Lily Meader's Diary

The start of classes
I had to get up crazy early to go to classes this morning! I mean EARLY!!! After getting lost for about the third time trying to get to the Great Hall for breakfast I ended up back by the Fat Lady as soon as Harry, Ron and Hermione were walking out. I had a really frustrated look on my face apparently because they asked me what was wrong. I told them that I lost my way to the Great Hall and they told me to follow them. So I followed them to the Great Hall. When I walked in...Great Merlin was it amazing! The ceiling seemed to be bewitched (Ohhhhh, what I just said) Anyway, it was bewitched to look like the outside sky. It was a beautiful sunny September day! While eating breakfast Ron said "Bloody hell!"

"What's wrong?" Harry asked him.

"Double potions with the Slytherins." He then smacked his paper that had our class schedule.

Here is mine for today:

Double Potions with Slytherins-Teacher: Professor Snape

Transfiguration with Ravenclaw-Teacher: Professor McGonagall

Care of Magical Creatures with Ravenclaw-Teacher: Professor Hagrid

Charms with Hufflepuff-Teacher: Professor Flitwick

Herbology with Slytherins-Teacher: Professor Sprout

(Much similar to the one in High School, six periods, double class would take two periods and so on)

Professor McGonagall: Head of Gryffindor

Professor Snape: Head of Slytherin

Professor Flitwick: Head of Ravenclaw

Professor Sprout: Head of Hufflepuff

Anyway, I was surprised how pale and annoyed the three of them looked, and when I asked about it they went on and on about this Snape guy who I don't know yet...from their rating I get that he is the potion teacher and he is a pain in the arse to everyone except Slytherin because he is Head of that house and favors them.

When the owl post came in I was surprised that I got a letter. Well, actually I got two letters. One from Mum and Dad, and the other one is from my most bestest friend in the world...ELISE! (A/N: Our convos come true girl! lol-inside joke) Seems mum and dad only told her about me being a witch. They said that she wouldn't leave them alone till they told her my new address so she could write to me. Hahaha. She can be a pain. She said she was cool with it and that it was wicked that I was a witch. She has promised not to tell anyone about me, just what my parents told them. I am in a boarding skewl and will be back in the summer.

After potions class

After potions I headache and I realized what they meant by Snape being a pain... he starts off with this sleeping drought... and it looks like the most complex thing I have ever seen!!! I have no clue what half this stuff is! Snape just walks by sneering at everyone. He doesn't bother to explain anything! I DONT KNO WHAT IM DOING!! After that class we go to transfiguration, Professor McGonagall is more welcoming then Snape... well she at least tries to explain what's happening...mostly by giving out tons and tons of homework!! 2 rolls of parchment on the first day back???!!!! The best plus of this class is NO SLYTHERINS!!! Also with the parchment, they use quills and ink to write. They have no idea what a pen/pencil or paper is! The only ones who do know are the other muggleborn's like me.

Lunch
This Malfoy kid comes by and seems to hate my new friends (we got over the whole "I-Have-Harry's-Late-Mother's-Name" thing.) More then anything...hmmm rite I'm not really payin attention...he is actually quite good looking, he is a Slytherin though. Seems that Gryffindors and Slytherins shouldn't be together, the two houses are practically enemies. Well, it must have shown on my face cuz he sneers at me and says "Like what u see mudblood?" (Still don't kno how that 'mudblood' title thing should hurt my feelings. There are a lot more horrible names to be called. Guess they don't kno muggle slang) I have a sudden urge to slap the smirk off his face and he just stood there smirking! Before I did slap him Ron told him to shove it and leave. Then Malfoy said "Defending the Mudblood are you? Thought you had Granger here. Seems Weasel-be has a new crush." That is when I noticed the two fatsos standing behind him. I heard their names where Crab and Goyle. They started laughing and Ron's ears went red (wonder why-maybe because he was embarrassed. Hmmm...) Well, then they left and Ron was still embarrassed, and I think I made him even more embarrassed when I thanked him for sticking up for me. He mumbled what sounded like a "Your welcome" then started shoving food into his mouth. Ron is rather cute...I really shouldn't be thinking this because I just met him and barley kno him...Great Merlin, speak of the devil himself, here come Ron and Harry down the stairs. I better put u upstairs before they have a chance to read what I wrote bout RON!

Expect the unexpected

It is now midnight and all four of us are sitting in the Common Room. I kno that it is dangerous writing when there are so many eyes wanting to read what is in here but when I told them that it was private and personal they didn't say another word about it.

Anyway, the main reason for writing right now is...Ron. I don't kno w why but I am attracted to him and I feel guilty about it for a couple of reasons. They are:

Well, now it is 12:33 am and we are all heading to bed, or I am at least. Hermione said that she is going so I am going with her. Harry and Ron are going to finish their...

Sry that I never finished that thought but Harry called me over the boys' dormitory stairs to talk to me. He wanted to kno how I was doing. I gave him a weird look but told him fine, thxs to him and the others. What he said next really surprised me. He...he said...he said I...he said I was pretty and that he wanted to go out with me. I was totally taken back! I leaned back against the wall, hand to my chest and asked why on earth he would want to go out with me! He said, and I quote, "Well, I know that we don't know each other very well but I really think you are pretty and I...I don't know how to explain it but I feel a bond between you and me and I think it has something to do with your name being the same as my mothers. I went to Professor Lupin, Defense against the Dark Arts Teacher, and talked to him about this before I talked to you..." I interrupted him by saying, "So that is where you disappeared to after lunch!" He nodded and continued saying about how Professor Lupin gave him advice as to not say anything until he knew exactly how he felt and that he had to totally believe that what he was feeling was love and not just a small attraction to me because of my name. He said that he had been thinking about it all day and the more he spent time with me the more he understood how he felt.

I was in awe at that moment. I had no idea what to say or how to react to it. He just sat there and gave me as much time as I needed. When I had my voice back I told him that I would have to think about it. I know it was corny but he said that he expected that from me at the moment. He leaned over and kissed my cheek before he walked upstairs to his room. I walked back into my room and in my bed in a daze until this very moment that I am writing this. I absolutely positutely have to write to Elise now! I need to sleep on all this. G'night.
