Hey guys! I hope you haven't all abandoned me. I'm so sorry that it took me so long to update. As I've already told you I'm currently in my harder semester at highschool so I'm not finding as much time to write. And I've also had a few problems trying to figure out what to write next for this story. Well I've finally finished March so here is my next post. I hope it was worth waiting for! Don't forget to Review!
March 1st
Wow, March already. I don't get why everyone says that your N.E.W.T. days always feel longer, these past few months have just flown by. To think, today's Ron's 18th birthday. I have half a mind to send him a card. It's not like I'd expect a reply. Just so he knows that even when he's out there with Hermione and… company, I'm still thinking of him and I still love him. Would one card really hurt?
March 2nd
Annick tells me that she doesn't think I should send Ron a card. But this is of course coming from a girl who thinks of my brother Fred in a romantic way. Can one really trust her judgment? But I guess if I do want to follow Resolution #11, I have to refrain from contacting them. Why did I have to be so bloody serious when I wrote those resolutions? You would have thought that I of all people couldn't have written something so sensible. I can't even rely on myself to be disobedient these days. Well I'd better go, I have to get ready for Quidditch practice. We have a big game against Slytherin coming up.
March 11th
Well we just lost miserably to Slytherin. And Draco is such a gloater. He shot me one of those smug smiles once he landed after catching the snitch and said, "What's the matter? Can't keep up with your own boyfriend?" I had half a mind to punch him in that smug little face of his. If only it wouldn't have gotten me suspended for at least a game… This is even worse than sore loser Corner, and I thought that was bad. At least with him it was my team that won. And I'm not exactly someone who likes to lose. But I never knew how important winning was to Annick. After Draco caught the snitch she just flew down and stormed off the pitch. I didn't see her again until I came into out room. I think she blames me for the loss. She was muttering something like 'if she had been able to keep her eyes on the snitch instead of her stupid boyfriend' and 'she's suppose to be captain? I thought captain's were suppose to have talent'. I gave a slight cough just to let her know that I was there. She looked slightly embarrassed, but only slightly. What she really seemed to be feeling was anger. I also noticed a few torn up bits of parchment on the floor. That's why I decided to take my Diary writing to the common room. I hope she gets over this soon. I don't fancy having to sleep in the same room with her tonight.
March 17th
You'll never believe this. I just got a letter from Ron. Here I think I'll stick this one in for safe keeping.
Hey Sis,
I've missed you! I can't believe you didn't send me a birthday card! I never thought Harry telling you that you shouldn't would stop you. Oh, and speaking of Harry, he mustn't ever find out that I wrote to you okay? He'll kill me if he does. He's still going on about the whole low profile thing; even Hermione scolded me when she caught me writing a letter. But I told her that I'm not a complete idiot, after all I am her boyfriend so how could I be, and that I wasn't about to tell you anything that would put you, us, or anyone else in grave danger. I read in your last letter that you said Malfoy came back to Hogwarts. I know you said that he seems a bit better but I still don't like the idea of you anywhere near him. I hope you're being careful. So they made you Quidditch captain? Congratulations! I'd give you a hug if I weren't lord knows where. I hope you guys are winning! I can't believe you think that your new keeper could be better than me! I was the best keeper that team ever had! I truly don't know how you're getting along without me. I hope your doing well in all your N.E.W.T. classes. You'd better because you're the last shot at any of us younger than Percy finishing their N.E.W.T.'s. So buckle down and study hard, as Hermione would say. Well maybe she wouldn't say it like that but you know what I mean. We all really miss you and hope that you're doing alright. It is after all your first year all by yourself. Hermione and I both really miss you. And as little as Harry admits it, so does he. I noticing him every once in a while staring at a photo that he keeps with him. I decided to take a closer look and realized that it was one of the photos taking the day of the wedding of the two of you. He gets mad at me, saying that I'm going to put us all in danger and here he is with a photo. They find that and who do you think they'd go after to get to Harry? He may pretend that he's moved on but I know that really, he's still mad about you. I'm sure once we're done with our 'business' he'll get down on his knees and beg you to take him back. Well I have lots to do tomorrow and Hermione keeps trying to look over my shoulder to make sure I haven't said anything that I shouldn't have. So I'd better end this now.
With all my love,
Ron
(p.s. tell mum and dad that I'm alright and I love them too)
Well so much for staying away from Draco. Do you think Ron would kill me if I told him the truth? But it's only because he hasn't met the new Draco. I'm sure if he did they'd get along smashingly. Unless Ron killed him before he got a chance to explain… I bet Ron was jealous when he first found out that I made Quidditch Captain. I think ever since he was old enough to understand what that was he's wanted that role so it's understandable that he'd be jealous that his little sister got to do it and not him. And he's certainly made me feel like there's no pressure in doing well at school. Like does he think that I never even thought about the fact that I'll be the only one since Percy to finish? I wonder if it's true what he said about Harry. Do you really think Harry's the type to take such a risk by carrying a photo of me around? And what if he does come back after all this and expects me to leap back into his arms? Is that really what I want to happen? I know I was happy when I was with Harry, and I have liked him since my first year but I'm just not sure. Are Draco and I happy? I don't always trust him as well I should but it's getting better. I'm learning to at least forgive him when I think he's done something that is more like the old him. And we do have lots of fun together. I guess I should stop worrying. It's not like I have to make this decision right this instant. And I never know, maybe it will never even come to me having to choose. Yeah, I'll just wait and see what happens.
March 23rd
Slytherin just lost to Hufflepuff! That means currently we still have the lead for points! Wahoo! Okay, I'm way overused the ! just there. But it's really good news. The moment the Snitch was caught Annick turned to me and asked when our next practice would be. She's getting a bit ahead of herself. Our next game isn't until the middle of next month. But I guess we do need to train hard. We're only ahead of Slytherin by one win so if we loose to Ravenclaw and Slytherin beats them next month then we'll be tied for points. Well I'm sure we can beat them. Ravenclaw isn't exactly the greatest team. But that does mean that Slytherin should be able to beat them which would still leave them at 1 game behind us. Oh well, worst comes to worst we have to clobber them in the finals. I can teach good old Draco that he beating me was just a fluke.
I hope everybody liked that chapter. I apologize in advance for the fact that my next post probably won't be up for a while, maybe not until the Christmas Holidays. I promise that I will force myself to write something before the end of the Christmas Holidays but I can't guarantee anything before that. But maybe if I get lots of reviews I'll be inspired to write more. I'm still looking for suggestions as to what you guys would like to see happen next. So make sure that you REVIEW!
