A/N: OK, first off, I just have to say how incredibly lucky I am to have
such WONDERFUL reviewers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry that I take so long
to update, but I do have a life (Although it's not much, lol) Ok, here's
the new chapter! R/R!
Dear Diary,
Today was a horrible day. Hermione is friends with Ron and Harry again, and I know it sounds selfish, but I am really upset over that! I mean, me and Hermione were getting so close! And although Hermione says she won't ignore me, I know Ron is the type that is just going to come in and ruin it all.
Plus, that's not the worst part; Hermione and Ron are going out! I didn't even know that Hermione fancied Ron, or visa-versa. Of course, I had a feeling, but then again, so did everyone. Everyone just expected Hermione and Ron to get together eventually. And I guess, it just finally happened. But what makes me mad, is that Hermione didn't even tell me she liked Ron! I know it sounds stupid, but aren't best friends supposed to tell eachother these type of things? I know you are entitled to your secrets, I mean, Hermione has no idea that I like her. But, in a way, I kind of almost think it is my business if someone likes my brother!
And that's not even all, Hermione blew me off to go talk with Ron! She was supposed to meet me after my quidditch practice, but no, she had to go talk with Ron. Right now, I'm not even sure if I am talking to Hermione, I yelled at her.
Today is the Halloween Hogsmede trip, and I am just about the only girl between fifth and seventh year not going with anyone! Even Hermione said to Ron: Ginny doesn't really have much of a love-life. Well guess what, she's right. Maybe I will go anyways, just to show everyone that I don't need a date to have fun. I'll have to think about it.
More later
Ginny
Hermione was getting ready for her date with Ron, she was extra excited because it was her first REAL date with her first REAL boyfriend. Sure, she had had Krum, but he was really not much of a boyfriend. Krum really didn't count, although he had liked her, she didn't really like him that much.
Hermione finished putting her hair in a half ponytail, when there was a knock at the door. "Who is it, and who do you want?" asked Hermione, not in a rude way though. But sharing a doorm with 4 other "popular" girls, she didn't think it was for her.
"It's Luna, and I want Hermione."
Hermione sighed, she wasn't exactly looking forward to going on a double date with Luna of all people. Hermione never thought that Harry would fancy Loony Lovegood. But Hermione put on her best face and answered the door.
"Are you ready? we are supposed to meet the guys out on the grounds." asked Luna.
"Yeah, just about ready." Hermione quickly applied a little bit of blush, and put on mascara. Hermione usually didn't put on makeup, but she decided to at least put on a little bit for a date.
"I didn't know you wore makeup." Commented Luna. It was just like Luna to commment on something like this.
"I usually don't, I just wanted to look nice." replied Hermione.
"For what?"
Hermione gave her a wierd look. "For...uh...Ron."
"Why? He sees you everyday." Luna asked.
"Because," said Hermione really not approving of Luna's annoying questions. "Because he's my date, and I want to look nice. You dressed up for Harry. So why can't I dress up for Ron?" If you could call Luna "dressed up; she was in an orange and black sweater, with a black pleated skirt, black tights with cats on them, and her mary-janes. Her hair was pulled back in ponytail and had earings that looked like bats, and it seemed they were magically animated to flap every once in a while. Luna sure had dressed up for Halloween.
"Fine," Luna scoffed, "But you'll soon find you picked the wrong Weasley." she added in an undertone.
"What?" said Hermione with a confused look.
"I just said fine."
"No, after you said fine you said something about the wrong Weasley." Hermione said, still confused.
"No I didn't, are you ready to go?"
"Are you calling me a liar?"
"No, I simply wanted to know if you are ready to go."
Hermione decided she would not win this situation with Luna. "Fine, whatever, let's go." And with that, Luna and Hermione were out the door.
Ginny decided to go to Hogsmede, despite the fact that she was a "dateless wonder" as Lavender Brown (who she had not even previously associated with) had called her when she was on her way to Hogsmede.
Ginny entered Hogsmede and felt the familiar rush that she got when she went there. She looked around and decided to go to the Three Broomsticks.
The bell rang as she entered, she looked around to see alot of people from school, most of them, accompanied by dates. As she passed by one couple, who she recognized as two Ravenclaws from her grade, the girl pointed and said: "Hey Dave! Look! It's the dateless wonder!" her date Dave started laughing and pointing at her. Ginny felt tears sting her eyes, but she moved on. It seemed she had been labled as the dateless wonder, or as another kid she passed by he yelled, ugly duckling.
Ginny finally took a seat in the farthest corner. Why were they calling her names? why were they making fun of her? what had she ever done to any of them?
"What'll it be?" A lady that Ginny recognized as Rosmerta asked.
