Authors note: Hope this is a bit better than last chapter

I suppose my first entry wasn't very informative so I think that I'll make this one my first "official" entry. My name is Hermione Granger, I am 16 years old, and my birthday is September 19. I go to school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For those of you that know anything about the company I keep, one of my best friends is Harry Potter, AKA, the boy who lived. I know how everyone thinks I fancy Harry (partial credit for this goes to that horrible woman Rita Skeeter) because he's the one who gets all of the attention. He doesn't mean to, it just happens. They think I like attention. That would probably be the farthest thing from the truth. I am, on the other hand, very much in love with my other best friend, Ron Weasley. Definitley not as rich or as famous as Harry, Ron has something about him. His wonderful personality makes people like him. (Cept' Malfoy. We don't like that Slytherin scum ;-) ) To those of you that know about me, you probably think this is ridiculous, but think what you want. So I guess you could say you know a bit about me now.

Well, Ron asked Fred if he'd go to Hogsmeade with me at the end of the day. I wasn't supposed to hear, but I leaned against the wall so I could.
Ron: "Hey Fred!"

Fred: "What?"

"Come over here so I can ask you something!"

"Okay, what do you want?"

"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go with Hermione to Hogsmeade tomorrow."

Fred: pauses "Why are you asking me and not her?"

Ron: "Well she's shy, you know?"

Me: bangs fist against wall. Hard.

"Ron, I'm going with Katie Bell. She's my girlfriend. Hermione is a really nice girl and everything, but I've got a girlfriend."

"Did you ever tell Hermione you had a girlfriend?"

"No but-"

Ron: "So you just led her on like that?!" sounds angry

Fred: "Oh shut up Ron. I didn't know that Hermione fancied me but I only like her as a friend."

Me: blinks, then backs away from wall. I think I've heard enough.

I didn't really fancy Fred that much, but it still hurt a bit. I decided not to go back down to the common room for the rest of the night. I did my homework in bed, leaning against the wall. After I was done, I put away my books and fell asleep before Lavender or Parvati came upstairs.

The next morning I woke up early. I changed my robes and grabbed a cloak (It was a chilly November morning). We were going to Hogsmeade today. I went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Hardly anyone was down there. As I ate my toast and sipped my mug of hot chocolate, more students came downstairs. About an hour and a half later, when I was on my third mug of hot chocolate, I saw Harry and Ron making their way towards me. They sat down.

Ron: "Um, Hermione? I have to tell you something..."

-You've broken up with Lavender!!!- I thought

Ron: "Uh, Fred said he can't make it..."

Me: "I know he has a girlfriend Ron. Besides, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't fancy him anyways!"

Ron: "All right, all right... Well, I'm going to go over to Lavender now, she said she wants me to sit with her."

I frowned.

Harry: "Hermione? I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to Hogsmeade."

Me: "I thought I was..."

Harry: "I mean like a date. You know, so Ron can still have his double date."

He's blushing.

Me: "All right. As friends you mean?"

Harry: "Yes, of course."

Still blushing.

Me: "Okay."

I didn't really feel like seeing Ron with Lavender on a date. Would probably make me feel sick. After another hour we walked outside to the carriages. Harry and I got into a carriage with Ron and Lavender. The whole ride they were holding hands. I felt the urge to scream. When the carriage stopped, they all got out and began to head for the Three Broomsticks. Ron and Lavender sat at one table and me and Harry sat at the one next to them. We all ordered butterbeers, of course. I can't exactly remember all the events because I really didn't want to. One thing I do remember though is Harry "accidentally" putting his hand on mine:
Me: "Yeah, I suppose Snape does color his hair."

Harry, Ron, and Lavender: laughs

Harry: puts his hand on mine and pauses. Then takes it away "Oh sorry."

He was blushing again.

Me: "It's okay"

Harry: "Here, I'll pay for all of our butterbeer."

Rest of us: "Thanks."

Then Ron and Lavender went back out. Harry stood behind waiting for me. I was taking long on purpose. Why was he waiting!?

Harry: "Hermione, I want you to know something. I really like you. Not just as a friend."

Me: "That was really sweet Harry. I like you too."

I smiled. Harry was a really nice guy. Harry was the kind of guy girls would die for. ((Authors Note: Like Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp ;) ))

Harry: twidling thumbs "Well I was wondering if you'd want to be my girlfriend..."

He trailed off...

Me: "Okay"

I smiled and took his hand.

I still do love Ron though. It is wrong to have a boyfriend but be in love with someone else?
