Dearest Diary

December 17, 1968

I know I haven't written to you in so long. Since the first day of first year to be exact. I can't believe how fast time has gone. I'm in third year now, and it's the best. I didn't write for over 2 years because well I lost you, but everything is fine now, because I found you. So the reason I am writing is because a couple of days ago a boy asked me to go with him to Hogsmead. I've seen him around school before, but I've never talked to him. He is really good looking, and he is in Slytherin. Thank god, could you image if I fell for someone in Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or even the horrible Gryffindor. I wrote in my last entry that Hufflepuff was the worst house, but I was wrong. What I mean is I said that I wouldn't want to be in Hufflepuff because it was the worst house, that is still true, but the worst people are in Gryffindor. The scum balls. They are always so sure of themselves and they will do anything to make them look better. So back to my date. Well I was walking down the corridor with my 4 dorm mates and best friends and I heard someone calling my name. I stopped and told my friends to continue on and I would meet them in the common room. So I walked back to the person who was calling my name and I was like, what do you need? I never noticed it before, but he was really good looking, and I mean really. So he didn't say anything and I said, I'm waiting and finally he said so smoothly, do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me? I thought what the hell and said sure, why not. He then said he would meet me in the common room at 10:00. We said goodbye and then he turned around and headed back up the stairs to the Entrance Hall and I walked towards the common room. Once safely in my dorm I flopped on my bed, put my head in my pillow and started to scream. I was so happy, because all of my friends had been going with different guys and I wasn't, so I felt really out of place with them when they were with their guys. Now I would have my own guy. I guess my pillow didn't muffle the sound as well as it should because my 4 friends came running in and cried in unison, what's wrong? I looked up at them and said, nothing. The walked in farther and sat down on their beds. Nothing is it, well why are you screaming? One asked. The pried for awhile longer and finally I gave in. I told them the whole story which wasn't really long, but oh well. So after that we just sat around and talked about how great the rest of the year was going to be with us all having boyfriends and all.

So finally it was this morning. I couldn't wait, the past few days seemed like time had stopped, but finally it was time. I woke up early and was the first one in the shower, and then I started to route through my trunk trying to find my black leather mini that I bought during the last Hogsmeade trip. My parents didn't know about it because if they did it would no longer be in my possession. So I put it on, and by that time the other girls started to stir. One by one they woke up and got up. So then I started to look for a top. The top I had in mind was a red knit turtle neck sweater, but it wasn't really all that red, more of a rosie colour, and the turtle neck didn't go up my neck, it looped down below my collarbone. I had everything out of my trunk and I still couldn't find it. I then turned and said to one of my friends, where is my red knit turtle neck sweater? She turned to and rummage through her trunk and then she pulled out my sweater. I ran and grabbed it and demanded to know why it was in her trunk. She muttered something and I said what was that? She then repeated a bit louder, I borrowed it a couple of days ago when I had that date. I screamed, you could have asked me you know. She sheepishly said, sorry. I walked back over to my bed and pulled my PJ t-shirt off, but my bra that makes my breast look amazing on and then pulled my sweater on. Then I started to look under my bed for my black boots. I found them finally. I have so many pairs of shoes under my bed, but these ones are the best. I sat down on my bed and was about to put them on when one of the girls walked out of the bathroom and said, my, my you are going to be so cold. I replied by saying, well if I'm cold than I'll just snuggle closer to him. Everyone laughed and then I looked at my watch. I jumped up and zipped up the boots. They were black, leather if you must know and they had a 3 inch spike heel. They hugged my leg and zipped up to my knee. Stunning, they all said. Thanks girls, I then walked over to my mirror and pulled out my wand. I tried my hair and then tried about 50 different hairstyles, finally deciding on just leaving it down, but putting a wave through it. Finally I was ready. I grabbed my black purse, leather again and walked towards the door. By girls I said. I waved and then walked out the door. The last thing I saw was all 4 of them staring at me with their mouths open, so I turned around and said, need some help picking your jaws off the flour? That closed their mouths pretty fast. I walked out the door again and heard them all saying, she looks amazing. I wish I looked like her. Yeah I know, she looks so hot, I can't believe she doesn't have a guy, everyone's crazy. I know, but she hasn't dressed up like that ever at Hogwarts, so nobody has seen what she has if you know what I mean. Yeah I know. She will have every guy in Hogwarts after her now. So true.

I walked into the Entrance Hall and saw him standing by the Great Oak Doors. I walked over to him and held out my hand. He took it and we walked over and got signed out, then we walked down the steps and across the ground. Finally we arrived in Hogsmeade. He asked me where I wanted to go and I said, up to you. We walked over to the Three Broomsticks. He led me to a table that was relatively hidden from the rest of the bar. He walked over to the bar and got two Butterbeers and then walked back and gave one to me. We sat and drank and talked. I don't know how long we were there, but it was probably a long time, even though it felt so short. I could talk so easily with him. All my friends say how much trouble they have talking to guys, but I didn't find that. We stood up and he took my hand and we walked out to the street. He asked me if I needed to do any more Christmas shopping, and I said I was pretty sure I was done, but then I realized I hadn't got him anything so I said, I had one more thing to get him. I asked him if he would mind if I met up with him again in 10 minutes. He said it was no problem because he had a couple more things to get. So we agreed to meet up in 15 minutes in the same spot. We split and I ran into the shop and went and grabbed the thing. I had no trouble finding it because the last time I was in here I saw it and thought what a great gift it would be for a boyfriend that I didn't have at the time. I walked up to the cashier and paid her and she asked me if I needed it wrapped. I said I wanted to do it, but nobody could see it. She handed me a bag and said that I could but it in there until I had time to wrap it. Finally I was done. I walked out of the store and walked over to him. I apologized about keeping him waiting and he said no problem. We started to walk back to Hogwarts. Finally we were outside the entrance to the common room. I stood with my back against the wall and he said, did I tell you how amazing you look? I laughed and said, 3 times. He then laughed and said how he had such a great time. That was when I was lost for words. I just nodded. He asked me if I would like to do it again? I nodded again. I think why I couldn't talk was because I knew what was coming. He leaned over and gave me a peck on the cheek, well it was supposed to be my cheek, but at that exact moment I decided to turn my head and it ended up on my lips. Sorry he said and I said that there was no harm done. I had a great time Narcissa. Me to Lucius, I said.

So that was my first date….
