Dear Diary,
Cedric and I went to Hogsmeade the weekend before the first task. Cedric is understandably nervous. I wish I could tell him what to expect but then I'd have to explain how I know. The only thing I could do is get his mind off it for awhile. We went to Honeydukes first where Cedric figured out we shared a mutual sweet tooth we had so much fun going through the different kinds of sweets; tons of chocolate, toffees, nougat. There were also special ones like bubble gum that feels a room full with bubbles that are hard to pop and sugar quills that you can suck on during class, and so much more. We bought a little of almost everything. Some things I wouldn't try like cockroach clusters and lollipops that advertised blood flavored. By the time we were done we had a large bag each and wasted two whole hours. We went to Zonkos after that were I bought a few dung bombs to use on my sisters later. By then my legs were killing me so we went to the Three Broomsticks were I had Butterbeer for the first time, it was very good. We met up with some of his friends and we spent a great time just talking, they decided to enlighten me about Cedric so they spent a whole hour telling me outrageous stories about Cedric. They took great pleasure in telling me about the time he setoff some fireworks in some Slytherins caldron causing it to explode all over my dad turning his hair purple. I laughed so hard imagining my dad with purple hair. Granger was there also sitting alone which is weird she's usually with Potter and the little Weasley boy. On our way back to the castle Cedric held my hand it was great. I took a little liberty and looked at our cord it was much thicker then that first time I'm so happy.
