Verity Hair In Face
I went out with Levi last night. We went to dinner at Gulliver's Glen, and then went to a muggle cinema and saw a film... Fifty First Dates. It was funny and sad at the same time.

There may have also been some heavy petting on our parts... I might have to go and see it again so that I know what happened in the bits where I was busy.

I don't think Levi is terribly experienced with girls; He seemed sort of nervous at first and I had to adjust his technique here and there. Of course, he did the same with me... I had no idea that boys liked to have girls run their fingers through the hair at the nape of their necks. Of course, the opposite is true, but boys are so much more easily excited that I never figured that they'd need it. (Levi really didn't, but it certainly did intensify his attentions toward me.)

When we got to the driveway (granddad still hasn't seen fit to let him onto the property), Levi conjured a single rose and kissed me good night. He made sure that I got through the wards all right, and I walked back up to the house. Granddad was out... Not sure where. Not sure I want to know, either.

Had a good day.

Dinner was amazing; Granddad killed the goose this morning, and Grandmum roasted it and made roast potatoes, Brussels Sprouts with chestnuts and streaky bacon, and Yorkshire pudding. We had the Christmas Pudding that she and I made nearly a month ago now.

Dad came to dinner. He and his "Friend" left again around four. I had hoped that he would have stuck around a little longer.

But Dad coming only for dinner only put a bit of a dent in my good spirits. L came and found me when I was alone in the supply closet and we made plans to meet up in Hogsmeade tomorrow (today) in the early afternoon. He seemed like a weight had been lifted from him, and he even bowed and kissed my hand before taking his leave. I suppose that his slightly goofy demeanor would put some girls off, I really can't believe that someone hasn't already nabbed him.

Am drifting off; Going to sleep now.

Ever since Senior Aurors Jones and Tonks told me I was to be Tonks' trainee at dinner the other day, I have been on pins and needles. I've wanted to tell someone, but the other trainees are out because I'm not supposed to know, and Granddad just smirked at me when I tried to talk to him about it. My grandparents just smiled and said something like "Isn't that nice" when I told them.

I can't even go in and talk to Tonks about it, because it'll look strange to the others.

It's really quite frustrating.

Speaking of frustrating, I've been sort of seeing L. He's cute -- both physically and personality-wise -- and he's been nothing short of a gentleman, but I do wish he'd touch me. He seems to think that he needs to keep his distance. No hand holding, no arm slung around my waist... Nothing. When all of the other trainees and I went out for drinks, he did get a little touchy-feely, but that was ruined when we got back to the farm and he couldn't see it.

He doesn't seem to be frightened off by Granddad, anyway. That's a good sign.

Come to think of it, maybe he is afraid of Granddad. That might explain things.
