Honestly, I am soooo sory for being away for so long! I didn't mean to be! I might be driving some of you crazy, though, so I'll let you know what happens as far as Draco, Hermione, and Harry.

I kissed Draco 4 days ago! Ahhh! I have been avoiding him and Harry ever since but it is kind of hard to avoid Harry considering he's MY BOYFRIEND! That's right, Hermione Granger has scored the guy with the spiffiness, the ultimate bish bash bosh, Harry Potter! I know, journal! I am so lucky to have him! But what about Draco? I AM attracted to him, but I love Harry more, don't I? I mean, Harry has been my true love this whole time, right? Oh, I have no clue what to do! Where's my mom when I need her? I guess I'll ask Ginny. She's had about 50,00,000 boyfriends. I'll go find her now….
Later 9/24
Ok… I'm just a little freaked out right now…. I guess I should tell you why….
I walk up to Ginny in the common room. I open my mouth to speak but she beats me to it.
Ginny: Who'd you kiss that you didn't mean to?
Hello? How did she know just by looking at me? Anyway since she knows more than I do, I decided to let that slide and just tell her.
Me: I can't tell you unless you promise not to tell.
Ginny: Fine. I promise.
Me: Well, I went to the library four days ago.
Ginny: And that matters why?
Me: Because that's where I kissed him! And I was looking for a book. I saw Draco sitting all alone and looking sad. So I walked over to cheer him up and…..
Ginny: You didn't?
I grin guiltily.
Me: Um… I might have…
Ginny: You so did! Oh my gosh! You kissed Dra-
She never finishes that sentence because right at that moment, a knife flies through the air and hits her in the chest. It ruptures her heart and she dies instantly. I am glad she doesn't suffer. Ok, you can tell I'm joking. I hope. But she really didn't get to finish her sentence. But it wasn't because her heart ruptured. It might have been because I clamped a hand over her mouth at that moment.
Me: Shhh…. I don't want the whole world to know! So what should I do?
Ginny thinks for a moment. Then she gets all "Eureka!" on me.
Ginny: Well, it's obvious what you have to do! Go with Harry to the dance, then dump him and go for Draco! Everybody loves a bad boy! Draco is a bad boy. It works out perfectly for you. I'll keep Harry's mind off you.
She winks, which sends a shiver down my spine. I don't like the sound of this.
Me: Oh, that's easy for you to say because you aren't torn between guys here! I can't choose and you're telling me to go for Draco so you can have Harry! But if I stay with Harry, you'll probably end up snogging Draco all the time! You're just being a prat!
I storm off, fuming. Oh, Ginny thinks she can have either of them, does she? Well, we'll see about that!

Journal! Old buddy! Wow, I haven't written in a while… Things have been moving right along, though… I have been in a really good mood since Hermione became my girlfriend and it has been showing, especially in Potions. I have been really nice to Snape. I know it's weird to be nice to Snape unless your sucking up to him but still…. I mean, when you are crazy about your best friend (and, hopefully, vise versa) it tends to show. Hermione seems to be dodging me lately. I can't see why she wouldn't want to be around me, so why isn't anyone clueing me in? Oh, crap. Here comes Draco. I really don't want to fight him right now.

That was so awesome! Harry just totally beat up Malfoy! He said something about "that bloody prat prancing around after his girlfriend" or something and then tore loose on him. It wasn't pretty. Then again, Harry has some nice sized bruises now, too. They have spent all afternoon in Dumbledore's office. They are going to be in so much trouble. I wonder what Harry meant. I intend to find out one way or another.
Later 9/27
Bloody hell! I had to ask Ginny what's going on because Neville swore he didn't have a clue. Guess what I found out! Hermione kissed Draco or he kissed her. Either way, Harry was pretty mad and had every right to be. Draco knows Harry and Hermione are going out. I mean, they pretty much snog non-stop outside of class. I'm surprised he didn't notice! Maybe he did notice and he just wanted to cause trouble! See, Professor McGonnagal was wrong. I do have some brain power! I hope she sees this one day so she can see she was wrong about me. Take that, Professor!

Great. The dance is two days away and I have detention today, tomorrow, and the day after the dance with Professor Allensburg. So it could be worse. At least Professor Allensburg will give me something better than scraping various rotting potions ingredients out of cauldrons. I might even get out early! Gasp! But Professor Allensburg is just cool like that. But detention is worth it for beating Draco up. You have no clue how bad I've wanted to do that for the past few years. He has a black eye that he is parading around with like it's a battle scar. Madame Pomfrey (unfortunately) fixed him up other than that. If he is so tough, why isn't he sporting a broken nose or something? A black eye isn't very bad compared to what he could have. All I know is that 'Mione should be safe from him for a while. If he tries again to steal my girlfriend, Madame Pomfrey better be ready to cure worse stuff than a broken nose. Pretty boy wouldn't be so pretty then would he?

Oh my God! The dance is tomorrow and I'm seriously thinking about breaking up with Harry the day after. If he is this jealous all the time, I can't date him. I know I'll get over him if it comes to me having to dump him. But do I really want to date Draco and put him in Harry's crosshairs? He'd be a sitting duck. I've got to figure this out! I guess I'll think about it some more tonight and make my final decision tomorrow when I test my theory of Harry's jealousy. By the way, I found out some else Neville likes! Professor Allensburg! I am so glad Professor McGonnagal isn't reading this!

Ok, I don't think was my best chapter but I can't stay up and spend all my time on one fanfic! Sorry, no answers really about Hermione, Harry, and Draco! I was going to put it in this chapter but I decided you could wait a little longer!
