I'm sorry it took me so long to update. I've been 'busy'. Planning a gigantic movie and having an awful headache in one day are enough to make me want to smash the computer. Actually, the beginning of this has been written for a while, and I finally got around to add onto it.

Dear Diary, I paused, half-waiting for the ink to sink into the page, but when it started to look like it wasn't going anywhere I continued. My name is Ginny Weasley, I'm twelve, and I'm in my second year at Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This diary was given to me by Harry Potter, the one who defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named when he was a baby. I have had a crush on Harry for two and a half years, but my affection has never been returned. He is a year older than me, and best friends with Ron, one of my older brothers. I have six older brothers, and no sisters. Charlie, the oldest works with dragons in Romania; Bill was Head Boy at Hogwarts, but now works as a curse-breaker at Gringotts in Egypt. Then we have Percy, who is Head Boy at Hogwarts now, and wants to work at the Ministry of Magic. Fred and George, the twins in their fifth year at Hogwarts, only want to open a joke shop when the graduate. They know the castle from top to bottom and play hilarious jokes on all the students. Ron is in his third year, and only a year older than me; he is best friends with Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. He also has a crush on Hermione. Then you have me, Ginny, the youngest, and only girl. There isn't anything special about me. We all have flaming red hair and freckles; that and we're all in Gryffindor, even Mum and Dad. Dad works at the Ministry of Magic and isn't paid very well. That's why we all have second-hand robes and tattered books. I stopped and looked down at my socks. Ron's socks. I got hand-me-downs from my brothers.

"Ginny!" Mum called up the stairs. "We have to leave for Kings Cross in five minutes! Bring your trunk down!"
"Coming!" I shouted. I finished my entry. We always make it through somehow. Mum has her ways. –Ginny
I put the diary under my robes in my trunk and shut it. I looked around to see if I had everything I needed safely stashed in my trunk. I did. The stairs creaked as I dragged my trunk down them. I couldn't wait to get back to Hogwarts and my friends, even homework.

"Bye, Ginny, dear!" called Mum waving frantically. I waved back, then closed the window and sat down next to Mia. Aida and Alex faced us

"Thanks you guys for your awesome presents!" I said, leaning back against the seat.

"You're welcome," Mia and Alex said at the same time. Aida just grinned.

"Exploding Snap anyone?" a voice said from the doorway. It was Colin, standing there grinning.

"Sure," Aida said, sliding down in her seat, so Colin and his friend Erick could fit in. They stepped in and closed the door behind them.

Erick sat down next to Aida, and Colin took a seat next to me. I slid over so he wasn't so close to me. We were friends, but I also knew he had a crush on me, and I didn't want him to get the idea that I liked him.

Seamus poked his head in and announced, "We'll be at Hogwarts in ten minutes."

"Ok," Alex answered picking up the pieces to the game and handing it back to Colin.

"'C'mon Erick," Colin said, sliding the door open. "We still need to get changed into our robes, and they do to."

The door slid shut silently, and we quickly changed into our school robes. By the time we had finished buttoning every button, and adjusting ties the train had come to a halt.

We got off the train and went back up to the castle. I climbed through the portrait hole and saw the welcoming fire and worn red chairs. It was awesome to be back at school.

"Ginny!" called someone from across the room.

"Caitlin!" I cried, running over. "I missed you!"

"Me too!" she said hugging me. Then pulling away she said in a hushed voice. "You'll never believe what happened!"

"What?" I said, interested.

Her face grew serious. "I overheard them talking about it over Christmas break when I was doing homework for Professor Snape."

"Them? What?"

"Harry and Ron! duh!"

"Oh, but about what?" I was annoyed at her leaving me hanging.

"Well," she said, leading me over to a chair. We sat down and she lowered her voice. "Harry, got a Firebolt!"

"Whoa!" I said, my eyes widening.

"But thats not all! Hermione told Professor McGonagall that Harry got the firebolt but it was sent anonymously. And Mcgonagall took the broom away to strip it down!"

"What for? That beautiful broom! She's going to strip it down?!"

"Ginny, they both think it was sent to Harry by Sirius Black!"
