8:22

Total chaos in the dorm this morning. There is crying about 'boring grey eyes' from under Trillium's duvet cover and Jasmine's normal insecurity issues. Stacy is loudly reciting the five hundred and eighty two laws of illegal translating for her Ancient Runes test, Odylia is channeling (very noisily!), and I can't find my transfiguration essay.

8:24

Found it. Covered in purple fluff. Where is that Pygmy Puff? I'm going to strangle it!

8:25

If only it had a neck.

6:43

So annoyed at Dean. Gone off to do homework with Lavender. Again. Tril and Jas are completely on my side.

TM: What a prat! He did that? My advice to you, Ginny, is to dump him, and snog Potter. Or some other Quidditch bloke.

JB: The only way you'll get through the rough spots in relationships is to have a nice, calm- muhlanu-

TM: Shht! (cups Jas' mouth) Or you could just undo the top button of your uniform and put on that really padded bra-

Me: TRIL! You said you wouldn't mention that certain article of clothing ever again!

TM: Yeah… Like I was saying, you should put on that "article of clothing" and go make Dean jeal-

JB: Trillium. That is so immature! Doing vengeful things like that won't solve-

TM: (covers ears with hands) Nu ma nu ma nuh!

And it goes on and on… and on. But you get the point.

Oh and for the record… I don't have padded bras... Only tiny, normal ones.

Urg… so much homework. Going to go the library to finish stupid History essay on Some-Git-Who-Has-A-Funny-Name-And-Who-No-One-Cares-About The Bearded.

9:14pm

Well this one has a neck… Lavender. Will resist the urge to strangle Lavender-The-Boyfriend-Stealer. Will channel…

9:15pm

Channeling… channeling…

9:17pm

It's not working! Stupid boyfriend stealer.

I walked into the library… and what did I see? Well, a bookshelf, of course. But behind the bookshelf, I saw something horrifying and repulsive! She flirted with MY boyfriend! My boyfriend! NOT hers! Mine!

Lavander Brown: Oh Dean! You're so smart! Giggle giggle (touches Dean's shoulder) Oh Dean! You're so funny! Giggle giggle (touches Dean's hand)

Dean Thomas: Oh! How kind of you Lavender to notice! Are you hungry? Do you want some potatoes?

LB: Oh Dean! Your feet smell interesting! Giggle giggle (touches Dean's big toe) Oh Dean! You have a nose! Giggle giggle (rubs Dean's nose) Oh Dean! You have hair coming out of your ears! Giggle giggle (pulls Dean's earlobe)

9:27pm

Dean didn't even stop her from flirting with him. He didn't say, "Sorry, I have a girlfriend." Does he actually like her? What does Lavender have that I don't have?

Where's that padded bra?

8:14am

Told Trill (Jas had gone to take a shower) what happened last night. She gave me some "great" advice.

TM: What did I tell you? Put on that padded bra! Grab your high heels! Slip on your mini-skirt and snog some handsome seventh year! (She sounds like Mad-Eye Moody, except he yells about Constant Vigilence, instead of high heels.)

Me: But those are muggle clothes, Trill. I don't have any of those. Anyways it's a bit over the top.

TM: Suit yourself, but—Oh shoot, Ginny! You've made me late for potions.

Me: We don't have Potions until after lunch…

TM: No! Not my Potion's class. It's Derek's Potions class. You know, that cute Ravenclaw sixth year? I've been 'bumping into him' a lot lately. I think he might actually be starting to notice me… That's it Ginny! Potions!

Me: Love potions aren't allowed here. And besides, how are you going to slip it into Derek's juice without him noticing?

TM: Not love potions, silly. That attraction potion Fred and George gave you. What was it, Allure Serum, or something like that? Anyway, why don't you use that? Now I really have to go! Don't want to miss Merek. I mean, My Derek. No! Derek! (blushes profoundly)

That's rubbish. The Attraction Potion will probably just make my eyebrows fall off.

Ack. Forgot my Standard Book of Spells in the Great Hall. Better go get it.

8:25am

Saw Dean and Lavender-The-Boyfriend-Stealer walking down to breakfast together. She was laughing hysterically at something Dean said. Since when has Dean been hysterically funny? And it's not like they were doing homework together now! Unless they are supposed to be researching the side effects of laughing hysterically at non-funny things!

8:27am

You know, I may as well drink a couple of drops. My eyebrows are a bit bushy anyway.

8:28am

You know, it tastes quite good. Maybe a couple more drops.

8:30am

Tastes delicious! Perhaps even better than Mollywobbles' meatballs!

8:33am

How did that bottle get empty so quickly?

8:34am

Maybe shouldn't have drunk entire bottle. Feel a bit dizzy now. Will lie down for few minutes.

8:44am

Where did the green rabbits come from? And why are the Uranus Moon Hoppers so mad at them?

8:46am

Oh no! It's five years until class starts! I've got to get there! Professor Treehorny will be so mad if I don't get to Divititatitation! Divititatitation! Divititatitation!

8:56am

Feel so much better after that little lie-down. Had this very strange dream about Uranus Moon Hoppers. Well, better be off to class.

12:05pm

Stupid potion. Not only did it make me feel all woozy, but it does nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. Dean didn't look at me any differently and no one commented at all. And I had another huge essay assigned. Stupid Trillium and her advice. Will talk to Jasmine.

12:37pm

Talked to Jasmine. Feel so much better. She usually makes a lot more sense than Trill. Jas suggests I go out on a walk with Dean and talk things over. I can tell him that I feel hurt how he doesn't pay enough attention to me, and use "I-statements" so he doesn't feel pressurized.

5:42pm

Professor Slughorn was being especially nice to me; he awarded me ten house points for a question any Bum Giggle Giggle could answer. He must really want me to come to one of his little "parties".

Jasmine's sulking on her bed right now because she thinks that nobody notices her. (Odylia recommends channeling. I agree. No one can ignore someone going "Hummm…" and breathing loudly.)

Me: Hey, Jas. Harry just put up a notice saying the Quidditch tryouts are on Friday.

JB: Great! I was thinking of trying out. I mean, practically everyone else in my family is good at Quidditch. My Dad's a Chaser for the Tornadoes, Katie's on the Gryffindor team, and even my brother Geoffrey plays Keeper for the Hufflepuff's team. So maybe—Ouch! (Random Ravenclaw Boy walks into Jas)

Random Ravenclaw: (Sighs) Hi Ginny! How's it going?(Stares for prolonged period of time)

Me: (Long pause) Hi… (walks away quickly)

Maybe the attraction potion does work. Poor Jasmine though. Still moping. Time to go down to dinner. Will ask Dean to go for walk.

6:39pm

Going for the walk with Dean in a mo. He seemed quite overexcited when I asked him. Instead of just a simple 'Yes' it was more of a 'YES!'.

As a plus, everyone seemed to want to pass me the potatoes at dinner.

7:15pm

Just came from back from walk (not strictly just a "walk" of course…) with Dean! Had brill time. Talked to him about Lavender. He says he would never like Lavender, she's way too 'giggly' for him, and my hair looks v. nice today. He wasn't actually flirting, he actually felt quite uncomfortable. I guess I have an overactive imagination. So all in all, everything's alright now.
