Chapter 1: Meeting

Ginny Weasley was cleaning her room, and choosing the items she wished to take to Hogwarts when she found it.

There was a small old book mixed in with her new Hogwarts books- Which Harry had so thoughtfully given to her- which were strewn all over her bed.

She picked it up, and examined it.

I don't remember Harry giving me this book, she thought.

Ginny opened it and saw that it was completely empty.

She checked every single page until she concluded that her Mum and Dad must have got it for her while she wasn't looking. Ginny made a mental note to thank her parents for their wonderful gift, and took out an old looking quill and ink. She wrote,

Ginny Weasley

At the top of the page. To her surprise, there was narrow handwriting underneath her that wasn't there before, and that she certainly didn't write. It said,

Hello, Ginny.

My name is Tom Riddle.

Ginny gasped as she read this.

Her Dad always said never to trust something that cannot think for herself, but she figured that her Mum or Dad had put some sort of charm on it, so she would have a friend even before she got to Hogwarts.

Ginny smiled and wrote,

Hello, Tom.

Are you a wizard?

She watched as more writing appeared, and read it.

Yes, Ginny.

Do you go to Hogwarts?

Ginny smiled.

Not yet, Tom.

I am starting my very first year soon.

She wrote, and loved that 'Tom' had wrote back.

Oh, wonderful.

I love Hogwarts! Are you nervous?

Ginny wondered if she could tell him.

Why not, what's the harm in having a friend? she thought.

Little did she know, there was immense harm that could come.

Well, Tom,

My brothers say I will love it, but I'm not so sure.

Ginny admitted, and then dedicated herself to have a nice conversation with her new friend Tom, instead of packing.

Don't worry, you'll love it.

How many brothers do you have?

I have six brothers, their names are, Bill, the oldest, who works as a Gringotts curse breaker in Egypt, Charlie, who is a dragon tamer in Romania, Percy, who is a prefect and Head boy at Hogwarts this year, Fred and George, who are twins and are great fun, and Ron, who is in his second year.

It must be very tiring with all those brothers.

No, not really. Only Percy, Fred, George and Ron live at home, and none of them are much alike, except Fred and George.

Oh, well then that must be very fun.

Well, I only really play with Ron, because he's only a year older than me. Speaking of Ron, his friend Harry is over for a couple more days.

That wouldn't happen to be Harry Potter you're talking about?

Ginny's smile flattered. Should she tell him?

Yes, Harry Potter. The boy who lived.

He and Ron are best mates, but I'm usually to shy to talk to him.

Ginny bit her lip.

He sounds interesting.

Why are you usually too shy to speak to Harry Potter?

Promise you won't tell anyone?

I promise.

I have a little crush on him.

Ah, young love.

So tell me Ginny, what is Harry like?

Oh Harry…well, he's got a scar from where You-Know-Who tried to…kill him, he wears cute little glasses, he has a cute face, the most amazing green eyes, and is only a little taller than me.

Oh I see.

What about his personality?

Harry has the most amazing personality. Not that I've ever talked to him, but the things Ron says about him are great, and Mum says he is really nice and charming.

Last year, he defeated You-Know-Who, again!

Well, he does sound rather nice.

How did he defeat Voldemort?

Ginny flinched, but if Tom felt safe writing Voldemort, so should she right?

Harry, Ron, and their friend Hermione had discovered that Hogwarts was hiding the Philosophers Stone, and Voldemort, who was attached to the back of a Professors head somehow, found out, and tried to steal it to become immortal.

Ron, Harry and Hermione discovered that someone was trying to steal it, so they had to go threw a bunch of traps and games to get to the stone, and it turned out only Harry got through. He found the Professor, and Ron never said how, but he defeated both Voldemort and the Professor, and saved us all from Voldemort.

I see. When you say, "Only Harry got through," does that mean Ron and Hermione were harmed?

Oh, no, they were fine. They just had to stay back because in the end, I think Harry needed their help, but had to defeat Voldemort on his own.

Let me tell you something Ginny, I like you, and I was wondering if we could be friends.

Ginny pondered this for a moment. Friends with a book? Why not.

I'd love that Tom- oh, I've just heard my Mum telling me that I must finish packing, I'll write to you later, okay Tom?

Alright, Ginny, I shall see you again later.

Ginny then closed the book with a smile, and put away her ink and quill.

How rare, Ginny had found a friend who liked her for how she was, and was nice. Tom sounded like a nice person.

Ginny wondered for a moment, whether Tom was real or not.

He could be some wizard going to Hogwarts, and writing in a diary as well, thought Ginny.

Let's hope, she thought finally, and then continued to pack, unaware that she had just put not only herself, but everyone at Hogwarts, in grave danger.
