September 8th, 8:00am, Great Hall
Weekend was fairly boring. We did so much homework, my head is still spinning. Stupid teachers.
Oh, and the Hogsmeade trip got cancelled because some idiot decided to stupefy the owner of Honeydukes, making all the teachers paranoid.
We are now going to Hogsmeade on the 5th of October.
8:08am, Great Hall
James just gave Lily a red rose. He said; "My dearest Lily, please take this rose as a token of my affection for you. It is by far, more beautiful than you." Then the stupid prat walked off to sit with his friends.
Lily stared after him with a confused look on her face.
"I think he meant to say that you're more beautiful than the rose," Julez pointed out.
"Yes, well, it was extremely sad of him," Lily said.
8:10am, Great Hall
Lily has just started her infamous 'why I won't date James Potter list'. I'm going to get her to write it down.
TOP TEN REASONS WHY LILY EVANS WILL NOT GO OUT WITH JAMES POTTER (Although there are way more than 10 reasons)
1. He is very self-obsessed.
2. He hexes innocent people for no reason at all.
3. He is a bully.
4. He is extremely up himself.
5. He is a prat.
6. And a git.
7. He does stupid things like kissing my hand and telling me I look 'ravishing'.
8. He is ANNOYING.
9. He is a stalker.
10. He thinks he is just so incredibly good-looking and great.
She tried to write more, but I told her that was plenty.
9:40am, Charms Classroom
Marietta is sitting in front of me, right next to Sirius. She is such a flirt. She keeps touching his arm and giggling, a really high-pitched giggle that hurts my ears. And she keeps tossing her stupid blonde hair everywhere.
Why is she even in Gryffindor?
9:42am, Charms
How can he even like her?
9:43am, Charms
I've read stuff about how love is blind or whatever.
9:45am, Charms
How can he be blind to her good looks?
10:51am, DADA
I hate non-verbal spells. They suck.
Why would we even want to use them? Why not just use a normal verbal spell?
I asked Lily, and she just told me that it was to surprise whoever we were fighting so that we can Avada them and then squash them into little tiny pieces and then chop them up into even smaller pieces and then feed them to the sharks. I noticed that she was glaring at James when she said this.
She has an anger problem. But not as in physical. She would never hit or hex anyone just for the sake of it. She is not a violent person.
But she still has some serious issues.
3:11pm, Gryffindor Common Room
Our potions assignment is coming along marvellously. Me and Sirius are getting along really well. We just walked to the Common Room together.
I don't freeze up around him anymore. I still have my stupid moments, like when I tripped over just now. But I can actually have a conversation with him.
We have lots of things in common. We both like Muggle Studies, we both hate Severus Snape and most of the Slytherins, we have similar tastes in books and we laugh at each other all the time.
TOP TEN REASONS WHY I WANT TO THROW SIRIUS BLACK ONTO MY BED AND JUMP ON TOP OF HIM
1. His hair is so sexy, like how it falls into his eyes and he does that flick of his head thing to get it back into place.
2. His eyes. They're like, a stormy gray. I can almost see right into his soul.
3. He is actually a nice person, apart from when he hexes innocent people.
4. He is funny. He always has something funny to say that will make me laugh and then smile about it all day.
5. He has a sexy body. It's like, all muscular.
6. He is confident, but not arrogant.
7. He is intelligent, without being nerdy.
8. He has great style.
9. He smiles when he sees me. A big smile that makes his eyes light up.
10. He is just perfect, in every way possible.
4:00pm, Gryffindor Common Room
I hate her.
4:01pm, Girls Dormitories
I HATE HER.
4:03pm, Girls Dormitories
She is an incredibly selfish manipulative little cow. And I hope she falls into a toilet.
5:01pm, Great Hall
I am so angry I can barely write. And I can't eat either, I'm too mad for that.
You want to know what she did?
I had just finished my Potions homework (which was five pages and took me all morning, break, lunch and all my free periods to complete). And I was just sitting there innocently looking around the common room, when Marietta walked up to me.
And then. THEN she poured her ink all over my homework, getting quite a bit on me. She hissed; "Stay away from my boyfriend", and then walked off.
HOW DARE SHE. THAT STUPID COW. SIRIUS DOES NOT BELONG TO HER. THEY AREN'T EVEN OFFICIALLY GOING OUT YET.
AND I WORKED REALLY HARD ON THAT POTIONS ESSAY.
And now she's sitting with him, clutching his arm and practically sitting on his lap. He doesn't seem to be paying her much attention though. He is talking to his friends. But still.
Oh stuff it, I'm going to eat a potato.
6:02pm, Girls Dormitories
That was way too embarrassing. What is wrong with me?
IT WAS JUST A SPIDER.
A spider in my dinner. Well, wouldn't you of freaked out as well?
