1Things Are Actually Starting to Look Up

November 10

So, as you can see I am still alive. I made it past the dragon in one piece and not only that I got my best friend back. Things are actually starting to look up-finally. We had a crazy party in the common room after the task. I actually noticed Hermione and Ron dancing with each other -he should really tell her. Although that wasn't even the oddest part of the whole gathering. I couldn't help but notice how much Fred was watching Hermione, I wonder what's going on there. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find out eventually, right now all I care about is continuing on this good streak. Hermione keeps bugging me about the egg, which I've only had for two days and I don't even need to have it figured out til like February.

There's something I have to say before my heart bursts- I think I'm falling for Ginny Weasley. I never thought this would happen but it is. I mean since Ron hasn't been around lately I've had to find other people to hang out with. Hermione wasn't even really an option since between all of her classes she only seems to be spending time with Fred (like I said I have no idea what's going on there but I'm hoping to find out). And Ginny started saving me a seat at dinner and I never have to talk about the task or fighting Voldemort, with Ginny I can just be myself. With her I actually feel normal- I don't feel like the Boy Who Lived, I can just be Harry. And let me tell you I like being myself...especially when Ginny's around.

Now I can breath a sigh of relief, I have confessed my feelings...but now what do I do? I don't think Ron would handle it well so he's definitely out of the question. There's Hermione, I've never talked to her about this sort of thing but she's a girl, she has to be good at things like this. Yeah I think I'll talk to Hermione about it. She always gives me good advice and maybe she knows if Ginny likes me back. Yeah, definitely Hermione.

Well, now that I've taken care of all this I need to go find Hermione...and do lots and lots of homework, this is going to be a long night.
