Chapter 10: The End of Ginny's Favorite Season22 August
8:17
There is an itchy red spider bite on my leg.
8:18
It is still in the same place it was a minute ago. Damn. Why didn't it tap dance across my leg to entertain me? I am desperate for entertainment, as you can see. I have resorted to tap dancing spider bites for amusement.
8:25
Mum refuses to curse it off for me.
8:27
THIS ITCHING IS REALLY KILLING ME!
9:03
It is so sad that the only thing I have to write about is my obnoxiously massive spider bite. I am pathetic.
10:39
I burned my hand on the frying pan at breakfast this morning. Why I put my hand on a hot frying pan, I have no idea. Now it has a blister on it to match the one that is still on my big toe. EM #14. When will they stop?
11:41
I can't wait until Hogwarts.
14:53
Ron's worried about his Aparation test. Phlegm was trying to console him, but I don't think it worked since she failed the first time she took it (figures). If you ask me (which nobody did, of course) Ron should be more worried about hurting himself on one of his sleepwalking adventures than Apparation tests.
17:46
More de-gnoming. What a bore. The boys wouldn't let me play their game (again). It's not because I'm a girl (they let Hermione play), so I think it's because I'm the littlest. Honestly, it's not my fault I was born last.
24:35
Just played the de-gnoming game by myself. Ha. I don't need stupid brothers to entertain me. They all betrayed me anyway. Well, excepting Ron.
24:37
Maybe Ron's my new favorite brother. Forget Bill and his darling little Phlegm. Ron's the only one who hasn't betrayed me.
24:43
Never mind. Ron's just like the rest of them. I just went downstairs and heard him talking to Dad about how I've had too many boyfriends. Meh. Sorry I'm 15 bloody years old. So much for my brothers. I wonder if you can divorce your brother.
24:48
I wonder if you can divorce all 6 of them.
24:50
I bet there's no such thing as divorcing 6 brothers at once because I'm the only person in the world who has 6 brothers at once.

8:13
Dreamt last night that Mum dyed her hair black and I woke up in a rather cold sweat.
10:43
Breakfast was uneventful. Harry was staring at me again though!! Perhaps there is a small flicker of hope for me yet. Dad was drilling him on muggle inventions like toaters (these things you grill bread in) and micowafts (these things you heat food in). Dad's a little strange, collecting gulps and such. I've never figured out why he is so interested in ekeltricity, or whatever it's called. But then again, I've never figured out why Snape washes his hair in grease either. Or why McGonagall is such an evil bugger, for that matter.
15:27
I need a nap.
15: 29
Snore.
15:35
I actually feel asleep for about 3 minutes before Pig zoomed through my open window and smashed Kiwi's aquarium to the floor and Kiwi woke up and nearly bit my ear off out of fright. I now have a red toe and a red hand and a red ear. Not to mention the flaming red hair…
17:36
Meep.
24 August

25 August
12:03
7 days till September 1!
16:43
I have nothing to do but look at Harry and listen to Harry and dream of Harry and think about Harry and watch Harry and stare at Harry…quite busy actually.
26 August
5:20
I have been up all night. Literally. It is not a pleasant experience, let me tell you. I was reading the Standard Book of Spells (Grade 5) again and Wuthering Heights and then I stole downstairs and read Ron's copy of the Standard Book of Spells (Grade 6) and then I ate some chocolate and now I'm here. If I don't die from severe lack of sleep in the near future I will have quite a lot of spells memorized (not to mention a headache).
14:08
I am trying hard to take a nap, but it's incredibly hard in a house full of a whopping 12 animals (this includes the people, who are, in fact, technically animals). None of them will shut up, including the owls Errol, Pigwidgeon and Hermes, and even Hedwig. Crookshanks is just being a bitchy cat. Kiwi and I are the only quiet ones today. Come to think of it, we're always the only quiet ones. The only thing that understands me is a blind turtle I don't even know the gender of.
24:35
Good night…I hope.
27 August
1:12
Or not. Why does life hate me? Or does sleep hate me? At this point I really don't care what hates me as long as I can snore.
1:18
The sleep vibes are officially deranged.
1:21
MAWWWWWWW……………………………………………………………………
1:23
If Ron sleepwalks tonight and wakes me up (if I ever fall asleep, that is) he is so dead.
2:46
No luck. My brain is completely blank when it comes to sleeping. Perhaps I've forgotten how.
3:56
Why the hell can't I sleep???
4:05
I am now reading Standard Book of Spells (Grade6) again. Something to do…
4:07
AAARRGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ron and his bloody sleep walking again. Merlin!
6:27
Just finished Standard Book of Spells (Grade 6) for the 2nd time and Quidditch Through the Ages for the 15th time. I am having an incredibly exciting morning so far. Yawn.
