Dear Diary,

Sorry I haven't written in like sooo long. OK it's only been a week. But I've been busy. Actually, I've been shopping, hehe. See, the Spring Fling is coming up and I want this dress I found in Hogsmead. It's shiny Caribbean Sea-blue and has a slit that goes up to my left knee. It has also a sort of turtleneck with short sleeves. Kinda like those Chinese dresses. Thank God I still have Christmas money left. Well, Cynthia and Cedric have been going steady for about a week (duh!) and he's taking her to the Spring Fling (need I say DUH?). As for Sara, Loupe, Ally, and me, we are tight again. We decided to just mix the dance up, just as we had originally planned. Sara decided it would be cool in the end. In other news, Sara is going to the Spring Fling with Roger Davies from Ravenclaw. Loupe is going with...............LEE JORDAN!! Whoohoo!! Um Ally is going with George. I hope she can handle him because she is so calm and he is well, NOT. Hehe. As for me, well, Oliver asked me to the Spring Fling. He said he liked me and that he really wanted me to go with him. The majority of me wanted to shout: "OMG! Oliver Wood asked ME to the Spring Fling!" But a tiny part inside of me was saying: "This is not right, you are not meant to be with him." Well I totally ignored that, but I sort of hesitated when he asked me: "Oh Oliver, I um, I would love to go to the Spring Fling with you." And then I smiled. So what if I was not meant to be with Oliver? I'm only 13 and a half! I have my whole life to decide whom to be with, I think. I really don't think I'll find my "Prince Charming" at Hogwarts...or will I? Well as it turns out, Divination taught me nothing about what had happened. So what if Love Potions can last up to almost two months? No one cares because they are illegal at Hogwarts! The other day, the girls and I were in the Three Broomsticks having a butterbeer when Sara brought up the whole "Cedric liking me thing"...

"OMG! Why is Cedric kissing Cynthia?" Asked Sara when she saw them in the back of the Three Broomsticks.
"Um cause they are going out?" I said, stating the obvious.
"Yeah, they've been like that for nearly a week." Added Loupe.
"How could you NOT know?" Asked Ally, "The whole school knows!"
"But...but I thought he liked YOU, Connie!" Exclaimed Sara.
"Well that's what I thought, until I saw them making out in the Girl's Locker Room." I told her.
"But...but..." She said.
"Hey it's OK, I don't like him." I said.
"Are we going to work on our dance for the Talent Show or not?" Asked Loupe, annoyed.
"Yes, I agree. We are wasting our time!" Agreed Ally.
"I want to know what's going on!" Said Sara, determined. As Cedric got up to go to the counter, Sara walked over to the table where Cynthia was sitting and sat down.
"Excuse me, this seat is taken." Snapped Cynthia.
"Oh yeah? By who? Your "boyfriend?" I don't know what you did, but Cedric did not start liking you out of the blue!" Said Sara.
"What do you mean? Just because you are ugly doesn't mean that you can go accusing people." Cynthia replied as she put some lipgloss on.
"Bitch! I'll find out what you're doing..." Said Sara and she turned around and came back to us. We had heard the whole conversation. Got to stop writing. Someone's coming.

Later: OK that was close. If that person had come in one second earlier, my diary-keeping days would be over. It just happened that that person was Oliver. He came in and sat down next to me on my bed...

"Connie, thank you." He said softly. Officially freaked by his um kindness (not saying that he's not nice, he's just extremely hyper all the time. I guess it's because of Quidditch.), I smiled and replied: "For what?"
"For agreeing to go to the Spring Fling with me." He told me.
"Um, no problem?" I said.
"If you had said no, I don't know what I would've done. I mean, we are friends but I want us to be more..." Oliver said. Right about then, I froze. OK, I did like Oliver but did I really want to be his girl friend? I hesitated. Why is it that every time Oliver asks me a question about him and me do I hesitate? Could it be that I don't want to be with him? OMG! What am I saying? I'm 13 and a half! I'm not supposed to be thinking about this! Luckily, I couldn't answer Oliver because Fred and George came waltzing in. They wanted me to help them with their Potions paper. I was already done so I did help them. I started to avoid Oliver after that. Well, I better stop writing. I have to go to bed and Loupe is bitching at me to turn off the lights. Bye.