So I was just innocently eating my potatoes when all of a sudden, a spider scuttled across my plate. And since I have a very extreme phobia of spiders, I screamed and jumped about ten feet in the air. Unfortunately, as I was still sitting down, I had done the jump in my chair. Then I attempted to get out of my seat and ended up tripping and falling backwards onto the floor. To the great amusement of everyone.
But then, Sirius came over to me and offered me his hand. Again. Which I took gratefully. Then he asked if I was all right and I said yes I was. And then he goes; "Don't worry, I'm scared of spiders too." Then he smiled at me and walked back to his seat.
Everyone was laughing and pointing at me. They will never let me live this down.
I AM SO MORTIFIED.
7:12pm, Gryffindor Common Room
Just finished all my homework. Which is a huge relief. Julez is still stuck on her Transfiguration essay. HAHA.
That was extremely sadistic of me, wasn't it? Sorry Julez.
7:33pm, Common Room
He is just so incredibly sexy. And I would love nothing more than to throw him onto my bed and rip his clothes off.
Lily just saw that last entry and told me I was obsessed with him.
I am not obsessed with Sirius Black. I am in love with Sirius Black. There's a difference.
Julez calls it an 'infatuation'.
Wednesday, 10th September, 9:59pm, Girls Bathroom
I am currently sitting in the bathroom on the third floor. In a cubicle with the door closed. And no, I am not actually on the toilet. As in, doing my 'business'.
It is ten days into the term and I am already falling behind in Defence Against the Dark Arts. It's usually my best subject. But since we are doing non-verbal spells, well I can't do them at all. So I am basically failing. Professor Smidget pulled me aside after Transfiguration today and told me that she was concerned about how I was going. And then she suggested I get a tutor. Preferably, Remus Lupin. And then she asked him and he said yes.
There are two upsides to this. Number 1, I will be able to suss out whether or not he likes Julez and then report back to her and hopefully she will then go out with him and stop complaining about her love life. And Number 2, I could make friends with Remus. And then I could become even closer to Sirius. And besides, it's a well-known fact that guys like it when their girlfriends (or whatever) get on with their friends.
THANK YOU PROFESSOR SMIDGET.
10:03pm, Girls Bathroom
I have just realised that now it seems like I am using Remus for the sake of getting with Sirius. Which I am so not. I am not that mean. Actually, I am quite nice. Like, I'm always trying to find the good in people. Anyway, I am sure that Remus is a very nice person. Well, he seems to be from what I've seen of him.
10:06pm, Still in Girls Bathroom
This isn't happening. This cannot be happening. WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?
Okay, so I went to get out of the toilet cubicle, when I found that the door was stuck. I am not even kidding. THE BLOODY DOOR IS STUCK. I AM LOCKED IN A TOILET CUBICLE WITH NO WAY OF GETTING OUT. Oh please please, let someone walk in. Please.
10:10pm
The door is still stuck.
10:12pm
I am hungry. I would kill for some potatoes right now.
And yes, I have an obsession with potatoes.
10:19pm
Hi-ho, hi-ho, I'm stuck in a toilet…um…cell!
10:21pm
I bet everyone is wondering where I am. This is so humiliating. I LOCKED MYSELF IN A TOILET FOR CHRISTS' SAKE.
10:32pm
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
10:42pm
I am going insane. Sometime later, they will open the door to the cubicle and find me sitting on the floor with my legs pulled up to my chest rocking back and forth and whispering repeatedly, 'they're coming for me.' And random bursts of, 'POTATOES!'
10:45pm
I tried banging on the door and screaming, 'HELP'. For about the one-millionth time. And the funny thing is, I am not even exaggerating.
10:49pm
Almost an hour I have been in here. You might want to know why I went to the bathroom at 10pm. I can't believe I haven't told you yet.
I was up in the dormitories, happily chatting to Lily and Julez, when I remembered that I had left my potions textbook in the bathroom. THIS BATHROOM. And so stupid me decided to sneak down and get it.
I told Lily and Julez to go for help if I didn't come back in an hour.
Then I needed to go to the toilet. So I did. AFTER THAT FIRST ENTRY I MADE IN THE BATHROOM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I hope they haven't told anyone. I hope it's just the two of them that are going to come.
10:51pm
At least I have my potions book back.
10:54pm
I will be trapped in here forever. No one will ever find me. I will be stuck here in this toilet cubicle until the dinosaurs come back to life.
10:59pm
Ohmygod.
Guess what I just realised?
MOANING MYRTLE DIED IN A BATHROOM!
Oh god, what if that happens to me? What if I get locked in this bathroom forever and die?
11:03pm
How did she even die?
Maybe she went insane and drowned herself in the toilet.
Or she could have starved to death.
