Dear Diary OR Hogwarts' Romeo & Juliet

Disclaimer: JKR writes everything first and then has her stuff published... I write chapter by chapter and demand reviews in between... you do the math- do I add up to JK Rowling? (Didn't think so:P)

Author's Notes: Yeah... decided not to go on with this one until I got SOME reviews, so if you've been waiting for this to be updated for a while now, and you haven't reviewed, you've only got yourselves to blame. For those of you who did, namely Chezzybabe... and no one else has reviewed but it HAS been almost a week so I've given in and posted.

Chapter Three:

Dear Diary,

HE DID IT AGAIN! Draco answered ANOTHER question before me... okay that is just not right. What is he trying to prove? Nobody can out wit me... or at least not Draco... right? And what's worse, is that it wasn't Potions today. It was Transfiguration. Maybe I'm just getting stupider... Perhaps, instead of writing in here, I should be studying! What if he answers another question before me? Since when has he cared about school? Since when have I cared about him caring? Can he even care? Where is this going?

I don't know any more. I just don't know...

Anyway, back to a more cheerful note, Ronald and I didn't fight today. That in itself is truly surprising. Diary, I'm not even kidding you. I've been arguing with Ronald ever since I started liking him, which to be truthfully honest, I don't know why I do. He's arrogant, pig headed, unkind, doesn't care about his grades or how he looks, and he can't see me! I swear, I've had a crush on him since first year... I didn't know it then, but that's how it's turned out.

See, it was during our first charms class that I really started to like him. I mean, I'd met him on the train with Harry, but I was kind of side tracked with Harry, the train ride, finding Neville's frog, and simply being at Hogwarts for the first time. But in Charms, that was when I had first really noticed him. Sure, he was still sitting near Potter, but this time, something was different, something had clicked... I don't know what it was, maybe it was just the brilliance of his hair (believe me, it wasn't his brilliance anywhere else), but my eyes were drawn to him and I couldn't help but stare. And then of course he couldn't say Wingardium Leviosa correctly. It was so cute! ... Not to mention slightly annoying, so, of course I had to correct him. Which, that night around dinner, I had assumed to be the worst mistake of my life.

That had to have been the worst and best holiday I've had at Hogwarts yet... except maybe the Ball, but anyway. I was running to catch up to Ron and Harry, and ended up over hearing Ron making fun of me. I didn't know why, but that upset me so bad. I was in the girls' bathroom, crying all night. That was the horrible part about my first Halloween at Hogwarts. The best part? When Ron saved me... I know Harry helped, but I only had eyes for Ron that night. I didn't understand it then, but I had begun to really like him. Had it not been for Harry constantly wanting to hang out with me and Ron tagging along, I probably would have avoided Ron altogether. So... I guess I could conclude that I owe my pointless crush on Ronald Bilius Weasley on Harry James Potter.

But my crush on Ronald wasn't fully realized by me until around third year, and that's when the fighting began. Mainly, it was because I was ready for our friendship to evolve, but Ron was still stuck in the four year old mind set that girls had cooties. AND then to make matters worse, during fourth year, around the time of the Ball, he finally realized me... when I was dating Victor Krum. He was famous and all, but it was like dating Harry. Things like dating celebrities always would've worked out better if we'd just stayed friends. Not that I've dated Harry or planned on it, but during the Tri Wizards' Turnament, everyone thought Harry and I were dating thanks to Rita Skeeter. But that's a different can of worms.

Continuing with our currently opened can, THIS year Ronald has decided to be an arse and continue the fighting. It's not getting us anywhere and I wish he'd SEE that! But No!! This only makes us fight more, Ronald and I are both so stubborn that neither of us will admit it first... is it really all the selfish of me to want him to say it first? And, I mean, what if I'm reading this all wrong and he doesn't really like me anyway?

Ohmigod! Ron and Harry are coming! I can hear them wittering about Umbridge... I've got to hide this...

With Love,

HJG
