This Is NOT A Diary

Chapter Three

Introducing Tara

Hermione's Diary

Friday 7th

Ginny gave me this journal, I've read all about these kind of magical objects! I've always wanteed one, but then ... well with everything that happend to Ginny in her first year, you know. Well do you? I don't even know if you know or if you just kinda of have to learn it. But I remember reading something, I wrote my name in the front cover, so you know my name and my ... life story? I guess you could call it that. So does that mean you know all about my friends too? Or does that just --

Hold on, hold on dear! My Hermione, you know a lot don't you. Let me start this from the beginning. Yes I do know a bit about you, not very much, just the obvious, you are Harry Potter's friend, you're very smart, you're in you your sixth year ... and that is pretty much it. I know all about Ginny though, her story has been going around from diary to diary ever since her first year at Hogwarts when that all happend to her. But that's pretty much all I know. I'd love for you to give me a name, then you can tell me all about your friends, it's fun to get to know your life in greater detail, it'll be easier for me to listen to whatever you write in here if I know you better.

You need a name! Of course, alright well ... how about Tara?

Tara! Oh I love it! Tara ... Tara ... Tara! Yes I like that! Alright now, tell me about your friends! I've heard wonderful stories about all four of you.

Okay, well lets see. There's Harry who you probably already know a lot about. He's like my brother, he's always there for me. I don't know what I'd do with out him! And Ginny, she's sweet. She's Ron's little sister, but she's my best girl friend too. It's really cute, Harry and Ginny have gotten so close this past year, those two spend such long hours sitting in the common room talking. It's so great, I mean ... it's nice that they like eachother. Well, no. They say they're only friends but Ron and I can tell they like eachother.

Does Ron mind that his best friend and sister like eachother?

No, he actually likes the idea. He trusts Harry and he would rather it was him than any other kid at Hogwarts. It's nice, we're all so close, like family - already. Ron's really great too, which is odd because I never thought I'd live to see the day I said that!

Why is that Hermione?

Well ... Ron and I have always been at eachother's throats ever since we met back in first year. We could barely ever stand in the same room without fighting over the stupidest little things. But last year at Grimmauld Place, Harry was just so upset about everything, he was so mad. Ron and I tried our best to not get mad at eachother, for Harry's sake. Now we don't even think about it, we just get along all the time. It's probably a great thing for the the Gryffindor's too. We use to yell so loudly the whole school shook! But that's not how it is anymore. I mean, Ron and I are actually really close. It's so nice. Every evening we walk around the grounds together, no matter how much homework we have or what test we have the next day, we drop our stuff and walk together. It's so nice. I'm really glad Ron and I stopped fighting, we're closer now. Well ... I mean, we still fight from time to time, but nothing bad. Just yelling and name calling, but then ten minutes later it's okay again.

You and Ron seem to have a growing relationship. He seems very nice.

Oh he is! He's always sticking up for me no matter what. When Draco Malfoy (a slimy Slytherin boy) calls me a Mudblood Ron is the first to react, Harry and I always end up having to hold him back. One of these days he's gonna kill Malfoy.

He seems like a wonderful friend ... but an even better boyfriend.

WHAT?!

Well think about it Hermione! It seems like Ron likes you. Don't you think so?

NO! He does NOT like me! We're only friends. I mean ... I don't no. Oh Merlin!

There must have been times when it seemed as though he liked you?

Well ... fourth year, yes. But that was just Ron being Ron! He's such a stupid git sometimes. That was nothing.

What happend in fourth year?

What? Oh, we had this Yule Ball and Victor Krum --

The quiddtich player?

Yes. He asked me to the ball and I said yes. After that Ron went crazy, he said I was fratrinizting with the enimey (Victor was competing against Harry in the Tri Wizard Torniment). Then at the ball I finally had it, he had given me so much problems over the few weeks that I yelled something to him ... which left him kind of speachless ... but NO! We're just friends. I don't like him like that and he doesn't like me like that!

What did you yell?

Huh?

What did you yell to him at the ball?

... 'You know what the solution in don't you Ron? NEXT TIME ASK ME BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES, AND NOT AS A LAST RESTORT.'

Oh.

Yeah.

I think at that moment you both realized how you felt for eachother.

We didn't realize anything because there was NOTHING to realize. That was just us fighting over something stupid.

Alright dear, if that is what you would like to call it. But don't ever think you've closed that door behind you. When you least expect it, it will fly open once more - if it hasn't already done so.

Could we please change the subject?

Sure, whatever you want.

All right. What should be talk about now?

Tell me about Harry and Ginny, if you don't want to talk about you and Ron.

Okay, well they keep saying they're only friends, but Ron and I can tell they like each other. It's cute. Harry brings her hot soup when she's sick, he helps her with her homework; he's done most of it before since he's a year older than her. She helps him come up with new Quidditch plays; he's captin of the Gryffindor Quidditch team so he has to plan things out, she helps him with that stuff. She's on the team too, she's a chaser.

They seem sweet. Do you think things will work out for them?

No ... not to soon. I mean Ginny use to like Harry, when she was younger, but last year she got over him and that's why they're friends now. But I think Harry's started to fall for her, he just doesn't know it yet. Ginny likes him too, but she wont admit it to herself, she's thinks the only way to talk to Harry is to be his friend. She doesn't want to think about liking him as more than that right now. I hope it works out for them, though. They look good together and they already act like they are dating, minius the kissing.

It's cute. When Ron and I leave for our nightly walks those two find eachother, if they weren't together before we leave. If Ginny's doing homework on a common room table Harry finds her and helps her out. If Harry's out on the Quidditch pitch, practising some plays, Ginny grabs her broom and tries to find the snitch before him. Once Ginny was in her dorm and he sent a fourth year he didn't know up to look for her. It's very cute.

Does he only look for her when you two aren't around? (I wont even mention the fact that you and Ron go on walks together ... alone.)

No of course not. Quite a few times Harry leaves Ron and I to find Ginny. He takes her to Hogsmeade and they're always hanging out. They're friends. We're all friends, so Ginny's usually with us too.

That's very sweet.

Yes it is.

I can't help but mention it! I'm sorry! But I have to. You and Ron go on walks alone?

Yeah, we do. Why?

That seems so romantic. It's adorable!

No, we just walk around and talk.

About?

Everything. Harry, the battle against the Dark Lord, homework, friends, family. We never miss a walk. Every night we leave the common room and walk around. The grounds, the castle. I love walking with him because I can tell him about all the things I worry about and he always knows the right thing to say. He never tries to brush my problems off as nothing. If I tell him something he takes me seriously. Although he does like to tease me about some things, but I know he just does it to annoy me.

That is very very sweet. When do you guys usualy go on your walks?

Every night. Whenever we feel like leaving we find each other and we just walk out. And speak of the devil, Ron sent Lavender up to the dorm to tell me to get down there. I'll talk to you later?

Have fun.

Bye.