6:29
Perhaps I'm going through menopause early. Next thing you know I'll be having hot flashes.
6:30
I wonder why they call it menopause? And we are moving on…
6:38
Never again…never again! Remind me not to forget that I heard the shower turn on. I went in the bathroom to pee and there was Dad NAKED in the shower. I think that is the nastiest thing ever.
6:42
Besides that time Bill and Phlegm were making out in my closet. Ergh. Bad mental images are currently reappearing.
11:03
This announcement has been made official by The Lord of the Aliens:
Ginevera Molly Wesley is bloody stupid (and has a massive arse, but that's beside the point). Why? I asked Mum why they called it menopause when I thought no one was listening, but apparently one of my many big brothers, Ron, was. He nearly pissed his pants he was laughing so hard. Now Harry knows too. EM#15. Mum nearly walloped Ron over the head with the frying pan, but he dodged it. Damn him. He deserved to be hit.
28 August
12:34
MAHHHHH! I slept last night! For 12 beautiful, blissful hours! AND I slept in! MAHHHHHHH! Take that, deranged sleep vibes.
29 August
14: 57
Of course, I couldn't get up after 8:30 today since the lamp on my nightstand fell on my head at 7:00 in the wee hours. Why, why, WHY? Stupid lamp.
15:09
Mum got mad. She has to go buy me a new lamp now because the stupid one that fell on my head this morning is currently is shambles. I bashed it up with Mum's frying pan. Revenge on the lampshade. Hm…excuse me while I go wallow in self-pity.
17:55
The gorgeous Mr. Harry James Potter is so incredibly handsome with his messy black hair. I don't think he has a clue how beautiful he is. –
17:57
The gorgeous Mr. Harry James Potter almost did have a clue how beautiful he is thanks to EM #16. Right after I wrote about his beauty he came into my room because he thought it was Ron's. "Hey, Ron?" he said. I jumped a mile high, fell off the bed and nearly dropped Kiwi. "Oh, sorry, Ginny." And then he turned bright red and left the room. How on earth could he mistake my room for Ron's when mine has got a plaque on it that says GINEVRA'S ROOM and Ron's says RONALD'S ROOM? Anyone to mistake the rooms in the Burrow would have to be severely messed up. Perhaps Harry Potter is severely messed up. HA! That's why You-Know-Who couldn't kill him! I am a genious. I was the first person in the world to discover why You-Know-Who couldn't kill Harry. It's because his head is so thick that you can't even get a killing curse through it. HA!
20: 07
Actually, that's really not very brilliant. Never mind. So much for my mad brain skills. However, Harry has to be pretty thick if he walks into the wrong room when it has a plaque on it telling him what room it actually is.
30 August
13:56
I actually did look at the booklets Hermione gave me on career choices. I haven't got a clue where I am grade-wise, but I suppose McGonnagall will tell us. The bottom line is that I don't think I'm a good enough student to be an Auror and nothing else looks interesting. Maybe Gred and Forge or whatever the hell they're called will let me clean their shop's floors after I get out of Hogwarts.
31 August
9:36
The last day of summer has officially begun. So far I have done 1 of the things I love to do: sleep. Kudos.
12:53
MORE de-gnoming. I swear Mum wants us to die of boredom. Along with boredom came EM #I7. I was swinging a gnome round and round like you're supposed to and it went flying and hit Harry in the head and knocked him to the ground.
13:48
After de-gnoming came lunch and along with lunch and along with lunch came EM#18. I missed the chair as I sat down and the whole plate of food I was carrying slopped down my shirt. 3 cheers.
14:07
Ladies and gets, boys and girls! Welcome to Mortification 101! I, Ginny, will be your host today! Well, what are you waiting for?! Let's get started! The first step to embarrassing yourself is to have your brother invite your crush over to your house for a month! Yes, folks, it's that simple! Once this happens, you will be so incredibly nervous that nothing will go right! Seem too easy?! Take me for example! I had 19 embarrassing moments in only 1 month because my crush was at my house! audience gasps That's right, folks! 19 embarrassing moments over the course of only 1 month! And the same can happen to you too! All you have to do is follow my simple guide to embarrassing yourself! Need an example?! Just 6 minutes ago I stubbed my toe on a loose floorboard in the stairs and went flying…straight into the wall! And he was watching the whole thing! audience applauds Amazing isn't it?! And you can do it too! Just contact me at The Burrow, GINEVRA'S ROOM for more information! Can't find me?! Just look for the only and smallest little girl at the Burrow with flaming red hair and a face-full of freckles to match! Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!
14:11
That really did happen to me.
22:35
Well, the summer holiday is over with a total of 19 EM's. Wow. I never knew just 1 month could be so incredibly embarrassing. Damn. Mum is coming up the stairs to see if I'm asleep. Good-bye summer. Boohoo.
22:56
I am so going to join the EM cult.
