Sunday October 6th

7:15 am

Dormitories

Phwoar. I look…different. In a good way, I think. My hair is straight. And black. Black as a freaking CROW.

And…get this…I LOOK AMAZING!! Every time I catch a glimpse of this straight, shiny black hair swinging round I have to find a mirror. I don't even look like myself. I look ten million times better.

I wonder what Harry and Ron will say?

8:10 am

Breakfast

All along the table, everyone stopped to look at me. I feel incredibly sexy. Ron gaped at me like a fish. Harry just shook his head at me. I feel a bit like a female Harry, only without the glasses, green eyes and scar.

8:20 am

Oh my god…Ginny's just told me we have a Quidditch game on Saturday!! Remind me to PANIC!!!

I'm not ready for this! We've only had like, three practices!! How can Harry, Ron and Ginny be so calm??

Monday October 7th

DADA

9:35 am

Had a "pop quiz", as Stupid M. put it, on vampires. And guess what the very first question was? "What is the most noticeable difference between the Mongolian and Norweigan vampires?"

Ha.

I bet I'm the only one in the class who got that one right.

1:05 pm

Transfiguration

Malfoy shouted to me as we passed in the hall, "Hey Granger, what's with the drowned rat on your head?"

Shouted back, "Hey Malfoy, what's with that ugly boil on your neck?" He slapped his hand to his neck feeling for it, and then I delivered the zinger: "Oh, nevermind, it's just your head."

Everyone in the hallway laughed for AGES.

Hermione: One, Malfoy: Zero.

Hah.

Thursday October 10th

Potions

10:10 am

Guess what we've started making!! Polyjuice Potion!!

Considered asking Snape if I could be excused as I made it illegally in second year, but decided against it as you can get expelled for that sort of thing.

If all goes well, they should be done right before Christmas.

Hopefully this time I don't accidentally become a cat. Coughing up hairballs for three week is NOT my idea of fun.

12:05 pm

Lunch

Yawwwn. I am sooo tired. I've had perhaps three minutes of sleep in the past week.

12:15 pm

Lavendar is SUCH a tart. She flopped down beside Ron and twirled her stupid hair around her fingers and made a giggle that sounded like: "Haw-hee HICCUP!" It was positively sickening.

"Whatcha doin, Ron?"

"Er, eating."

"Oh. Right." Lavendar blushed like a loon. God, she is sooo tarty and stupid and annoying. "So, whatcha doin' Saturday?"

"Quidditch game."

"Oh."
"Yeah. You coming?"

"'Course, I LOVE Quidditch!"

Then they started blabbering on about Quidditch. Turns out Lavendar's fanatical about the Chudley Cannons, too.

If they start going out, I'm going to kill something. Most likely Lavendar.

Friday October 11th

4:15 pm

Quidditch Pitch

Practice is postponed, because Ron tripped over the case holding the bludgers, and one flew out and hit Ginny square in the face and broke her nose. I'm to take her up to the hospital wing.

Gross, it's bleeding everywhere.

4:20 pm

Hospital Wing

Madam Pomfrey mended Ginny's nose in about a second. Ginny lied about the original shape of it (much like I lied about my teeth in fourth year) and therefore she now has a perfectly straight beautiful nose.

8:50 pm

Common Room

Practice ran on until 8:30 instead of 6:00 because we have a game against Ravenclaw tomorrow, and Katie's really uptight about it.

9:10 pm

I'm sooo nervous.

9:55 pm

I can't sleep!! I am way too nervous. But I'm NOT going down to the fire – last time I did that, look what happened.

Saturday October 12th

6:30 am

Bed

Woke early. Can't sleep. I may need a calming draught.

10:30 am

Dressing Rooms

The game starts in half an hour. Katie, Ginny and I are sitting her all quiet. Katie looks like she might be sleeping! Ginny looks well, normal, and I look like a ghost, last time I looked in the mirror.

Do you think maybe the black hair is making me look paler than I really am? I need a tan. God, I'm so nervous.

10:55 am

Well…the game is on.

5:00 pm

Change Rooms

Brilliant!! We won!! 220 to 50!

The game was sooo brilliant. Five minutes into the game I scored and five minutes after that Ginny scored. Ron did really good, not at all like last year when he was rubbish.

Anyways, so Katie, Ginny and I scored three times in the first hour, then the Ravenclaws got two goals, and as the game went on we had scored a total of seven times and they had scored five times. And then finally – FINALLY – Harry caught the Snitch, 'round 4:30.

5:25 pm

There's going to be a wicked party in the Gryffindor common tonight. Harry, Ginny and I are waiting for Ron to get out of the showers.

5:40 pm

I hate Ron!! I hate him! The only person I hate more is Lavendar, that stupid common TART!!

