In Dreams

(still September 7) 30 minutes later

Well, I ALMOST didn't talk to Hermione. When she got the hangings open, what did she do? She yelled at me!

"What is your problem, Ronald? He really is sorry, and-" I cut her off.

"Yeah. Right. Is it a custom to kiss people after they apologize?"

"Ronald (why does she keep calling me that? I HATE it when she calls me that)! I really like Draco!"

DRACO!

"Besides," she continued, "you've never had a girlfriend! You've never had anyone outside your own family to love! You're just jealous!"

Excuse me? I decided not to bring up Lavender. She'd just remind me about the whole 'Won-Won' thing. Ughhh….

"Hmmm…let's see," I said. "A girl…who's my friend…that I lo-" I stopped there. Blast my phobia of talking about my emotions! That was when I threw my pillow at Hermione, and she fell down the stairs. At the moment I didn't care. I used a Summoning Charm to get my pillow back and then a Barrier Charm to keep any girl out of the dormitory. I think one of the boys is coming up the stairs. I'm going to pretend to be asleep.

September 15

I decided I needed someone to confide in besides a book, so I chose Harry. Since I couldn't come right out and say it, I had to let him read this. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Besides, I trust him.

Awww…-Harry

Hey!

Fine, I can see you're having a moment here. walks off-Harry

Anyway, at first he said, "Ha! I knew it!" and then, "I can't believe Hermione!" Thankfully, he took my side (how could he take Hermione's side when I was obviously right? Malfoy's up to something). But he's also excited about Hermione's Horcrux theory and bringing the 17 year old Marauders here. Minus Wormtail.

"Maybe we should help her," he said.

"We're mad at her, remember?"

"No, I mean without her knowing it…" I could tell he had come up with a plan.

We're about to execute Operation Theft (MWAHAHAHA! I am the MASTER of coming up with Original Names For Evil Schemes!)…I just realized that I haven't been writing about what's been happening here at Hogwarts. Just stuff about Hermione. Hmmm…Ah well. There is a Hogsmeade visit tomorrow. But Hermione's going with 'Draco.' glowers

September 16

We spent the entire night reading Hermione's book. Hermione's so caught up with 'Draco' she didn't even notice the book was gone this morning!

Anyway, here's what we did:

I actually remembered (!) a charm from class that makes things sticky.

We cast the spell on our fingers and feet around midnight; everyone else was asleep by then so that they could get up early for their Hogsmeade visit.

We crept along the ceiling above the staircase to Hermione's dorm (last time it turned into a slide). I felt like that Muggle character Spiderman. shudders Spiders….

We snatched the book from Hermione's bedside table and slid down the stairs (or slide) to save time.

The book was full of big words like 'astral projection'; but luckily Hermione had notes that explained the definitions of words we didn't know. We reckon we know how to do it!

We're going to attempt to bring the Marauders to this time at 9:00 (it's 8:30 now), when Hermione will be at Hogsmeade with that

I'm going to go help Harry set up now.
