Well, I suppose that answers the question about whether we have to write everyday. It's been like 4 days since I wrote in here last and nothing has happened. I wonder how long we can go without writing before something happens to punish us. Well, I'm not going to be the one to find out. I'm already in the hospital wing, I don't want to be back here anytime soon. Actually that's the reason I'm writing. I was just laying here, and realized I haven't written anything for awhile. I wonder if I'm the only one who hasn't been wring regularly. I bet Hermione writes in hers daily. She's so good about that kind of thing. Oh, well…I suppose I should explain why I'm in the infirmary. It was that git Malfoy's fault. Stupid little ferret. He started another ione of his little insulting sprees, now normally, I do pretty well at keeping it together. Ron's not so good, but he's improved over the years. But of course Malfoy had to go too far. Ron flipped and tried to hex him. But Malfoy's got pretty good reflexes, he sent his own hex at Ron. But they're spells hit, and one hit me, and the other hit this poor 2nd year who was just walking by. Weirdest thing too. I didn't know that spells could bounce off each other. Now normally that wouldn't be so bad, Madame Pomfrey can reverse hexes pretty easily. But no, Malfoy decided that the best way to stay outta trouble was to help the 2nd yr (she was a raven claw) to the infirmary. Of course seeing as she was the only one that wasn't in either of our groups that saw our little tiff, if he got her to say we started it, he could get out of most of the punishment. Ron decided half way up one of the moving staircases to accuse Malfoy of just that. Well,it ended in Malfoy pushing Ron, who bumped me ratherly hard, and knocked me over the railing. I was just luck their was a staircase directly below us. So my fall wasn't too far. But it didn't keep me from breaking a few bones. So here I am…bones all healed, but Madame Pomfrey thought it best I rest up a bit. Oh here she comes, better go.

Here I am sitting in Potions, and I don't have Harry to talk to. I'm pretending to be taking notes, Which for once, Snape is falling for. I can't believe it. Aparently he only thinks I have anyone to write to when Harry's here. HA…he's wrong. I feel kinda bad that Harry's hurt, but hey, he gets to miss classes. And really it was more the ferret-face's fault than mine. If he hadn't of pushed me, everything would have been fine. I think he did it on purpose. But Hermione insists than no matter the bad feelings between our groups, Malfoy wouldn't go as far as purposely knocking Harry off a moving staircase. But I'm not so sure. Oh Bloody hell,
I just realized that Snape's glaring at me. They started the potions, so my cover's blown.

Where to start…
I guess I'll start with Neville. I asked him out the day after my last entry. He said yes, not that I expected anything else. I think he was relieved that he didn't have to approach me about it. J Things are going fairly well. We're taking things slow. I'm only Neville's second girlfriend, and his first was when he was like 7. So it doesn't really count. I think it's good though. I don't want to go too far that if we decide to break up, it'll make our friendship awkward. I want to give Neville a chance, he's such a sweet guy. But I don't want to regret it by going too fast to realize we aren't right for each other.
Let's see, what else has happened,
I've been talking to Hermione, and I've decided that I need to give her and my brother a little push towards each other. It's so obvious that they are head over heals for each other, well, obvious for everyone but them. Also, I've caught Hermione staring over at the Slytherin table this week; and granted some of them guys are pretty hot, and I really don't have as much against Slytherin as Ron does, but I don't think any of them would be good for Hermione. Especially since the majority of them have been brainwashed into the purity of blood crap. Thinking about it…it's got to be either Blaise or Malfoy. They're the only real attractive ones in her year, and Hermione's got a thing about dating guys in a lower year than her. The Seventh years are just scary, so it can't be one of them. Now Blaise isn't a bad guy, me and him are actually friends. However most people don't know that. We don't hide it…but we don't flaunt our friendship either. But I still don't think he'd be good for Hermione, he's defiantly a "bad boy" and that's not something Hermione needs. I hope it's not Malfoy…I think he'd just hurt her. Even if he liked her, he'd unintentionally hurt her with his beliefs, or by just being himself. She's too sensitive to be with a guy like him, and they're just too different. Not that Ron hasn't unintentionally hurt her with his denseness…but I think Hermione can deal with that. Now that I've babbled on and on, I've totally missed lunch. Oh…I here Neville calling from the common room. Probably wondering where I was. Better go.
Love,
Ginny

I can not believe how long it's been since I last wrote. I'm usually so good at these things. But the work load really has picked up, and with helping Harry and Ron, and my tutoring, I just completely forgot to write. I took up two tutoring sessions this term. McGonagall asked me if I'd be able to give up a little of my time on Tuesday nights to tutor a group of 3rd years in Transfiguration. There is a couple of kids from each house in the group, they just needed a little help with study techniques mostly. Then to my surprise, Professor Snape approached me about tutoring a group from one of his 1st year classes. They were in a study group with some Slytherins, but being Gryffindors, he felt they might do better with a fellow Gryffindor tutoring them. They are doing quite well. Professor Snape has also asked me if I would be up for helping him out a bit after Christmas break with grading papers and whatnot. Seeing as I have the highest mark in my year in Potions, and I won't be taking a big exam at the end of term, he thought I might be up for it. He's been doing a lot of work for the Order these days, and wouldn't mind the help. Of course I agreed. It's great experience. I've been considering get training to be a professor when I leave Hogwarts. And that'd help a lot.
I think Ginny might be trying to get me and Ron together. She keeps hinting, and leaving us alone. Sometimes I wish she'd just get fed up, and lock us in a closet or something. Maybe then I'd get up the courage that Gryffindors are known for and actually make a move.
Love,
Hermione

Ha…I haven't written in this thing for quite sometime, and I haven't been bloody cursed yet. Maybe Dumbledore didn't really put any magic in these stupid things. I'm not going to chance it though. I barely escaped expulsion after the incident with Potter and the staircase. I can't believe that git Weasley tried to convince the professors that I did it on purpose. I may hate Potter, but I don't want him dead. Just like the weasel though. Oddly, Potter actually stood up for me. Shocked Weasley pretty good. But seems not enough to break up the "golden trio". I heard from Blaise that Granger was on my side too. In fact apparently Weasley was alone in his opinion. I wonder if his sister defended me? I'd ask Blaise about it, but I think this little infatuation of mine is better off confined to this journal and my dreams. Plus I just found out that the littlest (and hottest) Weasley has been buddy's with MY best friend for over a year now. I can't believe he never told me. Something about how it just never came up. Whatever. I also heard she's dating Longbottom. Maybe I should rethink liking her. She must have some mental problem if she thinks he's good enough for her.
Weird thing yesterday, I coulda swore I caught the mud blood staring at me. I must be losing it.

I know it's late, but I haven't written in awhile, and I don't want to be cursed. So all I have to say is….
GINNY ASKED ME OUT! WE ARE NOW A COUPLE!
Also,
I haven't blown up a potion or melted a cauldron for days. Maybe my luck has turned.J
