Having successfully mastered the Animagus charm wormtail, padfoot and I have all been able to visit moony. He is miserable poor thing. I suggested going for a walk around hogsmeade but even in animal form, padfoot and I struggled to keep moony in check. It was an unmitigated disaster! We all sneaked out just before dawn covered in blood and scratches, only to discover that pretty redhead, Evans. She was with one of her friends, the dark haired one, Daborn. They were leaning up against the whomping willow and Daborn was crying, sobbing something about Rufus Conway. Of course, once we came out the tunnel, they saw us and asked us what we were doing. As wormtail was staring at Daborn and Padfoot was staring at me, it fell to good old James to explain everything. They were both fascinated and wanted in. so Sirius, Peter, Remus and I have got ourselves into this giant mess, we have to teach Evans and Daborn to be animagi! This can only end badly.

Last night we told Moony what we did and once again the responsibility was foisted on muggins here. Moony isn't as furious as I'd thought he'd be, I think he has a crush on Evans. To be honest, her friend Daborn isn't bad looking. She's got that, like, toffee coloured hair and big brown eyes. I quite like her if I'm honest. Anyway, we're meeting the girls in the charms corridor, there's always an unlocked classroom or two along there. Daborn and Evans have been reading up stuff on the animagus charm so they're considerably more clued up on it than we ever were. Anyway, the only thing that moody is pissed about is that we can't spend time with him tomorrow night. Too many people with too many problems, seriously!

Well, it has to be said. I was wrong. It wasn't an unmitigated cock up after all. In fact for me it was excellent! We stayed up in the common room until everyone had left and then we all sneaked down to the charms corridor. Sirius told the girls the spell to use and I showed them in the flesh, as it were. We wanted Pettigrew to help but he just sat behind the girls and stared at them. We asked them to produce a patronus, which they did without too much bother and Daborn produced a swan after a couple of goes, Evans' was a doe. I barely noticed how Evans was doing. I kept all my focus on Daborn. The others left about half an hour after midnight but Daborn couldn't get th wand movement right so she and I stayed behind to work on it. She wasn't moving her wrist quite right, so I leaned up against her shoulder to show her on my wrist and somehow we just ended up… kissing I suppose. I like her a lot. I told Moony just now and he went all quiet and moody on me. Honestly, would it kill him to be happy for a chap? He's probably brooding about Evans. Anyway, it's the lastnight of the full moon so tomorrow moony'll be back in here with us!
Harry and Ginny stared at the open diary page.
'My dad was fooling around with someone else before he went out with my mum?' said Harry, confused.
Ginny looked at him pityingly. 'Looks like it.' She said. 'Try the second year.' Harry rummaged through the box, picked up another diary and started to read it aloud…
