfriend I said yes! We're gonna study together and he even asked me if I wanted to come eat at the Ravenclaw table with him sometime. Yay!
-Love-

Dear Diary,
So I've been together with Ted for a week now. He's so great! I've had a totally great week. Ted is so much fun. We got for walks around the lake and we talk and stuff. We actually have a lot in common we're both muggle-born and we both have a younger sister. We both like quidditch and we both get really good marks. I'm way glad I get to know him, he's totally cool!

Dear Diary,
Well I finally got around to looking at that book. And guess what! The damn spells aren't' even in the damn book! It told us we have to get another book called The Spells For and Scary Complications of Becoming an Animagus. How nuts it that! So now we have to go and get that book too! That will be in the Restricted section too! I'm gonna have to ask James if I can borrow his cloak!

Dear Diary,
Me and James went back to the library last night. This time Sirius insisted on coming. I really didn't mind. Why would I? So we got the book and it was a lot easier this time considering we know where the Animagi section is. So it only took us like 20 minutes or so. But with the 3 of us under that cloak it wasn't quick business trying to walk somewhere. We couldn't make any noises in case Filch or his rotten cat heard us. So we get half way back to Gryffindor tower when Sirius decides he's hungry. He drags me and James down to the kitchens with him while he gets himself a midnight snack. The great oaf! He's always eating. He never stops I swear! Even now we just had lunch and he's trying to convince someone to go down to the kitchens with him! Boys! Okay so back onto last night. While we were sitting in the kitchens waiting for Sirius to eat I remembered that I wanted to ask James why he didn't have Sirius or Peter come along with us to the library the first night we went. So I asked him and he said that he really didn't know but it was probably because they were already asleep. I dunno I guess that's a good reason but I don't see why he couldn't just was them up.

Dear Diary,
Yesterday was Mum's birthday. I totally forgot until like 3 seconds ago. I didn't even get her a card of anything. I feel totally bad! I'm gonna make her a card in a bit and send it to her tonight. Then at least she'll get something from me, even if it is late! Eee! I hope she's not upset. I hate it when she's upset with me!
Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. The guys have all these pranks lined up. They've got about 6 for evil Snapey-poo! Ha ha poor thing! Oh wait do I feel sorry for him? *searches within* nope not in the least! Then the guys got some for other Slytherins, James has a prank planned for all of his ex-girlfriends (and that's a lot!). Plus the have one for Dumbledore, BUT they won't let Brooke, Meg, or me in on ANY of them! I dunno why. Usually they're happy for the help. Boys, who gets 'em?
Today is boring. Yesterday was important, tomorrow is fun, but today is boring. It's just a boring old Saturday. I don't even have any homework to do. Aggh! I have to go find something to do. I'll go find Ted, see if he wants to go for a walk.

Dear Diary,
POTTER, LUPIN, PETER, AND BLACK!!! Right now I could shoot them all. Because of them I've got blue hair and the seat of my robes are torn. They put Sticking charms on Farah's, Brooke's, Meg's, and my seats at breakfast then they dumped muggle hair dye on us so it won't come out for 3 weeks! Also the idiots put firecrackers beneath Dumbledore's chair. He luckily found it quite amusing in the spirit of the day. All of James' ex-girlfriends were singing odes to him every time they opened their mouths. Most of them stopped trying to talk by lunchtime. And lastly all the Slytherins' robes glowed scarlet all day and read "Go Gryffindor!" in huge letters! That part was funny but I'm not too happy about me hair. 3 weeks of blueness! *Sniff* At least I'm not Farah, her hair is a screaming pink. So since all of the guys' pranks worked they've earned themselves the name the Marauders. That's was everyone is calling them now!

Dear Diary,
Ted told me I was beautiful even with blue hair. He's totally sweet. I like him so much! Oh and the full moon's tonight. I hope Remus is okay.

Dear Diary,
I just got back form the quidditch match. We beat Hufflepuff! 190-30! It was so awesome. James played totally well. I'm so proud of him! So I think there's a party starting up around here. Sirius, Remus, and Peter just went to get some food and some people are putting up the banners that they brought to the match. The team should be back soon. But I dunno I'm only sorta in a party mood. I was thinking about Ted. I just saw him and I know he wants to kiss me, but I dunno I can't see myself kissing him. I don't feel like I should. Ooh team's coming. Time to party. *Half-heartedly* Woo-hoo!

Dear Diary,
Today is Remus' birthday and I totally didn't even know. He just acted like it was a normal day all morning. Both he and I didn't even go to breakfast. We sat in the common room and did some of the butt-load of homework we have this weekend. So when we went to lunch I was shocked to find James and Sirius and Peter clad in party hats with noisemakers. Actually the whole Gryffindor table had hats on. So did Professor Masenelly. James and Sirius grabbed each of Remus' arms and frog-marched him to a seat in the center of the table (but not before plunking a hat on both mine and Remus' head and sticking a noisemaker in my mouth). It was totally funny. The whole table was giggly by the time lunch was over. I love birthdays!

Dear Diary,
Easter holidays start tomorrow! Yay! A whole week off and guess what I get to do? 4 essays for Slywarki (b*tch), 2 for Binns, 1 for McGonnagall, 1 for Masenelly, and 1 for Shell! Grr! That's more than 1 a day! I'm gonna have no free time at all! *Sniff* see what I mean about holidays? Teachers love our stress! My hair's gonna fall out because of it!
-Love-
