January 7

Whoo-hoo! Yes! Yes! Yes! My ultimate wish has just been granted! I am on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. The way it happened is this, Angelina Johnson has gone on an exchange program to the American Academy of Witchcraft or some other place equally unappealing and horrible and her spot on the Quidditch team was left open. Harry, who was voted captain at the beginning of the year, used his good word to get me on the team instead of Ginny. Can you believe it? They wanted Ginny instead of me. I swear I would have shot her in the head.I know that sounds appalling but really, Ginny? She can't even catch the flu.
