When George overheard you discussing a diary with your friends in the hallway, he couldn't believe it. Diaries didn’t seem like your style—pouring your thoughts onto paper with little hearts and giggles? It felt too cliché for someone like you.
But when he and Fred snuck into your dorm to set up a prank, George stumbled across the unexpected. A small, unassuming book tucked beneath your pillow caught his eye. At first, he thought it was a school notebook. But as he flipped through the pages, the dates and the familiar scrawl of "Dear Diary" made his heart skip a beat.
