Chapter 2: A Diary of Interest
A pecking sound is what woke Hermione up the next day. She slowly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. Pig, the Weasley owl, was packing at the window trying to get in. She stood up and let him in, closing the window behind him. He flew around her head a few times before she could coax him to settle down. Finally, she grabbed the letter and unrolled it.
"Hermione we miss you! What day are you coming to the Burrow again? No one can seem to remember, not even Mum. Let me know soon. Ron."
She rolled it back up and quickly replied. "Ron, I am currently at the Leaky Cauldron so I could come any time it is convenient. Hermione." She quickly sent Pig on his way and decided to go walk around Diagon Alley.
The first thing she noticed when she walked outside was the huge sign that said in bold letters: GRAND OPENING! USED BOOKS GALORE! She followed the signs and was led to a small building, almost churchlike. It didn't look like much, but her love of books made her walk in anyway. It was apparent it was magical because inside was a three-story building with books at every crevice. She let out a quiet giggle and immediately started looking. Two hours later found her by the journals, trying to get an exceptionally high book down. Then a voice broke out behind her.
"There you are Mione! We thought we'd find you here!" She turned to find Ron right behind her. "Ginny is by the romance books. We're here to take you to the Burrow. All your stuff is already there."
Hermione took a second and started to reply, but was interrupted. "There are Quidditch books over there Ron" Ginny chimed in, coming out of nowhere. He immediately ran over to the section, forgetting the girls completely. "Hey Hermione, I figured he was bugging you."
"Oh he was." Hermione said, turning around and finally getting the diary. It was a small red felt diary with a heart of diamonds with the word Gaunt on the top. She opened it up to find writing, but ignored it. 'I can easily erase that later.' She turned to grab Ginny and they went to find Ron. They all paid for their purchases and floo'd back to the Burrow.
Once they got there, Hermione was immediately engulfed in a hug from Molly. "Oh Hermione dear, it's good to see you. We're a bit full so you and Ginny will be sharing a room with a couple other people." She said apologetically.
:"It's ok Mrs Weasley. How is the wedding coming?" Hermione asked politely. Molly got a sparkle in her eye. "Really good. You'll see the decorations soon. Ginny show hermione upstairs." That being said, she moved over to a pile of laundry and started sorting through it. The girls walked into Ginny's room and sat in their respected beds.
Ginny immediately started complaining. "Mum has been driving everyone crazy with planning and decorations. I'm sure she'll have something for even you to do so relax while you can." She fell asleep almost immediately so Hermione took out her new dairy and opened it up to the first page. It contained a note.
"To whomever finds this diary,
My name is Merope Gaunt. I am a witch, but my magic is quickly fading. I fell in love with a muggle and fed him love potion to make him stay, but I got pregnant and told him the truth. He left and abandoned me and this child. I know I won't make it much longer, so this diary is my only legacy. There is another diary like this one. My son has it. If you write in this one, it will immediately go to the other one, and vice versa. Please, whoever gets this, show my son that the world is not all bad.
Yours Truly,
The Departed."
Hermione sat there in shock for a few moments, but also a bit confused. That name sounded familiar, but she couldn't place it. She flipped the pages to a blank one and decided to try it. "Hello. My name is Hermione Granger. How are you?" She waited a few minutes, but when nothing happened, she shook her head and laughed at herself. "Am I crazy? Writing in a book for someone to answer." She closed the book and walked downstairs to see if Molly needed help. If she would have waited a few minutes longer, she would have saw writing appear under hers.
A/N Ok I am not writing anymore until I get at least 10 reviews. You can send me ideas and I may use them in the story. Let me know what you think :)
