A/N: Argh, something was going to happen in this chapter but the timing was all wrong. So sorry, the true excitement will have to wait for a few more updates.
~October 31st~ Thursday
Halloween proved to be quite boring this year. I'm continuing to think about Ron nonstop, who has gone back to his state of unconsciousness in which neither I or anyone else exists, while I moon about in a sort of…shag-high funk, I guess I could call it in very lewd terms. But I don't know. I'm so confused.
~November 7th~ Thursday
Of course, I've been thinking about Ron and hardly seeing him at all, not even looking at him when he walks by. Of course, it's incredibly hard and everything…argh…there's the confusion again…
I have no clue what's going on. McGonagall has all but disappeared off the face of the earth. Dumbledore is carrying around pockets bulging with chocolate toffees, and Ginny and Harry are attached at the hip and keep vanishing in long intervals.
This is making me sick.
~November 11th~ Monday
For some odd reason, I keep seeing flyers everywhere that say "Happy Birthday, Wonk" and flash pictures of a peculiar looking girl with short hair and a pencil behind her ear. I'm beginning to think this is either a work of evil or of shameless self-promotion.

Chocolate: 3 (better), Assignments Due:2, Assignments turned In: 2, Malfoy Seductions: 0 (incredible)
I have found the secret to men. I never thought this was possible, even with the magic available to our kind, but I have. Attraction does not happen through food, flirting, or shagging, but ignoring.
Ron came up to me after charms today and took my hand (hmm…), and said quietly, "Hey, 'Mione."
I looked up at him, probably quite a bit surprised. "Wha…?"
"What's up?" he asked, not letting go of my hand. Harry's advice kept running through my head (I went soft…gave in before…he should have begged for it…he's going to beg for it…augh…). "Why have you been so…distant lately?"
Fortunately, just as I reached my peak of self-confusion, a first year girl ran by, closely chased by a boy of the same grade holding a toad that was sprouting mushrooms. The girl was crying, and the boy seemed to be enjoying himself thoroughly.
Ron sighed. "Go ahead. I'll see to this."
Sometimes I wish that Ron would chase me with mutant animals, just so I could scream and cry and not act at all like a cool, composed, icy head girl.
Which I am.
~November 19th~ Tuesday
Chocolate: 9 (disgusting), Assignments Due:1, Assignments turned In: 1, Malfoy Seductions: 2, Negative Thoughts: 1,246, Minutes spent counting negative thoughts: 96 (horrible)
I thought my ice-queeness was working marvelously, only for it to be crushed greatly this afternoon when Ron approached me in the hall.
"Hey, Hermione." He leaned against the wall as I crossed my arms under my chest, waiting patiently. "I asked Dumbledore if he would let the Head Girls and Boys go on a mini-break next weekend in Hogsmeade. He gave it the go-ahead. What do you say?"
"Oohhh…" I gaped at him, a little surprised. Ron was being unusually bold lately, the freckled-face Weasley was usually quite shy and stubborn when it came to anything with asking a favor. "Wait. Is Draco going?"
He smiled. "Of course not."
No accidental seductions. Even better.
"Then yes, please."
He grinned and kissed me. I felt a little thrill as a forth year passed, eyeing us maliciously.
Of course, serious crap-wittage came into play when he sat down next to me at lunch and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Hermione. I can't do it next weekend. I completely forgot that I have blah blah blah…"
I can't really remember what happened after that, except me shoving a biscuit at him and stomping up to my room, eyeing the door evilly and waiting to curse anyone who would dare walk through.
Argh, men.
~November 24th~ Sunday
Harry said he would be supportive of me all the way, since he agrees with the theory of Ron being a total and utter crapwit. But this doesn't take into effect, truly, since he is still, 1. speaking to Ron, and is 2. speaking to Ron. Oh, and speaking to Ron.
Two new resolutions to add to list:
I will
Stop being taken by serious crapwittage.
I will not
Talk to, sleep with, or pay any notice of Ronald Weasley.
Now let's just see how this works out.
Odd, seems I'm updating on a daily basis. But please, don't come to expect this all the time.
Thanks to: aPPle-FrEAk, Loah, the soul cage, TheCatsMilk, crazyone17 (I completely agree), and Black Tear. Good, faithful reviewers!
And...please review!
