I did it.

I.....erm......asked Rory to the dance.

She said yes.

I can't believe I actually did it. After Charms, she was walking down the hallway from Potions. No one was around her, she was all alone. I went up to her, and we talked a little. Then as we were to part, I just turned to her and said "Are you going to the dance?"

"I don't know," she said casually, "I mean, no one's asked me."

I cleared my throat nervously, and then just blurted, "Would you want to go with me?"

She smiled, and said, "Sure! Sounds great!" then she turned around and left.

I couldn't breathe. I like Rory a lot. More than I ever liked Cho. Rory is so much different... she's kind and compassionate, and she cares about things other than gossip and school. Not to mention she's very pretty.

I have to go... I'll update later.

Good Morning!

I have approximately twenty minutes before Arithmancy. Breakfast was good today, and I ate loads, as usual. Nothing extraordinarily exciting has happened since yesterday, other than I beat Rory twice at Exploding Snap, and as she was out of her house well past curfew, I had to walk her under the Invisibilty Cloak. The Marauder's Map is quite a useful tool, I must say!

Hermione is in shambles over this weekend.... it's Hogsmeade weekend, and Wood is coming Friday. It's great to see her so worked up over something "trivial"; now I can hold this over her head when she gets annoyed with me and what Hermione calls "my romantic conquests". Really, now!

Ron and I went into the Forest yesterday on a walk. He's always nervous that we'll run into Aragog. I tell him that he's being stupid, the only thing we're likely to run into is a centaur or Lord Voldemort. He shuddered at the name and gave me a wide-eyed look of terror before sprinting back to the castle. I had a good laugh before I ran to catch up with him.

I must be off

Til later,

Harry

Ron likes Cho? How nice. Why did you think there would be a big argument? I've told you, I'm over her. Yes, she's gorgeous... but emotionally unstable, and way too high-maintenance for me. She's quite a good kisser though.

Ginny and I had a nice chat this morning, in the common room before breakfast. She's been going to Hogsmeade with Seamus lately, but isn't sure if she likes him yet. I told her Seamus is a fine fellow, but to do what feels right. Even Hermione said, I've been giving excellent advice lately. And from Hermione.... that's a huge compliment.

I have a half hour before Potions... maybe I can hex myself and go to the hospital wing - then again, I really can't afford to miss a Potions class. Even if I always get zeros, regardless of if I concoct the potion perfectly. Malfoy thinks it's funny to sabotage me. One day, when Voldemort is dead, when he's reduced to nothingness, I'll be able to laugh in Malfoy's face. That's all I want, concerning him.

By the way, the Animagus training session... Hermione's got it. She becomes a tawny owl with large, purple eyes and white markings on her head that resemble flat, white hair. She's quite a beautiful owl. I reckon I'll be there next session, right now I'm to four legs, a flat, slobbery tongue, patches of fur and claws. Ron... well, it might take Ron a while. He hasn't got past the webbed feet and toads. Hermione told him hopefully that his face rounded out a bit, but I don't think it did.

well... I'm off... wish me luck in Potions.

Til later

Vicious storm outside.... Care of Magical Creatures is cancelled, so we have a free period before dinner. After I finish updating this thing, I'll do my Arithmancy chart, then I'll finish my diagram of a botswogger for Defense Against the Dark Arts (Professor Trilley says they're evil... I think they are rather cute, and Professor Trilley is too nervous, we have a crackpot teacher for D.A.D.A.). Hopefully I'll finish by 5, so I'll have time to relax. Hermione offered to help me with the number chart... she loves Arithmancy. Professor Vector is all right, anyways. I need to get top marks to be an Auror, so I better start cracking down, I guess. Although McGonagall is determined to see me through... so I reckon she'll give me extra help if I need it.

Cho wants to teach... here, at Hogwarts. She wants to apply for Astronomy (Sinistra is leaving, I expect she's preggers), Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, or Flying Instructor. I hope she beats out Snape, so more kids don't have to deal with him. If she doesn't get a job here, she reckons she'll go to Beauxbatons. She says Durmstrang is too "Dark Artsy" for her. I quite agree.

Ron, Hermione and I are having another Animagus session tonight. We're almost there. Ron can get webbed feet and warts, and Hermione's sprouted feathers and a beak. I grow shaggy hair and my teeth sharpen. A few more sessions, and I think we'll be successful. It's awfully exciting. After six months... Sirius said it took him almost two years. Just goes to show what our generation can do, huh Sirius ;-D

Off to homework *groans*

So sorry I didn't update yesterday... nothing interesting. Beat Hermione at a game of Exploding Snap, although she's gotten quite good. Loads of homework again, but Professor Flitwick taught us a series of Cleaning Charms, which will be fun to practice. Ron did better than me on the Astronomy essay, although he copied off of me. Sometimes I think the world hates me.

