Chapter 3
September 19th
I woke up, expecting an ordinary Monday. Then I remembered what Parvati said last night. She didn't say anything in lessons, so when Harry went for Quidditch practice, I thought I was safe. I was just chatting to Ron, when I dropped one of my books. I stopped to pick it up, but he didn't notice. I can't really blame him; he had just lost 10 points for Gryffindor (taken by Snape, obviously). Anyway, Parvati came up behind him.
"Ron, would you go to the ball with me?" she asked, in a voice so different to her own I'm surprised he knew it was she. He turned around slowly, and he looked as if all his dreams had come true at once. I couldn't take it. Luckily, there was a girl's toilet just next to me, so I dashed in there.
Which is where I am now. I don't know what to do. I mean, if I go back to Gryffindor Tower, Ron and Parvati will be acting just as Harry and Ginny are. I suppose I could stay in here. Like Moaning Myrtle. I'll stay in here until I die. And after I die, I suppose, since I'll be so miserable I'll become a ghost. Moaning Myrtle and Miserable Mione. It has a good ring to it.
Maybe this is how Myrtle felt. Maybe a boy she liked was dating Olive Hornby, which was the true reason she haunted her for ages. If that did happen, I am so sorry for everything I said about her. I can empathise with her now.
But I can't stay in here. The any girl could come in to get me. If Parvati did, well, I don't want to think about what I'd do to her. Possibly what the gesture Ron threatened to use on Malfoy on the train coming to Hogwarts one year.
September 20th
I have to find Ron. This morning, I went down into the Gryffindor common room to find Parvati waiting for me. She was looking at me like I had done something wrong to her! Excuse me, but I hadn't tried to steal her crush!
"You are going to pay, Granger," she said in a low menacing voice. She sounded so much like Malfoy that I laughed out loud.
"What's so funny?" Lavender asked, backing up her best friend. At this point, I still didn't know what I had supposedly done.
"The Malfoy impersonator. So what am I going to pay for?" I reached for my wand. They didn't know that I had learnt those jinxes last year, but I knew both of them couldn't duel to save their lives (they had always assumed some boy would rescue them).
"You stole Ron!" Parvati screamed. "No one steals the guy I like away from me!" They both had their wands out now. There was also quite a large crowd around us, which Harry barged through.
"Sorry to interrupt," he said. "But Hermione needs to come with me. You can always go talk to Ron, though. He should be down in a minute." With that, he dragged me down through the portrait of the Fat Lady, out through the main doors and continued until we had got to near Hagrid's hut, accidentally knocking several first years over in our hurry.
"What did Parvati mean "you stole Ron"?" I asked. "She's the one who is going to the ball with him!"
"She isn't," Harry replied. "He turned her down. It's all over the school. I think Parvati and Lavender were going to fight you last night, but they fell asleep waiting for you. Ron tried to wait for you too, but when you hadn't come out of the toilets at eleven the entire Gryffindor Quidditch team had to drag him back." I was shocked. Why would Ron turn Parvati down? None of this made sense!
"Then why did he look so happy when she asked him?" I asked suspiciously.
"He thought you had said it!" Harry exclaimed in exasperation.
So now I need to find Ron. It would be on the day when I have Arithmancy and he has Divination that I need to speak to him. Stupid Parvati, wasting the only time I could have spoken to him!
