Disclaimer: It all belongs to J.K. Rowling

Summary: These are basically a few missing moments from Half-Blood Prince. The reason I am doing this is because I am incredibly dissatisfied with most of the ones milling about there, featuring a completely obsessed Ginny. If anyone read the now famous interview J.K. shared with Mugglenet creator Emerson and Leaky Cauldron founder Melissa, they would have realized that she basically said that Ginny had to get over Harry for him to notice her. I have decided to keep up that notion in my own ficlet.

This is Ginny Weasley's journal, but I am not dating it, because no one reads the dates anyways. The entry numbers are random, because I am not going to even try and pretend that I entered all of them, I just wanted to insert the ones that I felt showed a change in her relationship with Harry or events that are particularly important to each other.

Author's Note: Last week's incorrect statement was, "Only Harry would find it adorable that a fiery tempered red head was annoyed with him." If any of you are familiar with the story of James Potter and Lily Evans, they can say that this is not the case. )

Now, on with the story

Entry #181

Ron and Hermione are driving me NUTS! The two of them really need to realize that they like each other. They were meant to be together. The two of them fit together like salt and pepper. They aren't the same thing, they are almost opposites, and yet you can't imagine them apart. When you see one without the other, it just doesn't seem right. And for reasons unknown to everyone else, despite their differences, they go great together. They were just made to be.

Okay, I know that neither has technically admitted that they like the other, but I think that they know how the other feels.

Ron practically falls over whenever Hermione gets dressed up. And even though she looks really pretty when she does, and most of the boys do look twice at her, no one seems to notice her the way Ron does. He can still tell you the exact shade of dress she wore to the Yule Ball two years ago. He was practically kicking himself for not asking her earlier.

And even though Hermione is a very pretty witch, most of the guys will openly admit that she is very good looking, they are all so intimidated by her. They won't ask her out because she's the brightest witch in the year, she's very self-assured and doesn't put up with any nonsense, and then she's been through so much, she's put her life on the line more than any of them, so she scares them all a little bit.

But this doesn't bother Ron. He's not afraid of her because she's the smartest witch in the year, or one of the prettiest, or so self-reliant, I think he's afraid of her because she's Hermione. She has always been just that, so to officially announce that he would like to make her more than "just Hermione" would open up the floodgates, and they can't be closed once they have been opened.

I personally don't have any idea what Hermione would see in Ron, but maybe that's just because he is my brother. Okay, I need to get into an objective mindset to think here. Well, I suppose Ron is rather funny, so she likes that. And he's a really good quidditch player, although that can't be the only thing, because if that was it she would've been all over Harry years ago.

Okay, from a truly objective frame of mind, I might say that Ron is sort of cute, but even my objective frames of mind have limits.

Ron is really nice to Hermione, sure he teases her a lot, but never about something that she truly minds. He has never made fun of her hair, or her teeth, or anything that the Slytherins make fun of, at least not since I have been at Hogwarts. And he always makes sure she knows that she is smarter than him. He doesn't let her forget it.

Whenever anyone makes fun of her, he defends her, it doesn't matter who said it or what they said, the only thing that matters is that they hurt Hermione. Once in my second year Snape called her a know-it-all and then Ron started yelling back at Snape. No student but Harry ever yells at Snape, and even then it still is really quite a big deal. So I guess Ron has that going for him.

I dunno, they probably like each other for reasons only the other can see. Like how I melt every time I see Harry's arrogant little smirk, and others probably don't even notice it. Or the way Harry's favorite dessert is treacle tart but he'll give me the last piece if I want it. So I guess only Ron and Hermione can answer the question as to why Ron likes Hermione and Hermione likes Ron.

None the less, I still wish the two would get on with it and admit that they like each other. The tension between the two of them is so thick that you can barely miss it. It's kind of like it forms a wall, and anyone who tries to walk between them ends up getting splattered. Oh well, at least when one of them does gather their wits about them and admit their true feelings the other will be feeling the same way.

I suppose we will just have to wait and see what will happen with Ron and Hermione.

Entry #182

The rumors about me and Harry are becoming so annoying. It is driving me completely insane. I just can't understand how Harry puts up with it all.

Actually, I can understand how Harry puts up with it all. I suppose after being the number one source of gossip in the school for five years, (I am not counting his third year because then the number one source of gossip was Sirius, and most people don't know about the connection between the two) ANYWAYS, after being the top topic of interest for so long, you start to build up an immunity to the whole thing. It really doesn't seem to bother him. Or, if it does, he certainly hides it extremely well.

