A/N: Beta read by Luinthoron and Puzzler. I wouldn't be as far as I am now without them. Thank you, Luintoron and Puzzler! Oh, and before I forget. There's a longer author's note at the end of this chapter, explaining some aspects of this story.


Dear Diary...

It's just not fair! How come Harry can get away with everything just beacuse he's famous, The Boy Who Lived, The Great Harry Potter! Oh... I'm just so mad at him! He goes and breaks the rules. He hasn't done anything else since our arrival here at Hogwarts, and does he get expelled? No! Does he at least get punished? NO! He didn't even get a BLOODY DETENTION FOR ACTING AGAINST THE TEACHER'S ORDERS! You've certainly already guessed what I'm talking about. It's the first flying lesson. He breaks the rules AND he makes it on to the Gryffindor Quidditch team! As if he wasn't famous enough without being the youngest house player in 137 years. I know that from the book 'Hogwarts. A History'. It's a really great book. It has a very usable map of the school in it. That's why I know the school better than anyone else in my year. Maybe I should copy it to a sheet of parchment so I could carry it around... Hmm... Good idea, what do you think? Well, where was I? Oh, yes. Damn Harry Potter! I'll never, never ever speak to him again! He scared Neville and me almost to death with the little midnight stroll and he didn't even apologize. And now... He even got a BROOMSTICK! And the Hogwarts letter clearly said that first years weren't allowed to bring their own broomsticks. But Famous Potter doesn't have to follow any rules! He's on the team, even if he's too young and he has a brand new broomstick (I overheard when he told Professor Flitwick it was a Nimbus Two Thousand) which he shouldn't be allowed to have, either. He's playing seeker for our house team. Well, it's not like I wouldn't like the house to have the best team... It's just that it isn't fair that he gets to play one year earlier than everybody else just because he's Harry Potter. There have been very talented players before, in all the houses, but they NEVER changed the rules for them! Just for Super Harry. Just because he caught that Remembrall of Neville's. About Neville... Professor Snape seemes to make him very nervous. He's clumsy in all classes, but it's nothing compared to potions. I wonder why? He seems to be afraid of the Professor. As if he would expect the Professor to do something to him. Well, who am I kidding? Professor Snape would just love to expel all the Gryffindors. After breaking their spirits. And assuring they're leaving the school as invalids. And he seems to have it in for Little Harry. I think I've said it before, but now I'm really sure of it. It's relatively late already (it's half past ten, Percy's getting on my nerves 'cause he's lecturing me about why I shoud be in bed by now. I told him I couldn't write my diary in my dorm room 'cause the other girls can't sleep with my candle burning, Percy blushed and took off. I think I got rid of him for now...). I'm sitting in the common room. It's pretty empty now, but a few hours ago there was a disturbance in the all so peaceful life of the Gryffindor Tower as Parvati came to the room, crying and with wet, almost white hair. Turns out somebody had put peroxide in her shampoo... Hmm... I wonder who that was...

Good night!

Hermione



A/N: I hope you like the little prankster deep inside Hermione as much as I like writing her. When I started to write this, I wanted to show a side of her most of us does not think exists. I wanted to show how she could have been if she had an inner prankster but she was just too shy (and reserved) to live it out. You may have noticed this from the previous chapters. She always wished she could be more like the Weasley twins. As for the relationship with Harry and Ron this far- well, to her, Harry is like one of the big Hollywood stars. It seems to her that Harry is too bigheaded to pay any notice to 'his fans'. As she doesn't know him better and he's always trying to keep by himself, it surely could make such an image to observers. And Ron? Well, he seems to be just a sidekick, someone who's clinging on to Harry to get off some of his fame. Well, at least that's what it looks to Hermione like. But you all know it's going to change on halloween. That would be the next chapter, by the way. I just wanted to make sure everybody gets the idea of why she's beig calling them names, before we're leaving this state of their 'relationship' (or maybe we still don't...?). *grins*
