My parents just sent me this journal for my birthday. Why they would send me a journal of all things is beyond me. I've never asked for a journal in my entire life, I find them annoying and time-consuming, and quite frankly I've been a bit scared of the things since my second year when Tom Riddle possessed my best friend Ginny Weasley through a diary. I guess they bought it for me because most teenage muggle girls really enjoy writing in journals. Okay, I might as well just make some use of this thing. My name is Hermione Granger, Mione for short, and I'm 17 and in my seventh year and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am the head girl and the head boy, unfortunately, is Draco Malfoy, the guy who's made my life a living hell for the past seven years. I have wavy dark brown hair that comes down to mid-back, Malfoy refers to it as the 'nest of death' but it has actually tamed down quite a bit since then. I also have brown eyes and tanned skin. I am about 5'5 and according to my friends "have a body to die for" although I really don't see it. I used to be a real bookworm and know-it-all but I've calmed down. Although I still love books they are no longer my life. This past summer when my cousins Monica and Lauren, who are also witches, came over from America, they decided to give me a make-over and I bought a whole new wardrobe. My best friends are Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, and her older brother Ron.
Harry- messy black hair (way to hard to try and tame) and green eyes. He has really grown up since our first year. He's now 6'1, and has a really nice body (thanks to quidditch). He's currently dating Ginny. Harry is really like an older brother to me.

Ginny- straight and layered auburn colored hair that reaches her shoulders. Although she's kind of short (5'2") she's really pretty and has awesome curves. She has blue eyes and freckles across her nose.

Ron- red hair and clear blue eyes. Quidditch has done his body good too and he's just an inch taller than Harry.

Sweet dreams

I know I'm head girl and smart but there are two things in this world I don't think I'll ever understand: flying and love. Prof. McGonagall has just informed me that there will be a flying N.E.W.T and because I haven't taken flying since first year and sucked at it then, I'm going to have a tutor. Now I thought my tutor would be someone like Harry or something. You know someone who could fly well and someone I could tolerate, but obviously McGonagall thought otherwise. Sure he may be a good flyer and he's the only one who could give Harry a run for his money, but Draco Malfoy is definitely not someone I can tolerate. Oh lord this is going to be a loooong year.
