The Hearing
Harry's trial thing is tomorrow. I don't think I've written about it yet. I've been putting it off. Hermione insists that Harry could not possibly be found guilty, and Hermione isn't wrong often, so Harry's safe, I think.
Come to think of it, I don't think Hermione's ever been wrong. Except about SPEW.
Oh, that sets me off laughing just thinking about SPEW. There's this hilarious thing Hermione's doing.She's trying to learn how to magically knit so she can-
Oh…bloody hell. I started off laughing and couldn't finish that last sentence. It's just that absurd. Anyway. She's learning to knit in order to…to…liberate house-elves! She's trying to free them by giving them knitted clothes. She's already tried a sock, but all she ends up with is a big colorfulknot, so the only thing she can do right nowis a scarf because it's just one long knit thing.
I tried to explain to her that only the house-elf's master can free them with clothes, but she didn't even hear me. She was busy talking to Harry about the hearing while trying to knit.
Anyway, I went way off subject. Harry's really nervous about the trial. I mean, he doesn't show it really, but every time someone mentions anything to do with the legal system, he sort of freezes up and gets thisdazed, worried look on his face. Hermione's noticed it, and now and then warns me not to mention anything, because it's obvious Harry doesn't want anything to be mentioned. He's keeping quiet about it, and so, she says, should we. She usually whispers it, and once or twice Harry saw us glancing at him. He's probably still angry with us, and we're not doing anything to stop it.
His trial is tomorrow, so we've all been on edge around him. I have such a bad feeling about this.

It's late now, Harry might already be asleep.
At dinner todaywe found out that Dumbledore came yesterday night while we were sleeping. He didn't even bother to talk to Harry. I'm starting to really not like him. He's going to get Angry Harry set on him like he was on us.
Thinking back, I've never seen Harry that angry, or yell that loud. Not even at Malfoy. Dumbledore isn't helping any of us by ignoring Harry.
Anyway, Harry's going to the Ministry with Dad tomorrow, to get to the hearing. So before the bit of the day when he could possibly be expelled from Hogwarts and have his wand snapped in half, he gets to sit in that overgrown broom cupboard Dad calls an office. So boring and dull will be topped by miserable for Harry tomorrow.
There's nothing for it. I better just get some sleep.

A/N: I tried to make this chapter as long as I could, but I just can't do it. When some interesting things start happening, the chapter will be longer, I promise. And in a couple days my school will be out and I will have plenty of time to type all I want.
I lost all the reviews you guys sent to the last chapter, so I shall only have one big mass reply:
THANK YOU!
