Dear Diary,

Recently I bought a copy of Teen Witch because there was an interesting article in there. It was about How To Tell The Boy I Love How I Feel. I thought it might help me to express my feelings for Wormtail.

In the article it said that Wormtail liked to feel strong and had an instinctive urge to protect me from danger and fear. The article advised to dress up, then feign fear in a certain situation, make my fear clear to Wormtail and then ask him to take me somewhere else - dancing for example.

So I waited until a thunderstorm was forecast, put on the banana yellow robes decorated with little hearts, and sat with Wormtail on the porch. As soon as the first thunderbolts were crashing down, I snuggled up against Wormtail, laid my head on his shoulder and said in a terrified whisper, "Thunderstorms are really scary! Do you mind taking me somewhere else? Dancing for example?"

I don't know why, but somehow it didn't work out the way it should. Even though I did everything according to Teen Witch. But Wormtail gave me a horrified sort of look as though I was completely bonkers and ran away.

I spent the rest of the day crying into my favourite robes and now they're wet!
