December 25
Dear Diary,
Today was Christmas! I love Christmas! It was fun. I got Lavender and Parvati both these cool necklaces, and I got Hermione a book. I got my brother Ron, a moving figurine of a Chudley Cannons player. He's trying to collect them all. I won't go into what I got everyone else right now.
Lavender got me this really nice scented thing, it levitates in the center of your room and lets out different scents. Parvati got me a whole bunch of different candies from Honeydukes. And Hermione, of course, got me a book. Colin got me a wonderful present. He got me my own camera. Wow. It's really cool.
Oh, Lavender and Dean broke up about a week ago, so she didn't have a date to the Yule Ball.
Ah yes, I know you're waiting to hear about the Yule Ball. Well, I thought about asking Chris, but I decided against it. I didn't want to risk losing a friendship.
It was probably the most fun dance ever. Why? Because I didn't have to worry about whether some guy was going to dance with me or not. I mostly hung out with this Ravenclaw girl, Mallory. We had the best time. She knows all these really cool dance moves that she teaches me, and then we make up our own awesome dances.
I also danced with my twin brothers' friend, Lee Jordan. Not that it's anything to tell my friends or that it means anything, considering that he's like a brother to me, and that he's gay. I'd never really known anyone gay before, but now, I see they're no different than anyone else.
Anyway, I tried to hang out with Lavender, but sometimes she's just impossible. Have you ever heard about those guys that are so nice when you're alone with them, but when they're with their friends they almost completely ignore you? That's how it is with Lavender.
And she'll say things, and I wouldn't know if she's joking or not. She won't tell me who she likes. At first she said it was a secret, and no one knew, but all her other friends, like Parvati and others, know. I feel like I haven't been a good friend to her. I don't know what I did. I feel like she doesn't trust me. I don't know.
She hasn't been acting like a true friend. I've always trusted her. If I had a secret, she was the first one I'd tell. She knows that. If I could pick one person in the whole world to be my best friend, it would be Lavender. But I realize that will probably never happen. I think I should talk to her. I'm so upset. But I won't know what to say. I don't know what to do.
Love,
Ginny

Dear Diary,
All right, I guess I feel bad for being mean to Lavender. Not to her face, of course, but in here, and in my thoughts. She finally told me who she likes. It was Terry Boot, and she didn't want to tell me because she was afraid I still liked him.
Of course, I don't. I thought she knew that. I can't help thinking that was just an excuse... well, maybe I'm being too paranoid. Of course she's my friend, but why am I so suspicious of her?
Anyway, I feel so bad for my brother George today. Sure, he's a prankster, and he's Fred's twin, but they're not exactly the same. George is quieter (of the two), and... I guess he's more brotherly towards me than Fred. Not that Fred isn't, but George is more so. I've always gotten along extremely well with George, more like he was an older friend than a brother.
George was sitting in the common room, and he looked like he was going to cry. I didn't say anything right away, but finally, I went over to him and said, "Are you all right?"
He responded, "No. Someone's hurt me." I didn't say anything, and he continued, spilling out his story. "Someone who I never thought would hurt me."
He looked so sad, so I just gave him a big hug. He smiled at me weakly.
I went to the library with Lavender, and when I came back, George was still there, looking upset. I gave him another hug. He said, "You really don't know what this is about, do you?"
I suspected it had to do with Fred, because he had been avoiding George all night. But I wasn't sure, so I just said, "Not really."
Later, when we were all alone, George came up to me and said, "Ginny, you're a smart girl, you're a good student. You've figured out who it is, haven't you?" he paused, and I slowly nodded. It had to be Fred. George continued. "Yeah, it's the only other person here that also seems upset."
Yup, that was Fred. George went on to explain to me that he had talked to "that person" and Fred had explained things, but it didn't make sense to George.
I think George was just telling me all this to put his own feelings into words. Because I didn't really know what exactly was going on. But I want George to know that I'll always be there for him, and I'll always be his sister.
Love,
Ginny
