8 a.m.

Dear diary,

I have a terrible headache and it's entirely my own fault, I am afraid. After re-reading my last diary notation, I feel utterly ashamed and my only comment is: I really was drunk. The rubbish I have written this night in really unbelievable.

Rolanda's still a moron, though.

I just had breakfast- but after Rolanda Hooch's one-hundred-and-fortieth reference to her wonderful strawberry punch. I didn't think my arm could have taken another nudge. I almost ran away, leaving a giggling Rolanda and a surprised Albus behind.

His eyes twinkled again.

I don't think I can take this anymore.

My comment of last night was right about something.

I love Albus Dumbledore. I have loved him since I was fifteen years old. That's more than twenty years ago now.

I am a moron as well.

Dear diary, what a shame, I, Minerva McGonagall, have just found out that I am a moron.

I really have to forget about Albus.

Maybe I should give myself detention? Oh, Minerva, stop it, you are behaving like a fifteen-year old schoolgirl who's is love with her teacher.

But I am one, aren't I?

No, I am not.

I am speaking to myself.

I am pathetic.

This was it, dear diary, another part of my utterly interesting and happy life has been revealed to you. I am going to prepare now for my first class of today.

The 6th year Gryffindors.

Goodbye.
