A/N:

Just to comment on the shortness of the chapters: I have deliberately made them short so I can update sooner. They get longer as we go along, I promise. I will ALWAYS post up two chapters at once. The first will be a diary entry, the second actual story.

Gratuities:

Jerica: Eep! Spelling errors? *curses softly* Thanks for the heads up on those.

Labrisa: I didn't know know it was sensual, but I did try to make it personal. Thanks for your kind review.

Goddessnmb1: I only said it might. I personally doubt it will. I'm a wuss at letting anyone read lemony work by myself. And what is WIKTT? I've heard of it, but I am ignorant as to what it is.

Tracy: Well, how about six more? ;)

Novtilwen: Thank you for your review. Would that I knew where I was going. ;)
It is strange. I have never been invited into any circle willingly. Harry and Ron accepted me because they saved my life, not for any true liking of my personality. Lavender and her friends have little use for me, unless they have a homework assignment they do not understand. Ginny Weasley has always been a good ear, but not good for advice, for she normally seeks mine.

While I appreciate that my teachers encourage me to learn, I feel as if I am drowning in all this knowledge. I try to bury out the truth of my life by studying the lives of others. For all my love of my friends and learning, I feel as if I have forgotten how to express my true feelings. Perhaps I have.

Perhaps this is why I try so hard to be noticed for learning. Professor Snape is right when he calls me a 'know-it-all.' I am. I have no excuse, save this is what keeps me from disappearing entirely. I have no other way to identify myself. Would that I did. Would that someone could point it out to me, so I could let go.
