[The Journal Of Hermione Jean Granger]
19 September
So this is what its like to be twenty-two. It doesn't feel different from twenty-one on the outside but it feels like a lifetime on the inside. When did I get so old?
I've squirreled myself away in the library for now. Too many people were wishing me well and there was only so many smiles I could give. I can't seem to keep from thinking about what we're going to be doing this weekend and I want to scream at myself for having doubts.
Because I'm having them.
Luna came by early this morning -- any earlier and I wouldn't have been able to answer the door, occupied as we were -- carting Susan and Terry's cat with her. She's been watching out for that poor animal ever since Susan was taken. I think she's been watching out for Terry too, bless her, when no one else has the time to check on him.
I don't know what she knows or what I can say to her. But her birthday wish was the first and her gift was words instead of things. "You succeed so much more often than you fail and for that I am glad you are my friend."
Strange. Yet welcome.
I expect others will be by. There are still a few who haven't said anything. Ron's got some plan, but I don't know what it is.
Today, more than ever, I miss my parents.
Are they thinking about me today?
