You Have Bewitched me, Body and Soul
[Private]
Oh, God. Did I really say yes? I think I did, though I have no idea what I was thinking when I said it. James Potter. He's really not so bad, I suppose. He's sort of proven himself, with those poems. Those were beautiful poems, really. I was honestly surprised when I found out that he wrote them. He's never seemed especially creative to me, but those were his. Those were completely and totally his, and it made me realize that he really deserved a chance.
Dating him isn't like marrying him, or anything. It's just a chance, just the chance that he deserves for me to give him. But there have been a few things that have made me nervous since I agreed, like the way he talks about Sirius. I thought he was joking, but he told me that he would kiss him, and that's more than a little bit squicky. I mean, they're best friends, they're guys, I'm dating one of them, it doesn't seem normal.
You know what? I'm going to let him tell people. I've thought about it, and I'm going to let him. I shouldn't care so much about what other people think. I should just get over it and... but I can't not care. I don't know. Ever since I arrived at this school, it's like I've had to prove that I'm just as good at magic as the pureblooded witches and wizards who won't hear it because I'm a muggleborn. I can't show weakness, I can't screw up, I can't be wrong, or it's like they were right. And I was wrong about James, but I don't know if I'm ready to admit it just yet.
They'll find out soon enough. I'll tell them.

Dorcas - I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I'm ready to do that interview when you are.
It has officially become absolutely impossible to get anything done at this school. Everywhere you go, there are people talking about the dance, comparing notes on their dresses, comparing notes on the boys they're going with or considering going with, consoling eachother on dates that didn't work out, it's mad. It's honestly mad. I'll almost be glad when it's over. It seems like the students are putting almost as much planning into this thing as the planning crew, which consists of James and I.
Just a dance, kids. Have fun.
