Dear Diary,
I wish Harry would tell me what's wrong. He's been acting so...weird. First, at Quiddich practice, he was so tense. Then, there was that incident where he helped Candi Summers out with her Charms work. I wouldn't be suspicous, but it took them THREE hours. Now, that's a little too long for me. Pavarti has the same problem with Draco. I'm talking about it with her today...

"Hey Pavarti, ready to go?"

"More than ready girl, let's get out of here."

Pavarti and Hermione went out the portrait hole, and walked to the courtyard. They had special permission from Dumbledore and McGonagal to go to Hogsmeade. Hermione felt it was necessary. They skipped to where their ride was. Hermione stopped short.

"H-h-horses?"

"YES!" Pavarti shouted, and hugged one of the animals. It blew onto her head. Hermione looked at hers nervously. "Haven't you ridden before? I thought it would be a nice change from the carriage rides." Pavarti swung herself into the saddle.

"Oh...oh sure." Hermione scrambled on hers, and promptly slid off and hit the floor with a THUD. She got up, groaning. But she was able to mount, and soon they were off.

"Let's canter Hermione!"

"What?" Pavati spurred her horse on. The animal happily obliged, and cantered away. Hermione's horse, not wanting to be left behind, swung itself into a full gallop, in order to catch up. They crested a large hill, overlooking the Lake. Hermione began to lose her balance. She screamed. "HELP PAVARTI! I'M FALLING!"

"What? HERMIONE!" Pavarti turned her horse, and galloped to Hermione. Hermione fell, and began to roll. SHe kept rolling. And rolling. Soon, she went over the hill, and into the Lake. Pavarti dismounted and followed.

Hermione was sent tumbling into the Lake. She got up, spluttering. She heard voices. Hermione turned, and saw in the distance...Draco, Candi, and....HARRY??

"P-P....Pavarti..."

"What is it 'Mione?" Pavarti arrived, breathless, and helped Hermione up. "What should I be looking at?"

"THEM." Hermione said, and pointed. Pavarti's eyes followed, and her heart stopped.

"....Draco..." She murmered. They watched.

They were having a water fight. Harry and Candi versus Draco, it seemed. Draco was cheating, and using his wand. Candi and Harry laughed. Draco sent a wave towards them, and Harry and Candi were lifted onto it. They landed, a few feet away, Candi in Harry's arms. Harry carried her over to Draco, and both proceeded to throw Candi far out into the Lake.

"WELL, AREN'T YOU THREE HAVING A GOOD TIME!" Pavarti shrieked, and they turned, noticing them. Harry turned a bright red when he saw Hermione, but Draco was calm. Draco swam towards Pavarti.

"Hey hun, how's it-"

"Why are you with her? You said you were working on your spells." Pavarti was close to tears. Draco took her in his arms.

"I did, Love. Then Harry and Candi were going swimming, and I was invited. I was tired from studying, and decided to tag along. I also practiced in the water, did you see my wave?" Pavarti nodded dumbly. "Well, there's my practice at work."
"But....what about Harry? Where did he go?" Hermione looked around. "Candi's not here either."

"That, 'Mione...I couldn't tell you. But he has some explaining to do, I can see."

"Tell us what they were doing Draco. Please?" Pavarti pleaded to Draco, and he relented.

"Well, they were going swimming, but before....maybe I shouldn't say."

"PLEASE Draco." Hermione grabbed him by the shoulders. "I have a right to know, I'm his girlfriend."

"Oh, all right. They were in the library, having...an intimate discussion."

Hermione drew away from him. She looked all around, as if confused.

"No....not Harry....Harry doesn't....he wouldn't....cheat on me?? He's my boyfriend...there's no way..."

Hermione backed away and ran. From Pavarti, from Draco, from Hogwarts. She hid by the Forbiddon Forest, crying her heart and soul out. Suddenly, she heard a noise. Then, a loud cry. She stood up, frightened. They thing was running now. It entered her clearing. Hermione gasped at what she saw...

Nope! Not telling!
