Changes?
Draco walked into his dorm from the common rooms. He opened his trunk to get his spare quills out, but his eyes fell upon a diary. Hermione's diary to be exact. He turned around to check that the room was empty, better to check than someone see him reading Granger's diary.
The room was empty and safe, for a certain boy who happened to be reading his arch nemesis's best friend's diary. He sat on his bed and opened the book to the next page.
Dear Diary,
Today was so tiresome. I had so much homework to do, and projects to finish. I knew that I shouldn't have waited until the last minute. I guess that's what's I get.
Harry and Ron are at practice and I'm…. well, I'm sitting here. Doing absolutely nothing when I should be working on my homework. But my minds all out of place. I can't seem to think properly. So, I'm writing here. Maybe this will help, maybe not. It's worth the try though.
We ran into Draco today. He was acting like an asshole as usual. Too bad he's such a jerk, if he wasn't than he would make for great boyfriend material. He's cute, he has decent grades, and seems to be able to handle himself, to a degree. What's not to love? I take that bad, his attitude is not to love. So is his smirk, and laugh. His laugh just annoys the hell out of me. There I go again, sounding like Ron. Oh well, he has rubbed off on me. I guess I'll have to deal with it. Anyways, what was I talking about. Oh yes, his laugh. It just makes me want to rip my hair out. Did I already say that it annoys the heel out of me? Ok, it's official. I've lost my mind.
We have a test/quiz in Potions tomorrow. I haven't studied at all this week, that is really not like me. Something must be wrong, I'm sick, or…. Ahhhhhhhhhh…. Ron really is rubbing off on me! The world is coming to an end! Ok, so maybe it's not, but still. I have told you before, the idea of bushy red hair scares me and I really don't want that horrible nightmare to come true. Now I'm not going to be able to go to sleep. I'll be too afraid that I'm going to wake up like that. Ok, this entry was short, but I really have to go study. So, good-bye for now.
Hermione
"She forgets to study for one bloody test and she things she's turning into the Weasel? This girl is out of her….." But before he could finish his sentence, he heard it. The sound of death surely coming his way. Footsteps. It had to be Crabbe and Goyle. He stood up and threw the book into the open trunk, then slammed it shut and locked it. The door opened and there stood, ELVIS! Ok, so it was Crabbe and Goyle, but no one said that I couldn't have any fun.
The rest of the night went normally, nothing to strange happened in the Slytherin common room. At about 11, everyone was in bed and Draco was left alone in the common room. He say it as the perfect opportunity to pull out Hermione's diary. So, he did.
Quietly, he walked into his room, opened his trunk and pulled out the diary. Then, he went back into the common room and began reading….
Dear Diary,
Today has been pretty boring. Nothing to do. Harry and Ron are at practice, everyone else is at hogsmead. And I'm here. By myself. With no one to talk to. And no books to read. Aren't Saturdays just lovely?
For some odd reason I've been a lot different lately. I don't like to read the same book twice, and I don't tell Ron off anymore. It's kind of scaring me. I have changed over the years. I mean, I'm much different now than I used to be, but I didn't change this drastically. Honestly, this is just crazy. How can I not enjoy telling off Ron? Everyone enjoys that. It makes us feel smarter by putting down the, not dumb but…. Unknowing, person. In a way, it's a good change. Maybe I'm not a snooty as I used to be. Too bad Draco hasn't changed for the better. He's just getting worse. Every time I pass him in the hall he says, 'Look there's Weasel , Potty, and the mudblood,' or, 'Watch out everyone. The mudblood is coming. She plans on infecting us all with her mudblood germs.' It used make me feel tainted or bad, but now it just makes me mad. I can't stand him sometimes, wait, I can't stand him at all. He is such an idiotic bully. I bet he doesn't even have brains. Yes, he keeps decent grades in his classes, but he is still so….. I don't know what word to use for him. So many come to mind, and none of them are good. He makes my blood boil. It's so hard to describe, because I don't hate him, but I defiantly don't like him. Oh well, lets just drop the topic of Draco Malfoy.