Some of the rumors aren't so bad; some of them are even downright funny. Like Romilda Vane asking me if Harry had a tattoo on his chest. It was a little bit shocking at the time, but it was hilarious none the less. I suppose that's what girls get together and discuss Harry's body image. Actually I don't suppose this, I know this, because it was a rather common topic in my dorm room amongst my roommates before I actually started going out with Harry. I think they still talk about all this, but not when I am around in any case.

That reminds me, there was this one time when my dorm mates were discussing whether or not Harry had a six pack. Now I was practically half asleep when I told them that he did in fact, have a six pack. It was a great moment, where they stopped all movement and just stared at me. A few seconds later I found myself squashed by several female bodies squealing, "OH MY GOD! HOW DO YOU KNOW? HAVE YOU SNOGGED HARRY? (This was before we got together,) HAVE YOU SEEN HIM WITHOUT A SHIRT? IS HE GODLY!" Finally I managed to explain to them that Harry lived at my house during the holidays, so that I had in fact seen him without a shirt. This resulted in several shared looks between my friends and giggling. Ah, nostalgia.

But back to the true theme of my journal entry. All the rumors that are floating around are driving me insane. It's like they are slowly picking into my brain and digging their way into my skull until they make me want to rip out my insides.

Like the rumor that I am pregnant with Harry's love child. PREGNANT! I am 15 years old, and they think that I am pregnant with his child. What a complete waste of people's breath. They could be talking about something far more important, such as you-know-who's attacks.

Another rumor is that Harry and I have an arranged marriage and we are only together because of our parents. Or at least my parents and the caretaker of the Potter's will. I suppose this isn't as bad as me being pregnant, but I like Harry without any outside assistance, especially that of my parents'. I dunno, I just think that it's unfair to assume that we are really any different from the other couples in Hogwarts. Harry and I just take walks around the lake, hang out together on the weekends, and snog, just like everybody else. People seem to think that because he is Harry, our relationship must be more exciting and dangerous. Like most of our dates consist of us fighting death eaters. That's not true at all.

I suppose this is something I will have to put up with as long as I am with Harry, which will hopefully be a long time to come.

Entry #183

I got a response from both Fred and George today. Here is what their letters said…

Dear Ginny,

I hope everything is going well at Hogwarts. Mum hasn't gotten a letter in nearly three weeks about any mischief that you or Ron has caused, so I hope that you aren't slacking on the pranking end of things. You have to keep up Ginny; making the teachers lives a pain in the arse is not as easy as one might think. It requires stamina, diligence, and work. I expect you to report back to me with the news that you have been the source of at least two major qualms of chaos at Hogwarts. And don't use OWLS as an excuse. Bill got 12 OWLS when he was at Hogwarts and I still make more money than him. Just something for you to keep in mind.

Remember, when you pull a prank on a teacher to pull it on someone who will be afraid to retaliate. Here's who you shouldn't prank:

1) Hagrid because he's awesome

2) Dumbledore because he's pretty cool and he usually goes along with them which ruins the whole point of the thing

3) Binns because he doesn't even notice which makes it incredibly dull

and actually that's it. Everyone else is fair game. Only try McGonagall and Snape if you are daring though. Sinistra and Trelawney would be perfect to start out with.

Now, I hope you take this advice to heart and follow it through closely. But other important things need to be discussed Ginny. I will not deny that I was happy to hear that you had dumped Dean like the rot he was. I think that you made a wise choice, though I still can't believe it had taken you so long. I will make sure to not send Dean any of the products he requested, though he may still be receiving packages from Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. When one of these packages arrives in front of Dean, I would advise that you leave the room immediately. It might be wise to warn Ron of this also, as he and Dean share a dorm.

I am practically seething at what he did to you. Spying on my younger sister like that. Clearly he doesn't realize who he is dealing with. Don't you worry your pretty little head Gin, George and I will take care of everything. All you do is make sure to pull some fantastic pranks that put George and I to shame.

What exactly were you doing with Harry in the common room so late at night? Because Ickle Ronniekins seems to be alluding to the fact that you and Mr. Potter are dating. And when I say alluding, I mean he told me and George flat out that you two were now seeing each other. I cannot say that I am thrilled with this, as you seem determined to continue seeing males in a romantic setting. However, Potter seems to be the best choice you could make of all the selection in front of you, so I hope that you two do well. Now keep in mind Ginny, that I will be making sure that Harry doesn't hurt you, but should he manage this anyways, his head his mine.

