Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! Everything here, in this fic, belongs to the wonderful J.K.Rowling, even the whole storyline, as this is the first HP book, only from the POV of (a very michiveous) Hermione. Well, I just altered Hermione's personality a little.

A/N: This fanfic, like my other longer story, is beta-read by Luinthoron (*waves*) and Puzzler ("Hi!"). They do a really wonderful job betaing so you can read my fics without as much of grammatical errors as if there would be as if not for the two of them. That's what I thank them for. Thank you!

Dear Diary...

It's funny how things can work out just because of some mountain troll. If it wasn't for you, my Diary, I would think that all that happened before was just my imagination. I'm still helping Neville with his homework, but I have much less time for him since the whole Mountain Troll Affair. Because I have friends now. Ron and Harry. They're really cool when you know them better. Harry, for example, isn't like those Hollywood stars at all. He just doesn't feel comfortable with all this being famous stuff and he just wants to be left alone, so he can concentrate on Quidditch training. The Quidditch season is about to begin and he has been training every free minute he has. Ron, as much as I hate to say this, is really sweet, too. He's not just a sidekick at all. He's a really good friend who would risk his neck for his friends and I value his friendship. I really do. And not just because he's related to the twins! Not at all! Although, I have to admit, I could really learn a lot from them. They're real pranksters, you know. I wish I had brothers like them! Maybe I wouldn't be so shy if I had. And while we're on the topic- they still haven't found out what happened with Parvati's shampoo the other day. The twins deny having anything to do with it. They seem to be eager to find out about their new rival in pulling pranks. They keep on questioning us (and especially me, because I'm SO trustworthy) about that day. Did we see somebody in the room who doesn't belong there? Could it have been someone from our room? Well, the only answer they have gotten this far is NO. But they still don't give up. Um... well... speaking of mysterious things happening... Percy was writing something on a desk, down in the common room, but he was called away for a moment, so he left his things lying around on the desk, his quill still in the ink vial. When he came back, he couldn't get his quill out of the ink anymore. Seems like someone filled his ink vial with a super strong glue... The twins swear they weren't anywhere near the desk, as they were down in the kitchen, getting some food. But they are determined to find out who's the one pulling pranks on others, without consulting them first. It's a shame Harry wasn't here, he could have used this laugh! But he was on the Quidditch pitch, having some private training with Oliver. Oh, I haven't mentioned him before, have I? Oliver Wood is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, you know. He's much older than us (he's in his fifth year, if I'm not mistaken) and he's no fun at all. All he talks about is Quidditch. There are times when you'd think even Percy was more fun than him. Well, he certainly was today! The look on his face after the Ink Vial Incident... it was priceless! But I was talking about Oliver. Well, what else is there to tell you about him? Um... oh, yes! He's quite good at... (you'll NEVER guess it!)... Quidditch! But that's about all what's there to say about him. And really, that's about six sentences more than I ever wanted to say about him anyway. Whatever. Harry's being much too nervous about the oncoming Quidditch season these last few days. There just HAS to be a way to calm him down a little. He can't play in his present constitution, the team would have more of a chance of winning without him playing! Well, maybe I should make him read 'Quidditch Through the Ages'? I mean, it would work perfectly for me. But then again, he doesn't seem to be the type to read... Maybe... Ah, what the...! (oops! I wasn't supposed to swear at school, not even in my diary) I just give him the damn book and if he doesn't feel like reading it, well, that's his loss!

Good night!

Hermione
