A/N: know-it-all: Only okay? You are not a know it all at all.
Elladora: It's not snozzled. It's sozzled!
I've been getting weird reviews lately. I really have. As for you persistent people who are rather annoying (joke!), be patient! There may not be Harry/Ginny romance till the END of the fic if you keep that up!! –horrified gasp-
A/N 2: Don't you hate it when you discover someone else has already written the fic you're planning in your head? I was planning another H/G, but now I don't think I'll write it! What do you guys think?
A/N 3 – VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ: Yes! The Author's Notes never end! I can't remember if Gin has had Quidditch tryouts, but I'm going to assume that 1) she has and 2) she is still the same position; Harry's detentionswith Umbridge are preventing him from playing. Ron is still keeper, etc. Only Harry's detentions won't scar him this time. Can't be bothered.
Wednesday Night, storming, my dormitory
It's all about the news. It's Wednesday News Day. It's Wednesday the Event Day. First item on the agenda:
Oh my god!!! Harry broke up with Cho! If you had eyes you'd see the mingled shock and glee on my face! Instead you'll just feel it radiating off me!!! Or perhaps you'll get the feeling from all the exclamation marks I'm using!!
It started today at lunch. Madison, Azriel, Sophia, Colin and I were sitting contemplating Harry and Cho's relationship. We were also joined by Susan Bones.
Last night while I was out discovering my brother snogging Hermione, Madison subtly reminded Colin of my love for a certain boy who lived.
He's cooled down pretty quickly and we reverted almost immediately to just friends. In fact, he's now going out with Susan Bones. An older woman, ooh la la!
"But then I remembered," Colin was telling us, "Sue told me last night how she used to have a crush on Cedric" (Susan blushed) "and then I thought, didn't Cho go out with Cedric?"
"Yeah it keeps slipping my mind." Azriel said in agreement.
"Well she can't possibly have liked Cedric to go out with Harry only a few days later." Pointed out Sophia.
"She should have mourned a little. And even if she didn't mourn, not go out with bloody Harry!!" Agreed Madison. Thankfully Harry was nowhere near the Great Hall to overhear this conversation.
"So she either didn't like Cedric," Colin began.
"It looked like she did, they were pretty serious from what I heard," Volunteered Sophia.
Susan shrugged. "Cho only went out with him because he was in the tournament."
We all stared at her.
"And now she goes out with Harry? Harry who is being attacked in the newspapers? Why would she want to go out with someone who everyone thinks is crazy?" Asked Sophia.
"Fame. She'll be notorious. It's very controversial you know, if she goes out with Harry." Explained Madison.
"She's using Harry?" I asked in disgust.
"It's highly possible." Colin admitted.
"That's not right! Someone should tell him." I said, outraged.
"Well we can't just sidle up to him and say 'Hey Harry, you know your girlfriend is only using you so she'll become the girl who sees through the media lies?'" Madison pointed out.
"Yeah." I said, disappointed. "I guess not."
It turned out though; Harry figured it out for himself. Or maybe it was Hermione; she never did approve of Cho.
Dinnertime was buzzing. The Hogwarts grapevine was threatening to fall over because the gossip is so damn ripe and juicy. That's how Sophia described. Strange girl she is.
"And each grape is just so succulent-"
"Ok Soph, time to stop." Madison cut her off.
"Oh right sorry."
"Well I'm thrilled." I said, smiling.
"Of course you're thrilled. It doesn't surprise me at all." Azriel remarked.
"Me neither."
"Or me."
"Hey," I said in my defence, "just because I can remain in love and properly in love by the way, for more then five minutes..."
"Ginny!!!" All three yelled.
Over at the Ravenclaw table Cho was fuming. Rumour has it that for the two hours she continuously owled Harry, begging him to take her back.
Now she's turned nasty. She's been bitching about Harry non stop. In a very loud voice that could be heard from Gryffindor table.
"You know, I'm glad I'm rid of Harry. He was so immature, I don't know what I was thinking dating a younger boy." Cho said loudly to her friend Marietta Edgecombe.
"Yeah?" Marietta asked. Marietta is an up talker. Everything she says sounds like a question.
"What do you think Marietta?"
"Well I think Harry wasn't right for you? He's way obsessed with the Weasley girl?" Marietta said confidently. Only it was a question instead of a statement. "And vice versa? They deserve each other? And you know what? I don't think you should be too quick to judge younger boys? I heard Michael Corner is after you?"
"I heard that too. What should I do?"
"Go out with him? He's perfect for you, I can just tell? That will be the last time you ever date outside of the house?" Marietta up talked.
"She sounds like a Slytherin." Sophia muttered.
"Who?"
"Both of them do." Sophia said shrugging.
"Well, you know what they say kids." Madison said cheerfully. "Ravenclaw is the neighbouring house of Slytherin."
"And uh, Hufflepuff to Gryffindor?" Colin asked hopefully.
Madison, Sophia, Arial and I exchanged glances.
"Uh, sure Colin. Whatever you say." Sophia said agreeably, shrugging.
Friday Night, pouring, Gryffindor tower
Completely misplaced my diary yesterday. I was super scared someone had stolen it (despite all my charms so that only I can open it, I still worry). I usually put my diary under my pillow at night and bring it everywhere in the day, but it fell under my bed on Wednesday night. I was having a bit of a violent dream. Giant snakes, brave boys with sword, that kind of stuff.
The Harry/Cho break up has blown over (they were apparently one of the most attractive couples in Hogwarts... Harry I believe, Cho... eh, whatever) and the Ron/Hermione thing has too. Well not blown over completely.
But to the point where people have stopped aw-ing whenever they see the two together. Believe me, if they'd seen what my poor scarred eyes had seen, they wouldn't aw the next time they can't Ron and Hermione together. Especially if they're in a closet. Particularly if they're in a closet.
Oh my eyes. My poor eyes.
Homework is killing me. Well, not really. I mean, if it were killing me, I'd be dead. Or dying. Or...
ANYWAY.
I am off. I have to finish:
Muggle Studies: borrow & read Muggle Music; Past & Present then write an essay on what I've learnt (copy off Madison)
Charms: Read Chapter 10 in the Standard Book of Spells, Grade 4 (Read!! HA! Okay yeah... I'll read it... but only because I have to...)
History of Magic: Essay on the centaur ministry thing (ask Hermione, she probably has TONS of notes. Or even Madison, she was telling us to pay attention, I bet she has something.)
Quidditch: (Can you believe it? Angelina is a slave driver) as much as Quidditch Through the Ages as possible.
Potions: Something. I wasn't paying attention.
What a hard life I lead.
Painstakingly yours,
Ginny
A/N AGAIN!!!: Sorry for the long break. I pwomise I'll be good mommmyyyy... just click the buttonnnnn and alll will be okayyyyy....
