A/N: And you thought we were on an updating streak.  Ha!  Okay, we've updated now, even though there was a rather long break between the last chapters.  Enjoy!

Disclaimer:  Okay, this is like the fourth one I've written today.  Get the bloody picture already!

July 2,

Sorry to keep you in the dark for so long, Journal.  In case you were wondering, we're all fine.

We only met a bit of trouble on the way out.  Because I was the wandless one, Draco pushed me to the side to protect me.  He did it a bit hard, because I fell against a wall and broke my arm.  That's why I didn't write sooner.

Ginny got a Crutacious Curse, but she's fine.  Draco was the one who saved us all.  Stunned about ten Death Eaters, including his father, (really this time) and escaping from the He-Who-Must-Not-ect., who was just coming down the hall to kill us when Draco apparated. 

I wonder if I should call him Uncle You-Know-Who.

Anyway, Potter and Weasley (Ron) came to visit us in the Hospital Wing.  They forgave me for being in on the whole Draco and Ginny thing.  Oh, yeah.  They forgave Draco and Ginny as well.

And Stella came last night.  Very late.  She snuck in, I'm sure, but I don't know how.  All I know is I woke up suddenly and saw her outline in the darkness.

"Stella?" I whispered, somehow knowing it was her.

She didn't say anything.  She just reached out and put her warm hand over my cold one.  We sat there for a while, until she let out a sob and rushed out of the room.

Why couldn't she have come to rescue me instead of Ginny and Draco?  Not that I don't like Ginny and Draco, it's just that I missed spending time with her.  In retrospect, kissing her was not  a good idea.

So, that's where I am.  In the hospital wing with no girlfriend.  At least I have an uncle.  Just kidding.

Draco woke up and came over to talk to me just now.  I decided to write this in the same entry, because what's the point of starting a new one.

He said, "You still have that diary, Pritchard?"

"It's a journal," I insisted, smirking a bit.

"I'm sure.  Listen, I wanted to apologize for hitting you.  And yelling at you.  And not talking to you.  And helping Ginny tell people that you were gay."

"That's fine.  It was all for-hey!  You helped her with that?"

Draco grimaced, looking ashamed.  "Yeah."

I sighed.  "Well, no point in getting angry now.  Looks like I might have to be gay to ever have a relationship."  Me?  Bitter?  No way!

Draco laughed.  "That's what you get for completely devoting yourself to one girl.  Just because it worked for Lancelot, doesn't mean it's going to work for you."

I rolled my eyes.  "I wasn't talking about Ginny.  I'm actually having girl problems with ANOTHER girl."  I decided to let Draco know that I am over his girlfriend, so less awkwardness between us.

"Really?"  Of course, then I told him the whole thing about Stella.  He started to laugh when I was done.  "You just can't stop liking girls who like me, can you?"

I decided that that wasn't funny.  Draco gave me advice which I'm sure will be useless.  I mean, look what happened in his relationship.

Now I'm here, just as bored as I was when I was captured, but at least less hungry.

I wish Stella will come back tonight.

A/N:  We're all still feeling sorry for Jeremy, right?  About two more chapters left!  We're striving for 200 reviews here, so be generous.  We wouldn't say no to more then that as well...
