Dorm

Still Tuesday

6.30 p.m.

Ooh. Edith has invited Nat and me to a party that her parents are having. I guess it's not a proper party since we will definitely not be hanging round with the adults and that means that there will only be a few of us. And most teens tend not to go to parties that their parents will be attending… but they'll be pissed anyway so who cares?

Plus, why would I want to go to one of those parties that I've heard Lauren talking about. Like I'd actually enjoy one of those! I mean, how are you supposed to crazy dance with your friends when you've got someone like Wendy Thompson watching you… and judging you… Wendy's nice enough, but she is so not the type of person you'd want to make a fool out of yourself in front of. Not to mention the many lads that would be surrounding her.

But then, it's not like we'd be invited to a party like that anyway.

What I'd like to know is just how they work. I mean, they could only have them during the hols and if the pupils go home for them then they'll all be scattered across the whole of Britain. So what do they do? Travel all the way across the country just to get there? Or is it just the people who live nearby?

Whatever.

So yeah, we're going to this party then spending the rest of the hols at Edith's.

Mum won't mind since it's after Crimbo, so I'll be home for that (so she can just get drunk and ignore me). I just sent her an owl telling her the great news so it's all set. Soon we'll be partying like party animals!

And do you know what the best bit is?

Josh will be there!!!!!

Edith said that Lisa (her sister) invited him. I guess it pays for your crush to be going out with your best mate's sister, of all people.

It also pays for your crush to be single and madly in love with you, but I guess you can't have everything. And while he currently doesn't know I exist, it'll have to do.

Anyway, this party is the perfect excuse for us to meet. And when we do he'll fall head over heels for me. It's destiny. I mean, I can't be expected to drive that spaceship on my own, can I? Ha! As if!

Wednesday 15th December

Dorm

4.15 p.m.

I've decided once and for all that something needs to be done about James, Sirius and Remus. I am really fed up of this now. Practically the whole of sixth year and all of Gryffindor know that I am 'the object of James' affections' (ha! More like 'the object of James' humiliating pranks'!). And, quite frankly, I think that means that this has gone too far.

Only what can I do about it? I've asked Nat and Edith but they just told me not to make such a big deal out of it since it's only a joke. Well that's easy for them to say, they're not the ones James and his mates are making a fool out of. Can you believe that they actually think this is funny? Yeah, it is so not.

So, getting back to my original point, what can I do?

……

………

I can't think of anything!!!!!!!!!!

Right, that's it. I'm going to stop writing and sulk until someone notices I'm alive and offers to help me.

Starting from now.

4.25 p.m.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!?!?!?!?!?!

It's like none of them even know I'm alive! Which would be perfectly acceptable if it weren't for the fact that the people in question are my BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!

God, I am so pathetic.

Thursday 16th December

Transfiguration

This is getting old now.

I mean, you'd think that a simple prank would stop being funny after two days. But apparently not.

Right, I've decided that this is getting so sad that I'm just going to have to ignore it.

From now on I will not let James Potter annoy me.

Not one bit.

La la la!!!

Still transfiguration

WHY WON'T THEY JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!?!?!?!

Oh, God, I think James just looked at what I was writing. If the smirk on his face is any indication. Can this day get anymore embarrassing?

Note to self: when writing in this diary do not leave it in full view of the person you are writing about.

Well, actually, that was an exaggeration I was trying to hide it. I mean, this diary is secret; I don't go around advertising it to people. But I need to make sure that people don't think they can get away with looking over my shoulder while I'm writing in it.

I guess the best way to do that would be to stop writing in it in front of people. I should probably do that.

Like now.

Dorm

7.30 p.m.

Only one more day to go until I'm free!!!

La di da!

A/N: Sorry if that chapter was boring. And way too short. I just wanted to get this chapter posted today and I don't have time to write more right now. I've got a lot of art homework to do since I was off school last week and now I'm behind. So yeah, now I have to abandon my story to draw animal prints on strips of paper. So not a good task to give to someone with an attention span as short as mine.

Now to thank my reviewers…

RebelWriter: Aww I wouldn't neglect you. You're right; I didn't get your review for that chapter. Oh well, at least I know you did review it. And yes, James is being a jerk. Well, he was in the book wasn't he? Not that this follows the books all that much. I don't know about Josh, though. I haven't given him a character yet. I'll have to do that soon…

My Divinest: If I made you crazier than you already are then I apologise. And I trust you are now well informed on who Josh is? Keep reading!

Dress-without-sleeves: Thanks. It would be pretty annoying if it turned out that someone else had done it first. That's happened before to me. Only, with fics that I wanted to write but I wasn't sure whether I was actually going to get round to it.

CountessMel: Noted and understood completely. The poor girl. Thanks for the review.

Potterpunkchick: lol it is indeed amusing. Thanks!

Mello80: Thanks for the review. I'll check out your other story as well when I get a chance to.

Sumrandumperson: Thank you! I guess it's just easier to make it funny when Lily isn't being all serious.

Angel Street: Dude, of course there were Joshes. It's short for Joshua, which is like quite an old name. Well according to my mum anyways… and I guess as someone who was alive in England at that time she's a pretty reliable source. But, anywho, thanks for the positive.

Blink182Rox: Thanks!

Kel: You can say that again. Thanks for the review.

If anyone's got any ideas for stuff that could happen then I'd be glad to hear them. I know how I want the basic storyline to turn out but I'm running out of ideas to put in between them. So if you could help out then I'd be grateful. Oh and if you've got time could you pweeeaase check out my other HP fic The Eternal Search For The Lads' Bathroom? Pretty please with sugar on top? I'll totally love you forever if you do.

Right, now review please!