With all the brotherly love I can manage,
Fred

Dear Ginny,

If Dean ever does anything like that again, punch him. Or bat-bogey hex him, I can honestly say from experience that your bat-bogey hexes are a truly terrifying experience. I only hope that you can manage to keep control long enough to get away without making the teachers think it was you who cast it. Part of what is nagging me is that Dean might have overheard something that is crucial to the you-know-what. I am not exactly sure what you and Harry were talking about, but if it was as serious as you say it is, maybe Harry should show Dean some of the hexes he didn't teach him last year.

That brings me to another bone I have to pick with you. Harry. You are dating him. I cannot say that I didn't see this coming. I noticed the way he looked at you over the summer. It was far from comforting. None the less, you could do far worse than the chosen one, so I give you both my blessing. Harry will not use you, or try to take advantage of you, which is always a brother's worst fear.

Fred and I have arranged to take care of Dean. He will be a bit of a test dummy for us, if you will. He should have thought twice before double crossing my sister.

Fred tells me that you have not been causing nearly enough chaos. The last time I checked, it was a Weasley's duty to cause chaos, and leave his, (or her) mark at Hogwarts. Maybe you just need some help to get the ball rolling. To be frank, it is possible that you just aren't as gifted as Fred and I were.

Try to think outside the box, and believe it or not, I would advise that you don't use too many of our products. We make them for the less talented tricksters, and I know that it is in you, if you dig down enough to reach it. Originality is key. Think of original places to put dungbombs. I know that it was quite the success when Fred and I put them under the staff table at the Halloween feast. Or perhaps you should be looking into new ways to transform the teachers. Turning Snape into a bat shouldn't be so hard for example; he is already half of the way there. I know you can think of something Ginny, it's in your blood!

Love from London,
George

Oh my, I truly have some wild brothers. I suppose they mean well though, and they really do love me and just want to take care of me.

Plus they are right; it has been awhile since I pulled a prank. I should talk to Ron, make it a Weasley affair. Oh, even in these horrific times, I can still do something as fun as pull a prank. I love Hogwarts.

Thanks for reading my fic, and reviews, while not necessary, are greatly appreciated. I cannot express how nice it feels to see the fanfic bot telling me I have a review in my inbox, and it does encourage me to write more. I have completed chapter 10, and I can honestly see several more coming soon, and reviews remind me to keep writing and that my work is being appreciated. Thanks to those who have reviewed, it really does help me write better.

Friends don't let friends read fics and not review.

Sara: Actually if you go to mugglenet com (the BEST Harry Potter website out there people,) you will see that J.K. Rowling told the founder otherwise. See more about mugglenet on my rant on the bottom of the page.

Okay People, time for tell you all a little bit about mugglenet. Mugglenet is one of the foremost Harry Potter websites out there on the internet. I discovered it when I went to jkrowling com. I was milling about, viewing all the various things she has to offer, when I noticed that she has a page on her website dedicated to some various fansites. Well I looked through and noticed that she seemed particularly fond of two sites: mugglenet and the leaky cauldron, I have been huge fans ever since. They are two different yet strikingly similar websites. They offer loads of Harry Potter news, discussions, and everything else you could possibly hope for. I was particularly drawn to mugglenet. If nothing else, it helped me realize something that I had not noticed before, there are thousands of Harry Potter uber-fans out there. Well book six rolls around and Jo decides to hold a press conference with cub reporters asking the questions. But she decided that she also wanted to give a private interview with people who REALLY knew what they were talking about. So she thought and she realized that the people who she really wanted to ask her questions were Leaky Cauldron founder Melissa, and Mugglenet founder Emerson. Emerson was still in high school, Melissa was in her early twenties. Well, the online Harry Potter world was in an all out freakout. Both Melissa and Emerson held contests for viewers of the fansites to submit questions, polls were held for questions that should be asked, overall it was huge excitement. Well they went and held a private two hour interview where the most intriguing questions of any JK Rowling interview were asked. I highly suggest all of you to go check it out. If you go to at the top of the page there is a link that says Mugglenet/TLC interview with J.K. Rowling. She reveals quite a bit that you wouldn't necessarily get from the books.
