September 2 -
8:55 a.m. - double potions with Slytherin - Shit. Snape just has to assign partners this year, doesn't he? I am stuck with Malfoy for an entire year. Right now I'm being very careful so he can't see what I'm writing or down my shirt. He keeps scooting closer so he can lean over my shoulder (probably to smell my perfume), and he doesn't even believe I notice. And to think, I used to tell myself I was just imagining things when he did that shit.
Snape just noticed we're done with our work, and I'm writing something. Double shit. Good thing I put a chamr on this notebook so no one can read what I'm writing unless I want them to. All he'll see is carefully taken notes on potions. Hehe.
9:00 a.m. - walking down the hall on way to Herbology -
Snape picked up my journal and said, "Writing in your precious diary about your crush? Let us see what you have written."
The whole class stared as I tried not to smile.
He read aloud, "Level Four Sleeping Draught - only use in emergency, can cause permanent damage (such as death, purple spots on skin, permanent hives, itching in private areas, and loss of limbs). Ms. Simmons, taking these notes a bit late, are you? Ten points from Gryffindor! Next time, take your notes during the lesson. Class dismissed!"
Oh well. I doubt anyone'll blame me too much because they all know what an ass he can be. To tell you the truth, I think I got off easy.
Malfoy's behind me and getting closer. I hope he doesn't try to talk to me or anything. He is so annoying. Walk faster, Mel!
9:50 a.m. - Herbology with Slytherin - You know that saying, "Saved by the bell"? I could tweak it a tiny bit and easily apply it to what just happened.
Malfoy sat down two seats away and passed me a note. It read:
Mel, I'm not exactly sure how to word this so I'll just come out and say it. So you want to go out with me? There, I said it. Please let me know so I won't be left in suspense.

The teacher said, "Alright, class! Quiet! now, get out your supplies for today's lesson, and write down the assignment on the board."
Saved by the teacher.
9:15 p.m. - empty common room (everyone's exhausted after the first day) - Nothing very eventful happened after that class, with the exception of Neville turning his shoe into a bucket of cement. Poor kid... Anyway, I just finished my homework. Way too much for the first day. What're they trying to do to us?
I avoided the Asshole as much as possible today, with success. Luckily, I didn't get stuck by him in any classes other than Potions. I'll have to be confronted sometimes, probably tomorrow in Snape's class. I'll ask Ginny for help before breakfast. Wish me luck...
A/N: I have a scene I should put in the next chapter (if not, chapter 4) that should be pretty interesting. R&R No flames!
