Dear Journal,

Sirius Black asked me if I would be his girlfriend today. We were in the Gryffindor common room. I told him that I didn't feel the same way but then I paused and I said that I didn't think he felt that way either but then he just asked me again.

"Why do you want me to be your girlfriend?" I had asked him.

"Because I like you," he said.

"No, you don't," I told him, "You don't like me. I'm just one of the only girls you talk to."

"Why does that matter?" he asked.

I paused to think. His gaze had drifted away from me. I followed his gaze and I could see what, or who, he was looking at. I smiled as I understood what was going on.

"You don't have to like girls," I told him, "No one says you need to have a girlfriend."

He blinked at me. And then he gulped. And then he said, "Please don't tell anyone."

I pinky promised I wouldn't.
