6:00 p.m. - sitting under a tree by the lake - I feel like I'm floating on a cloud! Today Draco kissed me for the first time! It actually wasn't gross, like most people would think it is.
After breakfast, Draco and I walked down the mountainside to a semi-secluded little area behind some rocks.
We both looked out at the scenery, and I said, "That sure is beautiful, ain't it? Where I'm from, you'll never see something like this."
"What does Oklahoma look like?"
"Towns are usually about ten miles apart so there's countryside in between them. The plains are rolling hills covered in crops, trees, and grass. The sun gives everything a subtle golden tint that's so beautiful some days. There are surprisingly a lot of little forested areas on the plains that survive, despite the heat."
He said, "It sounds like a great place."
"I suppose it can be, if you're not used to it like me. What does it look like in your part of the country?"
"We live on a mountain, and it's about like this. A rocky meadow leading downward, a forest and a lake on the edge, crisp air all year 'round."
After a moment, I asked him, "Why do you act so mean? You're always kind to me."
He replied, "I just always feel this pressure to keep up a tough image, to live up to the family name. I'm comfortable with you so I can be myself with no masks."
I knew it.
"You should show people this side of you more often. You might get more friends that way."
"Who said anything about wanting friends? Besides, some things should be saved just for those closest to you," he said with a smile.
Draco was getting dangerously close, and I didn't back away in the slightest. He whispered, "Can I kiss you?"
What a gentleman! I nodded, and his warm, soft lips were pressed to mine for a sweet moment.
"Oy! Don't be doing that kind of thing where people come and go every day!"
Ron and Hermione were walking down to us. Way to ruin the moment. Oh well. For the short time the kiss had lasted, it was absolutely fantastic. By far the best one I've ever had.
"So, what were you to doing coming to this secluded place together?" I did the suggestive eyebrow gesture that is oh so popular among teens.
They both blushed and avoided eye contact. I am so psychic.
Well, I'm going to go get me some supper and hang out with my roomies.

11:50 p.m. - in bed with flashlight - Oh my God. Oh my freakin' God. I just can't believe it. {A/N: sorry about that saying God's name like that, she is just in shock right now}
At about nine o' clock tonight, a prefect sent me to give some papers to Professor McGonagall. Everything was normal with the halls dakr and empty.
After a minute or so, I though I heard someone behind me. I stopped; they stopped. When I started walking again, the sound began again. ThoughI told myself it was just the echo of my own fottsteps, I remained nervous and quickened my pace.
I was suddenly shoved into a large broom closet. The other person in there said, "Hello, Melany. How nice it is to see you."
I recognised that voice. It was too dark to see his face, but I knew it was someone familiar.
I could sense him smile, "Mel, baby, you should have asked me out. You know that Malfoy's a good for nothing, worthless prat. I love you, and I always have. I've been watching your every move. You can't like Malfoy; nothing gets by me."
"Next time, just tell me you like me," I hid the fear in my voice as well as I could.
"Oh, my darling, but there shant be a next time!" his voice rose like a maniac's, "IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU, THEN NO ONE CAN!"
With a snap of his fingers, he turned on a light. It was Lee Jordan. Lee. One of my best friends. My stalker.
He grabbed my arms with one hand and took out a gun with the other. I struggled, but had no success because he was stronger than me. He put the revolver to my head. Just before he pulled the trigger, I kicked him as hard as I could and made him shoot the wall instead of me.
Dumbledore suddenly burst in with Snape, and the two took care of Lee from there. I owe my life to them because I didn't know where to go from there (the door was locked magically, and I had no wand). It's a good thing crazy people yell loud enough to wake people up.
They wanted Lee to still be able to do his school work so he'll be staying in the hospital wing. St. Mungo's was full, anyway. I just hope I can get to sleep tonight with him still here.
