It's been a long but productive day and I don't feel a bit sleepy tonight. I do feel relieved at coming to some major decisions on what I want to do with my life.

I guess, I was feeling adrift, and not really sure of where I should go. I mean it's always been about me following Harry and protecting him. I wasn't sure what to do if I wasn't helping Harry. Now, I feel a bit more confident about the future and about where I'm going with my life. I'm proud of the fact that while I asked for advice this decision was mine and mine alone.

It was brilliant seeing Neville again and he reminded me that I probably ought to apologize to Lavender. I really didn't mean to hurt her and I shouldn't have hooked up with her to begin with. It was just-well I was at a real low point. I just felt like Hermione didn't have any confidence in me and I reacted without thinking.

So I sent off an owl of apology to Lavender. I'm not sure she'll accept it and I know I'd be hard pressed to do it if I were her. Hopefully, if Harry, Hermione, and I decide to stay at Neville's place during our NEWTs it will make things easier.

I also realized I'd never properly thanked Luna for helping us to save Hermione. I was simply going mad in that damn cellar.

The events in Malfoy Manor have been haunting me since I got the owl summoning me to testify at the Malfoy trial. It's not so much that I have to testify it's the memory of Hermione's screams that haunt me. Sometimes late at night I can still hear her screaming. I've never felt so helpless in my entire life.

Where was I…I was talking about decisions. I am going to take my NEWTs-Percy, Bill, and Charlie were a great help with this. I mean I really listened to what they all had to say and it makes sense. I'm not going to tell anyone about wanting to be an Auror until the NEWT results are in. I don't want to make a fool out of myself by telling Harry and Hermione what I want to do and then not be able to do it.

I'm still worried about the character tests. I really let Harry and Hermione down during the Horcrux hunt and I'm ashamed of my behavior.

Ginny' birthday is coming up and I'm going to get her some new robes for school and a really nice cauldron. It will be nice to do something for her without Mum and Dad's help.
When I take Hermione to Diagon Alley I'm going to pick up my school supplies myself.

I have to talk to Ginny about my date with Hermione. I want to see what she thinks of the evening I've planned and any ideas about how I can continue to have Hermione see me as more than a best mate.

I'm going to have to talk to George about the NEWTs and the Ministry summons.

I guess I'll do that after I close up tonight. I don't know why I'm so afraid to talk to George. I mean I learned to deal with Harry when he was so angry in fifth year. I certainly can handle George.

Right?