"Um...just a butterbeer." replied Ginny. Her hunger had gone the minute she stepped into the Three Broomsticks.
Five minutes later, Rosmerta arrived with her butterbeer. "Here you go missie." Rosemerta turned around to leave, but stopped and turned back around to face Ginny. "Say, do you know what those kids keep laughing at?"
Ginny folded her arms. "They're laughing at me."
"But why?" asked Madam Rosemerta.
Ginny sighed as Madam Rosemerta took a seat. "Because I'm a dateless wonder, and an ugly duckling."
"A what?" asked a confused Rosmerta.
"A dateless wonder, it's the kids new nickname for me because I don't have a date. I don't even know why they keep calling me it, it's not as if i'm the only one in my age range without a date!" replied Ginny huffily.
"Well, that's just downright mean! And besides, your a pretty little gal! Why can't you get a date?" said Rosmerta, now she was interested.
Ginny sighed again. "I dunno, I can get a date, I just turned them all down."
"Why?"
Ginny pondered telling this complete stranger it was because she was madly in love with someone else. And this someone else was a girl and could never like her back. But instead, she said: "Because, because....ummm...well, I just don't like anyone who has asked me."
Comprehension seemed to dawn on Madam Rosmerta's face. "Oooooooh, I get it, you've got a thing for someone else."
"I most certainly do not!" Ginny lied.
Rosmerta raised her eyebrows. "Come on, who is it?"
Ginny shook her head, there was NO way she was going to tell a stranger how she had a thing for Hermione.
Rosmerta leaned back in her chair. "Wow, you must really have a thing for this boy."
"She's not a boy!" Ginny blurted out and then put her hand over her mouth immediatly. How could she have just done what she had done?
Rosmerta's eyes got wide. "What?"
"Nevermind."
"No, no, look, don't be embarresed. So you like a girl?" Rosemerta said calmly. It seemed after the initial shock, she had calmed down.
Ginny wanted to just get up and run. But Rosemerta seemed to be bieng nice about this. "Yes." replied Ginny.
"Well, it's normal for kids your age to be attracted to the same sex. It's probably just a phase." said Rosemerta philisophicly.
Ginny had heard this plenty of times before. "No, it's not just a phase. I know it's not, I really like Hermione." Ginyn gasped again and covered her mouth. This was the second time that day she had revealed something she hadn't wanted to reveal.
"Hermione?" Rosemerta said. "Hermione Granger?"
"Yes."
Before Rosemerta could reply, a voice from behind the counter yelled:"Rosemerta!!!!! GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!!!!!"
Rosemerta sighed and rolled her eyes. "Ok, well, you heard the man, I have to get back to work. But if you ever need someone to talk to, i'm here, ok?"
Ginny liked Rosemerta, she was nice. "Ok, I'll be sure to come back next Hogsmede trip."
Rosemerta went back to her job, and Ginny went back to her butterbeer. After a few moments, Ginny heard familiar voices and turned around to see who it was.
It was the last group of people she wanted to see at that moment. Hermione, Ron, Harry and Luna walked through the door. They looked like they were having a great time, and they were all laughing about something. Ginny quickly tried to position herself so they wouldn't see her. She really didn't want to talk to any of them.
But unfortunatly, that red hair gave her away. Luna spotted her. "Hey Ginny! come over here!"
Ginny groaned and got up. She slowly walked over to their table. Hermione was obviously trying to make her face show no emotion, because they obviously were still in a fight.
"Come, sit down!" gestured Luna to a chair in between her and Hermione. Ginny didn't want to seem rude, so she reluctantly took a seat.
After a few moments or akward silence, Luna said: "So Ginny, are you here by yourself?" Ginny stared daggers at her. Luna knew very well that Ginny was there by herself.
"Yes. So, how are is it going? I mean you guys' date?" asked Ginny, not that she really cared, but she wanted to change the subject.
"Oh, we are having a great time." said Hermione coldly, it was obvious she was trying to make Ginny annoyed, and so far she was doing a good job. "Shame you couldn't find a date Ginny." Hermione said while she put her arm around Ron.
Ginny crinkled up her nose in disgust, but quickly did a fake smile. "Well, I don't really care, i'm not," Ginny turned slowly to face Hermione. "desperate."
"Do you know why everyone is pointing over here every once in a while?" asked Harry, again trying to change the subject.
"I don't know, probably because of you Harry." Ginny said, trying to cover up the fact that they were pointing at her, the "dateless wonder"
"Oh yeah, well, i'm used to it." said Harry solemnly.
"Well I don't want to intrude on your date any longer, so I better be going." Ginny said uncomfortably.
"Ok, tata!" replied Hermione with fake cheeriness.
"Bye." Ginny said and walked off.
