Dear Diary...
It's me again, Hermione. Harry was released from the hospital wing today just in time to join the end-of-term feast. That's when the most incredible thing happened. WE WON THE HOUSE CUP! Everyone had thought that Slytherin had won. They were in lead with so many points. And then, at the feast, Professor Dumbledore suddenly said, that recent events were to take in account, too. And then he gave Ron fifty points for the Living Chessboard Game we had won thanks to Ron's tactic on our way to save the Philosophers' Stone. Then he gave me fifty points for solving the Puzzle With Potions down there, the puzzle that had made it possible for Harry to go onwards and face Quirrell and He Who Must Not Be Named. And then he gave Harry sixty points for Facing Quirrell And You Know Who Alone. And we had the same score as Slytherin! And then Professor Dumbledore gave another ten points to Gryffindor. To Neville. For having the courage to stand up against his own friends (that would be Ron, Harry and I) for his beliefs (that would be trying to stop us from going down the trapdoor and saving the Philosophers' Stone). And that brought us the House Cup!!! Neville's ten points won us the House Cup! I had never seen Neville happier than on the feast today. Or more prouder. And then we got our exam results. I had passed every one of them. And Harry and Ron, too. Neville hadn't done that good in Potions, but his excellent marks in Herbology made well up for that. I had the best marks of us all, I still can't believe it's really true. And then we took the Hogwarts Express to London. And suddenly I found that I really miss the school. But I will be back, of course. Next year I will be in second grade and there will be no Philosophers' Stone to baby-sit anymore as the only one in existence was destroyed. And we won't have a teacher who is carrying around the Dark Lord in his body anymore. It will be just perfect! I'm already missing my Harry and Ron. Poor Harry. He's going to have to put up with his horrible relatives the whole summer. How do I know that they're horrible? First of all, he's told us so many times by now and second, I saw them today. At the station. I'm really grateful I don't have to live with them. Poor Harry... Ron's mother was just the opposite of Harry's relatives. She was really nice. And Ron's little sister is really sweet, too. She's going to start Hogwarts in September. I hope she'll be a Gryffindor... Mom and Dad were there to pick me up. I told them all about our big adventure on our trip home. They were really proud, I could tell. Really. Even though Dad said something about taking me off Hogwarts because it seems to be a too dangerous place for his little girl. I managed to convince him not to do that, though, I think. Now, I have the whole summer ahea - what am I going to do with so many free time…
Yours truly,
Hermione
A/N: PLEASE READ!!! That was now the definitely LAST chapter of "Hermione's Diary. First Year". I'm off to completing my other big project - "The Spy in the Inner Circle". I'm going to start writing Hermie's second year diary when I have completed the Spy-story. And I am already playing with the Idea for another long story taking place years after Lord V was defeated for good. Until then - I'm waiting for your reviews. Thank you for reading.
