Chapter 7: Surprises Can Be Hurtful

Dear Diary, October 20, 2004

It's been over a month since the last entry. I've been so busy with my homework and being head girl and all. I can't take it any more Lavender is getting on my nerves so much. She's like my older sister but even more annoying. I can't take it! She's pissing me off so much. I missed one day of school and there was an Arithmacy test and I asked Lavender what the test and homework was and she was like okay let's work on it together and then later when we got our all our stuff I asked about the test and she was like why should I help you if you never helped me on the tests and she got hella mad and took all her stuff and left. I didn't have my Arithmacy book so I couldn't even do the homework and I knew what the homework was. She pisses me off so much and she just now brought her Arithmacy book tot me telling me that she's done being mad at me. I don't care what she does but she just pisses me off so much and it's like we're sisters or something.

Remember that cute "muggle" friend? Well he isn't really a muggle, he's a wizard and it turns out that he's Drac- I mean Malfoy's cousin. No wonder he looked familiar to me. He reminded me of Malfoy. I just don't know what to do anymore. He isn't speaking to me anymore and, plus, Malfoy's being nice to me. I don't understand it. He even said sorry to me in the hall when he bumped into me.

You can say I'm getting darker and more depressed. I spend most of my time studying and barely eating. I've even visited the restricted section several times…okay maybe I've been taking Harry's invisibility cloak for the past month and a half. I've been learning more and more spells, charms, curses, and even potions and they're not the very peppy, happy kind either. Shit I hear Filch…

Always but not likely forever,

Hermione Granger
