Dear Diary,
It's funny how lucky one person can get. Take, for example, my latest stepfather. He managed to avoid being killed by a member of the Order of the Phoenix by the skin of his teeth. If that last curse had been just a fraction closer…. Fortunately nobody knows that he's a Death Eater except a select few, which is good because if he was caught then the fallout would make things difficult to say the least.
Then there was the incident with the exploding cauldron, when it exploded just as he went outside to smoke. If he'd still been in their, he'd have been killed almost instantly. Stupid man should stay away from potions, he's a menace. Obviously a case of impure breeding somewhere along his bloodline, no matter how much he pretends otherwise.
The trouble is that although I've always been able to get almost any girl I want, get them to DO what I want…I'm not even sure I should write this down, but…
I've fallen for a girl. Not the I-want-to-jump-into-bed-with-you-and-make-you-moan type of falling, no THAT I'm used to. No, this is more like the kind of I-want-to-spend-the-rest-of-my-life-with-you type. It's a stupid emotion, one that my mother has made a living off of.
The name of the girl is Mandy Brocklehurst and she HATES me. My charms are wasted on this Ravenclaw siren with long black hair and a perfectly cute button nose. She hates me because I strung her cousin Emma Dobbs along, bedded her and left her broken-hearted. The stupid little 'puff should have known that she was just another diversion, but instead she gets all attached and goes crying to Mandy, the girl I do like. Which is why Mandy hates me.
That and the fact she knows I'm a player. Well with a mum like mine, you tend to get…a little scared of the idea of marriage. Call it a survival instinct. And Mandy's a Ravenclaw, I suspect that she'd be smart enough to be able to do away with me without the slightest hint of suspicion. You can never trust a woman.
To make things worse, that stupid fool of a stepfather has twigged that I like Mandy and tried giving ME advice how to win her over. ME the boy who has managed to seduce a large part of the female population at Hogwarts! How DARE he think that I need help!
He'll die soon enough and when he does, I'll dance on his grave. A girl who can make me feel this way scares me. No, better just to keep my distance and act the player.
