Diary of a Red Head
23rd of August
My Room
10:00 AM
I am doing my homework.
10:01 AM
Alright, maybe I'm not. Maybe I'm writing to you.
10:02 AM
It's none of your business anyway.
Stupidhead.
10:03 AM
Right. I should really start on my homework.
10:04 AM
I am bored.
10:05 AM
Homework, Ginny. Concentrate.
10:06 AM
Oh, Bloody Hell!
10:07 AM
Do you know what happened? Hang on a second; I'm trying to find another quill.
10:11 AM
Found it. Alright. Mum gave me a really expensive pack of Sugar Quills for Christmas, and I had taken one out and I had put it next to my homework. But, I forgot that next to my homework was also my normal quill. I picked one absent-mindly to chew on, but you can imagine that I picked the wrong one.
Now my face and hands are all covered in ink. Brilliant, just brilliant.
10:12 AM
I even taste ink in my mouth.
10:13 AM
Why me?
10:14 AM
I'm going to check how bad it is.
10:15 AM
That is, I'm going to check how bad it is after I muster up enough courage to go to the bathroom.
10:16 AM
What?
10:17 AM
Somebody could be in the hall, you know.
10:18 AM
Alright, alright! I'll go!
10:20 AM
Oh, no it's horrible! I met Fred and George on my way out of the bathroom.
10:21 AM
Well, I don't think that they will be able to use their noses for a while, but that is completely and utterly their own fault.
10:22 AM
I mean, honestly, it's not very comforting if you make comments like 'That – laugh – is the – laugh – most funniest – laugh – thing I – laugh – have ever – laugh –seen!' when your little sister is having a fit because she got ink smudged all over her face.
10:24 AM
You'd slam a door in their face too, right?
10:26 AM
Thanks. Really comforting. Oh, let's just ignore little Ginny because she's not here!
10:30 AM
Well, because said person that is not here is not missed anyway, said person is going to the bathroom to clean her face!
10:34 AM
Said person is back from the bathroom. She is holding a not-so-white-white cloth in her hand which is a bit smudged with ink, but said person hasn't gotten the ink of her face and said person on top of that, is feeling guilty because she has to go to mum to tell her that said person ruined her cloth.
10:36 AM
I'm quitting the said person stuff. It's even annoying me, and I wrote it for goodness' sake.
10:38 AM
That's it! I'm a genius! I'll just go to Mum to ask her if she can remove the ink!
10:45 AM
Somebody up there hates me. Really. I came downstairs, looking for mum. I entered the kitchen expecting her to be there, but she wasn't.
'Mum?' I called out softly, looking around.
'What is it Ginny?' said my mum.
I followed the sound and I came out in the living room. There was my mum, sitting by herself.
'Well, as you can see I've-,' I started, but I broke off.
Harry was sitting in the chair across from my mother.
And he saw me.
With smudged ink over my face.
10:50 AM
So, I did what any other fifteen year old would do. I ran up the stairs. Screaming hysterically.
10:51 AM
Now Harry probably thinks that I smudge ink all over my face, come downstairs to call out for my mum, enter the living room and then run up the stairs in a hurry all the while screaming my head off.
10:52 AM
My life is so wonderful.
10:53 AM
Gods, I'm stressed. Really.
10:54 AM
Hey! Did you know that stressed spells desserts backwards? I never really noticed that before! How cool!
10:55 AM
Don't. Look. At. Me. Like. That.
Thanks.
11:00 AM
I'm going to take a shower. I need to get this ruddy ink off.
11:15 AM
I just came back from my shower. And I'm pissed off.
I mean really, pissed off.
There is a label on the ground of our shower and it reads, in glowy black letters, 'Fred'.
11:16 AM
Why one earth does it read 'Fred' anyway?
11:17 AM
Personally, I think that 'Ginny' would be much and much better.
11:18 AM
Maybe I can change it to Ginny magically...
11:19 AM
Well, that would be a problem for the person who made the shower.
What if he was named Fred?
He'd have to change his name to Ginny.
11:21 AM
Too bad for him then.
11:30 AM
I'll go ask Ron what he thinks about the nameplate thingy.
