Okay, we seem to be getting about two reviews per chapter.  So people better bloody review, now.  Kay?  Right, we get to see more Stella in this chapter.  And some fun Draco comments. 

September 1, Sixth Year

RELIEF!  UTTER AND TOTAL RELIEF!  I MAY LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER BLOODY DAY!  YES!!!!

I bet  your wondering what I'm going on about now.  Yeah, I never explain myself, do I?  Well, I guess I do, but after I throw out random comments about my situation.  Pretty strange.

Anyways, I've spent the whole summer being in absolute terror.  I was sure Ginny was going to tell Draco what I said and he would never talk to me again.  He hadn't sent me a single letter all summer, which only provoked my fears.

Then, as I was wandering around the train, looking for a compartment, he yanked me into a compartment.  He was alone.  I was certain he was going to beat me up.  "Hey, Pritchard."

I was thinking, yeah, he hates me.

"So," he continued.  "I just heard that Potter, who's dating Brown, as of recently, isn't sitting with her on the train, so you don't have to sit with Ginny today."

Yeah, he defiantly hates me.  He doesn't even want me with Ginny anymore.  "I understand," I said flatly.

"That's cuz you're bright, Jeremy.  But you two can have a nice reunion after you get off."

He doesn't hate me!  My life had just gotten so much better!  Now I just had to deal with Ginny and the awkwardness there.  "We don't have to kiss, do we?" I asked distractedly.

"You're sixteen, Pritchard.  When are you going to get your self a girlfriend?"

"Hey.  I told you that in confidence.  And it's not like you two make it easy.  Last time I tried to end this thing, you wrote a script, remember?"

"Tell you what, Jeremy," Draco said.  "If you and your girlfriend come up to me, and talk about this, we'll stage a break up.  Is my proposition tolerable?" he joked.  He used big words to make fun of Greg sometimes, yet it never sounded as realistic.

"What would you do if I brought Vince, instead?"  I laughed at his expression.  "I'm kidding."

"Ah," he said.

And that was when the door opened.  Stella came in.  I noticed she had new blue streaks in her hair.  That had to be against dress code.  "Hi, Jeremy.  And Draco.  Hi."  She looked nervous.  I wonder if this had anything to do with our last conversation where she practically admitted to liking me.

"Hey, Araz," Draco said, nodding slightly.  Araz is Stella's last name, by the way.  "How are the safety pins?"

"They're fine.  One had a stomach flu the other day, but he's fine now.  I'll be going.  Bye Jeremy.  And Draco.  Bye."  And she left.  The scary part is, I don't know if she was joking or not about the sick safety pin.

"That was odd," Draco commented.

"I think she likes me," I said, trying desperately not to sound to happy about this.

"Not a good choice, Pritchard," Draco told me before leaving.  He was never one for long goodbyes.

So, now I'm alone.  With nothing better to do then write in this 'journal.'

It makes me wonder, though.  How come I haven't been kissed yet?  Am I not attractive.  Not that you would know.  I've never really explained myself to you.  Let me start, just to kill time.

I have brown hair, about the color of Ginny's eyes.  I keep it slicked back with some hair gel (not as much as Draco uses!).  My eyes are hazel.  Or bluish, most of the time.  But they change to green now and then.  I'm not particularly tall.  5'7".  I think my nose is a bit big.  That's about it though.  Oh, and I'm about 140 pounds.

Now, does that sound like a particularly hideous guy.  No.  I'm as good looking as the next guy.  So, how come the only girl who likes me, wears black all the time, has blue hair, and where's some very scary looking safety pins.  Whenever I see those, I think about acupuncture.  Ouch.

Anyways, I'll have to write later.  I don't want anyone bursting in here as people usually do during train rides.

A/N:  Don't you love the Stella scenes.  They're great.  She's so thought provoking, yes?  Okay, you don't know what I'm talking about, but trust me, it's gonna be hilarious.  Haha.  Right, next chapter:  Draco is a jerk.  Ginny is sad.  Jeremy is defensive.  And Harry actually speaks.  Yes, he does!   He has a whole line!  And he doesn't sound too stupid when he says it either.