I'm starting Animagus training... in secret. Hermione and Ron are too. Part of me wants to do it just to do it, the other part of me wants to be reckless like Sirius, Lupin and - my dad. I'm working on transforming into a dog. Sirius told me it's a nice animal, people are kind to it and normally won't suspect one. Hermione wants to be an owl, so she can deliver her own messages. Ron wants to be a toad, because he's never heard of an Animagus toad.

Today Snape didn't say much, only managed to give me a foul look whenever our eyes met. What a greaseball. Gave us a list of questions to answer on the Polyjuice Potion. Hmm, we should do alright with that, sha'n't we, Ron and Hermione ;-D Sinistra only requires half a roll of parchment on the position of Canis Major in July, and McGonagall decided to let us off for today. Nice, eh?

Til later,

Hermione is over the moon about the "Muggle invasion". She loves computers and knows almost as much about them as she knows about house elves. Almost. She'll have her own journal soon, so beware. She'll use it as an advertising board for S.P.E.W. or something. As she's been communicating with Lupin, she's now interested in werewolves' rights. Pretty soon she'll be forcing us to wear W.E.T. badges, for "Werewolf Equality Team" or some rubbish. Hermione, dear, you know I love you, but I think you should give up.

Today I had a nice chat with Justin Finch-Fletchley at lunch. He's interested in trying out for Hufflepuff's Quidditch team, and he wants some pointers. I'm not too good at any position but Seeker, and Justin wants to be a Beater. I gave him some flying tips though. He seemed really interested in the Wronski Feint, although that's not much help unless you're Seeker.

I have Astronomy homework, and Transfiguration, and of course Potions. Snape embarrassed Neville again, I don't get it. Neville is a nice boy who is just hopeless. Why can't Snape just let him be?

...*sighs*... that Ravenclaw girl I was telling you about? I'm still uncertain. Once things unfold, I'll reveal her name. Not that it matters... the only reason a girl would want to go out with me is because I'm famous. And good at Quidditch.

Speaking of which... Ron and I are going to have a game on the pitch, with Ginny, Hermione, Cho, Justin, Dean, Seamus, and some other people from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff (no Slytherins allowed >:O)

Hermione's parents owled her the money for her computer, she's picking it out from a Muggle catalogue tonight. She should get it in about a week. Ron absolutely REFUSES to use my computer, I think it's a pride issue, because he seems really very interested when he walks past it. I wish I could give the Weasleys the entire contents of my vault at Gringott's.... they'd never accept it though.

Malfoy thought it would be funny to hex me during Potions... he put the Jelly-Legs Jinx on me, and of course Snape didn't say anything. Luckily Hermione knows about ten trillion countercurses so she quickly set me back straight. I swear steam came out of her ears, her blood was boiling. She hates Malfoy as much as, maybe more than, she hates Snape. Perhaps it's because of that time he called her Mudblood.... back when I was ignorant, and had no idea that that was not a nice name. If I had known, I'm sure my wand would have been whipped out quicker than you can say impedimenta.

Not much has been going on... I've gotten over Cho Chang, I think Hermione gloats in the fact that I learned a lesson: pretty faces don't mean pretty people. There's this nice girl, she's in Ravenclaw. No names mentioned yet, not until I know if I really like her.

Hello [12 Sep 2003|01:02pm]
[ mood | grateful ]

The Ministry of Magic passed an educational decree, it seems as though they want we Hogwarts students to learn more about the Muggle world. They tampered with the magic guarding the school, and now we can use Muggle computers. Dumbledore wants us to update these journal things, it's kind of a daily homework assignment. Hermione's waiting for her parents to owl her the money to order one, and Ron's stuck using the ones in the library. I bought mine from London, it's a nice black one, and really fast. Even though I grew up a Muggle, I was never allowed to touch Dudley's. They're really quite fascinating, these computers.

Snape's been loading on the homework, last night we had two essays. It's bloody insane, what with McGonagall smacking us with pop quizzes every other day and Trelawney predicting my death with tears in her eyes every time I walk into her classroom... it's enough to make a boy go mad, isn't it? Hermione's no help, she's always on my back about how Ron and I shouldn't laze around on the weekends, and how we shouldn't procrastinate. I'm going to let Dean and Seamus examine this machine now, hopefully they don't trash it :-/
