The Diaries of Seventh Year Hogwarts Students

By: MariaWeasley5106

Chapter 2: September

Harry-September 4-Potions

Professor Slughorn is letting us use the class period to write in our journals. He did however make it an assignment; we have to write about our fears. There is one word that I fear and that word is death. I have encountered it quite a bit in the last few years. All the deaths however are somehow associated with Voldemort, and me. This caused innocent people to die, because of me. When I was a year old, Voldemort personally came to my house and killed my mum and dad. When he tried to kill me, the curse backfired and hit him instead. I was left with this horrible scar. Then when I was fourteen, an imposter of Mad-Eye Moody, entered my name into the Triwizard Tournament. Cedric Diggory and I were the two Hogwarts champions, and we both grabbed the Triwizard Cup at the same time. Little did we know that the cup was a portkey, and it cause me and him to end up in a graveyard. Cedric was murdered by Peter Pettigrew. Then a year later, I had a weird dream that had my godfather, Sirius Black, being tortured. So, we went to save him, but he wasn't there. Then when he arrived he was fighting Bellatrix Lestrange, his cousin. She ended up murdering Sirius. All of this happened because of me. I wish that life was normal. I am sick of people thinking I am crazy. I am sick of people feeling sorry for me. I am sick of being stared at, and the whispers that follow. I am sick of Voldemort. I am sick of thinking about my fate and if I am going to live or die. I don't want to die, I want to survive seventh year, and graduate. I want to become an Auror, and be around with my friends. I also want to go out with Ginny Weasley. I have to go to Defense Against the Dark Arts now.

Ron-Potions

I don't know if I should be excited or not, all I do however know that potions is dedicated to writing. I have two fears: 1) Spiders and 2) Asking Hermione Granger out. You probably see the first fear as common, but the second one is a little crazy. I mean I don't think it is a fear; it is more of insecurity. I have been friends with Hermione for almost seven years, and I still get nervous. I mean it can't be noticeable because Harry hasn't said anything about it to me yet. I would ask her out, but whenever I do something happens. I screw up. I know I can ask other girls out, I mean I went out with Lavender Brown, which was a mistake. For example, fourth year, we had the Yule Ball, and I wanted to ask Hermione but I couldn't. then last year Slughorn held one of his fancy parties, and she asked me and then I got in a fight with her about kissing. Now I am a seventh year and I am going to ask Hermione granger out. I don't know when, but it will be soon. Bell is about to ring.

Hermione-Potions

Something that I fear is the loss of my two best friends, Harry and Ron. I am afraid that Harry won't graduate from Hogwarts, because he won't survive Voldemort, even though I know he can. I fear for Ron because he is a faithful friend, and won't leave Harry's side. I also fear I won't have a chance to tell Ron, I love him. I am also afraid of dying, but I am more afraid of losing everybody important to me. Then I am left all along, with nobody but people I despise or don't know. You may wonder why this is a major fear. Ever since primary school I had no friends, all I had were my books and besides who wanted to be friends with some freak. Apparently one incident labels you a freak forever. I was about six or seven, and I had a few odd things happen in the past. On this particular day, I ended up turning the class bully into a pig. I was labeled. A freak. I don't know how I did it or what happened. Finally I had friends when I was about 12 years old, but I know I always had my books, and that is why I am so smart. I pushed myself to excel in school. Class is over.

Ron-September 9-Gryffindor Common Room

Well tonight I have rounds with Hermione, because we are head boy/girl. I am thinking about asking Hermione out. Should I go for it? But I am not going to tell Harry and I have no one to ask. Hermione is calling me. I will ask her out. Bye.

Later that night

So, I just got done rounds, and Hermione went to bed. So Hermione and I did rounds together tonight, which was perfect. So, we did quite a bit of talking, and about a half hour into rounds it got quiet. So I decided to ask.

Me: Hermione would you go out with me?

Hermione: Yes.

Me and Hermione: We can't tell Harry though, yet.

Hermione: So I guess we will be secretive about this.

Me: Yeah.

Then we finished rounds holding hands and talking. Night.

Hermione-Girl's dorm

I just said good night to Ron after rounds. Ron and I are going out finally! He asked me during rounds and we decided we would keep it a secret from Harry. After that we held hands and continued talking. I am really tired and excited. Good night.

