"Now, students, as the late Albus Dumbledore would do each year, we shall sing our school song, however daft it may sound." she says, causing giggling from various students. "Don't worry if you don't know it, our new arrivals, just pick your own pace and tune and try to join in."

The older woman waves her wands and a golden ribbon is snaked from it, an emerald green snake protrudes from the wand and snakes itself into the words of the song.

The room starts at different paces.

Ginny and Ron's brothers had taught Calum and I the song and we sing it word for word proudly, in time with a few of the older years.

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
teach us something please
Whether we be old and bald or young with scabby knees.
Our heads could do with filling
With some nteresting stuff.
For now they're bare and full of air
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us things worth knowing.
Bring back what we forgot/
Just do your best, we'll do the rest
And learn until our brains all rot."

"And now time for bed. Go on." the older woman says.

Everyone leaves the Hall, the Head boy and Girl of each house leading thie first years to the Common Rooms.

"Calum!" a girl shouts.

He turns to see ...

"Jane, Ella! I'll catch you up Gracie," he says and walks to the Potter twins.

"I'm not jealous." I tell myself.

I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"How come your name came up as Diggory, when you know it's Weasley?"

It's Charlie.

The hairs on the back of my neck prickle in fear and I tense slightly.

I shrug anyway. "I don't know. Take it up with the Head." I say simply.

"Don't take that tone with me!" he says viciously and pushes me forcefully to the ground and hits me.

I stay there until he leaves with Hayley and I slowly get up, glare at his back, and walk away. I manage to find my way to the Common Room after an hour later, without crossing paths with my brother and his girlfriend, and walk in as a young boy says the password (Triwizard).

Don't ask me why it's that, I don't have a clue.

I walk in to see Calum kissing one of the Potter twins.

My heart breaks and I run up to the Girl's Dormitories and cry.

Well ... That's ... my third chapter of my life ...
join me soon xxxxxxxxxx

Chapter 4: First day

Hi again. Dunno what to say really, my life's a bit up and down ... Anyway, on with my life!

I wake up the next morning, my eyes are stinging, my pillow slightly wet, and I try to remember the night before's events.

I see the time which is 8:30. Snap! I have fifteen minutes to get ready and make it in time for class. My uniform is laid out on the edge of my bed, so I get undressed and put it on.

******************************

I gotta come offline in fifteen minutes, don't have time, sorry more soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

awww PAMS

I grab my bag and walk downstairs to the Common Room. When I get there I see Calum and smile at him.

He walks to me and hugs me.

"I'm sorry about yesturday." he says in my ear, his breath tickling my ear.

"Why? What happened?" I ask, really not remembering what happened.

************************************************

sorry gotta go, it's late xxxxxxxxxx

That was good! Loved it!

how cute PAMS

HELP I'M BEING BURIED BY COURSEWORK!! I'll post later today, at 12 midday i got to go out shopping for christmas so .... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cat: It would be great if you could try not to flam (type with capitals) as it can give an impression of shouting!

“What’s the last thing you remember?” he asks instantly noticing something wrong.

“Walking into the Common Room, a short blank space as though I blacked out and waking up in my dormitory.” I say simply, looking at him as though he were crazy.

He pales.

“What is it?” I ask.

“A memory charm has been cast on you.” He says after a bit.

Because mum and Ron don’t explain magic and the Wizarding World to me, and I don’t want to be impolite and ask Draco and Ginny, I look at him, confused.

“A what?” I ask him.

“A memory charm.” He says.

“What’s that?” I ask.

“A charm that can either give or take away all or parts of your memory.” He tells me.

I feel my legs give way and the world around me turn dark, as though someone’s crippled me and blindfolded me as I hit the stone floor.

Calum takes me in his arms. “Calum, hun, are you coming? Just leave her, she’s only asleep.” The Potter Twins say.

“No. She’s fainted and I’m taking her to the Hospital Wing.” He says.

“How are you going to get there? We’ve got the map and we’ve only been here a day.” The girls say slyly.

************************************************** *********************

that's all for now xxxxxxxxxxxxx

aww how sad..PAMS

i'll try and post at the weekend xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“My dad’s the potions teacher and my mum’s the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. I’ll ask them.” He says and takes off to the dungeons with me in his arms.

He finds a door labelled “Professor Malfoy’s office” and bursts in.

“Dad.” He says out of breath.

“What is it?” Draco asks.

Calum lays me on his dad’s desk. “She fainted … memory charm on her …” he stammers.

“Cal, calm sown son. Speak slowly.” Draco says.

Calum explains what happened. Draco casts Ennervate on me and I slowly wake up.

“I think one or both of the Potter twins are in on this. This is a serious matter.” Draco says.

“Says the person who was out to get my brother, his friends and I during our school years.” Ginny says walking out of the Storage Cupboard, making Draco pout. “Your brother’s been down for you Grace.”

“What did he want?” I ask, tensing up.

“Wondering why your name came up as Diggory and not Weasley.” She says.

“Did you know my dad?” I ask, changing the subject.

