Second chapter in a day darlings. Review if ya like!
Dear Diary,
1:00 am
Oh dear god. Help me.
I should REALLY of listened to Jassi when she told me to do that essay yesterday, and yeah, I had made a pretty good start on it, (well, I had got out my ink and parchment) when WHO should walk in through the library door? WHO?
It was Harry who declared his undying affection for me, then proposed and now we're married with lots of children.
Ok, I WISH.
Who it really was was Hermione, which didn't exactly surprise me as she practically lives here, and I wasn't too surprised when she came over either. Her and Jassi are pretty good mates, must be all that time spent pouring over the books I guess. What I DIDN'T expect was for her to say, "Hi Jassi. Hi Ginny. What you doing?" then without waiting for an answer, "Ginny, can I talk to you outside please?"
Jassi looked up at that. She kind of resembles a bird at the best of times, but she really looked like a jolly robin now, with her new red scarf and her head tilted curiously to one side. She was shooting me a look with her beautiful blue eyes. I recognised that look. It meant, 'Go find out what she wants then get rid of her!'
You know I said Jass and Hermione were good mates? Well the truth is Hermione kind of really annoys Jassi. Dunno why. I guess they're just too much alike, but anyhoo I just literally leapt at the chance to escape my essay (nearly fell off my chair in the process) and followed her outside.
She just walked briskly until we were in the lobby bit outside the library, then turned round to face me. I just limply stood there, feeling kind of foolish as she just stood there staring at me with calculating eyes. Ok girl, I thought snappily, who taught you occlumency? I swear she was probing my thoughts... having a good nosy at my secret daydreams of Harry...
"Ginny I know you like Harry."
WHAAAAAT?
I guess I must've looked like a fish at that moment, cos my mouth dropped open and my cheeks (hey presto!) flared up instantly. Dear god if I look like a fish can't I at least look like a fish and NOT blush for once? Have you ever seen a blushing fish? But noooo, this is a Ginny fish, who will blush at seaweed if giggles at her. Ok getting off topic.
I just kind of spluttered, squeaked, made squelching noises with my tongue (hey that's a new one for Harry!) then gave up trying to speak. Ok, so it was pretty obvious she KNEW, but she didn't have to RUB IT IN MY FACE.
"Yes you do," said Hermione briskly, as though I had made a massive denial (me? Love HARRY? Never! )"I know you do. And he knows too."
Jassi's right. She IS pretty damn annoying.
Wait a second. HARRY KNOWS?!?!
I swear, my eyes were so wide they practically were popping out their sockets. All at once a million cazillion things were flashing through my mind, Harry knows! Harry knows! He knows! He knows! OMG he knows! Ok so that was practically the same thing just multiplied but it felt like a lot. How the hell did he find out! I had been careful! (Um, apart from the odd blush every now and again) I had avoided him! (Well, there was that time I stalked him round Hogsmeade... twice) I NEVER said anything remotely kinky to him! (True, the kinkiest thing I ever said to him was "Can you pass the salt?" Which is pretty damn unkinky.)
I mean, Hermione just makes it her business to know everything. She of course WOULD know. But Harry? Harry?
HARRY?
Hermione was talking again, very fast and I had to pull myself back to reality very hard to actually hear what she was saying.
"...and now we might be getting together I thought you should know, so..."
"Whoa!" I held up my hand, surprising even myself with my regain of fluent English, "What did you say?"
Hermione blinked at me, caught short in her gabble of words. "I said," she repeated, all calmly, "That me and Harry might be getting together. Maybe. So I thought you should know first because I know you like him and I don't want anything to come between our friendship."
Well.
How about that.
Devastation causing my entire world to corrupt in les than 10 words. Well Done Hermione. The destroyer of my world. I couldn't accept it. I COULD NOT ACCEPT THAT!
So I did the only thing I could think of.
I ran.
My books were still with Jassi, and that was who I ran to. She had her head bent over her work still but she looked up at my footsteps. She took one look at my shell shocked/ fish face and said, "Oh Merlin, what's happened?"
I threw myself at my seat, banging my leg on the edge of the table. It didn't even hurt so bad but I found there were tears running down my face, eyes scrunched up like a right baby. But I was angry as well. I mean HARRY AND HERMIONE? They do NOT go together! No! And it wasn't just my heart she was breaking. Hermione thought she knew everything but she couldn't see what was under her own nose. I knew Ron was besotted with her right from my first year here. Hell with it, EVERYONE KNOWS!
