Chapter Four: Your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone!

Ginny tore off the letter the owl carried. The letter was heavy even though it was just a piece of parchment. It was a weird parchment though, colored ash black. It read:

Meet me at the Chamber, midnight tomorrow, Virginia. If you don't your friend Luna will be found amongst the rampaging hippogriffs.

Always Caring,

T.M.R.

Ginny gasped, T.M.R., Tom Marvolo Riddle! Why can't he just leave me alone? I know he's gone but why come back?!

"What Ginny? Let me see that thing…" Said Hermione, who, as like everyone else, noticed her gasp, and snatch the parchment before she could react… Ginny dreaded this… What would be Harry's reaction?

"There's nothing wrong here Ginny… So why are you gasping like it's going to be the end of the world?" Hermione said, and it surprised Ginny that Hermione was, err, giggling.

How could she giggle when it clearly states that someone wants to meet her in the Chamber of Secrets in tomorrow midnight and warned her that if she didn't go, someone'll be in danger?

"What?!" Ginny gasped. "R-read that, will you?"

"Okay… But don't blame me of what'll be your brother and Harry's going to say about this…" Hermione said. "'Dear Ginny: Can we meet up at the Astronomy tower tomorrow night? I would like to give you something that will delight you… Love, Secret Blonde Admirer.' Well…?"


Ginny prepared for the inevitable… After receiving an owl post from T.M.R. (Well, you know him…), her brain was just hazardous as possible. Yesterday, she suffered the wrath of the stern Professor McGonagall for not paying attention and took off twenty points from Gryffindor. Today, she just got Herbology & Double Potions. Five times was the count of the two Professors that had caught her to not pay attention. It was a tough luck when she answered a question by Professor Snape himself as to what Belladonna plants are used for. Even Hermione sensed it too…

"Hey there Miss Weasley, heard you had a quick escape from the Old Bat Snape himself. Don't be too excited in meeting this 'Secret Admirer', okay?" Hermione chummed in.

Ginny, caught up with her torpor snapped and replied… "Uhhh… What Hermione? Sorry, yes I was thinking about that post… But—you what?!"

"I told you, Snape 'let slip' that you escaped his wrath in your Double Potions today… You should advice Harry you know, first, Madam Pomfrey, next, Professor-You-Can't-Get-Away-With-This-Snape. Mind you, Harry will be praising you out of his wits." Hermione said.

Is it me or is Hermione 'jolly' today? Thought Ginny… Wait a second…

"What did Snape 'let slip' Hermione? And how can you just let me go to Astronomy Tower in the middle of the night when you're a prefect? And you seemed to be a little—err—'jolly'…?" Ginny finished with accused look in her.

"Well, Did I mention that I'm going to be Snape's 'assistant' soon?" Hermione asked. Ginny only replied with a blank face. She continued… "And, hey, Harry and I managed just fine, right? About your comment… 'Jolly'? Err just ask Ron…" Hermione suggested, and then Ginny saw a blush at Hermione's cheeks. When Hermione noticed Ginny looking at her strangely, she just, sort of, dashed out of the common room straight to her dormitory.

Well, that wasn't as bad as an interruption… sigh That means sparks are flying between Hermione and Ron too… But…Hermione as Snape's assistant? I could've bet everything for Draco Malfoy as Snape's assistant… It's too predictable…

Ginny went out of the common room to the Great Hall for dinner, soon followed by Luna Lovegood.

"Hey there, Ginny. Heard your escape from Professor Snape, too bad you're with the Slytherins in Potions, Ravenclaw would've loved the view of you escaping the evil bat's clutches…" Luna commented dreamily. She was holding of what looked like an envelope.

"Luna… Do you mean to tell me, that almost everyone at school knows what happened down there at the dungeons?" Ginny asked, walking swiftly downstairs.

"Oh, you know the Slytherins, they were shall we say, humming like gorillas about you. So, eventually, yes, everyone knows… I reckon your brother; Ronald & Harry will be really please. Oh! Here they come now!" Luna's dreamy face looked straight to the Gryffindor table. Then, her dreamy face grew to anxiousness. "Hey, I wonder where Neville went?"

