A/N: On the train ride. You all know what happens on train rides. People talk to him. Here we go!
Disclaimer: Actually, the only two people who talk in this chapter are original characters. So, we do own them.... Then, do we really need a disclaimer? I guess. Anyways, we don't own people who do not appear in this chapter.
June 12, fourth year
Well, I'm going home. And what a year it's been! Between pretending to date Ginny. Living the torture of having to be close to her, and yet not close to her at all.
And then there was the whole secret keeping business about me being muggle-born. Voldemort's power is growing, more muggles and muggle-borns are dying. If this secret doesn't stay secret, I could be nex
Sorry, someone just barged in the compartment. I don't think she saw you, it's a good I closed you that fast.
Why do people always barge in here like they own the place? Can't a guy write in his journal or read in peace? Every year, in every direction, people just walk in here and start talking to me. I'm beginning to hate it!
Bet you're wondering who came in here. It was Stella... again.
"I thought you'd be sitting with Ginny," she said, sitting down not bothering to be invited.
"No." I looked back down at my book hoping she'd take the hint. She didn't.
"Now, why would that be? She is your girlfriend, isn't she?" she said with an odd expression on her face.
"Yes, she's my girlfriend. Not that it's any of your business."
"Why? There's nothing secret about it, is there?"
"No secret."
"So why isn't it my business?"
"Because, I don't like you."
She paused for a moment looking taken aback. "Yet it seems to be a lot of other people's business. Even some you don't like. Ron-"
"Ginny likes Ron." I pointed out making up an excuse.
"What about Draco?" My heart sped up, she couldn't know, she just couldn't. "I mean I've heard you and Draco planning dates for you and Ginny. One would thin k your both dating her!"
"We're not both dating her! He just... helped get us together."
"But he seems to be playing an abnormally large roll in this, doesn't he? Yes, a very big roll indeed. Why would that be?"
"What's with all the questions? Ginny's my girlfriend, it's no secret, but whom I am and am not sitting with is no business of yours! Why are you sitting with me to begin with?" And yet again diary I was frightened that she probably has a crush on me!
"I- well I- no reason." Yes she stuttered. I never thought I'd see her stutter. She always seemed so cool and collected, but not right then. "I've got to go. Other people to talk to." She quickly left after that.
Now journal I am left with a few questions. Does Stella have a crush on me? Does she know about the Ginny-Draco situation? What am I going to do about the Ginny-Draco situation?
At least I'm going home, away from it all, where I don't have to pretend to be close to the girl I love, don't have to worry that Stella has feelings for me, don't have to hide who I am. I'm leaving it all behind.
For now.
A/N: Oooh! What exactly does Stella know? Does she actually have a crush on Jeremy? Will Jeremy die over the summer? You probably know the answer to the last one, but you'll never guess the other two!
Oh, and the 'nex' is not a typo. He was interrupted and forgot to write the 't'.
