Gryffindor Common Room.

I was let out of the hospital wing yesterday. all happy, now the epitome of good health and back on my feet now. so yay. but I still had to go to lessons today, which normally would be bad but it was my favourite day today (Arithmancy, DADA, double Aincent Runes, Charms, Transfiguration and Astronomy in the evening) so I didnt have any complaints really.

We're yet to go to astronomy, were just all chillin' in the common room.

Of course during the what 9, lessons I missed nothing of note happened. Shame.

Gryffindor Common Room

Ah! Im so thankful im NOT a quidditch player. Wood ( the captain ) is making the Gryffindor team practice five times a week now, which sucks for them but it also sucks for me, Carla and Olly who are now being BRIBED INTO ( LITERALLY WAS PAID A GALLEON TO DO ALICIAS AINCENT RUNES ESSAY ) doing our friends work as they have no time whatever.

ESPECIALLY FRED AND GEORGE. They spend so much time either in detention or at quidditch practice im questioning how they even sleep.

Anyways, here I am doing the twins Divination homework ( by that I mean im making up the most random dream predictions ever and attempting to take the piss out of the two of them ) but honestly i'm such a nice friend.

Transfiguration Classroom.

Oops?

Just almost took Alicia's eye out. Yay?!

Well we are currently learning the Goldfinch to Snitch spell, apparently according to McGonagall I was "being too aggressive."

I wonder what had made me aggressive.

I don't think I need to further my point.

I FELL DOWN THE FUXKING STAIRS.

In front of EVERYONE. They all laughed.

(Of course Megan and Olivia are still going on about it)

I mean it didn't hurt me physically, just emotionally.

I now feel like an idiot.

Fred and George ( although George said he didn't want to partake in an activity as he liked seeing me mope ) tried to conjure up flowers to make me feel better, they ended up conjuring fireworks and McGonagall took 2 points of Gryffindor.

That sucks or whatever but I'm still embarrassed and no I don't care that I'm overreacting.

A COLLECTIVE LIST OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE GUYS IN HOGWARTS COMPILED BY E.A.DEVEREUX AND C.APATOW AS THEYRE INSANELY BORED IN HoM

1. Cedric Diggory. Are u really attracted to men if you haven't thought about snogging him at least twice?????? We have both had major crushes on him but sadly there are rumours he's in love with a french girl .... shame. Both list makers agree he deserves the top spot

2. Rodger Davis. While a bit of a prick, definitely has been the subject of many of one c.apatow's daydreams. One e.a.devereux adds he has nice blue eyes. Many Hogwarts-goers would agree that he is the token fuck boy.

3. Fred Weasley. c.apatow wouldn't even put him on the list but one e.a.deverux claims while she has no feelings for the guy she does think of him as very attractive .... one e.a.deverux then went on to go a lovely shade of magenta when f.weasley asked the two girls what they where talking about. C.ap — fuck it — Carla wants to know why the other twin isn't included, they look the same?!?!?! Evie says there's a difference !!!!!!

4. Oliver Wood. Epitome of good looking quidditch player. Oof. Both list makers agree he is fit.

5. Snape. Mmmm. Greasy hair.

6. Corey Holland. Both agree he is a cunt, but like fit cunt. e.a.devereux adds that he hasn't spoken to her since the year began which is a blessing as she isn't pissed off but sad as she hasn't got to stare at his face.

7. Lee Jordan and Olly Smith. Both fit. And brownie points cause they're our friends. Smiley faces all around guys!!

8. Dumbledore

E.A.Deveruex wants to announces she thinks she has good taste in men, 3 of the men on this list have been male companions. C.Apatow will agree here.

Gryffindor Common Room.

Brace yourself, diary for a rather weird story.

Now I have made it abundantly clear diary, that despite the fact that Olivia likes to rub hers and Fred relationship it's never bothered me before. But, my, my, my, something happened and it was odd.

So. Where does this story start, at around 9pm me and Olly embarked on our prefect duties to patrol the castle at night. For the most part it was seemingly as usual, everyone was asleep and nothing really happened

The castle can be rather scary at night time so most students (except for a daring few) tend to never venture further then the corridors surrounding their common room at night. So we didn't experience much, the most interesting thing was when some 14th century girls in one of the paintings winked at Olly as we walked by. That was about as interesting as it got.

