Diary of a Red Head
25th of August
My Room
6:02 AM
That stupid ghoul is at it again.
6:03 AM
Honestly, does he not have any sense of time whatsoever?
6:05 AM
Maybe he just enjoys wailing and clanging in the dead hours of the night. It could be a rule in the ghoul rulebook. Rule number eight hundred and fourteen; be sure to bang, clang, and wail loudly when you bustle around the Weasley's attic.
6:06 AM
Apparently, he doesn't seem to realise that when the Burrow is entirely quiet, it means that people are sleeping.
6:07 AM
Well, alright, it's not entirely quiet.
Ron snores like a grumping elephant (I really wonder how Hermione put up with sleeping in his room), and Fred and George have some kind of thing in their room that explodes every other hour - but you get used to that after a while - and mum and dad have - er ... let's not talk about that.
6:08 AM
Come to think of it, Harry's probably the only quiet one in the house.
6:09 AM
'AAAAAARRRRGGGHHH, THAT BLOODY CAT!'
6:35 AM
After Ron shouted the whole house awake (the ghoul was wailing even harder, trying to drown out the ruckus Ron was making), everybody was summoned downstairs.
Of course, because someone up there hates me and has a bloody horrible sense of humour, I was seated next to Harry. He didn't seem to notice, though. He seemed perfectly content with resting his arms on the table and sleeping.
6:40 AM
Maybe I just have bad khurmi.
6:41 AM
What?
6:42 AM
It's perfectly normal for fifteen-year olds to hate their evil, brooding diaries and have khurmi at the same time, you know.
6:41 AM
Especially when said evil, brooding diaries have names like Towhee.
6:43 AM
I asked Hermione and it seems that it's not khurmi, but kharmu.
6:44 AM
Isn't that an ancient relative of yours from somewhere, perhaps?
6:46 AM
Oh, okay.
Crookshanks, Hermione's cat, somehow snuck into Ron's room and jumped onto Ron while he was sleeping. At first, he didn't notice, but when Crookshanks scratched his cheek open, he did.
Hermione was apologising every other second or so (something which was greatly annoying to the rest of us, well, except to Harry, because he was sleeping), but Ron kept ignoring while Mum was healing his face. She did occasionally smack him for not paying attention to Hermione. Mum, that is.
Nearly twenty minutes later, after everyone had finished their chocolate milk and Ron's cheek wasn't bleeding all over the whole kitchen floor, we were sent up to bed again.
I was sleepily mounting the stairs along with Fred, George, Hermione, Harry and lastly Ron, who was still clutching his cheek moodily, even though there was absolutely nothing there anymore.
6:51 AM
The whole thing reminds me of dad's cousin Edward, somehow.
They were very distant and very removed, but still cousins.
6:52 AM
Distant and removed cousin Edward had a large obsession with cats.
6:53 AM
Now that I think about it, cousin Edward died because one of his cats.
6:54 AM
Ewww ... I will never touch Crookshanks again.
6:55 AM
BOOM!
Door slammed open.
'Gin, have you seen my broom?'
Ron.
'Get. Out.' I hissed, sounding very mean and intimidating.
6:55 AM
Ron stared.
6:56 AM
Drat.
There goes my evil plan on dominating the entire wizarding world by making very mean and intimidating hissing sounds.
6:57 AM
'Why?' he asked dumbly.
'Because, Ron, it's my room!' I said exasperatedly, launching my mum-glare on him.
He blinked.
6:58 AM
Have decided to ignore Ron and continue making list of 101 Ways to Kill Myself.
6:59 AM
Ignoring Ron plan is going v. well. Have been ignoring him for a whole minute already.
7:00 AM
11. Send Snape an invitation to Madam Puddyfoot's. Insist that Professor McGonagall did it.
7:01 AM
12. Buy Voldemort a mirror that squeals 'Ah! You're ugly!' or 'My, you're looking positively horrid today!' every time he looks at it. Remember to add spooky music for an extra effect.
7:02 AM
13. Say that Malfoy is not as bad as everyone thinks. Show pictures of him weeping over 'Clarinda's Charm', the newest romance novel by Christine Coppleswap.
7:20 AM
Now that I think of it, don't you have a lovely girlfriend diary somewhere called 'Tammy' or something of the sort, who is the very secret diary of Hannah Abbot and the love of your live?
7:21 AM
Well, go on then, marry your Tammy and be very happy, unlike me.
8:00 AM
Breakfast!
8:01 AM
Oh, bloody hell, what if they seat me next to Harry?
8:15 AM
'Ginevra Molly Weasley! Come down for breakfast this instant!'
Ow. Full name. I'd better get down.
8:30 AM
I hate my life.
8:50 AM
I'm going to tell you.
8:52 AM
I really am.
8:53 AM
I am.
8:54 AM
Any minute now.
8:57 AM
Oh, alright.
However, try to remember to send me a wedding invitation to your wedding with Tammy, will you?
9:00 AM
I hobbled downstairs and got ready to open the kitchen door when a 'Ginny!' made me stop. I turned around, only to find Harry beckoning me from the depths of the linen closet. Resisting the urge to run up the stairs screaming, I held my breath and walked inside.
The light immediately clicked on and the door shut itself. I looked at Harry curiously, and he shook his head as he took a step forward.
'You know,-', step, '-there is no-', step, '-easy way to do this.' Here, he halted right in front of me. He towered over me slightly, his hair slightly messy and still in his pyjama bottoms. And no shirt on.
9:02 AM
He has a really nice chest, you know.
9:05 AM
It's completely smooth and muscled and oh...
9:07 AM
Right.
9:08 AM
And then he did the most awful thing. He hugged me.
9:09 AM
I'm utterly serious. He hugged me.
9:10 AM
Not an 'I like you Ginny', not a kiss, not a love note, oh no! Those are too good for Mr. Potter. He gives out hugs instead.
9:12 AM
I loathe him.
Author's Note: I have a headache. And I should be learning from my Maths test, but instead, I just wrote this, hehehe...
