A/N—Sorry this took so long. If you haven't abandones my story, as most of you probably did, I am really very sorry. Just my life is busy and I barely have time to relax, let alone continue writing my story regularly. I'll try to post another chapter during winter break, I really wish I could post more often, but I cant, and I cant promise to be more frequent in the future. That aside, I wrote this late at night, its really preparing for next chapter that will be out who knowa when, but the next chapter will be amazing and describe all about the Eshandu festival in great detail!!!!!

Well, so today in class, he looked my way. Yes that's right, Harry James Potter looked at me in potions, he then quickly looked away, but I could have sworn he acknowledged me! I am so happy! Maybe my dream of becoming a known is not too far off. Espeacially since Ron and Hermione are increasingly working together, and Neville has exploded too many cauldrons, singeing Harry's perfect eyebrows.

No, I cannot think like that. I mean, he looked away immediately, plus, it wouldn't help if he even did see me. It wouldn't really change how he sees me as a person, and thus wouldn't change my status. I can't even believe that I'm thinking these things. Whatever happened to my old not caring self? Oh right, I guess that self was a lie, I always cared. Just I used to be hopeful, and I had decided that I would become 'known' almost magically. Well, that's okay, I'm over it now. Besides, I wasn't wearing anything nice, I should have been wearing my new robes that actually fit me, instead of the large ones that fit me so comfortably…

Okay, so well, now that I'm over that, let me tell you about some other things that are going on right now. I have recently gotten a note from my parents. The Eshandu festival is coming up!!! What's that, you don't know what the Eshandu festival is? Wow, I mean, how could you not know, its only the biggest holiday in the Wizarding world!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so biggest is an overstatement. It's one of the most important. There will be games, street vendors, fireworks, and food. It's the best time of year; plus, I get let out from school for a week. That's right, no school and great festivities. Oh, and a lot of singing and dancing too. In fact, I cant wait for it! The festival starts Monday, its Thursday today, so only a few days left…

I don't think you'd want to be in our dorm room. It's full of Rebecca's and Nicole's singing. It's not that they're bad; it's just annoying when they have been practicing the same songs for the past month! They have both been chosen to be in the choir. I am very happy indeed that I want chosen. I hate to sing in front of many other people, and besides, I'm a horrid singer.

Well, apart from the festival right now, nothings happening. Well, nothing's new except for the fact that I caught Ron and Hermione in a broom closet. I won't tell you what they were doing, but let's just say I have painful mental images and you can figure out the rest. But on good news, Harry and Ginny have broken up!!!! It was rather ugly, but Ginny has now moved on to another guy, and Harry seems through with her at last. I think the new guys name is Nick, he's a slytherin seventh year who might have the dark mark etched on his skin already. Maybe now Harry'll notice me, I mean, maybe he'll notice Stephanie.