Maybe she tripped and fell down the toilet.
Or bashed her head against the wall and cracked her head open.
Or had a heart attack.
Oh help. I'm scared now.
11:06pm
I bet I'll end up dying here somehow. And then my ghost will haunt this bathroom forever. Me and Myrtle will probably terrorise the living and moan about death together.
Or do whatever it is that ghosts do.
Well, hopefully I won't go insane and drown myself in the toilet.
Ditto about tripping and falling down the toilet.
11:11pm
If I die here in this toilet cubicle and someone finds this diary, please burn it straight away.
And then give all of my possessions to Julez, Lily, Angela, Micheal, and my parents.
11:16pm
Please don't let me die in here.
Or be stuck in here for days on end.
I think it will be too much for my poor little head.
10:57pm
Ohmygod.
I HEAR FOOTSTEPS.
1:05am, Girls Dormitories
I am even more humiliated than I was about the spider in my dinner and falling off my chair. I AM SUCH A LOSER.
It turned out that the footsteps were not my imagination. They were real. So I started banging on the door and yelling, "HELP!" Then I heard the bathroom door swing open and a voice go; "Um, hello?"
So I'm like, "Help me! The toilet door is jammed! I can't get out!"
And then, I heard a laugh. A laugh I recognised. And I realised that it was none other than Sirius Black.
"Is that you, Evelyn?" I heard him ask in between snorts of laughter.
"Uh, yeah," I said. "Sirius?"
"Yeah," he answered. "Are you seriously locked in the toilet?" And then he laughed again.
"Shut up," I grumbled. "Can you please help me get out?"
"You can get out yourself, you know," Sirius said. "Number one, you have a wand. And number two, you can crawl under the door."
And sure enough, he was right. Blushing furiously, I opted for the much safer option of crawling under the door. I got to my feet, avoiding his gaze, silently cursing myself.
"I'm claustrophobic," I said, trying to defend myself so I didn't sound like a total nook. "I was so scared in there that I couldn't think straight."
"Sure, whatever you say," He laughed, winking at me.
And then my stomach grumbled. I clutched it, grimacing.
"All that freaking out made you hungry, did it?" he asked.
"Yeah, pretty much," I answered.
"Well, let me take you to the kitchens so you can get something to eat," he said.
And then I go; "Um, okay."
So we walked in silence down a few flights of stairs and corridors until we reached the kitchens. There was a brown wooden door with a big bowl of fruit on it. Sirius reached up and tickled the pear. It giggled, moving slightly and then turned into a doorknob. Amazing.
Then we went into the kitchen, where all the house elves were rushing around busily. Sirius told them we wanted food and they almost fainted with delight. They scurried away and came back with a huge plate of food.
So we sat down to eat. I stuffed myself with potatoes. Sirius enquired as to why I didn't want to eat the chicken and I told him I was a vegetarian. He seemed surprised, but very interested. So then we spent the whole time discussing animal rights.
After we had eaten, we thanked the house elves and then proceeded to make our way back to Gryffindor Tower. We were about halfway there, when all of a sudden Sirius grabbed me and pulled me behind a pillar. He was awfully close to me, his body pressed right up against mine, all tense. I could feel his muscles and smell his cologne. It smelt really good. I was practically fainting at this point, and then he whispered; "It's safe now." And then we went back to Gryffindor Tower without any further mishaps.
As we neared the portrait, Lily and Julez came rushing out. On seeing us, they stopped in their tracks and stood there, fidgeting nervously.
Finally, Julez spoke up. "We're really sorry, Evelyn, but we…er…kinda fell asleep after you left."
"And we only woke up just now," Lily added.
"Thanks a lot guys," I said sarcastically. "I could have been stuck in the toilet until the dinosaurs came back to life."
Sirius looked at me strangely, and Julez and Lily burst out laughing.
"You were stuck in a toilet?" Julez gasped, clutching her sides. "Hahahahaha."
It wasn't that funny. Honestly.
But I just had the best night of my life. And I am now more in love with Sirius Black than I ever was. Sigh.
And it's all thanks to stupid me getting stuck in the toilet. But at least something good came out of it. I just cannot believe that my so-called friends fell asleep.
Speaking of sleep, I have just realised that I am exhausted. I am going to go to bed now.
Nighty night.
-Evelyn-
1:30pm
I have just realised that my shirt smells like Sirius. His nice cologney smell mixed with the scent of cinnamon. Sigh. I am keeping it forever. I will never wash it again.
1:32pm
I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I GOT STUCK IN A TOILET AND DIDN'T REALISE THAT I COULD USE MY WAND OR CRAWL UNDER THE DOOR!
I hate myself sometimes.
A/N: REVIEW and get cookies. :)
Oh, and thanks so much to those of you who took the time to review. :)