Time seems to be passing by really fast this year. Before you know it, we will be going home for the summer, and before we realize we're home, we'll all be right back here. 6th year has been so much different. Everyone changed over the summer. Now, it seems like we all had to get to know our friends al over again. In a way, we did have to get to know them all over again. Look at Seamus and Dean. The beginning of this year, they were fighting all the time because they had different opions on everything. Not like before, even if they had different opions, they didn't fight over it. They're back to normal now, not exactly like they used to be but, they don't fight as much and their personalities are still different but, it's not effecting them as much. Harry and Ron changed a lot too. They seemed to break away from each other for awhile. Ron hung out with Neville a lot and Harry hung out With Seamus and Dean, or one or the other. It depended on if they were in a fight or not. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just noticing a few little changes and making it a big deal. I doubt it. Actually, I know that isn't true. The changes have been too large. When have you seen Harry and Ron not talk to each other for 2 days when they are still friends. It's not even like they were in a fight. They were just, separated. Not everyone has changed, just a few people, maybe that is happening to me. Maybe I'm just going through some changes, drastic changes, very drastic changes., very very…. Well, you get the point.
Well, Harry and Ron just walked in from practice. They were out there for a long time weren't they? Well, I'll be sure to write again later. So until then, good bye.
Hermione
Draco picked his brain for memories of last year. 'Potty and Weasel had been apart from each other a lot. I remember that it made it harder for me to tease them when they weren't together. Granger changed a lot last year too. I noticed that. She seemed to be more….. Normal, than she was in 5th year. For some reason, the Seamus and Dean thing doesn't ring a bell. I don't remember them ever…. Wait! They had a huge fight at the beginning of the year over something. What was it over?'
His thoughts were interrupted by Pansy, who had just tiptoed into the common room. 'Shit!'
She continued tip toeing until she noticed Draco sitting on the couch. "Draco? What are you doing up so late?"
"I just woke up. I'm getting ready to go back to bed so….." He said as he stood up and walked twords his door.
"Well, I'm awake. I need someone to talk to so….."
"Not tonight Pansy. I actually want at least a couple hours worth of sleep." he said as he walked into his room and shut the door.
He sighed when he laid on his bed. Sleep seemed to take over immediately. He dreamt of what she had said. It seemed like her diary helped him remember what he had done to them. She noticed things he didn't, but why? Because she cared? Cared about who though? Everyone? Is that why she noticed all of those things, all of the changes?

Review Responses
Zippiygirl- Wow, thanx so much for the reviews. We greatly appreciated them. Finally! Someone who thought that something I said made sense, and it's nice to know that you read author notes. :)
TinkBelle- I know that it was short, and I apologize. I'm glad you think it is interesting. That makes me rally happy. :)
Elven at Heart- yes, it is going to romantic, but not quite yet. They haven't really gotten to the juicy stuff yet. I want to say that it will come up in about 6 or 7 chapters but, it could be before, or it could be after. I'm glad you liked the chapter.
XX-Dracos-Dark-Queen-XX- I'm glad you think that it's funny. You are the first person to notice the slightly funny aspect of it.
A Gothic Romance- What you said wasn't rude at all. I'm glad that you informed us on what we need to work on. Thank you. I'm sorry that you didn't like the story though. I give you props for your story though. I think that Draco is kind of complicated to write because no one really knows enough to know what he is like personality wise. He could just be putting up a shield so that no one knows what he is really like for all we know. Thanks for informing us on what we need to work on. We will defiantly work on that.
Pixie- I agree. They were extremely short and like I said, I'm rally sorry about that. I have had a bunch of stuff going on with school and I have been rushing. Is this length better? My other stories all have chapters that are about 4 to 5 pages long and I have people e-mailing me telling me that they are too long. L So, is this length good? Oh, and if you would like, you can e-mail me your e-mail address and I'll e-mail you whenever I update or whenever tea-and-cake updates. My e-mail is WynterMajik at yahoo dot com.Or you can leave your e-mail in your review if you want, but be sure to leave spaces. Like how I just wrote my e-mail.
Darknesshatesme- Glad you like it. I hope this was soon enough. :)
