New Friends
August 2nd
Well yesterday we went to Diagon Alley, straight after the letters came. I'm a Prefect!! So's Ron. He looked so proud, and I think Harry was actually happy for him. He's Harry Potter, he honestly does get a lot of privileges that noone else does anyway. But he would have made a great Prefect. But so will Ron. It must have been a hard choice for them to make. Am very surprised it wasn't Harry though. I really thought it would be – no offence to Ron or anything.
Harry bought Hogwarts, a History and promised to read it as well. He actually got quite a few books that he didn't need, I'm quite impressed. And he promised to let me read them and never to ask Ron to read them.
Fred and George disappeared into the alley for hours. Harry had a funny smirk on his face when they went, I should think he knows what's going on, he normally does. I bought some new robes and so did Harry. Thank God we don't need dress robes this year. I mean I liked the ball, but I don't think I could be assed to go through all that preparation and hassle again this year.
Malfoy was in Diagon Alley as well, with a Slytherin boy... Blaise Zambini I think his name is. He's got black hair, verging on red and brown, and brown eyes. He's quite tall. He's actually very handsome now I think about it. Well they didn't come and approach us, Malfoy just gave Harry a funny look, as if he wasn't sure about something, and Blaise just sneered at Ron. At least they didn't try to start a fight, Ron would pummel them, he's too hot headed for his own bloody good. I don't know what Harry would do.
Anyway Mrs Weasley introduced us to an Auror who was there picking something up. Her name was Nymphadora Tonks. She was really funny, and she's a Metamorphmagus!! I've never met one before, she's really fascinating, she knows loads of magic. Harry was flirting loads with her, she's not that much older than us, only 5 or 6 years. Quite funny really, as she was flirting back. Ron was looking at Harry as if he'd grown two heads. I don't think he's ever seen Harry quite so charming. Tonks is very clumsy though and she spilt ice cream all over Harry, which made him swear very loudly, and the entire street turned and looked at him. But he still wasn't embarrassed, he just shrugged it off and ordered her another ice cream. Not typical Harry behaviour.
All in all it was a good day, and in a week we're going somewhere to meet some more people. Don't know what, where, who or when really, but it should be good.
August 10th
Oh my God, you'll never guess where Harry, Ron, Ginny and me have been for the last 24 hours. Well Mr and Mrs Weasley and the twins came too. We're at Sirius' house!! It's the Headquarters to a resistance group against You Know Who, called the Order of the Phoenix. The house is nice, they have been restoring it since You Know Who came back. Sirius hates it, he didn't have the best childhood here apparently.
There are loads of people here all the time, people coming form places, delivering things... to be honest I haven't a clue in hell what these people are doing, but they're helping the Light side, and that's all I really need to know. Although I would like details. Tonks is here at the moment. She's so clumsy though, you'd think she was jinxed or something!! The real Mad Eye Moody is here as well, he's even more paranoid than the one we knew. Harry is very wary around him, he was the one who 'kidnapped' him straight after he appeared from the graveyard.
Sirius and Remus aren't here very much though. Sirius really hates this house, and not many people know he's innocent anyway. I think Harry's a bit pissed Sirius won't stay here, but I think he understands in some respect after the crappy time he has at the Dursleys. Ron's a bit miffed I think, I don't think he realised that Sirius was from a predominantly Slytherin house, rich purebloods, and with a lot of Death Eaters as well. He hates pompous pureblood families, mostly after seeing how Malfoy is most of the time. I think this a bit prejudiced really, Sirius is great, and he comes from a pureblood family. Hell, the Weasleys are pureblood anyway, totally hypocritical.
August 12th
Hmm... am very very confused. Need to talk to Harry. Dumbledore just came an hour ago and took Harry to speak to him on his own. No idea what he said but it pissed him off big time, and he stormed out, slammed the door and Flooed to Sirius and Remus' for the rest of the day. When Dumbledore came out, he looked older than I've ever seen him before, and he looked very sorry for himself. Must have been bad news I reckon. Doesn't look like anyone knows what it was about. They're all as confused as me and Ron.
August 13th
Oooh Friday 13th, day of bad luck. Well, Harry came back a couple of hours ago. He looked a hell of a lot better than when he stormed off. But he's still a moody bastard. Hasn't told us what's wrong. He said (in a very sarcastic voice), "It is confidential information, only to be released when it is deemed necessary." Then he proceeded to call Dumbledore a range of names, I don't think even Charlie or Bill Weasley could have come up with. So Dumbledore has told Harry something he can't tell us, but he wants to tell us, and has something to do with Gryffindor, as he kind of let it slip. Will do some research on the history of Gryffindor in the Black Library, just to make sure. There is a very impressive library here; it's almost as big as Hogwarts, even though half of the books are Dark Arts related.
August 20th
Very boring week. Found absolutely zilch on Gryffindor that clues me to the Harry situation. There's a load of crap about a big fight Gryffindor had with Slytherin like 1000 years ago, and a load of prophecies about an heir, but there is noone by the name Gryffindor anymore so I guess the line must have died out. Crap, as he – or she – could have helped with the You Know Who situation. Anyway, am looking forward to going to Hogwarts, as there will be more books I can look at. I HATE not knowing what's going on. May have to resort to bribery, on my part against Harry. Not to self, find blackmail material.
