Entry #23: January 8th
Dear Tom,
Christmas holidays are over now! And it's back to the books!
~And how is the term starting out?
Not entirely bad!
~Oh?
Well, classes are the same, mostly boring, but there are some that are fun. I really like Transfiguration.
~I wasn't overly fond of that class, but it may have been the teacher.
Who was your Transfiguration teacher?
~It doesn't matter. So what else is happening?
I've got some really great news!
~What?
Guess.
~Don't play games with me Ginny, you know I'd never be able to guess!
Blythe and I have made up and we're greater friends than ever!
~That's wonderful! But what happened, I thought you two still weren't talking!
Well, we weren't, but I didn't tell you this before, I must have forgot, or I was still kind of angry.
~Just tell me Ginny.
On Christmas, I couldn't find Ron or Harry or Hermione anywhere, and there weren't that many other Gryffindors in the common room, and Blythe and I ended up there together, and we talked a little, and she gave me a Christmas present! Can you believe it?
~What was it?
It was a new quill. A brand new one! And it has red and gold feathers, Gryffindor colours! I've never had a new one before.
~Sounds great!
Well, I told her I loved it and thanked her, and then I went and got her present.
~You bought her a present even though you were fighting?
I umm, bought it ages ago! I saw it, and thought that it would be perfect for her, so I bought it long before Christmas. I had actually forgotten about it until she gave me the quill.
~And so have you been friends since then?
No, not exactly. We still hadn't really forgiven each other, we just came to a sort of understanding. So we've been talking when we see each other and everything.
~That's a good start.
Yes, and then yesterday on the way to Potions class, some Slytherins tripped me, and all my stuff fell, and they were laughing, and she helped me pick them all up and she did the leg locker curse on the three of them before they had any time to do anything back! She's quite good with a wand!
~Well, they did deserve it!
Yes, but Professor Snape saw it and somehow it was Blythe and I that ended up in detention and not them! I hate that slimy git!
~That's a little harsh don't you think? He is your teacher.
Sorry Tom, I'm starting to sound like Ron!
~Well, you can't like everyone I guess! So how was detention?
Fabulous!
~Really? Because Ginny, I don't think that that's the purpose of detention!
Well, Blythe and I cleaned all the picture frames along the stairwell last night! Every single one of them. And we had to listen to all the people in the pictures complain about us leaving spots and that someone else's was cleaner, and well, we just had a ton of fun joking around with them. They are really serious for being portraits of people!
~I'd never noticed.
Yes, and then we just kind of forgave each other, and said how much we missed each other and everything!
~It was as simple as that huh?
Yes. I just wish we could have not wasted these few months! She said the same! But I know that we won't have any more fights like that again. We really understand each other now!
~That's good to hear Ginny.
Okay, thanks for listening Tom. Goodnight!
~Sleep tight!

Author's Note: I felt like being creative and adding some of my own ideas for events that took place! I have to keep you guys entertained and I'm sure you don't just want to hear about what we already know happens in the book! :o)
