Chapter Six: The Diary
Another beautiful Saturday at Hogwarts. I decided to spend it alone, with no Draco for once.
When I got out of the shower I put my diary, a pen, and my book into my bag, so I could take them down to the lake. I needed to put all the new stuff about Draco in my diary. I can't believe that one month ago I loathed him, and now I'm in love with him.
"Morning, Draco," I said coming out of my dorm. "I'm going down to the lake for a nice, quiet day to catch up on my reading." I tried to get that all out before he got a chance to ask if he could come along with me.
"All right," he said turning the page of the Daily Prophet.
"Bye, Draco." I left and I walked down to the lake. I saw Harry and Angela in the corridor. Harry was screamingat her.
"I can't believe you would actually put your lips on his mouth!" Harry yelled, his face red with anger.
"Harry, I'm sorry, I didn't want you to find out this way. I was going to tell you, sooner or later."
"Just go, Angela. I don't want to talk about this anymore. We're through." Harry began to walk to the doors when Angela tried to grab his arm. Harry jerked it away and kept walking.
"Harry!" I called out to him. I was around the corner so they couldn't see me while they were fighting but I heard the whole thing.
"Oh, hey, 'Mione."
"What was that all about?" I asked walking up next to him.
"I caught her kissing…Goyle," he said shuddering.
"What does she see in him?" What was she thinking? I mean Harry was slim and good looking, and Goyle is fat, stupid, and looks like a pig.
"I have no idea. I caught them in the library early today. Where are you going?"
"I was going down to the lake for a day by myself for once. I've been spending every day with Draco for the last week. Where are you going?" We were right in front of the doors and I stopped, I didn't know where Harry was going and I didn't want to take him all the way outside if he wasn't heading there.
"I don't know. I'll probably go talk to Ron in the common room and tell him about me and Angela.
"Hey, Harry, will you do my a favor?" I asked looking at my feet.
"Yeah, sure. What is it?"
"Will you talk to Ron for me too. About me and Draco. He won't listen to me but maybe he will to you."
"I'll do my best but he's pretty stubborn."
"Thanks, Harry. Well, I'd better go down there so I can have a couple hours before lunch. Bye, Harry," I said opening the door.
"Bye, 'Mione."
I walked outside and took a deep breath of the fresh air. I just love the smell of the lake and the forest. I sat down in front of a tree next to the lake and opened my bag. I went rummaging through it looking for my diary. It wasn't there. I turned it over and emptied it all out, still no diary. I must have dropped it on the way here! What if someone was reading it?
I got up and ran back inside. I retraced my steps all the way back to my common room. I threw open the door to find Draco, sitting on the couch, reading my diary.
