CHLOE'S DIARY

[Chloe Nott]

Dear Diary,

So, diary, my life is pretty darn awesome right now, I'm not going to lie. The school has suddenly exploded with drama, and you know how much I love drama, right? Drama = gossip and nothing beats a good piece of gossip.

I'd list everything that's going on, but frankly there's far too much of it. All that's interesting enough for me to write about in here is that Rose is going out with Kaycee O' Malley (I know! I was surprised too!) and Dominique punched Scorp in the face. I don't want to take sides on that one - Scorpius might be my cousin, but knowing him he probably deserved it.

Bigger news is that Scorpius slept with Roxanne. As in, Roxanne Weasley. Well, that's the rumour, anyhow. And he might not have actually slept with her, but he might have done. I can't tell who's more surprised about it - me, Scorpius, or Roxanne. The Weasleys all seem pretty mad at him, plus most of Rox's friends. I kind of want to be mad at him - but he's my cousin and he may be a douche but I love him to pieces anyway, so maybe I should be mad at Rox. But, frankly, I can't decide and it's too much effort so I'm just going to try to stay out of it.

Seb is being... well, Seb. There's rumours going around about him and a million girls, so I don't know which ones to believe. He's also starting smoking again. It really worries me, because he knows how bad they are for him and how dead he is if Mum and Dad find out, but he won't listen when I tell him to stop. I'm really nervous about him, diary, I don't want him getting sick.

Damien is happily ensconsed with Aggy, and they're so happy together I bet they'll get married and start pumping out little blonde kids the second they leave Hogwarts. It'll certainly shock Uncle Draco and Aunt Astoria, Damien hooking up with a Hufflepuff - but then he's been friends with that Lo girl for a while, so maybe they'll take it better than you'd think.

As for Ella... fuck it, diary, I'm terrified about her. Scorp told me that she's got bulimia, and I feel so dreadful because I hadn't even noticed. She's just so thin and she could get really properly ill. I don't know whether we should tell her parents about it, because then they could get her some proper treatment. But I don't want to meddle any more than possible because - yeah, alright, I meddle in a lot of things that aren't my business, but she's my baby cousin and she means the world to me, okay? I just don't know what to do.

And, in my life - EXCELLENT NEWS, diary! I have a boyfriend! He's called Camden Phillips and he's best mates with Rose's boyfriend Kaycee. He's the most incredible guy - he's so sweet and kind and understand and he's a really good influence on me, because he's a prefect. I want to introduce him to my whole family but -- well, it's kind of difficult, because he's not exactly the kind of person my parents woudl be thrilled about. I mean, seriously, he's the loveliest guy ever and I can't believe I'm lucky enough to be going out with him. But he's got a kind of difficult past and, obviously I don't care about it, but I'm not sure Mum and Dad - and possibly Seb and Damien and Scorp - will be able to see past it. I'm just going to enjoy being with him for now, and deal with all that stuff later, I guess.

Jo and Rose keep calling us Aladdin and Jasmine, which would annoy me if I know what it meant.

I've been brushing up on my Muggle terms and stuff so I don't look like a complete idiot whenever we go out - one of the Gryffindor seventh years, called Aria, is a muggleborn and we were both alone in the common room the other night so she taught me some. I know some great Muggle curses now!

I'd better stop writing now, else I'll be late for defence.

Oh, and I lost my wand again. I think I might have left it in the Great Hall, I'll have to go see if I can find it.

Dear Diary,

Today I organised all my books.

I think hell has frozen over.

Love from Chloe

p.s. I still haven't found my wand.

Dear Diary,

OWLs suck, Diary. I mean like really truly and royally suck. They're so boring! Seriously, that kind of boring where it's so dull it actually hurts a little bit. And I kept getting hand cramp halfway through the written papers. I did have the bright idea of giving my wand to Professor Hewer to look after in between my exams. It's a pretty snazzy set-up, I cannot lie. I go to fetch it right before the exam and then return to him straight after so I can't lose it! Cool, right?

What with exams and all, there's very little in the way of gossip to report. I am informed that Professor Stiger the potions guy and Professor McGonagall, bee-keeper, are doing it on the sly, but I'm not sure whether I believe that yet. It's weird to think about teachers having sex anyway. I try to avoid doing that.

On the subject of sex, I had a dream last night that Rose and Jo were lesbians and that I walked in on them having girl sex on my bed. I can't really look at my bed in the same way ever again. I haven't told them yet, I'm not quite sure how they'll take it. It did make me laugh for a good ten minutes when I woke up - and, besides, I can't be held responsible for my subconsciousness, can I?

Anyway, to move away from the subject of sex, lesbian or otherwise, I'm thinking of dying my hair. Actually, I'll probably just use this charm I read in Witch Weekly so I can just go straight back to my normal colour if I don't like it. I'll do it over the holidays, maybe I'll get lucky and Mum will see it and have a heart attack and send me to stay with Scorpius and Damien and Ella, if she's back by then. I'd miss Dad, though, even if he's still not budging on the tiger front. And Seb, despite his recent penchant for hiding in the dungeons being angsty. I'm not sure how he'll manage at home, we don't have any dungeons. Well, we've got the cellar, but I don't think he'll consider it quite the same.

Camden and I are doing fine - brilliantly, in fact! - and I'm thinking about inviting him to stay for a bit over the holidays so he can meet Mum and Dad. I'm not sure whether he'll want to come but what's the harm in asking?

Right, I'm going to go because I'm bored and I want to make a cup of tea to take to DADA. Actually, I'd better make three - me and Letty and Lysander are still on a mission to prove that our side of the classroom is cooler and if we have tea we will be automatically more amazing.