Not much else has happened. There's an endless stream of people here all the time, I don't think I've ever seen so many people in one house!! Anyway, I've looked over the boys homework, Harry's was suprisingly good, and Ron's wasn't... bad. The Care of Magical Creatures was actually really good, I never knew Ron was so good at it. Harry's best piece was Defence Against the Dark Arts, he had some information I didn't have!! He will definitely pass with an O at OWL Level. They're the Muggle equivalent of GCSE's. Fred and George are taking their NEWTS this year, they're supposed to be really hard. They're like A Levels, you only take 5, and you take 4 A Levels.
Anyway, only a week and a bit until we go to Hogwarts!! Woo hoo!!
August 23rd
Tonks is so great!! Me and Ginny just spent the day with her, and we had so much fun. I've never been one of the girls, gossiping, eating ice cream and that, but it was so much fun. We're gonna have to do it again. Hell, I'm in such a great mood, I would even consider doing it at Hogwarts. With Lavender and Parvati of course. Harry and Ron may be my best friends, but honestly they're such boys, and boys do not understand the pleasures of chocolate ice cream like girls do. Well I should think some boys do. But Harry and Ron do not.
As I suspected Ginny still fancies Harry, she admitted it. Actually Harry and Ron were the topic of conversation most of the time. For example, "Oh I do like this new, flirty Harry. He's so funny," (Ginny) and "Ron's starting to look a lot like Charlie isn't he?" (Me and Tonks – Tonks likes Charlie a bit apparently. Confidential information though. Ssshh!!). Bless Ginny though, I really don't think she's ever going to have a chance with him.
August 30th
Going back to Hogwarts tomorrow. I'm gonna miss it here, I really like this house, but I will be glad to get back to Hogwarts. I need to get to the library, I still need to do some more research on Gryffindor, Harry hasn't said anything else yet, despite Ron bugging him all of the time and me subtly hinting that I would like to know. Fuck that, I've been bugging him just as much, I haven't got a subtle bone in my body, thank you very much.
Anyway, I've been thinking. I'm nearly 16 yes? Only two weeks til I am, and I haven't had a boyfriend. Ever. At all. I'm gonna be legal so very soon and I've never been kissed. Isn't that illegal or something? It should be. It's not that I even want a boyfriend, I reckon I'd be complete and utter crap at a relationship, I just wanna know what it's like. Is that wrong? Well if its is, sue me, as that's how I feel. There's not even anyone I fancy. There has obviously been boys I've fancied. I liked Terry Boot, a boy in my Arithmancy class, but nothing happened. Victor was just a friend, nothing happened, and I didn't fancy him anyway. Ron was right, he was a bit grouchy. Not that I'd ever admit that to him. But ... he was right. I actually had a crush on Ron for a while, at around Christmas last year, I went to the ball with Victor to make Ron jealous, not that worked, so I let it go. Fuck, you don't just let something like that go do you? OK, so we have established... I fancy Ron. Oh my God. Never admitted that before. God help me now.
September 2nd
We're at Hogwarts!! Yay!! I miss Hogwarts when I'm not here, no matter where I am. It's like a second home to me. The journey here was strange, no normal visit from Malfoy. Maybe he finally grew up. Hopefully. Maybe Ron will follow – just because I fancy him doesn't mean I won't point out his flaws. He has plenty... no bad Hermione.
Anyway, there has been 4 new girl and 3 new boys sorted into Gryffindor. All seem very nice, little kids. Very little. Were we ever that little? We probably were. OK, I remember Harry being that small, he was that small for years. They're a bit intimidated by our Boy Who Lived really. Who is already exploiting said position as Saviour of the World, *just* because he can. Honestly, I don't know what's gotten into him. The girls seem to like it though, there's even more girls hanging round him than ever. Just in little gangs, watching him. He's no fucking better though, flirting with them and winking. Next time he does it, he's gonna get slapped round the back of the head. Ron's pissed off by it already, and I've already noticed him being distant. I'll have to talk to him.
Oh, and I haven't found anything on Gryffindor yet. Will continue looking. Harry knows I'm looking though, as he's seen me looking through books at breakfast, a habit I really should get out of as it seems to piss people off. So what if I study best early in the morning. Do they care? Not one bit. Maybe if I beg I might get a hint. Hmmm...
September 3rd
Harry is a git. Ron just told me and Harry that he liked Lavender, and an hour later Harry sits there in Transfiguration flirting with her, very blatantly. As if he's trying to prove something. Must look into that. Felt very sorry for Ron, even though it means I'm feeling the same as him. He's brooding over her, I'm brooding over him. What a mess. Is everyone's life this fucked up? Studying, that'll take my mind off of it. That's what I'll do. Fill my life with plenty else, and I'll forget about Ron. God, fantastic plan, don't you think?
