September 2nd
This morning I got my class schedule. I'm taking all the same classes Ron and Hermione are taking. So far, my favorite class is Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall and my least favorite class is Potions with Professor Snape. He is so creepy. There were all these things floating in jars all around the dungeon where he holds his classes. I sat next to Harry. Professor Snape wasn't the only thing that frightened me today. This morning while we were eating breakfast in the Great Hall, I was eating an apple (I wasn't that hungry) and talking to Hermione about our classes, when suddenly I heard a loud rustling sound above our heads. It made me jump. I looked up to see a bunch of owls pouring into the room. They swooped around trying to find their owners to give them their mail, out of the corner of my eye, I saw two light blurs in the sea of brown heading towards our table. One of the blurs was Lavender!!! She dropped a letter into Harry's (he was sitting next to me) oatmeal. I retrieved it wondering who it was from. It was from Fleur, my cousin!!! She just wanted to know how I liked Hogwarts. After reading the letter, I took out a piece of parchment and a quill and started to write back to her.
"Hey, how do you know Fleur?" Ron demanded while looking over my shoulder as I wrote. I told them about Fleur being my cousin, Harry's face looked puzzeled.
"If you are related to Fleur, that means you're part vela, right?"
I smiled. "Yes, but I only have a few drops of vela blood in me," I bit into my apple, slowly looking down at my letter which I had neatly written in French.
"Oh, wicked, that means you can do that Veela thing, you know? Where you hypnotize a guy and make him fall in love with you?" Ron exclaimed.
"Oh, no," I shook my head. I didn't want another disaster like the Malfoy incident.
"Please, please, please," Harry and Ron begged me.
"No," I refused. They put on the 'Sad Puppy Dog' faces. I sighed.
"Oh, ok, but just this once," I looked around for someone to try it on which was really hard because hardly anyone was around. Then I noticed something. The seat across from Harry was empty. A devilish smile crossed my face. I got up and strode to the other side of the table and sat in front of him.
"Oh no, not me," Harry slid down in his seat.
"Ok, Harry, you need to relax your brain," I said, "let me concentrate."
I closed my eyes and imagined me and Harry being boyfriend and girlfriend really hard. After a moment of silence, I looked up and Harry said something that made my jaw drop. He said, "Will you marry me?" He just kept saying it over and over again. Hermione peeked over the top of her book and I could see that she was trying really hard not to laugh. The few people that were in the great hall looked at us like we were crazy as Hermione and I started laughing really hard while Ron was trying to keep Harry from saying anything. While he was doing that, Harry looked at Ron and asked him, "Will you marry me?" and at that, everybody in the room started guffawing really loudly.
"Lily! This isn't funny!" Ron squealed, "Make him stop!"
"Ok, Ok," I said and I concentrated on Harry and and snapped my fingers and Harry went back to normal. He even joined in on the laughter when I told him what happened! Well I gotta go, it's getting late. I'll write soon. -Lily
