Diary of a Red Head
28th of August
Ginny's Room
5:30 AM
Have escaped into kitchens.
Am proud of self.
6:00 AM
Bloody ovens.
6:02 AM
You'd think that after fifteen years, it would've warmed up to me and not burnt my chocolate cake, which took me three hours to make.
6:04 AM
Fine, one hour.
6:05 AM
All right, fifty minutes.
But still.
6:50 AM
Dreadful, dreadful thing just happened.
Was innocently having scowling contest with evil-oven-of-doom (was winning, too!) while making hot chocolate, when Harry came in.
6:51 AM
Dropped boiling-water-can-thing on foot.
Have managed to lethally wound foot twice since beginning of this diary.
Bugger.
6:52 AM
Managed to swear loudly, kick the v. evil thing away, and stomp into the living room.
Fully expected Harry to just stand in kitchen and be ... well, Harry.
6:55 AM
Harry did not live up to my expectations.
Harry followed me into living room.
'Gin, we need to talk,' he said quietly.
6:56 AM
Er ... no, we don't Harry. I'm perfectly content with pretending I didn't see you naked, thanks.
Of course I didn't say that.
6:57 AM
Well, I might've sort of said something similar.
6:58 AM
Something along the lines of 'No, Harry. Perfectly content see you naked, thanks.'
6:59 AM
They ought to create a special ward at St. Mungo's for me.
And then they'll call it 'The Wicked Weasley Ward'.
7:00 AM
Am fully aware of the fact that "Wicked" has nothing to do with being stupid.
7:01 AM
'The Woesome Weasley Ward,' perhaps?
7:03 AM
You can lie there in every innocent way you can think of, but I won't tell you, I won't, I won't!
7:05 AM
After I made a complete and utter fool out of myself, Harry sort of stared at me.
'Er ... what?'
I squeaked.
I actually squeaked.
7:07 AM
I never squeak.
I growl.
Or snort.
Or something equally un-lady like, like mum likes to remind me.
7:09 AM
'Huh?' Harry said stupidly.
I looked at him strangely.
'Erhm ... yesterday. When you were lying in my bed, remember?'
His eyebrows rose and nearly disappeared into his hairline.
'Gin, I think I would've remembered it if I'd slept in your bed.'
7:11 AM
I absolutely forbid you to think of Harry as some overly-hormonal boy.
Because he is not, you know.
7:12 AM
Yes, you ought to be bloody sorry!
7:13 AM
'But I woke up in my room!' I said, surprised, my voice getting higher with each word.
'No, you woke up in Ron's room.'
7:14 AM
OK ... since when do I sleep on Ron's floor?
7:15 AM
'But – but – you were naked,' I spluttered.
Harry grinned. 'No, I wasn't naked then,' he said.
He wasn't?
All right!
7:25 AM
Hang on.
HE WASN'T?
'You weren't?'
He shook his head.
'But – but – I – you – I waved your boxers around!'
He shrugged. 'Those were my clean boxers. Mrs. Weasley had just put them there for Ron to clean up. He told me later.'
7:30 AM
Oh, yes, let's all tell Harry what's going on! He obviously needs it, since he's the one who woke up with a massive headache on the floor of his brother's bedroom and waved his own boxers around!
7:32 AM
My life is unfair.
7:35 AM
'Humph,' I humhped.
7:36 AM
Have invented new word.
Shall write dictionary with new words, and make a fortune.
Doesn't 'Ginevra Weasley's Wordy Wordinary of Words' sound grand?
7:37 AM
Harry titled his head to the side.
'Well, Gin, I think we ought to talk either way.'
Oh, no, Mr. Let's-Talk-Gin-Potter, I shan't talk to you, never!
'Sure,' I said happily.
Gah.
I hate it when he's persistent like that.
Gah, I say, gah!
7:38 AM
Yes, we'll just forget the fact that he wasn't persistent.
7:40 AM
'D'you ... well ... like me?'
All right, sod this, I can't talk to him.
7:42 AM
'I – have to –you know – and – Ron – breakfast – cake,' I said, making absolutely no sense at all.
Harry stepped in front of me, blocking my way out.
7:44 AM
I hate it when he goes all Gryffindor-y on me.
7:45 AM
'Harry-,' I said reasonably, '-move.'
'No,' he said stubbornly. 'We need to talk right now, and that's exactly what we're going to do.'
'Look, Harry, you are free to talk to the couch, or my mum – no, on second thought, don't talk to my mum - or the clock, and I'm sure that they will be great listeners and that they,-'
7:47 AM
'Look, Ginny-,' he interrupted me, '-I don't care if you don't fancy me the way I fancy you, but at least tell me, and don't be all frosty about it,' he said angrily.
7:48 AM
Well, that was certainly something I wasn't expecting him to say.
Author's Note: Broken computers are evil, I tell you. Especially when they decide to have a let's-not-work-day when it's your birthday. Stupid sods.
