Day 22
__
I'm in love!We met by the pool as I was going for an early morning dip. Her name is Hermione and she says she is a Peking Duck. She works as a model and is in here because she doesn't have an eating disorder.
She thinks the dark boot polish on my bill makes me look swarthy and handsome. I may never shave again.
I'm in heaven. I've got a girlfriend who is a model and thinks I look cool. I'd been feeling pretty depressed since Thaisa hasn't written to me once during my whole stay. I think she's dumped me. Suddenly, another 12 days in this place doesn't seem so bad.
Hermione is awfully interested in me and asks lots of questions. She's very keen to know why I'm here and if I know much about the other inmates. I'm trying not to let on that I'm famous because I don't want her to be intimidated.
We're going for a midnight swim. Ron wants to come too but I told him " 'Perry and Hermione' sounds romantic. 'Perry, Hermione and Ron' just sounds silly".
Besides, Ron can't swim.
