But I am not a poet
Not J. K. either
So...uh...neither?
June 31, Third Year
It's been a busy time. That's why I haven't written in a while. It's also been a scary time.
There was a Death Eater at Hogwarts. I saw him every week. I never even noticed, and I am very lucky that he didn't either. At any time, he could have done away with me. But he didn't.
And the Dark Lord's risen again. My identity has to be kept even more secret then before. I have my life to consider, and my families life. I used to tell these lies so I could succeed in this world, now I'm just trying to stay alive.
Now, on to less depressing matters. I just had another conversation with Ginny. She actually told me to call her that.
For a change, I came into her compartment. She was reading The Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. Her book was held in front of her face as she sat with her legs folded up on the seat. She was giggling quietly and brushing her hair behind her ears when she noticed I was there.
"Hi," she said, her voice cheerful and made my heart flip.
"Not many witches read Shakespeare." I could curse myself for saying that. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I can't even say hi.
"My dad gave it to me last summer. I needed something to read during the trip, and I picked up this. He's really excellent."
"That's why he's so famous. He can make you laugh in one play, and make you cry in another."
"Can you suggest another one I can read after I finish this one?"
This is when I convinced myself that I had gone insane. "Well, there's Romeo and Juliet."
"What's that about? I mean, besides Romeo and Juliet."
"It's one of Shakespeare's most famous plays. Romeo and Juliet's families hate each other, but they fall in love. I won't tell you how it ends though."
"That sounds interesting."
"' But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! Arise, far sun...'" Yeah, definitely insane, Journal. Definitely. I went through the whole verse, up until Juliet started to speak.
And she loved it all. She even said she would read it! Somehow, this makes up for all of what is happening in the world today. And right before I left, she smiled at me, and said it would have to last the whole summer and then she told me to owl her!
But then Ron came into the compartment and made me leave. I think he's a bit hostile to the person who knows one of his deepest, darkest secrets. But then, he might just be protective of Ginny.
But when I left, she smiled at me.
A/N: So sweet! Hey, does Jeremy sound too much like a girl? We really can't tell, but if anyone notices, let us know. We can try to sound more masculine.
Review! Review, review, review!
