Hermione's Confession
Disclaimer: OK…here goes the typical spiel – I don't own anything HP related – it all belongs to a certain Miss JK Rowling…that genius woman who invented the characters…
A/N: This is my first HP fic, so please be a bit gentle in reviewing, although I will always accept constructive criticism.

Dear Diary,
I've got a confession to make. But I can't make it just yet. The reason being that I am in the Gryffindor common room and Harry and Ron are playing chess nearby. They always laugh at me for writing in my diary, and if they saw what I'm going to be writing in here, they would go wicked crazy. But I suppose wizard's chess will keep them entranced for a while – and I've yet to see Harry win. He may be the "Boy Who Lived", but he sure isn't "The Boy Who Is Good At Chess". Nope, the boy who is good at chess is dear old Ronniekins. Well don't I sound sentimental? I have every right to sound sentimental though, it's seventh year after all. I love seventh year! Not to brag, but (as you already know) I am Head Girl! I *love* being Head Girl! Except, of course, for the fact that a certain Mr. Malfoy is Head Boy. How he ever got picked for Head Boy, I'll never know. He is such a slimy, conniving, wicked boy.
Oh no! Ron has just beat Harry yet again! And now Harry's pieces are angry – I don't think they can stand defeat anymore. They seem to have turned on Harry…poor boy, I'd better go over there and see if there is anything I can do.
[half an hour later]
Ok, I'm back diary! Bloody hell, those chess pieces are not easily cheered up. Fortunately for them, I let Harry play me in chess, and I cannot for the life of me win a game of chess. Oh no, here comes McGonagall…this means curfew time…we've all got to get to our dorms now. Lucky for me, being Head Girl has a few advantages – like my own room all to myself! I am so glad not to have the dorm next to Lavender and Parvati anymore – those girls giggle until dawn, I swear! But I *do* still have to abide by the curfew rules…so it's off to my room I go…I'll continue my tale as soon as I'm ready for bed.
[1 hour later]
Ok, so it took an hour. But I was taking a shower! You can forgive me, can't you? Oh, I suppose you've been waiting to hear what my confession is, haven't you. I suppose I'll have to tell you then. I feel silly telling this to a diary, but I really hope no one ever ever ever ever reads this! It all started in Potions today. At least, that's when I noticed it. I was helping Neville (as usual) with the potion we were assigned to do, when Snape, in usual Snape fashion, snuck up behind me and I swear I could feel his eyes boring into my back as I worked. It was distracting me, and I was afraid that I would mess up the potion, so I turned around to ask him if I was doing anything wrong, if that's why he was staring. When I turned around, I almost hit his nose, his face was so close to mine. And he eyes were looking straight back into mine. And…here comes the part I have trouble saying…well, he has really beautiful eyes. I never noticed that before. And his skin isn't really so bad up close. And his nose isn't really all that long. And his hair isn't too greasy…and and…and I think he's actually quite handsome. There, I said it. I think I have a crush on Professor Snape. Mean, disgusting, evil Professor Snape. When he was that close to me, I felt like if other students had not been in the classroom, I might have been tempted to actually kiss him! And well, I really don't know exactly why, but I felt a tingle all up and down my spine when he looked at me today. It was a good kind of tingle too. And I don't know what to do. Can I tell Harry and Ron? No – they'll freak out! And I can't tell any girls because they will get all giggly and soon everyone will know. And I certainly don't want *that* to happen! Because once certain people know, it could easily get back to … well back to Snape – and I most definitely do NOT want HIM to know…or do I? Well, it's getting late now, and I have – oh no! – I have Potions first class tomorrow! Nooo!!!!!
Love,
Hermione
