Everywhere I turn I see Luke. Angelique says I'm being paranoid and that I should calm down about what happened last night. But I really can't listen to her, as she's an exact clone of her mom(the famous brilliant person Hermione Granger) except for her looks, she also seems to have been hit with the Weasley-girl shortness. Why Hope had to go and tell Bekka and Carla is beyond me, and Carla and Hope won't shut up about it of course, they seem to think we are now some sort of couple or something, yeah I wish. Here's their reaction:

Carla: Oh my gosh, Lily. You and Luke would make such a cute couple. I knew he liked you ever since he turned down that snob from Ravenclaw last year.

Hope: Oh my gosh Carla, you are so right! I hadn't even thought of that! Of course they would make a cute couple. Lily is so teeny and Luke so tall, and Luke has like that hippy rebel-without-a-cause sort of look and Lily is so, well not like that. And plus, then we could all go on dates together!

Carla: You are so right, Hope. And by the way, your hair looks so cute with the blue highlights.

Angelique: I too saw how he looked at you, Lil'. I wish a certain someone would look at me like that . . . so just calm down. And don't listen to Hope and Carla, you know how they get when we start talking about guys . . . (shoots Carla and Hope dirty looks)

Bekka: I agree with Angel. Luke would have ignored you if he didn't like you. You know how he is, he barely ever talks to anyone, why would he defend you to some creep muggles for no reason?

Me: Ummm, because Luke is not only a pretty face, he has a wonderful personality too.

Bekka: (under her breath) yes and you know this from all the conversations you've had with him . . .

And so it goes. Carla and Hope already planning the wedding, Angelique comparing my crush to hers, and Bekka, well being Bekka, and over rationalizing the whole situation.

Thank goodness we didn't have any classes today, Gryffindors and Ravenclaws tend to be in the same classes together, and it's ten times worse for me because we also both take Arithmancy and Ancient Runes. And it doesn't help that I have liked him for like my whole life. This is pathetic, really pathetic, I bet he hasn't thought about me once since last night.

After reading the beginning of this entry I noticed that you're probably wondering who Bekka and Carla and everyone is so, I know what I'll do. I'll introduce my friends properly:

Rebecca Davies: "Bekka", daughter of Lavender Brown and Roger Davies, we've been best friends since we started Hogwarts together, likes reading more than she likes guys(go figure), my main go-to girl because she has the best advice

Angelique Weasley: "Angel" or "Angie" on rare occasions(basically when we get too lazy to say "Angelique" because she hates that nickname), daughter Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley(making her my cousin), best friends basically our whole life, is possibly the most brilliant person in our grade, has a secret crush on a cutie in Ravenclaw that she thinks we don't know about

Hope Chang: "Hope"(what other nickname could you give her?), daughter of Blaise Zabini and Ryan Chang(Cho Chang's older brother), best friends since primary school, thought to be a ditz but is really good at hair potions and cosmetic charms(she's already passed Snape's N.E.W.T. potions class)

Carla Samsonite: "Silly Old Carla", daughter of Nymphadora Tonks and Malcom Samsonite, best friends since our second year in Hogwarts(in our first year we hated each other), really quite energetic but somewhat of a klutz, a metamorphmagus(can change appearance at will)

Zebulon Longbottom: "Zeb", son of Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom, friends since second year(when we became potions partners), has a secret crush on a pretty petite Gryffindor that he thinks we don't know about(well all except one knows about it)

David Nott: "Dave", son of Kelly Lockhart and Theodore Nott, friends since he started to go out with Hope(last year), he has very odd taste in clothes(such as wearing bright colored shirts under his uniform), and was the one who introduced me to Luke(when he brought him to Hogsmeade with us)

Kyle Wood: "Ky", son of Oliver Wood and Katie Bell, friends since first year when he helped me with flying, he's currently going out with Carla, and happens to be have a lot of the same personality traits as my Uncles Fred and George(in other words he's a goofball)

Carla's yelling at me for my quill scratching. Goodness, she is so intolerant sometimes, I never yell at her when she wakes me up at 4:30. Okay, so I do, but I mean, wouldn't you?

Goodness. Life at Hogwarts would be so boring without the Marauders Map and my dad's invisibility cloak. With the help of those excellent tools and Hope's hair potions and cosmetic charms, Carla, Angelique, Hope, Bekka, Zeb, Dave, Kyle, Mike Corner(even though I can't stand him), and I were able to successfully sneak out of the school and spend our weekend at Hogsmeade. (Well most of our weekend in Hogsmeade).

Of course, for me, going to Hogsmeade is good for other reasons, it gets me out of school, therefore getting me away from Luke. I am such a klutz around him. Mum says that she was exactly the same way around Dad when she was young, but that isn't really that comforting, seeing as they hate each other now.

Hogsmeade this weekend was especially fun because of Angelique and Zeb. They barely even talk to each other anymore, and when they do, they blush even redder than my hair. Honestly, when are they going to wake up and figure out they have feelings for each other? Of course, between 2 real couples and 1 imaginary couple, it left Bekka and I alone with Mike. Urgh, I so can't stand him. He thinks he's so great because he's the new seeker for our Quidditch Team. Ha! He's only on the team because my stupid brother James had failed potions so extravagantly that he wasn't allowed to try out for the team. He kept trying to flirt with Bekka. Please, if he knew anything about her he'd know she doesn't go for that. Thank goodness he's only in Arithmancy and Potions with me.

Luke, on the other hand is. I should know, seeing as today he was in every class with me, well almost. Goodness, Monday is going to be torture for me. I sit next to him in Arithmancy, and I already know it's going to drive me nuts. Of course, it doesn't help that Mike sits on my other side. Between concentrating on not staring at Luke, concentrating on not smacking Mike in the face, and trying to concentrate on Arithmancy itself(which happens to be the hardest class I take), I came out of class with such a headache I had to skip lunch. Which wasn't such a good idea. Between my throbbing head and my growling stomache, I was barely able to walk into the Potions dungeon without fainting. I probably would have collapsed right into my cauldron if it wasn't for Zeb, have I ever mentioned how much I love having him as a potions partner? He brought me back a part of his lunch. Of course, it was only a ploy to find out more about Angelique(not that he couldn't write her whole life story anyway . . . ). Oh well, Zeb is now officially my favorite person. After Luke.
