If I don't update very often don't be mad at me, cos I am writing more. Love you all!

Thursday October 3rd

Quidditch Pitch

8:05 pm

Where on earth is Ron?? If he doesn't show, I will be incredibly stroppy with him. Well, more so than I already am.

8:10 pm

I think I see him – yes, there he is.

9:00 pm

Bed

I cannot believe this!! I am NEVER speaking to Ron – or Ginny – again!!

He walked over to me and said, "So what is it you needed to talk to me about?"

"I thought you wanted to talk to me!"

We both just looked at each other for a moment and then said together, "You wrote me a note…"

"Hang on, I never wrote you a note!" Ron yelled.

"And I never wrote you one!" I yelled back.

For a moment we sat there in confusion and then I realized who had written the notes. "Ginny." I said quietly.

Ron made a noise of disgust. "I don't need this." And he turned to leave.

"Wait – Ron!" he turned back around. "I really am sorry."

"Well that's too bad for you," he sneered, and left.

I ran back up to the castle and into my room, where Ginny was waiting for me, with a smug smirk on her face. Then she saw me. "Herm? Why are you crying?"

"Go to hell!" I snarled at her, then dove into my bed, pulled the hangings shut and here I am.

9:15 pm

Is this how Ron felt after the whole Hogsmeade incident?

Friday October 4th

7:50 am

Loo

My eyes are puffy from crying all night and my face looks all blotchy. I hope Ron is happy. He's made me look – and feel – like a complete loon. Ginny ambushed me and apologized for twenty minutes. I forgave her, only because I know she did it because she cares.

8:15 am

Breakfast

Ignored Ron completely. I wouldn't even look at him.

But how am I going to not look at him during Quidditch practices? Maybe I should just resign from the team. It's not like Ron wants me on it anyways.

Sigh…

12:35 pm

Lunch

Ginny was so sick of my long face that she put a Cheering Charm on me. I can't stop grinning or feeling content, no matter how I try.

1:20 pm

Herbology

Cheering Charm has started to wear off. Kept giving Ron sad looks when he was turned the other way. Harry got fed up with it and yelled, "For heaven's sake, Hermione, just go snog him already!", which caused everyone present (including Professor Sprout) to look at me oddly.

9:40 pm

Bed

God, I wish we could just make up already.

11:20 pm

Can't sleep. Going down to the common room to look at the fire for a while – it's always had a calming effect on me. Plus, Parvati is snoring like you wouldn't believe. She sounds like a squirrel revving a chainsaw while laughing hysterically.

11:25 pm

Was staring into the fire all moody-like, when I got the sudden urge to cry. Thank god I'm the only one in the common room.

11:40 pm

Had myself a good little crying fest. Was just finishing up when I heard a noise.

"Oh…sorry…I didn't think anyone was down here…"

I spun around.

"Ron?"

"Hermione?"

I burst into tears again. Ron slowly edged closer to me, looking nervous. "Ron, I'm really really sorry." I blubbed.

"Me too."

"I miss you."

"I miss you too." He sat down on the sofa with me, watching me intently. "Why did you freak out on me in Hogsmeade?" he asked softly.

"I…I got scared." I said after a moment. "Because, well, I thought I didn't like you…in that way. But once you were no longer a part of my life, I realized that I…do. Like you."

He moved even closer to me. His hand grazed mine, and I felt tingles run up my arm and down my spine. My heart thumped furiously in my chest.

"I like you too. But I guess that's kind of obvious." He joked. I laughed a little through my tears.

"Hermione?"

"Yes?"

"If I kiss you again, will you freak out?"

Instead of answering him, I leaned forward and kissed him squarely on the mouth.

Oh god, it felt soo good. So right. I think I'm in love.

12:15 am

Back in bed. Lalala. Life is wonderful. Fabbity fab fab.

Saturday October 6th

7:30 am

Dormitories

Bounced out of bed singing "I can see clearly now." Ginny thought I had gone mad.

"Are you okay, Herm?"

"I'm fab. Fabbity fab fab fabbity." I twirled around laughing.

"What's got you in such a fine mood?"

"Ron and I made up last night."

Ginny was all agog. "Did you -"

"Yep."

"So are you -"

"I think so."

Spent extra time doing my hair. I keep bursting into spontaneous bouts of giggling.

