Two Birds With One Stone

Chapter One- Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

He is not worth it anymore. Ron just doesn't like me the way I like him, I have to face the facts. I mean Harry said he liked me in 3rd year, but whats the point? I was so distant during 3rd year because of all of the extra classes and the overwhelming amount of homework. I wish I would have never accepted the time-turner.

Just to make matters worse yesterday Lavender told Pavarti that she liked Ron too. Apparently Pavarti likes Ron as well. Being the social princess that she is, Pavarti told Ron about Lavender's gigantic crush on him. Lavender was so embarrassed, even though it was obvious that Ron had liked her the whole year!

So back to the story at hand, today was one of the many days we went to Hogsmeade. It was raining so we were taking the journey in the thestral drawn carriages. Me and Lavender sat together, much to my distaste and Harry and Ron sat across from us.

When we finally reached Hogsmeade after the awkward carriage ride we were separated from Lavender. We found shelter from the rain and sat down in a cosy corner booth. I was trying to strike up a conversation with Ron, but he was too distracted looking around, asking me if I could see Lavender.

He finally found Lavender and completley ditched me and Harry to ask Lavender if she wanted a butterbeer! I can't belive him.
Harry leaned over too me and said, "See, I told you. When he found out that Lavender liked him it was like all of the love he had for you evaporated into nothing."

I almost burst into tears right there. Guys always say the most insensible things! Then as if the world just wanted me to die from my emotional breakdown, Pavarti showed up. I walked away from the table to get over my new emotions in the bathroom, and there was Lavender fixing her make up muttering something about a "Won-Won", whatever that was.

I finally managed to pull myself together and walked out of the bathroom, thinking nothing could break my act of calmness. Here is where Pavarti comes in, my roomate and supposed "friend". Remember the thing I said about me being in an unbreakable state of calmness, man was that a lie.

There was Harry and Ron sitting in our booth made for THREE people. I walked up to them, hoping that she would take a hint and get up but of course that wouldn't happen. I coughed a little and she turned to face me. "Uhh..." I started " I was kind of sitting there." She stared at me with this blank expression on her face and then said, " The last time I checked your name wasn't on this spot, so I have every right to sit here."

I just stood there shocked. How dare she say that to me! What made it even worse was that Harry and Ron were just sitting there staring at us, not even bothering to defend me at all!!! I walked away and went to the Hog's Head, where I am writing this now, trying to think of a way to get back at the lot of them.
