Ginerva Weasley, known to her friends as Ginny Weasley, sat up in bed, pale and recovering from her recent sickness. She was starting to nod off again when Harry ran through the door, a huge pile of books swaying threateningly in his arms.
"Hey Ginny. I got you some of your books I thought you might need for that essay in History." Harry heaved the books onto her night stand and crashed next to her bed.
"Oh, thank you Harry, I think I might be starting on it, I feel much better." Ginny smiled weakly and nodded her head.
"Well..uh ok, then I've got to go before I'm late for Charms. See you later?" Harry smiled.
"Yeah, ok." Ginny slid out a book from the middle of the pile, and placing it in her lap, she started reading. Eventually, she got drowsy again from the potion Madame Pomfrey had given her, and the book propped on her stomach dropped lower and lower until it finally slid off and thumped on to the ground. Ginny sat up, scared awake by the sound. She sighed when she saw the book lying on the ground and leaned to pick it up. As she placed the book back on top of the stack of books Harry had brought, she noticed the edge of a notebook sticking out of it.
Ginny pulled it out, gasping at the intricate designs on the front and back cover. She started sliding the notebook under her pillow, shuddering at the memory of her first year, but curiosity got the better of her. Facinated by the swirls and ancient scrawls on the cover, Ginny slowly opened the notebook to a random page.
" Dear Diary,
Today father threatened to kill me again. I don't know what I've done to anger him so, but he took out his dagger again, waving it in front of my face and cursing at me. Today I was luck. Before father could stab me, like he always did before, a group of scary looking men came and took him away. I'm not sure where they took him, but I hope he will never come back.
-Draco Malfoy"
"Malfoy? What is his diary doing in this Hogwarts history book?" Ginny was about to close the diary when she saw the word in front of her slowly fading away. Darkness covered her eyes, and she was pulled into the book. "NOO! NOT AGAIN!" Ginny screamed as she felt herself falling through darkness.
