Prologue - Diary Entry Number One
"We called off the engagement, Ginny."
"Did you? Honestly?"
I had no other way to answer, except to nod; it hurts to tell one of your best friends that you called off the engagement to one of her brothers. Seriously, what would you have done in a situation like that?
"Did you fine anyone else, Hermione?"
"Nope, no one yet." It wasn't like I was going to say I was having an affair with (the) Draco Malfoy, Slytherin sex God, and I just had to deny the fact that I was falling in love with Draco, on top of that.
"You all right, Hermione?" Ginny asked me, and I blinked, realizing I shook my head in response. "You want to tell me what's wrong? I'll keep your secrets; it's not like you work at a whorehouse…" I raised my brow nervously, but bowed my head. "Blimey! You work at a whorehouse!"
"I had an affair with Malfoy!" I finally blurted out to Ginny, but softly.
"Hermione?"
"Mhmm?"
"You didn't –"
"I'm still a virgin, if that's what you were asking about, Ginny. Even if I did cheat on Ronald, I don't regret it at all."
"You don't? I mean, I know that you used to gush about Ron… but, what happened?"
What was I supposed to do? Tell Ginny that I had stopped gushing over Ronald because he became a 'de-virginizer', in the same room as me – his girlfriend, at that time.
"Well, Ginny, you can blame not only Ronald, but his new girlfriend: Pansy Parkinson." I muttered over to her, inhaling sharply, and blinking with my head turned away.
"Pansy? Ron is dating Pansy!"
"Yeah; I have to leave soon, Ginny."
"Going out tonight?"
"Yeah,"
"With Draco?"
"Mhmm,"
"Have fun, Hermione."
"Thanks, Ginny." And she hugged me; I left.