Me and Olly made small talk, we've became quite good at it, but a fair bit of it was spent staring aimlessly at the grey walls and asleep paintings while occasionally running into a ghost or teacher if we where lucky...or filch if we where unlucky.

At around ten though the story begins to heat up. We where a few corridors away from the Gryffindor Common Room when we heard a particular noise coming from a broom closet.

I turned to Olly, "We already know what we're about to find, don't we?" That being a couple who have decided to leave the common room for a fun night time make-out sesh

"25 points right?" A while ago me and Olly set up a point docking system ( as a way to keep ourselves entertained one night, you know like 10 points taken for a student out of bed ) based on what we find

"Yep."

"Alohamora" Olly whispers.

When the door opens, my stomach kinda drops from beneath me as I see Olivia and Fred. Fred looks up at us with a cheesy grin and suddenly I feel sick.

"30 points from gryffindor." i say, bitterly

"30?" Olly questions

"An extra five because it's Fred." I can't look him in the eyes. "Now go before we take anymore."

Fred makes a joke before they run off but I wasn't paying attention I was filled with a sudden bitterness that I for the love of merlin can't explain.

"You alright Evie?" Olly questions

"Oh, what, yeah im doing just fine."

Eventually we finish up our duties now im sat here trying to figure out what exactly well, bothered me because seeing them did bother me and gave me a strong urge to wish they'd never kiss again.

I dare not to ask Carla, shed make fun of me and I think she'd call me the J-Word. WHICH I AM NOT!!!! Can I make that ABUNDANTLY CLEAR, before you get any ideas

It's weird. I keep feeling sick, maybe I should go to Pomfrey.

I''ll just take some ibopurofen and act like these weird feelings never existed.

Gryffindor Common Room.

Now brace yourself for an even weirder story.

( in retrospect it's not weird it just has slightly odd aspects to it.....)

So.

There we all where, the gang, talking about all sorts of stuff, then somehow we found ourselves on the topic of the Hogwarts kitchen, which except for Fred, George and Lee, none of us had ever visited.

However me and Carla are very keen to visit, so Fred and George ( who never miss out on an opportunity to stop doing their homework to visit the kitchens offered to take us )

George suggested that to "not arouse suspicion' we should go in pairs, and since me and Carla had no clue what so ever where the kitchens where so therefore each of us got a twin and lucky as ever ( note the sarcasm ) I got Fred. Yay!

We left first, for the first part we made good conversation talking about all sorts of things.

"Thanks for the Divination homework by the way." He says, laughing.

"Why, you're ever so welcome."

"I really liked the one where you said I had a dream I got hit by a boulder and that symbolises how much of a twat I was."

With George I made believable predictions, because I'm a NICE friend. With Fred I made shitty predictions, because I'm a NICE friend.

"Must've been a fun dream?"

He laughs before turning to me "Evie, Evie, Evie." Fred said ( haha that rhymed. I'm a poet and I didn't even know it. I'll stop with the year 2 level humour soz ) as we

"Fred." I replied, rather suspiciously, hiding a grin

"Shall we talk about last night."

"What happened last night?"I pause "I don't remember anything of interest happening last night."

I said this in a rather dull tone ( for comedic purposes ) and Fred apparently found that funny as he was struggling to not laugh.

"According to one Mr Oliver Smith, you where rather bothered by a ceartain act that you had seen that night."

I AM SO KILLING OLLY. I WASN'T BOTHERED. At All.

I turned to face him, suddenly I felt sick again. "I wasn't bothered" I murmered, but it came out rather quietly.

"Sure." I know this is some joke, but for some reason I really wanted to squash it. To make sure he DOESN'T think I like him.

I looked him straight in the eyes, it seems stupid to mention but he has really nice eyes. "Do what ever you want, kiss whoever you want it shouldn't bother me and it doesn't." It just it felt like. Nevermind.

"Glad we've sorted that out then." he said, but the light-hearted ness of our conversation had disappeared for a few seconds we both sort of stood there in the middle of the hallway, he was clearly observing the look on my face with a small smirk on his. Im sure I was showing a million emotions.

