September 1st
First day of sixth year. Great to be back at Hogwarts, with Harry and Hermione. I'm not speaking to Dean, and I swear, that boy is going to get a smack in the face if he lays one finger on my sister!
One good thing's come out of the whole Department of Mysteries thing-Malfoy hasn't made one snide remark since the day started. Well, with his dad in his prison and his whole family disgraced, he'd have to be even stupider than Crabbe and Goyle to pick a fight. I have SO much ammunition. I spent half the summer planning things to say to him, then Hermione came along and started trying to make me feel guilty with her whole 'how would you feel if you were in his position? He's only so horrible because of the way he's been brought up!' Typical. Now I can't even laugh at Malfoy in peace.
Harry's dead quiet. I suppose I would be too, if my godfather had died and I spent the whole summer with my horrible relatives, blaming myself for his death. I wrote to him a million times telling him not to blame himself, but Harry being Harry, he's just feeling miserable. And being an irritable git.
Harry just went to bed-after biting my head off for the fiftieth time today. He's annoyed because Hermione and I spent the summer at Grimmauld Place, and Dumbledore, for some cocked-up reason, decided that Harry had to stay with the Dursleys.
Just in case you're thinking I'm pathetic or anything, I'm keeping this diary because I have a feeling that some really big stuff is going to happen this year, and when I'm 1001 years old, I want to look back at this and say 'oh yeah, I remember now...' Cos by then, I'll probably have lost the few brain cells I have, from the frustration of dealing with Hermione all the time.
That girl's really getting up my nose. Does she do it on purpose or something? Just last week, I was in the room in Grimmauld Place where Snape usually sleeps, setting off some Mega-Stink Bombs (Weasley's Wizard Wheezes prototypes), with Fred and George. Of course, Little Miss Give-Snape-a- Break came in and got rid of the smell immediately. The whole Sirius thing has put the spirit of 'Carpe Diem' in her, and she's being ultra-nice to everyone, 'cos, I dunno, she's probably afraid she'll pop her clogs one of these days and burn in hell for moaning about her teachers.
Oh, I forgot to mention, I passed all my OWLs-I'm doing Care of Magical Creatures, Potions (yes, I got in, by a miracle!), Transfiguration, Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts. Dunno who the teacher is for DADA, there were no new teachers at the staff table, and Dumbledore didn't announce anything. I have double Charms tomorrow morning-Fred and George did it too, and they say Flitwick's like a maniac with his NEWTs class-I hope they're lying, as usual.
Oh yeah, Harry got into all those classes too-looks like we're on track to be aurors!

PS I think Dad knew the wizard who passed me in Potions for the OWLs. I can't wait to see the look on Snape's face when me and Harry turn up at his dungeon!
