*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I know I shouldn't be doing this. I know it's wrong and unreasonable. There's no logic behind it. I know I should turn around right now before I get caught. What was Ronald thinking when he showed me that book. It's like giving catnip to a cat then leaving the packet on the floor.

'Hermione don't do this.' My logical brain was shouting at me.

"Just one page. I'll read one page and put it back." I whispered as I reached forward.

I checked around me again before pulling the book free from its place. My guilty conscience tugged at me as I looked around again. Thankfully, I didn't see anyone around. I sighed and made my way to the back corner. It was a "secret" spot that was nicely hidden by some bookshelves. I held my breath as I sat down and opened the leather bound book.

Summer 3 - Manor Day 5

You'd think with my family status and having been in Hogwarts for 3 years my father would be somewhat proud. Boy was I mistaken. Five days at the manor so far and father just keeps getting more frantic. I can see there's something huge weighing on him. Mother says that I shouldn't ask about it even though I want to...

I slammed the book shut. I really shouldn't be doing this. It's not right, but I need to know. 'Hermione just put the book back.' I tried to reason. Instead I opened it again and skipped down the page a bit.

I've mentioned this before, but I feel like I should mention it again. That Granger girl is so brilliant. She's got the brains and quite possibly the courage to make her the perfect female. I don't usually listen to the gossip at Hogwarts but... Who would have thought she'd be able to stave the whole school while petrified. It happened last year, but I'm still pretty much stuck on that. This year I heard that she saved boy wonder from being werewolf supper. Plus she's taking every class she can using something called a time-turner.

It was a real bummer when she punched me in the face. Although, even if it may seem weird, I liked that she wasn't afraid of me because of my name. Felt horrible saying all those things to her. I wish father could be more accepting of muggles. Then maybe I could mend some bridges there.

Wish me luck for next year. Not sure when I'll be making another entry this summer.

I closed my eyes briefly when the realization hit me. I was right about him all along. He was misunderstood and his father had a lot to do with what he did. Something was still bugging me though so, even if I knew I shouldn't, I turned through some pages skimming them for more detailed stuff. Then I came across something I wish I hadn't.

Summer 4 - Manor Day 10

This year was quite possibly the worst and best. I didn't get into as many arguments with Potter. Since he was off doing Merlin only knows for the Tri-Wizard Cup. I could see Granger wasn't to happy about it. Everything seemed fine until Potter came back from the maze yelling about old moldy Voldy. I pretty much ran from the area with one thought in my mind.

Unfortunately it waa just my luck to be proven right. After everything mother came to fetch me and what do you know. Old Voldy is sitting and the dinner table. I wanted to freak, but Malfoy's don't cause scenes. Father explained that Voldy would be living with us. Once again I wanted to freak.
