Not Crazy, Just Different
Diary of A Weirdo (AKA Darby Holliwether)
September 18th
2:31 PM
Haven't written in about three days. Sorry about that, I've just been busy with a lot of heinously horrifying homework assignments. I seriously suspect that those wicked (and I don't use that as a compliment type adjective, mind you) professors or oppressive tyrants meant to instruct us (NOT to take immense pleasure in seeing our anger at having mountains of homework forced on us!) have some sort of conspiracy against us students. Grrr!
Anyways, not much has changed. Ollie and Casey made up, and lately I've been noticing he's been REALLY tired looking. Like he's been staying up later than normal. And he's going up to his room a lot earlier than usual. Add Quidditch practices to that and he's got to be really exhausted. Remind me to look into this, okay? Percy and Penelope continue to put on a public display in the library, Derrick continues to be a sweet heart, Sammy and Chandler continue to write to me constantly and Snape keeps on hating the Gryffindors (what, did you expect for him to suddenly begin to hand out hugs and flowers as we enter his class room?).
I miss Bizzy, with his little spiky back and his poky little fingers. But I'm having a load of fun here with Oliver and the Penelope Kisser. *cough* Did I say 'Penelope Kisser?' I meant Percy. Yes, Percy! Ugh. I suppose I don't mind him kissing/dating her but not in the middle of the library! Gag me.
3:47 PM
Yay! Double yay! When I came home, Seymour was sitting on my bed with an unusually thick letter from Sammy. She has sent me THE DRAGON NECKLACE! I'm so happy, she never loans me that necklace because she loves it so much. Chandler must have convinced her. He's the best (Bizzy hater!!) sometimes!
Anyway, Sammy says recently she's been taking Bizzy around the house on his little blue iguana leash when Chandler is at work. She's happy that she decided to run her business from our house. As I may or may not have mentioned, she's an interior designer, and she's good at it too, even if some of her designs are a little 'different' sometimes.
I'm bored, I think I'll go down and speak with Ollie.
4:26
Muah hahahahaha! I just found out why poor Oliver is just looking SO tired lately! Hahaha, you won't believe it!
It's because he's-
I'm laughing so hard I can hardly write!
It is because Oliver Wood cannot stop reading Gone With the Wind! *rolling on the floor laughing* I'm sorry, it's just so funny! He says it's 'just so addictive that he cannot put it down' and he often stays up until midnight just READING! He's kind of a slow reader, even though he's good at it. He said he'll be reading it forever. Apparently he doesn't mind.
Am I slowly killing the Quidditch captain's masculinity? Will he wake up tomorrow and shuffle down to the Great Hall in a nightgown. Ugh. It's almost dinner, I don't know if I can handle that image in my head as I eat. Even if we are having chicken.
You know, I don't know if you know this, but the chicken is the most HORRIFYING animal on the face of the earth! Sammy says that a rooster can rip one to shreds.
Oh no. I just sat on my reading glasses and they got all bent. Why me? Why freakin' me?! Oh never mind, I fixed the little babies.
Oh gosh, suddenly it just got REALLY hot in here. Going to take off my robes and just wear around my t-shirt and jeans. Even down to dinner. Oh well. In third year I went down in a t-shirt and pajama pants because I was really sick and forgot to change back into my jeans. Oliver and Percy found this HILARIOUS and to this day will not let me forget it. Shows how much they know.
SECRETS AND OTHER HILARIOUS THINGS ABOUT MY BEST FRIENDS
OLLIE
*Sleeps with a stuffed duck when he's at home.
*Dances in front of the mirror when he thinks nobody is looking at him.
*One time, he came into class with one of his eyebrows missing after he burnt it off in a freak potions accident (very hilarious).
*Walked right into the wall and ended up falling down the stairs.
*Loves the book Gone With the Wind (new entry to this list!)
*Cried when we watched Bambi at my house this summer (because A: Sammy and I love that movie and B: We had nothing to do.).
PERCY
*Pretends to be head boy ALL THE TIME! I kid you not.
*Once he dyed his hair green over summer break before third year while playing with his wand (his dad was SO mad!).
*Also cried watching Bambi.
* In first year he accidentally went into the girl's room and actually got into a bed, until I kicked him out. Muah hahaha.
*Didn't know about certain 'things' (if you catch my drift here) until he was in third year, and even then Ollie had to tell him.
*His parents call him 'Moomoo' from time to time because that's what he used to say all the time when he was a little kid.
Of course, even though I could threaten to tell that Oliver reads Gone With the Wind, or call Percy 'Moomoo' in public, they have SO many things to tell people that I have done. If we ever were to get pissed at each other, it would be all out war. People would cry.
Like, they could say how I like Percy (sigh), or how I like to watch children's cartoons on TV when no one is home (What? They make me feel smart!). Oh yes, people would seriously be hurt, and not just emotionally!
Although everyone knows that I'm weird so people would be like "So what else is new?!" I can see it now. Like when I sat on the stairs blowing bubbles one night, and when people thought it was weird, Ollie said "You obviously don't know her very well if you think that THIS is weird. "
Love you too, Oliver.
I think I'll very much enjoy wearing my plain clothes down to dinner, and maybe I'll put my reading glasses on! Brilliant, Darby!
7:09 PM
Hee hee. Derrick came up to me and says "I've never seen your glasses before."
And so I said "Well, I don't wear them that much; they make me look like an owl."
"I think you look nice in them!" he said with a smile. I grinned back at him.
"Thanks! Oh, Percy, this is Derrick. Derrick Bole," I introduced, gesturing to him. "And this is Oliver Wood."
"Nice to meet you," Oliver said in a friendly tone. I know he doesn't like Slytheriens too much, but I really was glad that he put an effort to this.
"I just thought I'd tell you that I am still looking forward to the dance," he said to me (Derrick, not Oliver).
"Oh, yeah, me too!" I said enthusiastically. "And Sammy sent me her necklace that I told you about."
"Oh, that's great!" Derrick kissed me on the cheek. "I've gotta go, I'll see you later."
"Bye." I turned back to Percy and Oliver. "So, he's nice, right?"
"Yeah, he's all right," Percy said.
"Are you *sure* you want to go with him?" Oliver just had to go and ask. I frowned and folded my arms.
"Yes! Get over it!" I insisted, eating a forkful of corn.
What is Oliver so worried about? Derrick is SO sweet!
11:14 PM
I hope he won't try to kill Derrick!
