A Diary? Chapter 2: Ron, a harry potter fanfic

Dear Diary,

Hermione's decided that writing in this thing is absolutely necessary. I told her I didn't want to, but she started muttering about 'Harry agreed to it'. So what choice did I have?

Hermione is definitely a strange girl. I'm surprised we're friends; she hates flying, and loves reading and studying. She's my exact opposite. But we get along, and they do say opposites attract.

Right now though, she's getting on my nerves. She actually thinks Harry's telling the truth. Why would somebody else put his name into the Goblet? It had to be him.

And the worst part is, he didn't tell me and he won't admit to it even now. He always gets his way. Sure, his parents died, and his relatives hate him. But everybody here loves him; they think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

He always has new stuff, tons of money, and they bend rules for him. He's the only first year to make it on the house team! It's so aggravating! Why does he get special treatment? There are other first years who were really good players, but all the other first years aren't allowed to try out. No, only perfect Potter.

It's not easy being his friend. To his credit, he's modest and humble, but that doesn't change anything. I'm just famous Potter's stupid sidekick.

I have my own identity, but nobody sees that. I'm Fred and George's brother when a teacher gets mad. When I get a good grade I'm Percy's brother. If I fly well then I'm Charlie's brother. If my hair gets too long then I'm Bill's brother. To our grade, I'm just another Weasley or Harry's friend.

It's not this bad for Ginny. She's a girl so therefore she's already different. She's the baby and mom's little girl. But I'm just another Weasley boy. It sucks. I can't do anything that hasn't been done by somebody else. It's nothing new.

I was hoping this year might be different. Since Oliver Wood left I was hoping I could make the house team. But there's no Quidditch because of the stupid Triwizard Tournament. Ugh!

Which brings me back to Harry; he entered and couldn't even be bothered to tell his best friend. I might pretend to be angry, but it mostly hurts. I thought we were close, like brothers. I mean my mom has practically adopted him. But no, he couldn't tell me. And afterwards he didn't even bother to tell me how he did it.

The part that makes me angry is that he lied about it. He's still denying it, pretending he's all 'innocent'. I'm not gonna fall for that. There's no reason for somebody else to have him enter. It doesn't do any good. He just wants 'eternal glory' and the money. He wants more fame.

I guess Lockhart was right; once you have a taste of fame you'll do anything to get more.

Well, Dean and Seamus are motioning towards me. I guess they found some more hot girls. As though they'll ever score a date, but I'll admit, it's fun to try. Especially the look on Seamus' face when he gets rejected. Anyways…

Ron headed out, hoping they'd help him forget about his problems.

Several hours later, the 3 boys trudged back, smelly, tired, and single.

Ron picked up his diary, eager to chuck in the fire where it belonged and tell Hermione the somebody stole it.

But, there was something that stopped him. He had closed it but here it was lying open on his bed.

He flipped through it, hoping nobody had read it…

Dear Diary,

Hermione's decided that writing in this thing is absolutely necessary. I told her I didn't want to, but she started muttering about 'Harry agreed to it'. So what choice did I have?

Well, you always have a choice its not her fault you always compare yourself to Harry.

Hermione is definitely a strange girl. I'm surprised we're friends; she hates flying, and loves reading and studying. She's my exact opposite. But we get along, and they do say opposites attract.

She's very happy she's your oppisite because she would find it mortifying if she ever ate as much as you do.

Right now though, she's getting on my nerves. She actually thinks Harry's telling the truth. Why would somebody else put his name into the Goblet? It had to be him.

No it didn't, you have absolutely no proof, humph.

Well at least he's not jealous, actually scratch that, he is jealous of your family…

He didn't ask for that you know.

It's not easy being his friend. To his credit, he's modest and humble, but that doesn't change anything. I'm just famous Potter's stupid sidekick.

And the boy who eats a lot…

Aww, poor Ronny (and it's up to you to decide if that was sarcastic or not)

You'll find something.

I was hoping this year might be different. Since Oliver Wood left I was hoping I could make the house team. But there's no Quidditch because of the stupid Triwizard Tournament. Ugh!

There'll be Quidditch next year and I'm sure you'll make it.

Grr, I was all like poor Ron, he's not so bad, and then you say that! He didn't do it, one day you'll realize that.

You should try talking to him sometime, you'll realize he'd give up everything to have his parents back.

I guess Lockhart was right; once you have a taste of fame you'll do anything to get more.

Sniff, Lockhary was a douche bag…

I don't know why anybody in their right minds would go out with Finnigan, really.

~Ron Weasley

Oh jeez, what the hell? Somebody had read his diary and replied with a couple not nice things to his posts.

"Hey Hermione," he called, "Do you know who to tell who messed with your stuff?"

"Yeah, let me see it," she came over and saw the diary and smirked, "Nobody messed with that, it's just a charmed diary, honestly Ronald. None of the guys in your dorm have handwriting near as legible as the replies and none of the girls would dare go into your dorm for fear of being eaten by something hiding under one of your beds."

And as she walked away he didn't see the smile on her face.

Okee dokee, I still have to write Hermione's but that shouldn't be too long.

Hmm, I don't like this one as much as Harry's and I think I made the diary replies too mean but Ron was sort of wrong, and I think the subconcious part of Hermione's brain that replies to the entry somehow wouldn't appreciate that and also probably wishes she had some siblings because I bet that being an only child may be great at times but it's probably very lonely. And after spending time with the Weasley's one would definitely realize how lucky Ron is to have a mother like Molly Weasley.

I'm thinking about doing another set of diaries after the Yule Ball, where Ron denies his feelings and Hermione explores hers. Let me know what you think...
