Journal: Harry-Hermione
07:42 Hermione: You need to send Dad a letter. He is freaking out about not knowing which house you are in.
08:16 Harry: Tell him I'm a Hufflepuff.
Journal: Draco-Hermione
08:18 Hermione: Harry didn't really get sorted into Hufflepuff, right?
08:18 Hermione: Please tell me he didn't. Dad is going to be a nightmare to live with if he did.
08:20 Hermione: Oh, and which house did you get sorted into??
08:22 Draco: Of course, he didn't get Hufflepuff. He's a Gryffindor. And I'm obviously a Slytherin.
08:23 Hermione: I knew it. I'm so happy for you!!!
08:23 Hermione: How is everything?
08:23 Hermione: Have you gotten any friends?
08:24 Hermione: Are the teachers friendly?
08:24 Hermione: How's the library?
08:27 Draco: Woah. Calm down.
08:27 Draco: I've been here for approximately 12 hours. How about I answer some of those questions after I actually get to see the place? Huh?
08:27 Hermione: Boo, you suck
08:27 Draco: At this point and time, all I can inform you of is that Daphne and Pansy got sorted into Slytherin
08:28 Hermione: That's brilliant! Tell them congratulations from me.
Journal: Harry-Hermione
08:28 Hermione: Thank Merlin, that was a joke.
08:29 Harry: Draco?
08:29 Hermione: Mhmh.
08:30 Hermione: Congratulation on Gryffindor!! But send Dad that letter. I can't deal with him anymore.
08:30 Hermione: How are you feeling? Happy?
08:30 Harry: I wrote one this morning. It should be there soon.
08:31 Harry: I'm so relieved. I feel closer to my parents somehow.
08:31 Harry: I like knowing I get to experience Hogwarts the same way they did
08:31 Hermione: I get that
08:31 Hermione: I think they're happy for you. You know, from beyond the veil
08:32 Hermione: Have you gotten any friends?
08:32 Harry: Yeah, I like my housemates. There are three other boys in my year that got sorted into Gryffindor.
08:33 Harry: Ron is one of them
08:33 Harry: I'm sharing a dorm with him and two other guys named Seamus and Dean. They seem great.
08:40 Hermione: Ron is annoying.
08:40 Harry: Stop it. He is fun.
08:41 Hermione: He idolises you, Harry!
08:41 Harry: He does not!
08:41 Harry: You're annoying.
08:41 Harry: You only dislike him because Draco dislikes him.
08:42 Hermione: Whatever.
08:42 Hermione: I have to go. I'm leaving with Aunt Cissa to visit Neville.
08:42 Hermione: Have the best day.
08:43 Harry: Same. I'm about to leave for charms
08:43 Harry: Say hello to Aunt Cissa for me.
08:43 Harry: And Neville
08:43 Harry: I'll write you later.
Journal: Draco-Hermione
20:37 Draco: Hermione!
20:48 Draco: How has your day been?
21:03 Hermione: I had a great day, actually. I spent the day with Neville and your mum.
21:03 Hermione: We had fun. He's fun.
21:04 Draco: Plantboy?
21:05 Hermione: Stop calling him that!
21:05 Draco: He's a weirdo, Hermione.
21:06 Hermione: He's not. He's creative and funny.
21:06 Draco: Ugh.
21:06 Draco: Please don't tell me you have a crush on plantboy.
21:07 Hermione: Ew. I'm 9, Draco.
21:07 Hermione: And be nice.
21:08 Draco: I'm always nice
21:08 Draco: And you do have a crush on your Dad's boss, so it's not like it's impossible for you to have a crush
21:08 Draco: which, by the way, is disturbing, considering he is like old
21:08 Hermione: Shut up. I do not.
21:08 Draco: Yeah, right. That's why you get all red-faced and wide-eyed when he's around?
21:09 Hermione: I do not have a crush on John!
21:09 Draco: So, it's John, huh?
21:09 Hermione: Bugger off. Do you want to talk about Daphne's mum?
21:10 Draco: Okay, I'll drop it.
21:10 Draco: She is fit though
21:10 Hermione: *Eyeroll*
21:10 Hermione: Anyway
21:10 Hermione: Neville's coming over next weekend, and we're going to plant stuff in the garden.
21:10 Hermione: Kreacher even seemed excited about it.
21:11 Hermione: Well, he said he was tired of buying beets and didn't mind growing them himself instead.
21:12 Draco: You're right. That does sound fun!
21:12 Hermione: You're being sarcastic, right?
21:12 Hermione: It's hard to tell through paper.
21:13 Draco: You really are as bright as they say you are.
21:14 Hermione: And you really do suck. Did you know that?
21:14 Draco: Stop being a baby.
21:15 Hermione: Stop being a prick.
21:16 Draco: I'm glad you had fun and that you have someone to hang out with
21:17 Hermione: It really was fun.
21:18 Hermione: How was your first day?
21:18 Draco: It was good. My housemates are likeable, and I even had a class with Harry. Granted, it was Herbology, but at least I have some lessons with him.
21:19 Draco: And the castle is fantastic. You'll love it. The common room is under the lake. The view is brilliant. You would love it. The older students even say that the giant squid sometimes swims by, and you can see it.
21:20 Hermione: That does sound amazing.
21:20 Draco: Hopefully, you will be a Slytherin and can see for yourself
21:20 Hermione: I think Dad would disown me
21:21 Draco: Who cares? Father would support you.
21:21 Hermione: True. Harry says the view from Gryffindor Tower is fantastic, though
21:22 Draco: You can see that view from any of the towers. You can only see the lake from the Slytherin common room.
21:22 Hermione: You do make a great sales pitch. I'll give you that.
21:22 Hermione: I've got to go to bed.
21:22 Hermione: I'm glad you had a good first day.
21:22 Hermione: Sleep well.
21:23 Draco: Sleep well, little one.
21:23 Draco: See you soon.
15 . September 1991
Journal: Harry-Hermione
Harry: Question? Would it be correct to say that the difference between the levitation charm and the hover charm is the hand movement?
Hermione: No.
Hermione: Or, they do have distinguishable hand movements. But they are two essentially different charms. The hover charm makes the target hover, while the levitation charm makes the target fly.
Harry: Thanks. Do you have any other fun facts about the levitation charm, perhaps?
Hermione: Did you know that the incantation "Wingardium Leviosa" is a composite word derived from the English word "wing", meaning
Hermione: Wait...
Hermione: Harry?
Harry: Yes, sweet sister of mine?
Hermione: Are you making me do your homework?
Harry: Maybe?
Harry: Would you? Since you're my best friend in the entire world?
Harry: And you love me?
Hermione: Fine.
Hermione: But only because I'm bored at home without you, and Dad refuses to let me study more. He says I have to "have fun" and be a child or whatever.
Hermione: And I'll write in some mistakes, so you'll have to find them and correct them yourself.
Hermione: That way, you'll actually learn something as well.
Harry: You're my favourite person.
Hermione: Yeah, yeah! Send me the assignment.

Hermione: Miss you too!
Hermione: I've been eating the candy you guys sent me all morning. I feel so alive.
Draco: You're such a weirdo.
Draco: What did Harry get you?
Hermione: I get to choose two different historical sites we will visit over the holidays.
Hermione: And he won't be complaining.
Draco: Hogwash. That's a good one.
Draco: Is it better than a personalised brewing kit?
Hermione: Don't tell Harry, but no. Yours is way better.
Draco: And the earrings?
Hermione: Love them! Thank you!
Journal: Harry-Hermione

Hermione: You're mean.
Hermione: Love you. Have a great day!
