Hermione's Diary
September 1st
Today was the first day back at Hogwarts. This is the year we will take our OWLs, as I reminded Ron and Harry. Ron went on about he is going to fail them all, and how we shouldn't have exams anyway. Of course, I had to disagree with him. I don't know why Harry was trying to get away from us; it's not as if we were going to resort to throwing food at each other.
The argument went on until we got up to the common room. Fred and George were sniggering at us for some obscure reason. This made Ron really embarrassed. He looks so sweet when he does that. I wish I could have talked to him for longer, but Harry dragged him up the boy's stairs at eleven. I'm surprised at myself, I can talk to Ron anytime, but I risk being too tired to study for him!
September 2nd
This was our first day of lessons! It felt so good taxing my brain after the holidays. Ron seemed less enthusiastic, but then his first lesson was Divination. I'd probably be a bit moody if my first lesson was with that old fraud. Apparently they had been learning about Pendulums, and Harry had asked it a question about Ron, which had made him mad at Harry. Harry was about to tell me what it was when Ron kicked him (very painfully, from the expression on Harry's face, which looked like he was in more agony than when he had the bones removed from his arms). I don't know why he is so bothered, he knows I don't believe in that stuff. Perhaps he thought that some people might tease him about it? But I would have thought that he'd know I wouldn't tease him. If I did that, he'd get mad with me, and I hate not being able to talk to him. Every time that happens, it feels like some one slicing at me heart with a burning blade.
September 3rd
Today was a Saturday. I was going to spend today in the library by myself, but Harry had Quidditch practice so Ron joined me. I was so shocked when I saw what book he had got to read. It was none other than Hogwarts: A History! The book I had told him and harry a million times to read!
"You're reading Hogwarts: A History?" I asked him in surprise. He shrugged, trying to look like it was no big deal, but his ears went red as they often did when he was under pressure.
"Y-yeah," he stammered. "I know y-you think it's so great so, I, erm, thought I'd see what it's like." I couldn't help daydreaming about how Ron had actually listened to me, and taken my advice on something!
Whilst I was reading, I couldn't prevent myself from glancing up at him every so often. He caught me a couple of times. He went so red, and I could feel my own cheeks burning. I must have looked so stupid!
We met up with Harry at lunch. He was really tired out with Quidditch training, and he said he had to train again at one o'clock. The new captain is really trying to get the Gryffindor team to be perfect.
After Harry had left us again, Ron and I stayed in the Common Room. Lavender and Parvati were in a corner by themselves, giggling over something. This reminded me of the previous nights in the Girl's Dormitory, where they had been talking about all the guys at Hogwarts they'd dated over the summer. Between them, they've dated almost half of the boys in fifth year or above from what they've said. They kept glancing over at where Ron and Dean were arguing over which was the better sport, Quidditch or football. I don't know why, Lavender had said last night how Dean wasn't committed enough.
September 4th
Harry had to train again this morning, so Ron and I went for a walk across the grounds. As we watched the giant squid swimming in the lake, I noticed Parvati and Lavender sneak around a few times, giggling hysterically. Ron said that he reckoned they were chasing some boy.
When we went back inside, we played a game of chess together. He won, obviously, but he did go easy on me. He let me take more of his pieces than he's ever let anyone else take. Oh, I can't believe I just put that! I'm so pathetic I can recall almost every time he has ever played chess! Harry came up after our second game (I wish he hadn't, I loved it when it was Ron's turn and I could stare up at him without it looking weird) and dropped into a chair next to us. He fell asleep almost instantaneously. He slept all through lunch, and we were worried he would sleep through dinner. As the loyal friends we are, we tried to wake him up (which was quite enjoyable). When getting Fred and George to hit him over the head with their bats didn't work, Ron sent Ginny to get a jug of cold water. When she gave it to him, he tipped the whole thing over Harry's face! I must admit, I've never seen anyone wake up so quickly. I started to laugh along with the everyone else in the Gryffindor common room, but Ron grabbed my wrist and we ran from Harry as fast as we possibly could, until we walked straight into Malfoy.
"How sweet," he sneered. "The mudblood and the weasel are in love. I wonder what their children will turn out like? Muddy weasels, perhaps?" Crabbe and Goyle guffawed loudly.
"I bet the kids you and Pansy have will be even more unusual, Malfoy," Ron retorted. "A lot of people would like to see a ferret-pug." He looks so hot when he's being defensive.
Draco's face contorted into a look of pure fury. He and Ron snatched their wands at the same time, and they were about to do some serious magic when Professor McGonagall came along. She was deeply infuriated.
"Fighting on the fourth day back!" she screamed at them, looking like she wanted to give them detention for a year. "See me tomorrow after breakfast, both of you." She glowered at all of us until we had got up the stairs, away from Malfoy.
September 5th
Ron got detention for tomorrow evening. He's got to help Hagrid with some ferocious creature that he got for the seventh years. He spent the rest of the day asking me about the worst creature Hagrid could have got. Harry tried to tell him that wizard law would stop even Hagrid finding a new Basilisk but he wouldn't listen. In Transfiguration he used the entire lesson writing out how he want to be buried.
September 6th
I'm writing this sitting on my bed with the curtains drawn around me, wishing they could block me away from the rest of the universe until the day I die.
I was sitting my by myself in a corner of the library. Harry had gone to train and Ron had gone to his detention. Parvati and Lavender were looking around, as if searching for someone.
"Drat," said Parvati. "I thought he'd be here." Ron was right, they were chasing some guy! They sat down at a table together.
"I still don't get why you want him," Lavender said whilst opening a book on Divination.
"I want to make my ex-boyfriends jealous, and when they see me with him, they will be more upset than if they just saw me by myself," Parvati replied.
"But Ron Weasley." After Lavender said this I couldn't concentrate. My heart was pumping louder than a thunderclap.
"He's funny, and I found something amazing out. I'm meant to go out with him for a few months, and then I will meet the love of my life! Professor Trelawney said so! She said that either he would be the one, or I will meet him through Ron!"
"So, it'll be pretty serious between you two?"
"Definitely! I need to stay with him for at least three months! Anyway, he isn't here. Let's go look somewhere else."
I still can't believe it. They are trying to take my best friend - no, that's stupid, I don't feel like this because he's my friend. I don't even think it's a crush. I care more for him than anyone else, and now Parvati is trying to take him just because of something Professor Trelawney mentioned.
Ron dating Parvati, only to be dumped when this "love of her life" comes along. I can't even warn him. Practically everyone would laugh at the notion of the prettiest girl in the year wanting to be with him. Parvati could just deny it, and then everyone would accuse me of trying to stir things up.
I suppose I'd better get used to it. Even Krum couldn't stay interested in me for long. He didn't understand why I loved reading, he just liked me because I was a lot harder to get than the other girls were and he liked a challenge. I had better prepare for having my heart crushed like a glass ornament under the foot of a huge troll.

What do you think? Sorry to any Lavender or Parvati fans. Please review and say if it's worth continuing!