Only next thing I knew I had Jassi's arms wrapped round me and she was whispering to me, "Shh. Its ok now. Tell me what happened." And I leant against her like the dufas I was and bit back sobs. All I had to do was choke out two words. "Harry and Hermione."
She just went, "Oh, God."
Then she just sort of pulled me out my seat, and started packing all our stuff away, paper and everything then hung my bag on my shoulder and linked arms with me, supporting me all the way back to the Gryffindor tower.
You know what? I don't care how much of a nerd Jassi can be. She's the best mate in the world. She was especially great then, making everyone get out our dorm then putting up with me while I sobbed out stupid stuff about Hermione being a bitch and hating Harry. She even summoned two boxes of man sized tissues. Cool.
So here I am now, attempting to write out the entire length of this dratted essay, and my eyes are burning even though I stopped crying hours ago, and I hate my life. Indeed
I do. Oh sod this flipping essay. I'm going to bed.
The next day, 1:00
Dear Diary,
I am not a happy bunny no I am not.
Well I managed to get my essay done, though it meant I had to get up two hours earlier than I would normally and sacrificed all my break in the library. Jassi had to help me out like, a thousand times by poking me cos I kept staring off into the distance and losing track of everything. And even after all that effort I knew my essay was crap anyway because Jassi was reading over my shoulder with this little frown on her face, though she didn't say anything. Suppose she was trying to cheer me up. That was nice of her, as she usually rips up the entire thing and makes me re write it all. Well not exactly but what the hey, I'm in the mood for exaggerating.
At the moment I'm in my History Of Magic class next to Jassi who keeps giving me approving looks cos she thinks I'm actually taking notes for once. Well hahahaha too bad. This is much important than whatever Uric the Oddball did to his phoenix in the long gone past. I AM IN DEEP DEPRESSION. Saw Hermione again at breakfast. She kept trying to mouth stuff at me, which was completely wasted as I suddenly gained an enormous amount of interest in my bacon, (I wonder if it was fried or grilled?) and eggs, (Ooo, that one has a pinky yolk!) Harry looked over a few times as well. I wonder if it was Hermione who told him about my... obsession with him. Traitor.
McGonagall put us all in pairs for Transfiguration today. I had to go with this dumpy girl with pigtails who told me in a shy, timid sort of way that her name was Amelia. She was in Ravenclaw and was very sweet but surprisingly very dim. Aren't all Ravenclaws meant to be clever? Anyway she could NOT transfigure her toad, and I wasn't much better cos my heart just wasn't in it. I got so frustrated I hit the thing with my wand (the toad that is, not Amelia) and it gave a surprised croak and vanished. Well at least that got rid of it. I hate toads.
Bored. I wonder what Harry's doing?
Probably in a corner snogging Hermione.
Yeaugh! No! That's a horrible thought! Anyway they wouldn't do it in front of Ron.
But what if they're not in front of Ron? What if they slipped off to a nice, empty closet somewhere..?
O Merlin no. Bad thoughts. Veeerrrry baaaaad thoooouughts.
I hate my life. It sucks.
1:30pm
Am now in dining hall with Jassi for once, who said she was prepared to skip studying to give me moral support. Aw, aint she sweet? Almost as sweet as Harry. BLAGH! Why did I think that? No one is as sweet as Harry. No-one. You remember that.
I can see them right now even though I've been trying very hard not to look. Jassi says just look at something else, but I can't, its like my eyes are magnetically attracted to them. Its like, wow, just look at that fascinating goblet. Hermione and Harry are sitting rather close. NO! The goblet! Look at the goblet. I wonder who last drank out of it. Harrys brushing something off Hermione's back! And she's LAUGHING! Stop it! Back to the Goblet. I wonder if I could throw it at Hermione's head?
Hey, Jassi just blocked my vision of Harrys face! Get outa the way!
She's just told me very severely that staring at Harry and Hermione will do nothing for my health, and as it seems I can't stop myself she will remain in that position. Bah.
2:00pm
It seems Ron is oblivious of Harry and Hermione's blossoming 'relationship.' He just gave Hermione his last meatball, and he loves meatballs. Grrr! Take it back Ron! She does not deserve your meatball! Take it ba- oh too late she's eaten it. Why are you looking so happy Ron? She eats like a pig!
A very posh pig but still.
9:00pm
Going to try for an early night. I hope to have dreams of Hermione being eaten by giant meatballs. And I will be watching safe on the sidelines with Harry. Hahaha. That will show her. Stick that in your library book and read it.
