Dear Diary,

I am so confused, you know? Draco hasn't asked me to visit him in awhile, and in public he's still kinda mean to me. I just want to erase the nice memories with him away, or else make him stay nice. This was is too hard, I just want to forget about him.

I've been thinking about Chris. He's so nice, and he's really fun to be with. I don't know why I can't ask him out, I guess maybe it's because I don't want to lose our friendship.

I've always thought romance was about the little things. I mean, long passionate kisses are nice, I'm sure, but there are those little things...

Like holding hands, hugging, and wrapping your arm around the one you love. Another is that he'll give you his coat when you're cold. I've always imagined that little scene, you're cold and your guy gives up his cloak for you.

It happened today. We were outside for Care Of Magical Creatures, and I had forgotten my cloak. I was cold, and I mentioned it to Chris. He immeadiately took off his cloak and handed it to me. "Here, you wear it."

I was so excited! I gave it back to him after class, but I smelled like Chris the rest of the day. It was wonderful. He's so sweet.

I want to like him, but he's a good friend... I'm so confused, I don't know who the right guy for me is!

Love,

Ginny

Dear Diary,

Oh my god, oh my god! You won't believe what happened. I'm so happy! Okay, let me start from the beginning.

We were in the common room after dinner, and I was talking to Chris. I had finally decided that I was going to "like" him, and I wanted to let him know it. I figured I could drop little hints and see what happened.

Well, I kept leaning on his shoulder or doing little things like that just to show him I liked him. Finally, about an hour later, he put his arm around me. That was the most amazing feeling, because it was then that I knew he liked me too.

We stayed like that for a little while, and it just felt so good. I then put my arm around him so we were hugging and I put my head on my shoulder.

I knew what would happen if I lifted my head up- I knew, I could just feel it. I knew he would try and kiss me. So it was then that I had to decide if I wanted him to kiss me.

I decided I did. I lifted my face up, and he kissed me. It was just short, but on the lips. I put my head on his shoulder again, and my hair fell to one side. He kissed my neck, and when I lifted my head up again he kissed me again, but longer this time.

I was so excited, so happy. I've never really been kissed before- one little peck on the cheek from Neville, and that's about it. I was so scared and nervous, but I was okay.

I didn't really care how many people were watching- though quite a few people knew by the end of the night. We stayed together for the rest of the evening, and he had his arm around me. When I finally went upstairs, he hugged me and kissed me goodnight.

It was so amazing, and at the same time almost frightening. I really couldn't believe it; I thought I must have been dreaming. It all happened so suddenly, I never dreamed he'd kiss me.

Chris kissed me. CHRIS KISSED ME! Man, this is crazy. He's so sweet and nice, and this is so perfect. Why do I feel so nervous about seeing him again tomorrow? You'd think I wouldn't be, since I obviously know that he likes me. I feel like I have a million butterflies in my stomach! I'm pretty sure I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Love,

Ginny

A/N: I'm so excited, because... this guy kissed me last night! And so, the inspiration for this chapter. Same as Ginny, because it was my first "real" kiss, although mine was not in the common room (lol). It was actually backstage of a theater, because I had rehearsal for a show. And I feel exactly the way Ginny does now! I'm seeing him again tonight, and I'm so nervous. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, I tried to put as much feeling into it as possible. Please review!
