I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

That is NOT GREGORY.

There is no way. Gregory wouldn't know what half those words meant, let alone how to spell them.

I hope he doesn't get in horrible trouble. Not that I especially like him, but -- do you suppose he dropped his journal as he was getting off the train?

Though I'm thinking about it and he can't possibly have done. I mean only people who USE their journals carry them on the train ride, and I'd have thought Goyle's would be at the bottom of his trunk.

Except

Hermione. Did YOU take it? You live in Slytherin and you go in that dorm sometimes and he'd never have missed it.

NO! I wouldn't be that stupid! Only - if you thought I did maybe somebody else will.

Sally-Anne, you need to tell Harry about this right away. I can't, he'll - I mean it would look suspicious, and it would just be - well you know they absolutely can't Legilimise me, they just can't, we can't let them!

[alt_sally_anne]

No. No. You're right.

Can you make sure he reads his journal soon? Because I don't have an owl (and that won't get there fast enough anyway).

[alt_hermione]

Yes. He will. I'll tell him.

[alt_sally_anne]

I wrote to him.

[alt_hermione]

Well you did something right because he sat me down and told me about things very seriously, like he was trying to be really mature and take care of me or something, and I think he really meant it, so I think he'll help us at least. And I told him I was scared of the Lestranges and I was scared of magic on my mind and he said 'I won't let them mess with your mind Hermione, don't worry,' so.

Oh, thank Merlin.

I was a little worried I'd make things worse. I mean I wanted him to know people might blame you but not make HIM blame you and ... well I'm glad it worked.
