Dear Diary,
Hogsmeade wasn't that bad actually. I know the grim is supposed to be an
omen for bad luck, but maybe it is supposed to trick me into thinking that
when it's not actually true. James is a nice guy--only when he's alone
though. His cronies must not have had the effect on him that I would
expect yet. I hope they never do, as I don't know what I would do if they
did. Oh, and we ran into Hilary. She just looked at James with that "I
told you so" look. He just shook it off, but I have the feeling it's
bugging him. I'm meeting with their crew later so I have to go. Hopefully
James acts kindly towards me. Be back later.
Dear Diary, Why did I even think he would act kindly when he was around his buds? I didn't exactly go downstairs in the common room and expect to find only two men, Remus and James, sitting right next to the grim! The only thing I noticed was that there was a little rat sitting next to him. The creepy thing about the grim was that it was talking! It sounded like Peter's voice--but I'm not sure. How could it be him; he and his friends aren't animagi! I have heard of unregistered animagi, but I don't think they would be...or are they?
Dear Diary. Well, James talked to me and cleared everything up. None of them are animagi, and he told me that 'if they were he would have told me'. We are in sixth year though so he must have matured a bit--the only thing is if he was lying to me about something as little as that I don't know if I'd ever be able to trust him again! He better not be lying to me!
Dear Diary, I admit it. I spied on Potter. And it was worth something. I saw Peter transform. He turns into a rat. And Sirius, well he's the grim. This must be a joke. I mean, I've been an animagus for a year and a half. Even I haven't registered myself. Maybe if I tell Potter then he'll admit about Peter and Sirius. Thing is, he's suck a prankster, I don't know if I can trust him. I turn into this cat, a ginger-colored one, when I transform. I told Dumbledore though, and so I haven't lost any trust. But still, if they are, someone should know about them, even if it's just me.
Dear Diary, Well, it's official. James told me how they are all animagi except for Remus. I asked him how he figured out how to become one and his exact words were "Well, I don't want to be snotty, but Sirius and I are two of the smartest kids in the whole school, and we figured it out. Peter needed some serious help though." No surprise there, Peter is one of the most stupid kids in the school. I didn't tell James--I mean, Potter, about myself being an Animagus, but he told me that he would tell Dumbledore. That's good to know. At least now I know that I hadn't seen a true grim back a week or so ago. Oh, and there's another ball coming up. Guess what though? The GIRLS ask the GUYS! I don't know what to do, Severus is really nice and all, and I do really like Remus, but lately I'm finding myself having feelings for--JAMES!! How could I? I seriously must be being controlled or something, otherwise how could I fall for such a FREAK as James? Yeah, he's been friendlier and not as much as a prankster lately, but still.
Dear Diary, Well, Remus is taken. He's going with my new friend Vanessa. Vanessa is a Ravenclaw and is really smart like Remus. And Sirius is also taken (he also has been calming down on the pranks, I guess they are finally growing up :)) by Vanessa's friend Lexy. I guess it's either James or Severus then. I know a few Gryffindor girls that have asked James but he hasn't said yes to anyone yet. Is there a chance he's waiting for me? I don't know. I think I'm just going to fly solo to the ball that way I can dance with both of them. Hopefully everything goes ok. I'll write after the ball.
---NEW ADDITION---
Dear Diary, That was very...er...interesting, to say the least. Here's what happened at the ball. I arrived at the ball to see everyone dancing. It was a great sight for me, especially since my friends were having fun. I spotted Potter across the floor. He was looking at me longingly. Who knows why though. As I walked over towards the punch bowl, he followed and we arrived at the refreshments table at the same time. Suddenly, the punch bowl spilled all over my dress. I turned around and who was standing there but Sirius. I know he enjoys pranks and all, but I wish he could have held it inside and not put some spell on me. Me, of all people! What did I ever do to him? Anyway, Potter followed me out of the room as I walked towards the bathroom. He began to follow me in there too until he noticed what he was walking into. There were at least five girls putting on makeup in there, what a bunch of stupidity. Who needs makeup? I walked back out and saw James cornered by the women. Obviously, he has that puppy-dog smile that I can't resist. So I went over and asked him to dance. I guess he was waiting for me because he agreed readily as we walked back into the ballroom. As a slow song started, Remus walked over to me, asking me for a dance. I told him that after my dance with James I would dance with him. I saw Vanessa eyeing me strangely, but once the slow song was over she cleared everything up. It was okay with her, so Remus and I had our dance. However, suddenly Remus started transforming into something. I don't know what, but it was something that looks like a werewolf. I saw James, Sirius, and Peter rush to his side and take him outdoors. Severus followed them, who knows why though. So I found myself back up here. The ball's not over, so I'm thinking of heading back down. But no one else that I want to hang out with is there, so what's the point? Vanessa left once Remus walked out, upset to say the least. I'll find a way to see why they all ran away tonight. I have to catch some sleep before it catches me, I'll write tomorrow.
Dear Diary, Okay. I'm officially confused. Remus wasn't at any of our classes today. And he never skips a class. Now that I think about it, none of James' crew was at class today. I guess they slept in. The ball was tiring, but still, I'd think at least Remus would make it to class! Anyway, Professor McGonagall (she's the head of Gryffindor House, she just started a few years ago) told me that I have a good shot to be Head Girl next year. That really made my day! I can't wait to get that badge! The thing is, she said that the Head Boy was not likely to be Remus; rather it would probably be James! How? His mind is full of pranks and girls, not school and the important stuff! Anyway, I have Divination now. Hopefully someone besides Vanessa is there, I don't want to partner with her in Divination (last time we partnered, I ended up with a crystal ball on my head because it 'worked better' there.).
Dear Diary, Divination was so pointless today. Remus and his crew finally returned to class, but Severus hasn't yet. I wonder what they did to him. If they did anything to hurt him again, I do not know what I will do. Anyway, I talked to Vanessa in Divination (I did get stuck with her, but this time we just were looking at tea leaves like in our third year.
Dear Diary, James and his crew are back. And boy am I surprised about what I just found out. I can't even write about it now. I'll write about it when I've calmed down later on.