“Not exactly, but we did see him, I actually congratulated him on beating Potter in Quidditch.” Draco smirks.

“Yeah and his girlfriend at the time slapped you one, then went crying to Harry and Cheated on your dad.” Ginny says, a dark look crossing her face at the mention of one of dad’s girlfriends. “He only ever had two girlfriends which surprised me.”

“Pity he died though…” I whisper. “When did he die?”

“He was seventeen, I was fourteen.” Draco says.

“What did he look like?” I ask eager to know about him or at least know what he looked like.

“I’ve got a picture me and Hermione used to carry around with us. We both had one each.” Ginny says.

“Why the hell didn’t I know about this?! Why do you carry one of him anyway?” Draco asks, pouting.

“Because he was the only one you told me to believe in myself. He wasn’t that bad looking either.” She tells him.

Calum, Ginny and I laugh as Draco pretend to be upset. He in the end laughs with us.

Ginny takes her purse and shows me the picture of my dad. I watch the moving picture of him. He looks like he’s laughing with Hermione, his arms wrapped around her.

“They were the biggest, most talked about couple in Hogwarts eleven/twelve years ago. After his death, Hermione didn’t talk to anyone for weeks. It affected her that bad, his death.

************************************************** ********

last part of the chapter soon xxxxxxxxxxxxx

“They were the biggest, most talked about couple in Hogwarts eleven/twelve years ago. After his death, Hermione didn’t talk to anyone for weeks. It affected her that bad, his death. Cho, your motherm wanted revenge on her, for "stealing" Cedric away from her. He told Cho that he knew she was cheating on him. She forced him to make a decision of 'Which girl is it?' He chose Hermione over her." Ginny says.

"Every teenage girl fancied him, every adolescent boy envied him, even me." Draco laughs.

"Oh, so you actually had a heart and feeling back then, Draconis?" Ginny laughs. "Egotistical prat."

"We've ben talking for over an hour. We've all missed a lesson and half of the second." Draco says after a while.

"I'm going back to bed." I tell them and start to make my way back to the Common Room, Calum following.

"We haven't really had a first day have we?" he asks.

I curl up on the sofa in front of the flickering flames of the fire. "No not really."

He sits on the floor nxt to me and holds me close to him.

I close my eyes and relax in his arms.

"Calum."

"Yeah?"

"Are we ok? As in us?" I ask, meaning our relationship, if there is one.

"Yeah, why wouldn't we be? We're best friend's right?"

"Just friends?" I whisper, harly hearing myself say it.

"Huh?" he asks.

"Nothing. It's about earlier. You said sorry for something. What was it?" I ask.

************************************************** *************************

I know I said this was the last bit, but i lied, sorry xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx more tomorrow

great posts! PAMS

I feel Calum tense up.

"Cal, what are you keeping?" I ask.

"Um ..." he trails off.

"What?" I ask.

"Ella and I ... we ... we er ..."

"You and Ella what?" I ask gently.

"I kissed her!" he says

I feel my heart crumble. "Wh-what?" I ask, not believing it.

"Come on! It's not like we have to be at the hip twenty-four-seven! You're so clingy it's unreal! No wonder no-one likes you!!" he shouts.

I'm taken aback. Mum's words burning me, Calum's words breaking me. My heart has now stopped beating (or that's what it feels like.) and I get up. I get off the sofa and walk up to my dormitory.

**FLASHBACK ONE YEAR**

"What's got you happy? You souldn't be happy." mum says.

"I think I'm in love mummy..." I say happily.

"You're only ten. You know nothing of it!" mum tells me.

"Love knows no age." I tell her.

"Where did you hear such rubbish?" she exclaims.

"Ginny told me!" I shout. "And it's not rubbish!"

"You couldn't and won't get a boy to like or notice you even if you had surgery or had a bag over your head!!" she snaps.

She always tells me this. I believe her. But Calum says different. I go out to the back garden and get my broom from the broom cupboard.

**END OF FLASHBACK**

Her words echo in my head.

As she always said besides that, Calum would pick me up and drop me again.

My pride is too damaged and I give in to know she's right.

To be told I'm ugly by my mum I can handle, sort of. But to be told by my best friend and crush the same thing in not so many words ... I have to get out.

I grab my notebook and pen and walk out of the dormitory and into the common room.

"Oh, look. Here's the attention seeker." Ella says to ger sister and Calum and they laugh.

"I'm glad to get shot of her. She's so annoying. Not pretty at all. I only told her that so I could break her in the end." Calum says.

My heart stops again. Tears prickle my eyes. I walk out and start crying.

I don't stop walking until I reach what looks like a dead end. Soon I see a door appear on the wall and I walk in. The room is black, dark.

I try and look for a switch and the scenery suddenly turns to that of my dreams. A beautiful sunset with a bench near me, the tide swaying backwards and forward across the golden ground of sand.

I sit on the bench and start writing a song.



I'll tell you my song soon.

