Dear Diary, 10/19/01

I definitely like Harry now...well I know its only been one day but I cant keep my eyes off of him during class and he is really modest. Well anyways....today during potions Professor Snape asked questions that I could answer because I knew the answer to them but he kept calling on Harry and it made me mad because Harry didn't know anything about it....and Snape kept on being mean to Harry I wanted to hit him upside his head.

Harry remembered that day like it was yesterday. He hated Snape and there was no denying that but Snape had a reason to hate Harry. So Harry just left it at that....they hated each other....and that was good enough for Harry. Harry skipped a few pages through the diary he wanted to read some of Hermione's most recent entries.

Hello again. Today Harry Ron and I watched as the people went down to kill Buckbeak. We heard the axe come slashing down as it pierced the air and Buckbeak's neck. Hagrid was all teary-eyed and we knew we would have to go down there later to comfort him. But then we went to Dumbledore's office and he gave me a time-turner...so Harry and I went back in time to save Buckbeak and Sirius....if possible....We saved Buckbeak...and then it was time to save Sirius. We went to the Shrieking Shack and found Lupin and Sirius...the person who escaped from Askaban. Come to find out he is Harry's god-father! Harry now has relative... I'm so happy for him....well anyways Lupin is a werewolf and he tried to attack us...Harry guarded him from me and Snape got in between us and the werewolf too....It was ABSOLUTELY amazing that Snape had tried to protect us....Harry fought off the dementors....today was a very exciting day.....

Harry had almost forgotten about that night. When he read Sirius' name he choked and was fighting back tears, but he kept reading as he skipped a few more pages. He was finally on a week from today.

Hello today is the first day of our sixth year, and I still haven't told Harry that I like him. I don't know if I should tell him or not. At dinner we talked about the summer's events and I asked Harry how the Dursley's were and he said as awful as they had been before. I smiled at him and continued to eat. Ron was a pig. He acted like he hadn't ate in YEARS...he was stuff his mouth to its capacity and then would chew a few times and then swallow...I wanted gag....but I didn't...

Hey! Today I talked to Ginny and she said that Ron had a little crush on me and I told her never in a million years would anyone catch me with him...she laughed and turned to walk back down the corridor.

Dear Diary, 10/21/04

Today Harry and Ron were wanting my diary! I could never let them have it...if Harry found out I liked him I would be humiliated...and Ron would tell the whole world...at breakfast Ginny saw me write on the next page and gave me a look. She knows that I like Harry! I hope she doesn't tell anyone! She told me to use the direct approach but I just cant.

Harry turned to the next page and read the initials printed on it. HG-n-HP. Harry was shocked by what he read. Why didn't Hermione tell him how she felt, because Harry felt the same way? He closed the diary and put it on the mantle of the fireplace. He slowly walked up the stairs and thought about what he had read as he sat under his covers. Hermione had liked him since the first year. She had kept this a secret for six years. Well actually she is still keeping it Harry just found out. He was not going to tell Ron until he needed to know because Hermione was right, he would tell.

Harry thought about what he must do. He decided that he would tell Hermione that he had read the diary and that he felt the same way about her as she did him. He wasn't sure how she would take the diary part but had had to tell her.

The next day Harry pretended to find the diary the next morning.

"Hermione! HERMIONE!" he yelled up the girl dormitory stairs.

Hermione came out of the door looking groggy as if she hadn't got enough sleep. She looked Harry over and saw the diary in his hand, "Harry you found it!"

"Not really," he said, "Sit down." He gestured to a chair by the fire and Hermione walked down the stairs looking confused.

When she sat down Harry handed her the diary, "Hermione, we need to talk about what that diary contains."

Hermione looked at Harry, she looked hurt, "D-did you read it?" she asked fearing for what the answer may be.

"Well...yeah," he said.

Hermione jumped up from her seat and started yelling at Harry, "HOW COULD YOU!" She ran from the chair and Harry towards the stairs. Harry jumped up and grabbed her arm before she even got to the first stair.

"LET GO OF ME HARRY!" she screamed.

"NO! We need to talk! Now I don't regret reading it. I'm glad I did. I would have never figured out that you liked me. And I would have never gotten up enough courage to tell you...that..." he stopped. Hermione was looking into his eyes. Tears were forming in her eyes. "Hermione don't cry."

"What was it that you wanted to tell me?" she whispered looking away from him.

"That-that I uh...I um...like you too." Harry blushed and looked at Hermione as she slowly turned to look at him. He could tell what she was thinking. She couldn't believe what he had said, "I'm not kidding either, Hermione. You'd just have to believe me."

Hermione pulled away from Harry and looked into his eyes, "I believe you, its just I'm so happy and confused that I can't think of anything to say."

Harry blushed again, and took her hand in his and kissed her on the forehead.
