Before she came I don't know how long I had been stuck there. At first it was white, but as time went on the walls around me started to become yellow. Then there was light, actual light from the sun. Then she was talking to me.
Well, she wasn't actually talking to me at first. She started with dear diary, but I replied anyway. I didn't want to be shut away again, so I introduced myself as Tom. She said that her name was Ginny.
I learnt a lot about Ginny as time went on. She was a witch, and was starting her first year in Hogwarts. She had 6 brothers and hated it. And, she had a massive crush on Harry Potter, the boy-who-lived.
To be honest, I didn't know who Harry Potter was when she first mentioned him, but Ginny told me that he defeated Voldemort. Of course, I was surprised by this, I didn't even know that my older self was dead, but I didn't really care at that point. I just wanted someone to talk to.
I remember gaining control over Ginny the first time. I was growing stronger; now I know that I had been leeching magic off Ginny, but I didn't back then. Light poured into the room I was in, then, suddenly, I was outside, sitting on a bed. There was a mirror opposite so I saw that I was in a girl's body. I thought that it must have been Ginny. I was right.
As time went on, this happened more and more. I had someone to talk to, now I wanted more. I wanted to be free. So one time, when I was in control of Ginny, I went down to the chamber. The basilisk told me that the only way I could get out was if I killed Ginny and took control over her. For some reason that made me feel something. I liked Ginny.
I made a plan to do what the basilisk said. I didn't work; Ginny was rescued, by Harry Potter of all people. I'm glad. Ginny was the only one who had been nice to me. I got too arrogant and took her for granted. I did escape, but not in the way I wanted. I'm dead, but at least I'm out of that room.