So there we were, waiting for Ron, right, and suddenly Ginny gets this look on her face like, "Oh, crap!" and she grabs me and says, "C'mon over here, Hermione, I have to tell you something in private."

God, how dumb does she think I am? I knew something was up, so I twisted around.

And saw Ron walking up to the castle, with Lavendar. His arm was around her waist.

What is the point?

8:30 pm

Bed

Everyone else is down in the common room, partying their hearts out. Ginny is begging me to come down.

8:35 pm

Common Room

Ginny talked me into coming downstairs. I have decided that I am going to be an optimist, and only look on the bright side, and whatnot. Still, I refuse to look at Ron and Lavendar – it hurts WAY too much.

8:40 pm

My heart is broken. How can anyone not notice my pain?!

On the bright side, I should get some EXCELLENT poetry out of my misery.

See, being an optimist really does work.

9:00 pm

Noticed a groovy-looking seventh-year looking at me from over by the fire.

He has darkish brown hair and really, really dark blue eyes. Ginny says his name is Matthew Becker. She's all giggly.

"I used to fancy him, before Harry and I started going out. Now we're just friends." She snuck a glance at him. "I think he likes you, Herm." She teased.

I ignored my blush. "No, he doesn't."

"Yes he does."

"No, he doesn't."

"Yes!!"

"Yes what?" asked Ron, coming over with Lavendar.

"Matt Becker – he fancies Hermione."

"Ginny!!" I cried.

"Really?" Ron grinned. My heart shattered. Dear God, I love that smile. "Nice one, Herm."

"Ooh, he's really groovy." Lavendar giggled like the tart she is.

"Excuse me?" Ron acted hurt.

"But not as groovy as you," she dithered, and they traipsed off.

Ooh, I hate them, I hate them.

But on the bright side, a rather good-looking boy appears to fancy me.

9:30 pm

That Matthew guy wandered over to chat with Ginny about Herbology. He keeps looking at me and grinning.

9:35 pm

Bed

I need a break from being an optimist for a minute.

POO!!!!! LIFE IS CRAP!!!!! I WANT TO DIE!!! Please, God, kill me now!!!

12:15 am

…

Haven't died.

Damn.

Monday October 14th

9:15 am

DADA

Haha. Ten out of ten on the quiz we had last Monday.

Honestly, how long does it take that wretch to mark that stuff? It's absolutely ridiculous. I may complain to Dumbledore about what an absolutely crap DADA teacher we have. Not naming any names, of course.

9:16 am

CoughStupidMcough.

10:20 am

Herbology

Harry and Ron have made up this ridiculous chant about badgers. It goes like this: Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom!

Then it begins all over again. It's really, REALLY annoying. And yet oddly catchy. When I asked them about it, they claimed it was to help them study for Potions – the eleven ways badger bits can be used in potions, and the two ways they react with mushrooms.

How that helps, I have no idea, but whatever floats their boat, I suppose.

12:05 pm

Lunch

Now Harry, Ron, Ginny, Lavendar, Parvati, Neville and Professor Dumbledore have started singing the badger song. Good heavens! Next thing you know it'll be the new school anthem.

12:10 pm

That Matthew guy has just sat down next to me.

"You're Hermione, right?"

"No, I'm Vlad the Impaler." I said sarcastically. (who in the name of Stupid M.'s polka-dotted knickers is Vlad the Impaler?)

He just laughed. "I'm Matt."

"Umhmm.."

He doesn't seem to get that I'm not interested. Must change the subject.

"You have beautiful eyes."

"Er…uh…well….d'you like badgers?"

God, what is WRONG with me?!

8:30 pm

Common Room

Doing DADA homework. I am so bored. And sore – Quidditch practice HURTS.

8:32 pm

Badger badger badger badger…SHUT UP, BRAIN!

8:35 pm

Damn Harry and Ron, with all their stupid talk of badgers and mushrooms. I can barely concentrate on my DADA essay…all I can think about is badgers dancing around with mushrooms.

8:40 pm

I am sooo sick of being boyfriendless. Perhaps I should give Matt a chance? The worst that could happen is he could realize what a loser I am and dump me, which would do me no hardship, as I'm not attracted to him in the slightest.

8:42 pm

Okay, so I'm a little bit attracted to him.

8:44 pm

OKAY, so he's freaking gorgeous. But looks aren't everything, right?

A/N: Hey everyone.....if you're wondering about the badgers (I'm sure some of you have seen that crap badger cartoon, and if you haven't, go check it out www . badgerbadgerbadger . com...just without the spaces hehe ) I saw it the other day and just about died laughing, so I thought I'd put it in here....hehehe!!