Hope to see you for the next chapter of my life

Grace Emmeline Diggory.

awwww how sad... PAMS

before I begin this chapter, the song is Delta Goodrem's Lost Without you. It is NOT mine.
Thanks for taking note of this disclaimer. Now On with the story!
__________________________________________________ ____________

Chapter 5: Lost Without you.

Hi again. Last time I left you, I said I'd show you my song. So here we go...

I look at my book, and read over the words before I did anything else. I sing it to myself.

I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
A little righteous and too proud
I just want to find a way to compromise
Cos I believe that we can work things out

I thought I had all the answers never giving in
But baby since you've gone I admit that I was wrong

All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How my going to be strong without you I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye don't know what I'd do ...I'm
lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you

How my ever gonna get rid of these blues
Baby I'm so lonely all the time
Everywhere I go I get so confused
You're the only thing that's on my mind

Oh my beds so cold at night and I miss you more each day
Only you can make it right no I'm not too proud to say

All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How my going to be strong without you I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye don't know what I'd do ...I'm
lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you

If I could only hold you now and make the pain just go away
Can't stop the tears from running down my face
Oh

All I know is I'm lost without you I'm not gonna lie
How my going to be strong without you I need you by my side
If we ever say we'll never be together and we ended with goodbye don't know what I'd do ...I'm
lost without you
I keep trying to find my way but all I know is I'm lost without you
I keep trying to face the day I'm lost without you

As I sing it, images of Calum and I and the times we spent together flash through my mind and reflect themselves on the wall of the room.

I wipe away my tears.

There you go, yet another chapter of my life. I'll show more of my creative side soon. Fare thee well till next time

Grace Emmeline Diggory.

Chapter 6: Calum tells and Grace makes a friend.

Hi, last time I left, I was showing you my song... On with the sixth chapter of my life...

After a while I walk out of the weird room. I accidentally bump into a short, pale boy with dirty blonde hair. His brown eyes wide with fear and flitting around wildly, scared.

"I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" I ask.

The boy nods, trembling. He whispers a small "Sorry."

"Don't be." I say gently. "I'm Grace. Grace Diggory. Who are you?" I ask, sparking conversation, if I could, anyway.

"M-Mark..." he mumbles. "M-Mark F-Finnegan. P-please s-say yo-you're n-not a Sl-Slytherin." he stammers.

"Don't worry I'm not. I'm a Gryffindor." I tell him, showing him my badge.

"M-me too..." he whispers. I breifly see his badge. It's identical to mine.

"What's happened Mark? Do you want to talk about it?" I ask. He seems to have waited for it and he collapses on to me, bursting into frightful tears.

"Slytherins ... Flew me on brooms... Don't like heights... kept threatening to drop me..." he manages to choke out, and soaks my shirt and neck with his tears.

I stand against the wall, mortified. I hold onto him, comforting him. Here was a seriously scared boy with really bad vertigo, not the strongest person in the world at the moment. And jerks like the Slytherins have to mock him about it! it could've been Calum who joined in if he were in Slytherin ...

"Do you want to stay with me? I doubt anyone, no less the Slytherins, will do anything if someone's with you." I say.

Mark nods.

"Come on, lets get back to the Common Room before someone catches us."" we smile at each other and make our way back to the Common Room.

We dodge Draco twice, Mr Filch's cat four times, Mr Filch three times and the Bloody Baron a whole six times!

"Where have you been?" Calum asks when we enter the Common Room.

"Out. Anyway what does it matter to you?" I ask.

"I care about you funnily enough." he says.

"Yeah, right."

"Look, I'm sorry about earlier."

"Too late for sorries now, Calum Lucius Malfoy!" I shout.

He loses his temper and pushes over a table by the chair he's near.

I get scared and run out up the stairs with Mark.

"You keep putting on the poor little victim act! Where do I stand!" he shouts, walking slowly up the stairs.

I don' know what to tell him. Remember when I said mum hates me? I meant it. I'm scared of her most of the time, because there's one part of me that only stays alive for Calum. Now I don't have him, all of my happiness and life will be crushed from me until I'm a mere shadow of my former self. I don't get hit by her. She just starves me. She leaves the violence to my brother.

Calum walks up to me now.

Mark goes to the Boys' Dormitories. I shrink down against the wall.

"Cal, don't ..." I whisper, curling slightly to defend what blow may come.

"Nothing to say now, eh?" he snarls.

I want to tell him what I have to go through, why I prefer his parents than my own. He won't believe me. Well, here goes ...

"Cal, please. I need to tell you something." I whisper.

"What?" his voice cuts through like ice surronding me.

"My mum ..." I trail off.

"What's she apparently done now?"

After what seems like a long wait of contemplating, "She starves me, gets my brother to hurt me and she hates me." I say and curl up into a ball now. I daren't look up.

He stares at me. Seeing my shaking form he decides I'm telling the truth. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me close.

"I'm sorry." he says.

"Do you mean it?" I ask, still not looking up.

"Yeah." he says.

I cautiously look up and wrap my arms around him.
