Author's Note:
The winner of the little competition from last chapter was LisaQT3!! ::Squin hands
her a big bag of Oliver-flavoured Bertie Botts and awards 20 Points to Gryffindor:: She got the complete right answer, with the reason and the
reason for the reason: It is because Ginny told him that Hermione picked Draco over him
about the whole who would you want to spend the end of existence with? or
whatever question! That is totally why Ron said he wasn't going to the Ball Because
he figured Hermione wouldn't want to go with him. (Oh that poor, precious boy!!
Don't worry baby, we all love you!
Especially in a towel But I promise Hermione will see the light eventually!)
YAY! Well done! :o) The runner up is Lady Norbert, who got it half right, and was also the
first person to enter. Plus she's cool ;o)
::Squin hands Lady N her Oliver-beans::
Now, since it took me so long, this is a pretty long chapter as an early Xmas prezzie for everyone who's been waiting patiently (and not so patiently, all those who practially sent death threats! lol!) over the last week for this (I've had my nose stuck in The Fellowship of the Ring for the last few of days. Why didn't anybody tell me earlier how cool it was? Thank you James Bow!). Enjoy! :o)
The Goddess Diaries - Part Nine
| Thursday Night Grandmamma says,
Well, of course the boy likes you. What wouldn't he like? You are turning out very well, thanks to
Paolo's handiwork and my tutelage. I wish I could tell Ginny about Draco Malfoy speaking to me. |
| Friday 25 October 2001, Transfiguration MERLIN'S BEARD!!! I wish I were: |
| More Friday You will not even
believe what just happened. I was in the
library looking up something for my Runes essay on Stonehenge, and Draco Malfoy was there,
in the aisle where the book I wanted was. He
saw me and smiled and I smiled back, and then I totally started concentrating on looking
for a book. Any book. Then he goes, in this totally casual way, Hey, Hermione, who
you going to the Ball with tomorrow? Things to do: |
| Friday, After Flying OK, so I
don't know who Ginny Weasley thinks she is. First she stops talking to me. Then, when
she finally does deign to speak to me, it's only to criticize me some more. What
right has she got, I ask you, to dump all over my Halloween Ball date? I mean, she's
going with Harry Potter. Harry Potter. Yeah, he might be The Boy Who Lived and all,
but he's still Harry Potter. But not bad enough not to go. From now on I will: |
| Friday Night I was pretty
worried about my lesson with Grandmamma today, but she had pretty much gotten over me
yelling at her yesterday about the press. She was totally into helping me figure out what
I'm going to wear tomorrow night, just like I knew she would. She got on the floo
with Madam Malkin, and set up an appointment for tomorrow to pick something out. It will
have to be a rush job, and will cost a fortune, but she says she doesn't care: it
will be my first formal event as a representative of Mount Olympus, and I have to
sparkle' (her word, not mine). |
| Saturday October 27 2001 This
morning I got a note from Professor McGonagall at breakfast, which said that Mum wanted to
talk to me about something so would I please go to her (Prof McG's) office at 10. |
To be continued...
A/N2: Well, after over month, the finale of this little escapade into HP Crossover land should (and I emphasise the word should) be up by the end of this week! I almost don't want it to end! ::sniff:: Will Hermione snap out of her little starry-eyed dellusion? What has Draco really got in mind? Will Ron manage to tell Hermione how he feels or will he continue with the whole pissed-off thing? Find out in Part Ten, because, and I'll let you all know now, this will NOT be ending exactly like The Princess Diairies!!! ::foreboding pleonastic music:: Oh, what fun!!! ::evil Voldemort-ish laughter:: Oh, well, it won't be THAT bad, just not exactly the same :o)
Princess in Love: OK, I have absolutely no idea how TPD3 got published in Australia before it was published in the US. I mean, it's written by an American, about an American and set in America. And we always get EVERYTHING like 2 months later! I think the UK/Aus publishers (Pan Macmillan) must have gotten carried away. Anyway. If any of you guys are desperate to get your hands on a copy, you can order online it from www.dymocks.com.au – just search for Cabot, Meg in the search box and select the author' button. Remember that the Aussie dollar is worth shite, so it actually shouldn't be that expensive if you're really, really desperate ;o) Oh and it's in British/Australian English so color = colour and cell phones = mobiles etc, but hey you can wait until April if you WANT ;o) You guys are right, I should SO totally get paid for this!!! ;o) I guess if I ever get sued, I can just say I was doing our dear MC a BIG favour!