Harry-September 10-Great Hall

So last night after Ron and Hermione left for rounds, I got a letter from Dumbledore. The letter was telling me that we were having a meeting tonight. I haven't told Ron and Hermione yet. Ron made me leave without him and I couldn't find Hermione. I wonder what is up with them. There she is with Ron. Hermione is always ready before me and Ron; I wonder why she was late. Ron is never late for a meal, either. Odd. They seem to be awfully nice to each other also. I hope they aren't doing it for my sake, again. I am going to tell them about my meeting tonight.

Later that day-Defense against the Dark Arts

Something is really up between Ron and Hermione. Hmm. They haven't fought all day, and I keep catching them staring at each other. Ron has been late to two meals today and had two different excuses, same with Hermione. I will find out soon enough. Anyways I am bored about reading about spells, I already know. Tonks made me sit out because I was beating everybody and was breaking shield charms….so I guess no jinxing for me today. I am getting yelled at. Bye.

Harry-September 11-Transfiguration

So last night I had a meeting with Dumbledore and we talked. We tried to figure out who R.A.B was and where the real necklace maybe. I remembered seeing a locket in Grimmuald place when we were cleaning it out. It wouldn't open. Dumbledore said he will go and look, then bring it back so we could both open it. He then told me I was not allowed to leave school with him, because I need the schooling. So then I left. When I told Ron and Hermione, I got a lecture from Hermione. So I flipped out at her. I can't believe she actually agreed with Dumbledore.

Hermione-September 19-Girl's Dorm

So it is my birthday today and I am really excited. Ron and I still haven't told Harry about 'us.' He did however meet with Dumbledore a few nights ago. It turns out that Dumbledore is looking for horocruxes, and wants Harry to stay in school. It wasn't what Harry wanted to hear however. Harry wants to go and find these horocruxes, especially since he believes he is wasting his time here at school. I think that was a good decision on Dumbledore's part. Harry needs to learn his magic because he needs to be prepared for a job after Hogwarts and the defeat of Voldemort. Harry however did not like me telling him this, and flipped out. "Hermione, that's just it. I am not going to survive, will you please, stop thinking that!" is what he shouted and then stormed out of the common room. I broke down and Ron comforted me.

Ron-Transfiguration

So today turned out well. Hermione liked the necklace. What was really interesting was how Harry made me choose between him and Hermione. I couldn't choose. There is no way I could choose whose side to take in an argument, over some stupid potions assignment. I have to go meet Hermione.

Harry-September 20-Boy's Dorm

I wondered where Ron was heading last night, because it was 7:30 and I know he had not plans. After he left Hermione, left also, so I decided I needed to spy. I got my map and found Hermione and Ron together. So I got my invisibility cloak, and headed towards them. It turns out that they were snogging in an empty classroom. They are apparently going out. Why didn't they tell me? When I asked, Hermione's answer was because we didn't want you to worry.

Hermione-Potions

So Harry knows about me and Ron. He caught us snogging last night, and he questioned. We ended up having a fight, because we didn't tell him. He said he wouldn't have worried he would have been happy for us. I personally don't blame him for flipping out at us. I mean I would want to know. Now we aren't talking to each other. What a great day! I am under so much stress. I am tired of listening to the voice in my head that keeps telling me everything is going wrong, but I know it is true.

Harry-September 29-Boy's Dorm

Okay, nothing much has happened lately especially since the whole Ron and Hermione dating thing. I still can't believe that was the reason. They didn't want to burden me, please. I am afraid we won't be talking for a while. Seriously why in the hell would they not tell me? What burdens me, is that my friends won't let me share in their happiness and that they were sneaking around. I haven't talked to them in a long. I wish I was normal.

Author's note: I am so sorry that this took me forever to write and update. I had servere writer's block, and I got a few ideas while daydreaming in social studies. Anyways, I am hoping to start working on the third chapter soon. The third chapter will have a little bit more Ron. I promise.

Answers to your questions:

1) Does this come after HBP or is it non-compatible?

This book is sorta compatible to HBP. There are parts that are and parts that aren't.

2)Wouldn't Hermione be 17 (almost 18)?

Okay in my response I lied. My mistake. I checked it out on and in the books and it turns out that yes she is 18...like i said my fault. I didn't check my sources.