8:10 am

Breakfast

Where is Ron?? I haven't seen him all morning. Is he avoiding me? Am I a horrible snog and he just hasn't the heart to tell me? I think I may be on the verge of a REAL nervy b.

8:15 am

Asked Harry, full of casualosity, where Ron was.

"I thought you two weren't speaking?" He asked me one eyebrow-raisedly. He looked like a suspicious earwig.

"We've er, made up." I said haughtily, ignoring my mad bout of blushishness. Ginny had both of her fists stuffed in her mouth (v. weird, I don't know how she does it), trying not to giggle and failing miserably.

"Yeah?" Harry grinned. "He's still up in bed, muttered something about having a late night…anyways, he'll be down in a bit.

8:25 am

C'mon, Ron…where are you?

8:26 am

Bahaha, there he is.

8:30 am

Hmm. This is certainly awkward. All Ron said to me was "Hey, Herm." And then he proceeded to stuff his face.

8:35 am

Sitting here looking v. attractive (I hope) but Ron isn't noticing. I wish he would say something.

8:40 am

Okay, enough's enough. I'll say something to the idiot.

"Erm…Ron…"

"Yeah?"

"About last night…" I got all ready to spill out my "I-really-like-you-will-you-please-go-out-with-me" shpiel, but Ron cut me off.

"Don't worry about it. What's a little kiss between friends?"

I just stared at him for a minute, not fully realizing what he said. Then I got it, and (I know it's a cliché, but I swear, it's true) my heart dropped right into my feet.

"Oh….right, yes, of course."

"So are we good?"

"Yeah, we're…good." I resisted the urge to tack 'together' onto the end of that, but it was hard.

"Great!"

I bent low over my porridge so none of them would see my crying.

9:45 am

Common room

What's a little kiss between friends? What happened to, "I like you too, will you get mad if I kiss you?" that he came out with last night?? Did he just use me to get a snog??

9:50 am

I may kill myself if the quality of life around here does not drastically improve in the next fifteen or twenty minutes.

10:10 am

…

Life hasn't improved.

12:15 pm

Lunch

Conversed normally with Harry, Ron and Ginny, although it hurt like you wouldn't believe.

12:20 pm

WHY, God, WHY?!

3:30 pm

Common room

We've got Quidditch practice in half an hour. I really, really don't want to go, but I've sadly got a commitment to the team.

6:50 pm

Dinner

My arms hurt soo much. How could Katie fail to mention that being a Chaser means having broken arms half the time? That's what it feels like, anyways. God.

On the bright side, I made a particularly bril catch and Ron yelled, "Nice one, Hermione!" at me.

I grinned back and sped along the pitch, and accidentally ran into Ginny, which is part of the reason why I have no feeling in my arms.

7:00 pm

I must admit, it IS nice to be back on speaking terms with Ron, even if I am ridiculously miserable.

7:30 pm

Dormitories

Me, Ginny, Lavendar, Parvati and another fifth year, Melissa Broomfield, are playing Truth or Dare, as we're all bored and sugar high. I barely know Melissa but she seems nice. Actually, I think I've only spoken to her once or twice – which is weird, because she shares a dormitory with us four, and we've been here together for five years now. Ah, well.

7:35 pm

Lavendar fancies Ron!!! Parvati asked her if she fancied anyone, and Lavendar went all blushy and said, "Well, you know, sort of."

And I was like, "Sort of? How can you sort of fancy someone?"

"Well, I guess there is someone I fancy."

"You guess?"

"Yeah."

"Well, who is it?"

"Erm, well, you know…I guess…well, I fancy….Ron." and she blushed and looked like she might cry.

I barely restrained myself from leaping on her and ripping that silly grin from her stupid face.

8:03 pm

Melissa is such a laugh. I dared her to run downstairs and dance around in just her underwear, and…SHE DID!! And the common room was PACKED with people!! She would have gone on but Parvati grabbed her before she got molested to death by the dozens of ogling guys. I noticed that Ron wasn't there, thank god. I would have torn his eyes out if he was.

9:15 pm

Truth or Dare is over…for now. Ginny and I are lying on her bed reading some teen witch magazine. Ginny is reading about some "Magical Makeover" thing.

9:30 pm

Ginny grabbed me and pulled me into the loo.
"Let's give you a makeover, Hermione!!"

Oh no.

I feel a nervy spaz coming on.
