Disclaimer: I'm working on it but I still don't own Harry Potter. I mean JK Rowling is just being a stinker each time I call and asked if I can write book 5 and publish it as its taking her a coons age to get it out. Damn woman but don't get me wrong . she's a genius!

A/N: So did you guys like that last chapter? I hope you did . I was going to hold out for a few days and let you sit with chapter 8's cliffy but then thought that that would be too evil of me and you know that I'm never evil! In addition, thank you ilovechoclate for the chocolate can The Queen of the Tinfoil Fish have some too? She said she wanted some. On to chapter 10 . OMG is it already chapter 10??? Party at my house to celebrate 10 chapters of "The Sweetest Things" Bring a dish to pass.. With food in it. I was being a smart butt at our bands picnic last year I just brought an empty dish stating that it never said that it had to be full. MMMKAY Tekki lets get back to HP and not your demented humor.

Hermione floated out of DADA with a grin that told everyone that she was in Nirvana (A/N is that right? Are there any Hindus out there to tell me? I thought Heaven was too cliché.). She couldn't even believe it herself. 'The prettiest smile I have ever seen on a girl' Lupin's words kept floating through her head random parts of the day. Whenever she thought about this, that blissful smile was back intact making her feel that she wanted to burst into giggles like a little pre-teen girl that just received her first awkward kiss on the mouth by a boy that 3 years later she would never remember. (A/N has that ever happened to anyone else . I cant remember that name of the guy I had my first kiss from. sad sad thing) Once during potions, she had been smiling all the time that Snape criticized her for being a know-it-all. When he asked what she was so happy about she just gazed off into his direction and smiled some more. Afterward she thought 'Oh great now Snape probably think I'm turned on by his hair that when ringed out provides the oil for McDonalds fires.'

That night at around 6:30, Hermione gathered her things for her detention with Lupin. 'This is the first detention that I ever looked forward" she mumbled to herself as she shoved a quill and inkbottles into her bag. She reached across her bed for her DADA book dragging it along with it the diary. She threw the textbook in to the bag next to the quill and ink. She was going to set the diary aside but she felt that urge once again to read an entry or two, 'Just one then' she told herself.

Sitting down at the edge of her bed, she opened to a page towards the back.

Hello there old pal, almost another year to be thrown into my drawer of wasted years and years of loneliness. Don't get me wrong my friends are great and I trust them with some of my deepest secrets but not all. I don't want to burden them with my petty problems and concerns. The Yule Ball is in three days but at least this time I have a date. A nice girl named Disa Harwood. She's a 5th year Ravenclaw that was in my Herbolgy study group. She's nice enough but has her head in the clouds most of the time. She also has one of those smiles that never reach her eyes. James thought I liked her or something because I stopped her in the hall to ask a question so he thought it would be so smart of him to ask her to the ball for me. I didn't angry just a little irritated. I had been planning to stay in my dorm and finish my holiday work but no such luck. Instead, I'm forced to show her my two left feet on the dance floor for the evening. I never feel comfortable at balls anyway. Only with a true love, I wouldn't mind. I know there's one out there I just don't know where to look right now. Last night was the full moon and thankfully, it wasn't as painful as last month's transformation. The Maurders raided Hogsmeade last night. Sirius stole some laundry from some old dears clothesline and then dug a hole right in the middle of the yard and tried burying Peter. He almost succeeded too. We didn't get back to the castle until early morning and I had actually transformed coming in through the gates. It was a long night and I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Good night.

Hermione smiled as she put aside the diary. 'Does he always worry about balls?' He seemed so unsure of his worthyness of a date. He wanted love but he didn't like any of his options.picky picky boy. Looking at the time she pulled her hair up into a low pony tail and set off for his office.

A/N this is just basiclly filler since I don't have much time tonight. Its not suppose to be anything life shaking. Enjoy and R+R . I love reviews even flames!!! So set to it! Oh yeah I don't think I'll get to another chapter toady because I have to work this morning and then help an Aunt Marge double move even closer to where I live! She use to live 90 miles away now she movingin 9 miles away
