Thank you very much for your reviews and I'm glad you like the story. Speaking of story...

Ron and Harry pulled on their robes and trudged downstairs to the Great Hall for breakfast. There were still two more days left for the holidays so the tables were practically empty. To their surprise Hermione was already sitting at the Gryffindor table pushing her pancakes nervously around her plate. Ron sat down next to her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She smiled half heartedly. "Whats wrong 'Mione?" Ron asked, concerned. She pulled out Lily's diary from her bag and slid it across the table to Harry. He looked at her, puzzled, and then at the book. Hermione saw some of the blood drain from his face as the name on the cover registered.

Ron looked confused. He glanced at Hermione and then at Harry, then back to Hermione. "What's going on?" The two seemed not to hear him and Harry was still staring at the journal.

"My mother-" he croaked, then cleared his throat and looked at Hermione. "Where did you get this?" Hermione looked away, feeling akward. "I-I found it in a hidden drawer in my room," she met Harry's gaze. "I only read the first page," she said hurridly.

Harry just shook his head in shock. He swallowed and then stood up. "I'm not hungry, I'm going to go back to the room." Hermione and Ron looked worridly after him as he left the great hall. Once the door swung shut behind him, Ron runed to Hermione. "What was that all about?"

Harry dropped into a chair by the roaring fireplace in the Gryffindor common room. Slowly he opened to the first page. 'Promise you won't tell a soul.' Harry blinked back tears as he whispered, "I won't Mom, I won't." He turned the page.

Dear Diary,

Raine asked me a question in Potions today. I swear, its the first time she's ever voluntarily let me talk. I felt appreciated and recognized, but when she had finished I wished she hadn't bothered. Without missing a beat from her monolouge about her and Henry's date, she asked, "So who do
you like?" The question caught me completely off guard and I just blinked a few times and said, "Sorry, what?" She laughed and said, "You know, like someone, as in enough to date them?" Her eyes were twinkling, but mine definately weren't. I put my frogs sperm into my potion and lied, "Oh, I don't like anyone."

"Yeah right," Raine laughed. Her laughs were starting to get on my nerves. I didn't want her to know who I liked. She would probably tell Henry or worse- she would tell James. I know her. But I'm not really good at lying, and when she started listing all the boys in our class, she found out pretty quickly.

"Sirius?" No. "Remus?" No. "James?" No. "James?" No. "James?" No. No. NO! "Haha...I knew it, its James!" If you knew it then why did you guess Sirius first?


I was pretty mad at her and at myself. I tried not to look at her for the rest of the class because I knew she was staring back and forth between me and James. She must have noticed that I was pretty angry because she said after a few minutes, "You know, you two would look really cute together?" I snorted. "You're just saying that because you don't want me to be mad at you." She studied me for a moment before saying seriously, "Lily, you are way too hard on yourself. You are really pretty, you know that? And I'm serious you two are practically made for each other." I looked at her, wanting to believe her, but not really. "Really?" I asked. She grinned and nodded. I relaxed pretty much after that and Raine must have noticed because her grin turned mischevious and she said, "Want me to get Henry to hook you guys up?" "No!" I shouted and held my cauldron of steaming Enlargement Potion threateningly. She started laughing hysterically and pretty soon I joined in.


I'm pretty confident that she won't tell anyone. Today I felt really close to her. She really is my best friend, and I feel kind of bad about what I wrote yesterday, because right now I feel like I could tell her anything. Thanks Raine, I appreciate it. Well its late now. Goodnight Diary, I will write more tomorrow.

Love, Lily