The silence was broken when the same painting of a witch that had started to sing wedding bells when we walked by her when we got detention back in September practically screamed "Oooh. is this a lovers quarrel?"

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, Im so glad you died in the plague." Fred laughed at that, I can say it was quite funny

With that the painting witch stalked off as the lightheartedness of me and fred came back and we began another conversation all about the House Elves in the kitchen.

Eventually we got there and Fred showed me how to get in. I will not be saying incase this falls into wrong hands and someone successfully breaks through all three protective spells and find out. Sorry!

Turns out when we got there George and Carla where already there "Took you long enough." Carla smirked, I gave her two fingers in response.

"Well, Evie, welcome to the kitchens." Fred smiled.

The kitchens is really nice, smells all homely, and warm and ugh I love it now. I think its one of my favourite places in Hogwarts.

The house elves then started running around giving us any type of food we like.

"What food do they make best?" I asked turning to Fred and George.

"Choclate chip cookies." Fred said, "You can't go wrong there."

"Pancakes." George said.

I grimaced "Gonna have too go with Fred."

I turned to one of the house elves "can I have some chocolate chip cookies."and they hurried off to get some. We stayed there for some time, eating all sorts of food that the house-elves made before thanking them and helping tidy away and trotting off back to the common room.

All in all it was one of the most enjoyable hours of January. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

On the way back into the Common room some painting winked at Fred ( sidenote : WHY ARE PAINTINGS ALWAYS WINKING AT MY FRIENDS ) while another flirtily ( is that a word?????? ) combed her hair and a third waved.

"Looks like you've got a rather long line of lovers behind you." I said to him smirking, Carla gave me some more weird eyes. That's like her faveourite thing ever, now, giving me weird eyes and looks. "Someone's a popular little boy."

"Shut up Evie." He said with a laugh

Is made him laugh a lot today, and every tome I did I felt a strong sense of pride that I'd been the one to make him laugh

But thats normal.

You like making your friends laugh.

Right?

Yeah. Yeah you do.

Gryffindor Girls Dormitory.

Well. Hello there, diary.

It's been a while, hasn't it.

How are you? Has anything changed in the last five days.

Sorry for the lengthy leave it's just I've been so busy these days. Like firstly I've got my own normal life shenanigans and fun things to get up to ( EG : reading magazines, playing with cleo, doing my makeup so I look pretty daily, and worrying about certain people and situations ) and OBVIOUSLY I've got lessons to go to and homework to complete and NOW because some of my friends are quidditch freaks who dedicate all their time to a sport I'm ( as previously mentioned ) doing their homework as well.

It's been a stressful week. Let's make a list.

A LIST OF THE OCCURRENCES OF THE PAST FIVE DAYS IN E.A.DEVEREUX'S LIFE.

1. A morning visit to the kitchens with Fred, George and Carla. Very nice. 10/10

2. Alicia got lead on by some girl. Poor Girl (Alicia, not the bitch who lead her on.) We had to spend all Wednesday evening consoling her and staying that all Hufflepuffs where "incredibly evil human beings who want to ruin everything." They're not. No house discriminatory here. 

3. Run in with Corey Holland. Didn't speak to him at all during January. Maybe he had a January Resolution : Don't speak to Evie! Well he did, it was rather nice actually, no hidden meanings of snogging or subtle hints that he thinks I'm fit. It was nice.

4. Trelawney gave me an O. WHAT. Definitely high.

5. Saw my sweet little sister Cassiopeia again, had to console her. Turns out someone was threatening to beat her up, ever the responsible older sister I sorted it out. They where a gryffindor so I confiscated some points. Haven't done anything in two days. Going good.

6. Funny after that I consoled in Fred as I was rather worried about Cassie and coincidentally he was nearby. He also threatened to beat her up but I said that wasn't necessary, he was nice to talk to and said I did the right thing in taking points and that I shouldn't be worried ( I was very worried. I'm very protective of Cassie. )

7. Grade is dropping in charms again. Hence why I've just came off a two hour charms revision sesh and Merlin am I tired.

That concludes the past few days rather nicely. Ta Ta. My hands hurt.

libby talks...originally this was gonna be two chapters but I was reeeeally struggling to write it so I kinda put it into one rather long chapter which I hope is okay?? I wrote this months ago oops sorry for inactivity lol😭
