Entried Love

4^th of September

Today I arrived at Hogwarts, once again. I really am getting tired of this place, and I can't wait until I graduate at the end of the year. Father, though, pushes me to be a Death Eater even more now, what with my education at Hogwarts coming to an end. I have already made a compromise with him, with which he is extremely dissatisfied. I have told him that I will become a "servant of the Dark Lord" only if I do not fall in love. I realize now with a sinking heart that I will probably become a Death Eater, seeing as how no one could like the evil Draco Malfoy, except for a few people in my own house, whom I loath; Zabini, Parkinson, and Bulstrode.

I ran into Potter on the train ride over. He thinks that he is just so wonderful after Granger asked to date him. He said yes, of course; everyone knows that he's had a crush on her ever since she got petrified way back in our second year. He only stopped liking her for a short while in which he was obsessed with that Chang girl.

Blaise Zabini is clinging to me constantly, after finding out my compromise with Father from Crabbe and Goyle. Stupid bastards can't keep a secret. Well, I almost don't blame them--Blaise can be very persuasive sometimes. Anyways, she thinks that I will fall in love with her. The truth is I can not stand her. All she does is sleep with other boys, and when she's not doing that, she's clinging onto me.

On the train, however, after I had my "conversation" with Potter, I saw that Weasley girl--Virginia, I think her name is. I vaguely remember her from second year, when she opened the Chamber of Secrets. She was so silly then--constantly thinking of stupid little poems to sing to her precious Potter. Now, though, she has really transformed into a pretty little thing, and if Father ever caught me writing that about a Weasley, I'd be dead faster than you can say "Voldemort". I really don't care anymore, though. My life doesn't really have any meaning to me anymore.

4^th of September

I'm finally here! I'm very excited to start school once again at Hogwarts. My sixth year already! The time has flown ever since second year. On the train this afternoon, I have decided one thing: I am completely over Harry. He has Hermione now, so that's just great for him. I have also decided that I like some one else now, and you won't believe who it is: Draco Malfoy. I saw him on the train, and there was something---well, changed about him. His once harsh, gray eyes are now softer silver, and he looked worn. Our eyes met for a second, and I'm not sure, but I think he smiled. I mean, like a genuine smile. I don't think I knew that he could do that. Smile, I mean. Well, it's all too confusing for me. I guess time will have to be the judge.

Anyways, today at dinner, Professor Dumbledore announced that 6^th and 7^th years would be permitted to go to Hogsmeade in small groups--without a chaperone. There was instant cheering from the 6^th and 7^th years. I noticed that Harry had looked purposefully at Hermione, and I knew that they would be going alone together quite a few times. I also knew that the main purpose of going alone to Hogsmeade would be so that you could be with a date. Everyone I knew had dates--Parvati is actually dating Neville, Harry with Hermione, Ron with Padma, and even Colin Creevey had a girlfriend--Susan Bones from Hufflepuff. I, however, have no one. It's times like these when I wish Colin and I were still going out. (I had broken the relationship off only 2 weeks after he had asked me in our 5thg year.) But, I guess now I'm being selfish.

Well, the time is late, diary, and I don't want to be falling asleep during my first day of classes.

8^th of September

The Weasley girl has Advanced Potions with the Slytherins and Gryffindors, and Snape is assigning partners for an Invisibility lesson. He assigned Weasley and me as partners. We have to write an essay and make a substantial Invisibility Potion. Weasley and I are meeting in the library in a few minutes, and Malfoys are never late, so I'll only write for a little longer.

About her: I'll admit that she is pretty, that she is kind, but our families have been feuding for centuries. It would never work between us. Father would bury me alive, and Mother would sob at the disgrace I put over the Malfoy name. But, I don't care anymore. I have decided I like her, and I will tell her tonight. I think.

8^th of September

I have just finished studying with Draco in the library. And he has told me the most shocking thing I've ever heard. Here was our opening conversation, or something along the lines of it:

"Hello, Weasley. You're late."

"I know, I-I-I'm sorry, Malfoy."

He looked at me for a few seconds, as if deciding whether to tell me something or not, before he continued talking.

"Listen, Weas--Virginia (at this point, I blushed. No one had ever called me Virginia before, except for my mother when she got really mad at me and called me "Virginia Anne Weasley") I was wondering if you'd like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend."

"Are you asking me out on a date, Malfoy?"

"My name is Draco, and yes, I am."

"Then I say yes, Draco."

We didn't really get much studying done.

20^th of December

I am in love with Virginia, and I refuse to be a Death Eater. Father is furious, and I am, for the first time in my life, truly happy. Things could be worse.

16^th of May

Draco and I have made plans for the whole summer, and his father is mad enough to kill us. We are going to France. Can you imagine the witch and wizard population in Paris? I can not wait. I love him with all of my heart. I didn't think it was possible for anyone to feel this way. Well, actually, I did--when I was in love with Harry. But then, when I had given up on him, I was completely sure that there was no such thing as love. How wrong I was.

This year has passed by so quickly. I think I will ace all my exams, too. I haven't really gotten to spend much time with Draco because he has to worry about graduating and everything. I just can't wait until the summer.

19^th of June (A/N: It is now "next year". Ginny just graduated. I just thought I'd tell you guys that so you wouldn't get confused!!)

Virginia has recently completed her 7^th and final year at Hogwarts. She graduated with astonishingly good grades, and we are celebrating in the Bahamas. She is having a great time, and I, too am happy. I have also decided to ask her to marry me. I know we are young; she is 19 and I am 20, but I honestly believe that this is true love. I know it may sound corny, but it's true. I'd die for her.

20^th of June

Draco has asked me to marry him, and I have said yes.

The End
