I am so glad it's Friday! I am so exhausted...my lessons have been really hard, and I've had a huge mound of homework. I still do, but at least I have time to do it now. It was so hard telling Harry I wouldn't be able to go to Hogsmeade this weekend. The conversation today sort of went like this:

Harry: So...how are you doing?

Me: Fine, except that I have so much homework.

Harry: Yeah, you're in your O.W.L. year. I thought I was going to explode with all the homework I had in my fifth year.

Me: That's how I feel now.

Harry (chuckling): Poor you.

Me (laughing): Poor me indeed.

Harry: So maybe you need a time-out or something?

Me (raising an eyebrow): What are you suggesting Mr. Potter?

Harry: Well, Hogsmeade weekend, could you go with me again?

Me (looking down at my feet): Well...eum....

Harry (looking at me looking at my feet): Yes?

Me: I can't.

Harry (shrugging): That's okay, I understand.

Ron (coming into the room): Harry understands something!

Harry: Shut up Ron.

Ron (pretending to be hurt): My best friend just told me to shut up. (closes eyes dramatically)

Hermione comes in the common room.

Ron: Hermy!

Harry and I snort and try to hide our laughter.

Hermione's eyes narrow.

Hermione: You are not Grawp, so you will call me Hermione and not Hermy.

Ron (grumbling): Okay fine.

Hermione giggles and kissed my brother. I turn around, not wanting to see that. Harry sees me turn around and grins. Then he kisses me.

Ron: Harry! Ginny! We don't want to see that!

Harry: Well, we don't want to see that what you were doing either.

Ron and Hermione blush.

Me: So I suggest we all go and find private places.

Harry wiggles his eyebrows: Really?

Me (smiling): hm-hm

Ron and Hermione: Well, then, goodbye.

Harry: Are you in a hurry?

Ron: Yes, actually.

Hermione elbows Ron: Not really.

Harry: Okay, we understand.

Me: Go on ahead! We don't need you two.

Hermione: No, it's not that we don't want to be with you two...

Ron drags Hermione out of the common room.

Harry: Well, that takes care of them.

Me (giggling): Did you want them out of here?

Harry: Yes actually. I wanted to be with you.

Harry takes my hand and leads me out of the common room and we go for a walk.

And now that "walk" is over, so I am here, in my bed. Anne is already snoring. I simply must get one of those things where you can record the sound and then play it again. What are those things called? A tabe recorder? I'll owl Dad in the morning. He knows about this sort of Muggle stuff.

Anyway, I better go to sleep, then I'm awake tomorrow when I have to do my homework. Goodnight!