12:00 PM
Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD Ginny!
By Merlin, I'm officially going to lock myself up in my room and I'll never come out again!
12:02 PM
You'd do that too.
12:04 PM
Oh, alright! I'll tell! Stupid, evil, diaries...
12:05 PM
I went to Ron's room. And the door was open. I, being the curious Ginny that I am, was curious. So I stepped inside.
At first, I saw Ron pressing something against a wall. I assumed it was Pig or some sort of poster he'd have to tape to the wall, but when I stepped closer I saw that it was a person.
A person with bushy brown hair at that.
And the person with the bushy brown hair and my brother were doing things that you'd rather not see.
12:07 PM
Not that way, you git. I mean that they were kissing. But still, that is something you'd rather not see.
12:08 AM
You imagine your brother who you've lived with practically your whole life snogging the living daylights out of your best friend!
12:09 PM
Exactly.
12:10 PM
'Why, hello Hermione,' I said.
It was really funny. Ron jumped away from the wall as if it had burned him. And his ears turned red. And Hermione turned beet-red.
'Er-Ginny! We were just-' she started, in a really high-pitched voice.
'You – and – him,' I said, pointing at the two of them. Then I burst out laughing.
Ron was shouting something that sounded like 'privacy' and Hermione was mumbling non-stop about what they had to do now, and that her mother would never approve, which got Ron in a fit, which got Hermione angry, and they were fighting again.
Sensing this was a really good time to leave, I slowly backed away. I felt my back collide with something solid.
I gulped.
Luckily, it was only Harry.
I grabbed his shirt and I dragged him outside.
How I managed that, I'll never know. We were walking backwards. But still. I managed.
'Why are they fighting?' asked Harry, once we stopped moving.
12:12 PM
Alright, that last sentence sounded really dirty.
12:14 PM
Though I wouldn't mind moving with Harry.
12:15 PM
Note to self: bad Ginny. Stick your head between the oven doors or something.
12:17 PM
Or smudge ink all over your face and go downstairs to face the love of your life.
12:19 PM
Anyway, so I raised an eyebrow at him.
'Oh, they were kissing,' I said.
He stared.
'They-they-what?' he spluttered.
12:20 PM
And that's all you get to hear. I'm serious. I am not writing down what happened next.
12:21 PM
Still not.
12:22 PM
No.
12:23 PM
You'll get more out of a wall then out of me.
12:24 PM
Oh, alright! I'll tell!
12:25 PM
I threw my hands up.
12:26 PM
I had a towel on.
12:27 PM
I flashed Harry.
12:28 PM
Oh, Merlin.
12:30 PM
Hey, what's that tapping noise?
12:31 PM
Oh, look! It's such a pretty owl!
12:32 PM
Hang on, who'd be writing to me?
12:39 PM
Dear Ginny,
Look, I'm really sorry for what happened. Ron once told me that you fancied Harry ever since you were little, and when Ron read that part of your diary (it was your diary, wasn't it?) I sort of flipped.
I guess I just acted a little rational, and I shouldn't have done that. I miss you, Gin-Gin. I hope you still want to be my girlfriend.
Sincerely sorry,
Dean
12:41 PM
And he sent twelve white roses with it as well.
12:42 PM
Aw … how sweet of him.
12:43 PM
'Ron told me you fancied Harry ever since you were little'
What the bloody hell?
12:45 PM
Alright. Fine. Maybe I like Harry.
12:46 PM
But I like Dean as well.
12:50 PM
Do I?
12:51 PM
...
12:55 AM
I mean, he was my boyfriend. I have to like him.
12:56 AM
Well, I sort of forgot about the whole use-other-guys-to-get-over-Harry project, or U.O.G.T.G.O.H.
12:57 AM
So what in the name of Merlin am I going to do with Dean and Harry?
12:58 AM
Say it, I'm doomed.
Author's Note: -does dance on 'Spell on my Heart'- Ha-HA! You thought I quit, didn't you? Well, guess again! I came back to spite you all! -cackles insanely-
Alright.
Maybe I didn't.
Maybe I wanted a break.
Oh, shut up.
I'm not talking to you.
I'm going to talk to my nice reviewers :)
