April 5th

It's been over a month since I last wrote, since I found out how and when my mother died, and I'm adjusting. Slowly, but surely I am adjusting. "That's what you have to do Draco." Seamus Finnigan said to me. It was the first time he said anything to me since I started dating Hermione. It was the first time he called me anything but Malfoy in my entire life.

I don't know what I'm going to do this summer, maybe stay with Hermione, maybe ask if I can just stay at the school. I don't really think I want to stay here, in Hogwarts all summer though. My circulation has gotten better, my hands aren't cold as often. My personality has gotten better too. My words aren't cold as often. I'd just like to do some normal, teenager things before I head out of Hogwarts for good.

I'd like to be a kid.
