September 5th, 7.05 PM, Common room next to Remus
Remus, buddy, care to write with me?
Fine, but it's very annoying to not just talk.
Why?
Because it takes longer and I can't properly express emotion.
Well...use emoticons.
Emoticons?
Yeah, like :) and :( are happy and sad.
Okay I will...:)
:D
What's that?
Like super happy...
Oh.
So how are you lately?
:(
Oh :(. Why?
See, I reallllllllly like this girl...
Yes?
But she likes another guy...
Oh...
And he's my mate...
Is it Georgia Billington?
No...
Well what mate is it?
Sirius.
Does he like her?
Yes.
Well, who is it then?
I can't say it...
Then just write it.
No, its just...private.
At least makeup a name!
Make one up?
Yeah...like a codename. Like...er...I used to like Amos Diggory. So I called him Mandrake in public.
Er...Mandrake?
Because when Rosie and I were trying to come up with a nickname for our crushes we were learing about Mandrakes. So Amos was Mandrake, and James, who Rosie liked back then-this was in second year- became Earmuffs.
I remember you and Rosie talking about earmuffs and I thought you were crazy...
You love my craziness.
I do.
You should.
That's why I do.
Good.
Fine.
Yep...
Grace...
...Remus?
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
Er...well remember when we snogged?
Yes?
Can we do it again?
Oh...er...well you see...I sorta have a boyfriend now...
What? Since when?
Yesterday...
Who is it?
I can't really say...It's secret for now?
Okay...do you mind me asking why?
Well...you see...I shouldn't be dating him. He's kinda off limits...
Shit, Gracie, is it a teacher?
No! Nothing like that...
What then?
It breaks the girl code...
The girl code?
Yes...
What's that?
Rules like..don't date a friend's ex and stuff.
It's Sirius, isn't it?
Um...Er...Well...Yes?
Oh God...
Um...please just...don't tell anyone?
Of course.
Thanks, Remus.
No problem, Gracie.
Er...I'm gonna go to my dorm now...
Bye, Grace.
Toodles, Remus.
8.05 PM, dorm.
So Sirius dumped me.
Why, dear diary? Because I confessed to him I told Remus about us.
He was mad...really mad.
I showed him the entry where Remus and I talked, hoping he would calm down, but he says I betrayed him. And I did. So I'll just have to deal, even though i think Sirius is overreacting.
When I left, Remus followed me into the hall and we talked.
Remus: I'm really sorry, Gracie.
Me: It's okay.
Remus: He's just a prat.
Me: I guess...
Remus: Being single can be fun...
Me: Not helping.
Remus: Sorry...
Me: It's okay! I mean, there are some perks...Like now I can snog whoever I want.
And I kissed him.
And he kissed back.
And we had a twenty minute snog session in the hall.
It was really nice...
Anyway, dear diary, I'm off to shower.
Ta ta for now.
