[ OOC:

Hey everyone!

Wow, it really has been a while since I've written a real entry as Hermione. I won't lie, there are times that I've really missed all of this -especially when a new movie or book comes out. A couple of weeks ago I seriously considered coming back but then thought better of it. The truth is, as much as I love rping with the last book out I feel like Hermione's journey is complete and there really isn't anymore to say. Unlike most people, I loved the epilogue because it gave me the closure I craved for. And of course, Hermione and Ron got their happy ending.

So I guess that this is goodbye. Even though I haven't talked to a lot of you for quite sometime this is still really hard to say because I have so many great memories here. You guys made my summers worth while and for that I thank you. The Harry Potter books will always be my favorite and years from now when I'm feeling nostalgic and decide to re-read one, not only will I think of the great story I'm about to read but of the great friends I made along the way who loved the books just as much as I did.

I wish you all the best.
Peace.

Love from Laura]

[I still haven't finished the book! I bet they'd have me arrested over in the UK for this..]

And as usual, Christmas has come and gone so quickly! This is the first year I’ve spent my Christmas holidays away from Harry and the Weasleys since way back in first year.

Not that I wouldn’t have liked to spend it with the Weasleys. But honestly , how could I? With Ron acting like such a git all of the time.. Him and that Lavender Brown, snogging all over the place! It’s indecent to say the very least. He infuriates me so much some times. And Harry. Poor Harry. He doesn't know what to do with the both of us. But I’m sure he has other things on his mind.. He won't admit it but I have a feeling that he has a crush on certain red head. If he could only see the way he gets when he talks to Ginny..

My parents were very happy to have me especially with all the strange things going on in the muggle world. Of course they know that all the strange going ons have something to do with magic but it’s still frightening for them none the less. I’m going to hate having to leave them to return to school...

Not that I don’t want to return to Hogwarts. Believe me, we've only been out of class for a few days but it's felt like an eternity!

Love from Hermione

[ooc: This is Hermione’s first serious entry in I don't know how long! I hope it’s good.
D, Laur and myself have created a ring (Wisteria Walk) based on the 6^th year. It’s brand new so there are lots of characters available, join! I got so excited about rping again that I re-read the ending half (from pages 300 something on) of the sixth book tonight. I’m such a nerd…ANYWAY, if you love me, um, US, you'll join the ring. -Laura]
