The Journal of Dean Thomas
Chapter 5-Friday
Friday
Today has been a very boring day so far. I guess that that is better than it being a horrible day, but it would have been nice if something exciting happened. I haven't even gotten to see Ginny today. Seeing her usually always cheers me up. We got tons of homework from Professor McGonagall, as usually. Oh well, maybe Hermione will help me with it. I haven't talk to her in a while. I wonder what she has been up to lately. She has been kind of quiet these past couple of days. I haven't even seen her talk to Harry and Ron much lately. It seems like she has something really important on her mind. I suppose that the next time I see her, I will be sure to try and get her to tell me what has been bugging her. I wonder if her and Ron had another fight? They are always fighting. Sometimes it seems to me like they're married or something. Hermione has really changed over the years. I remember when we were in our first year at Hogwarts. During the first half of the year nobody like her much because she knew everything and she seemed so stuck up. I seemed like she was so much better than all of the other Gryffindor first years. She used to be so uptight and she had to have everything perfect. Now, she still studies all of the time, but she actually breaks rules sometimes. I wonder if it has anything to do with being around Harry and Ron all of the time. They would all be different if they weren't friends. Harry and Ron have learned so much from Hermione. She's so smart and she always seems to have the answer. Actually, they probably would have been expelled by now, or worse, they could be dead. Ron and Harry have caused Hermione to loosen up a lot, and they have taught her that not everything is learned by reading books. I wonder how many friends she would have now if she hadn't been change by Harry and Ron. It's like they were always meant to be best friends. They fit together perfectly. Oh, here comes Hermione. I better catch her now if I want to go talk to her.
Later on that Night
I talked to Hermione in the common room for a little over an hour. It turns out that she had just gotten a letter from Viktor Krum. Apparently they have been writing each other since the triwizard tournament which was held during our fourth year. She cares for him a lot. I guess I was right, she does like someone. I figured it was Ron. He has had his eye on her for ages, but I don't think he would even admit that to himself, much less to her. Anyway, , I guess she has really missed Krum. She hasn't seen him since last summer and they must have gotten very close when she went to his house and visited him. I think she loves him. She can't tell Ron because he'll get extremely jealous and she can't tell Harry because he will tell Ron. Hermione desperately needed someone to talk to, so I let her tell me everything. I pretty much let her do the same thing she always lets me do. Hermione told me that Viktor told her that he loved her. I think she feels the same way but is afraid of what Ron and Harry will say. Poor Hermione. She has to tell Harry and Ron that she has been seeing Viktor Krum. Ron will be upset, but I think that Harry will understand. I tried to tell Hermione that she has to tell Harry and Ron, and that the sooner she tells them, the easier it'll be. I think that Viktor Krum told her the same thing, and that was why she was so upset. From what she told me it sounds like Krum is very serious about their relationship and that he doesn't want to keep it a secret any longer. I wonder what she'll do. Whatever she does, I'm sure she'll make the right choice.
A/N-Yeah, I wrote 718 words on this chapter! What do you think of this chapter? I tried to put some of the different things that are happening at Hogwarts in this chapter. Umm, I can't say to much because I have to go to practice now. I just want to say thanks to my reviewers! I appreciate all of the reviews that I get!
