A/N: I don't own any of the characters from Harry Potter. I only own the ones that you do not recognize, for they are my own characters. Review Review Review!


I entered the common room. People were looking at me. I didn't care. People were whispering around me. I didn't care. I just wanted to get to a bed to lie down. I needed to think. Harry was looking at me while I was walking towards the girl's dormitories. I glanced at him, but he quickly put his head down to continue working his homework. He probably thinks I'm a total nutcase, I thought.

I finally got to the dormitories, only to be greeted by Lavender and Pavarti.

"Oh hi Hermione." Lavender greeted quietly.

"We don't believe any of it, Hermione. We don't even believe the stuff about Victor Krum, even though we know that you sort of really like him." Pavarti said. I didn't even ask about what they were talking about now. My whole life was ruined, why did I care what rumors were going on now?

When I sat down on my bed, I started thinking about how much more my life could be ruined. I grabbed some parchment and wrote the ways down.
–Harry and Ron would never be my friends again
–This situation could make me fail exams
–I would never get a good job because of reason above
–My parents would hate me for getting myself into this mess and disown me

I couldn't think of any other ones. The last one I know was farfetched but I was really hurting inside and you never know what could happen. I couldn't think any more. I didn't know what to do about Draco Malfoy and the rumors. Right now, I just wanted sleep. I fell back into my pillow, not even bothering to take of my pajamas. I almost fell asleep when I realized something that had to do with one point on my list. I hadn't attended my last two lessons today. I was too busy finding Malfoy to even think about that. This fact just got me worried some more. The class probably went over some very important information that I won't be able to get from anyone because they think I'm a cold hearted, stuck-up snob. I honestly didn't know what to do. I never thought my situation could get any worse, but it did.

I got to sleep, but with many thoughts going through my head.

An owl was scratching on the window. I opened my eyes to find light flooding through the room. I had never realized that a spring day would be as nice. The owl continued to scratch at my window. When I got up and reached the window, the scratching deceased and the owl just looked at me. I opened the window and untied the letter from the owl's leg. I checked the clock on the table that was by the window and saw that it was already eleven o'clock. I missed some lessons already! I looked around the room and found all of the beds empty. This explains why the owl was finding me in the dormitories instead of the Great Hall.

I took the letter and close the window. I went over to my bed and opened the envelope. I had no idea who sent me this letter, but I had a feeling it wasn't from someone I liked. And to my luck, after scanning the letter I found out it was from none other then Draco Malfoy.

Hermione,
Look at what I did to your status in the school. At least people know who you are now, right? All of the entries I showed the people in the school are entries from the diary that YOU left lying around. I just added a few more touches to them. Don't you like my work? Why did you make all of the entries about my relationships, do you ask? Well, what do you want me to do? Just show people an entry like I have a huge crush on Harry Potter. Everyone knows that already, I just want people to know more. This school is so dry for good, juicy rumors. I don't know when I'm going to give back your diary. Whenever I give it back, you're going to be known as a very mean person, so it honestly doesn't matter, but I think I want to make up just one more rumor. Be prepared Granger, for the unthinkable.
–Draco Malfoy

The letter was ripping under my hard grip I had on it. I couldn't believe Draco did this! I know I wrote in my diary that I liked Harry, and in early entries I did put I had just a little crush on Victor, and I did say I wasn't really fond of Cho, but I would never do that to her and Harry's relationship. Now, everyone knows all of those things. But what about those things that Draco said and did? I now officially have a very bad reputation in this school and I know it's going to get worse.
