Just got this stupid diary back today-I dropped it into the laundry basket by mistake, and Dobby brought it up to the dorm. He gave it to Harry, who I HOPE didn't read it! But anyway, loads of stuff's been happening:
Harry's still being a grumpy git. I know that makes me sound heartless, but he's not even TRYING to be cheerful. Hermione is really upset-she'd love to talk about Sirius and everything that happened at the end of fifth year, but Harry starts acting all strange and walks off every time Sirius is mentioned. It's not fair! We all liked him too, and spent as much time with him as Harry did. I know he has that who godfather/godson relationship with him, but still, he could make an effort.
Harry was named Gryffindor quidditch captain-no surprise there, we all knew it'd be him. Try-outs are on tomorrow, and I'm hoping Ginny makes the team!
I jinxed Malfoy in the corridor the other day, and got ten points taken off Gryffindor for it. There's no fun in getting one over on Malfoy any more, he has no fight left in him. Only once has he reacted when I teased him-it was on Saturday, when I said his dad had got what he deserved. He went really quiet, and said 'My father will have his day, when the Dark Lord rewards him for his loyal service.'
I said 'Loyal cock-up, more like', and Pansy Parkinson got all snotty, until Hermione threatened her. Harry's useless, he never fights back anymore. Professor MacGonagall asked me how he was doing, and I said 'crap.' Not only did I get a ten minute lecture on bad language and manners, but she also wants me to look after Harry now! He's not a bloody toddler! If only he'd start talking about what's on his mind, then at least we coluld understand where he's coming from. I miss the old Harry.
Oh, I almost forgot, the reason I got into Potions for NEWTs level is that Professor MacGonagall stood up for me and Harry, and practically ordered Snape to let us in. She thinks we'll make great aurors. Bill told me that, by the way.
Our DADA teacher is Lupin, thank GOD we got him back! That was the one thing that cheered Harry up. But after their first chat, Harry's been avoiding Lupin like the plague-Lupin says Harry needs to come to terms with things in his own time. I just wish his own time was a little bit faster!
Ginny's current obsession is the DA. She's begging Harry to start it again, but he says he doesn't want to. The rest of us would love to continue, but we need a teacher! Ginny said if she has to she'll ask Professor Lupin for extra classes outside the timetable. I think everybody in the school is now afraid that no matter how good our DADA teacher is, the course is restricted, and we only have 3 classes a week.
The Chang girl is hanging around Harry all the time, and Corner, Ginny's ex is getting jealous. Serves him right. It serves her right too, being stuck with that scumbag. Harry's not falling for her cutesy eyelash-fluttering routine this time. Ha. My motto is never date a Tornadoes fan. It'll only end in tears.
My grades haven't been too bad so far. Hermione's freaking out because the NEWTs are only two years away, shock horror!
Anyways, I'd better go. Harry's just left to go practice quidditch, and I've invited myself along.
Ron.
September 14th: GINNY
I have NEVER been so busy in my whole life-between practicing for quidditch try-outs, all the homework us 5th years get, trying to write to Mum and Dad and keep them updated on how Harry and everyone else is, and trying to encourage people to start of the DA again, I have NO time to myself. And no time for Dean. We split up, but I've ordered him not to tell Ron, because I know my dear brother will blame him and probably put him in the hospital wing. But Dean and I just weren't getting on well as boyfriend and girlfriend. He fancies Padma Patil anyway.
Cho Chang is being so sweet to Harry it makes me want to throw up. She's going out with Michael, but I think she feels guilty because of what Harry's gone through lately. Harry's having none of it. He's not having much of anything recently-all he does is sit in a corner by himself, or walk around the grounds, or practice Seeking. I feel so sorry for him, but he really needs to pull himself together now. Or at least TRY!
Professor Lupin is a fantastic teacher-I've learnt more in two weeks than I did all last year with the Umbridge woman. He misses Sirius like mad, and loves talking about him. He really wants Harry to come and see him, but Harry's staying well clear, for some reason or other.
Snape is worse than ever. All the other teachers are pretty much the same. Bill's coming over tomorrow, to visit Ron, Harry, Hermione and I.
I'm going to ask Lupin what he thinks about starting up the DA as an official school club, since Harry won't run it this year. I hope he says yes, I don't want to find myself needing serious defence spells, and not knowing enough to defeat a Death Eater.
I'd better go, I can hear Hermione crying in the next dorm.
Love, Ginny

I'm going to bed now-Hermione was crying because met Harry and Ron heading down to the quidditch pitch, and asked Harry if she could talk to him for a minute. He said no, and walked straight past her. She told him to stop acting like he was the one who died, it was Sirius who was gone, and Harry shouldn't let a part of himself go too (I know, I never understand her pyschoanalysis, I just find it best to nod and smile). Harry turned on her, and despite Ron's best efforts to shut him up, he called her every insulting name under the sun before storming out. Ron tried to comfort her, but she rushed up here, and refused to tell the story to anyone except me. I hope Harry gets better soon!
Bye
Love
Ginny
