I have a brilliant idea. This will finally get some of the nosy people I have met out of my hair and my business.
I am not sure if it will go over well...with him but it's worth a shot.
I mean what is there to lose?
Ginny I need to talk to you ASAP.
Meet me for lunch tomorrow?
Text message your answer to my mobile.
current mood:  working

9:46 am - [private entry]
|
Well I have some interesting news...
When I finally found some free time in my schedule I went to visit new health store that had opened in town.
Walking in there made me feel like a kid in a candy store. There were an impressive amount of products for sale, some brands I have heard of (or bought before) and some I have never even seen until now. The only disappointment was that I couldn't find my favorite brand of tofu. I wasn't sure if they carried it or not but just to double check I sought help from the manager.
The manager...looked rather familiar. Then it hit me!
Why it was none other than my old Potions Professor! (I dare not say his name here just to be extra cautious)
I was shocked...and amazed. He has to be the last person I imagined to be running a health food store. He recognized me, too, daresay he didn't seem remotely excited.
Well he never was quite fond of me as a student (I think it was because of my house and my choice of mates) but that was many, many years ago.
After I asked to speak to him, he led me in the backroom and we talked for a few moments there. Like me, he has changed his name and his lifestyle for his own protection. After all there days you can never be too safe...or too sure.
Of course he physically hasn't changed too much, though it was interesting seeing him dressed in regular clothes rather than robes. He still had the same snarky, sarcastic attitude covered by a calm, cool exterior. Funny...those are the characteristics that I loathed about him back in school and yet now I find him them comforting.
Have I been isolated from my old world for that long? So long in fact that any familiar face, any familiar voice, no matter who it's from...is like a little slice of heaven?
Perhaps.
I think I'll go back to visit him again tomorrow (and do a little more grocery shopping.)

11:52 am - It's been a while...
|
I must apologise it's been a while since updated this blog.
I hardly have time to get on the internet anymore...and even when I do I always feel so paranoid. It's so easy to trace a person's cookie drive. I suppose I just have to be extra cautious and make sure to clear it every time I log on.
Anyway not much as been going on around here. My parents and I moved to an all muggle neighborhood (I dare not say where in case someone breaks into this entry). I live with them and I continue to work full time as a researcher. I move around from company to company which is nice, because it gives me experience in all sorts of areas. Right now I am working for the human genome sciences. My department is part of a larger company that covers all fields of Biology.
I really like the field which I am working for right now. Human genetics are fascinating, and I am learning loads! I am especially interested in genetic engineering. In the little free time I have I am reading a book called Improving Nature? by Michael Jonathan Reiss and Roger Straughan. It explores the ethical issues surrounding the issue. It's quite an interesting read.
In other news it's been a really long time since I have had contact with Harry, Ron, Ginny, or any of my old school mates. With everything that's going on...it's just been too risky to keep in touch. Now I got this owl from Harry a few days ago. He wants us to all figure out a way to meet up at Ginny's restaurant, he says it's urgent.
I don't think it's a good idea for so many of us to get together...especially in a public place. But if it's urgent then I don't think I have a choice. I am so worried! I hope everything is okay.
I suppose I'll find out soon enough.
On a lighter note a new health food store opened in a town nearby. It's so close I can walk to it. This of course is very good news. A health food store will carry better brands of tofu, soy milk, and other vegetarian products than a generic super market does. I think I'll go have a look for myself later today on my way home from work.
Mum would love it if I made tofu meatballs for our past dish tonight.

8:08 pm - How the tables have turned...
|
I had a long talk with Ginny this morning. It seems like things have taken a turn for the better. She confirmed that the rumors about Ron having an affair with Draco are false. I expected that they were untrue all along...but still I can help but to feel extremely relieved upon hearing Ginny confirm this. It's all Draco fault...that arrogant bastard! All he wanted was to tarnish Ron's reputation. As if he hasn't already done enough damage over the four and a half years...
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I have come to the conclusion that it is silly I stopped talking to Ron. So maybe he doesn't have any romantic feelings for me, but that doesn't mean he will stop being my friend. The truth is miss him, and I miss Harry too. It's just not the same when you are alone. I am so sick of feeling sorry for myself. I think later today I will try to confront Harry and Ron. I hope they can find it in their hearts to accept me back in their circle of friendship...

12:41 am - How could you Ron Weasley?
|
I bumped into Ron today, on my way back from the library. He actually made eye contact with me. There was so much I wanted to say to him..but when I opened my mouth to speak I chocked on my words. What's the point. He hasn't spoken to me for weeks now...not since I confronted him.
I don't know what made me do it. So many pent up emotions...I guess it was only a matter of time until I came out with the truth. I should have known he didn't feel the same way. How could he ever love me like I loved him? There's no doubt...he acted like a jealous boyfriend when I went to the Yule Ball with Viktor. I thought maybe there was something there...maybe there was a chance. I guess I thought wrong.
Had I only known that this would come in between our friendship I would have held my tongue. But it's too late now. I don't blame hom for running away, things just became to ackward...too complicated. Some things are just better left unsaid.
Everyone at school is talking about the affair Ron had with Draco. To be honest I have a hard time buying it. Not that Ron might be gay, but even if he is why would he want Draco? Draco is his worst enemy. I doubt that he forgot that so easily. After all those nasty thing Draco said about Ron's family... And what about Harry? It's been a while since I have spoken to him as well. I don't have to wonder what he thinks about this whole Draco issue, I am sure he is less then thrilled. Draco is such a stuck-up prick! Ronald Weasley how could you do this to Harry? How could you do this to me?

Another Valentines day has come and gone...
I am alone, but that comes as no surprise. There's a lot of work to be done. It's best that I am not bothered.
