Dear Diary, August 22
Hi, well, let's see. I'm not really sure what one should write in a diary, but my best friend, Ginny, seems to think it'll be beneficial to me. So, here it goes. I guess I'll start with the basics.
My name is Hermione Anne Granger. I'm an only child, with two wonderful parents. I'm also a witch. Boy what a shock that was to them, seeing as they're both muggles, non-magical people.
I'm a measly 5'3" and am, I'll admit, aBIToverweight, coming in at a grand total of 138 pounds. I'm a bit unhappy with my weight, but I'll get to that later.
I'll be 22 years old this September. How exciting! It's only a month away. And yet, it's depressing at the same time. So much has happened in my 21 going on 22 years of life. And so much HASN'T happened.
I'll talk about that later too.
Moving on to the rest of the basics.
I live in a studio apartment, fairly close to the Ministry of Magic. But far enough away the place isn't as run down as the other buildings in that area are. Ginny, the one I talked about earlier is my roommate for the time being. She and Harry are getting married May 24th of next year. The guys live in that area as well, Harry and Ron I mean, just a few blocks away. Looks like both Ron and I will have to search for new roomies. That could prove interesting.
I work at the Ministry of Magic in the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures department. Truthfully, the job wasn't all I'd hoped it would be. Sure, I was able to pass a few laws for Elfish Welfare and the Equality Act, which overrode all the petty laws that made it hard for people like Lupin to get a job and earn acceptance in society, but now there's really nothing left to do in the department, at least, that I think should be done. Which brings us to the disappointment I feel staying in my field of work.
Lately, there's nothing left to do but sit at the desk and wait for the day to end. More and more lay-offs are occurring, as well as transfers. My job is one of the few left in the department, and it's only a matter of time before it's ended as well. All I know is, I don't want to be transferred, and if they ask me to, IABSOLUTELYwon't.
I just want my job to end, so I can look for a new one. I was thinking about opening a Café Bookshop type thing. I've got a bit of money saved up, so I don't see why I shouldn't. I think I'll talk to Ginny and the guys (Harry and Ron) about it. See if they think I can do it. Maybe the twins also, they know all about running a business. Granted this is a totally different field, but still, they could be helpful.
Got to go. The boss is coming in. I wonder if I'll be fired. Cross your fingers. Wait, you don't have any. Scratch that sentence.
Bu-bye,
Hermione
)))))(((((
So, what do you all think? I had this idea for a while now and just wanted to put it out there. See if anyone liked it, and if I should continue with the idea. Right now, the direction of the story isn't really clear, but I'll see what you think about an update.
Review please. Flamers and such...I don't care.