Both of them went straight to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to the two boys.

"Budge up, Ron. Leave a seat for Hermione, will you?" Ginny said. Ron, who always was atrocious at eating looked up.

"F'er was 'erm-mi-knee?" Ron struggled.

"Ronald, hasn't anybody told you how atrocious your eating habit is?" Luna's dreamy voice came. "Oh and by the way, where's Neville? I haven't seen him for a while…"

Ron gulped his food and repeated with a blank expression.

"I said 'Where's Hermione?'. And what does 'atrocious' mean? If that means me complementing my ability to talk and eat at the same time, that's no problem to me."

"Oh Ron, your cute when you're silly, you know." A voice said from behind them. Hermione had her hair in a tight bond. She bent down and whispered at Luna so; the two boys wouldn't hear it. "Oh, and Luna, never mention 'atrocious' ever again coz' god-knows-what, Ron might use that to complement McGonagall or something & he'll never know what struck him."

"There you are 'Mione." Ron chirped.

Ginny's mind slipped yet again… Hmmm…still normal for them then… I wonder why Ron hasn't complained about the letter though… She was shook away from her reverie when she felt a hand on her shoulder… It was Harry… He hasn't said anything to me after the letter…

"Hey, Ginny… Are you really going to meet that… err… your admirer?" He asked shyly… "I mean to say…. No, What I'm trying to say is…." He stuttered.

Ginny sighed and said… "Don't worry Harry. I know what I'm doing. I've got to go, still got to finish that essay on Potions then…"

"Oh, okay… Can I help you, then?"

"It's okay… I'm nearly finished at it anyways… after that, it's my Arithmancy homework then." Ginny said shortly. It'll be easier if Harry doesn't notice Tom's now around… Somewhere… Ginny shivered slightly as she excited the Great Hall.

"Hey there! Ginny!" Someone shouted from behind… No please, Harry. Just leave me be! She whirled around and was quite off guard when what she faced was actually… Daryll Thomas Malfoy.

"Hey there, Tom." Ginny felt Goosebumps behind her neck when she said the name 'TOM'. What does he want now?

"Hey, I was wondering, since Draco doesn't want me to go on and tour me around Hogwarts, I suppose you could?" Tom asked. His eyes full of expectation.

Sigh Oh well, at least I get some distraction… She fumbled inside her inner pockets as if absent-mindedly searching for Riddle's post… But, she felt no parchment… Oh heck! Now where did I put that? Never mind… "Oh, sure Tom… So, where first?" she said casually.

Virginia… Ginny… Tom's face lit up inside her mind.

No, not now Tom… Not now… Ginny struggled as she and Tom (Malfoy) strolled down straight outside.

Tsk tsk… Now Virginia… Don't be harsh… I see there's another Tom beside you… Don't forget our rendezvous later okay? Or, Ms. Lovegood will be found with the hippogriffs okay?

Please… just get out of here!! Leave me be!! Ginny said…


When Ginny left, a piece of parchment fell from her pocket… Harry, who was the only one who noticed this, picked it up and read…

Meet me at the Chamber, midnight tomorrow, Virginia. If you don't your friend Luna will be found amongst the rampaging hippogriffs.

Always Caring,

T.M.R.

Shit!! Bloody Hell!! Harry's mind screamed… He bolted up and scanned the Great Hall, Ginny not to be found. Then, he noticed too, Luna wasn't there anymore.

"Hermione read this for me, will you?" Harry asked, as if he was about to blow…

"Fine… No need to fuss there Harry… Okay…" She read... "'Dear Ginny: Can we meet up at the Astronomy tower tomorrow night? I would like to give you something that will delight you… Love, Secret Blonde Admirer.' Well…? No, no need to be alarmed, Harry… You know what Ginny said back at the train… What…? Harry!! Where are you going?! Come back here!"

Harry dashed out off the Great Hall. Everyone noticed his face was contorted with great anger. Ginny!! What do you think you're doing? T.M.R… That's Tom Marvolo Riddle! This can't be happening! Tom's back!

Your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone!


Author's Note: Whew! What a cliffie! What does Harry think he's doing?! Well, yes, rescuing Ginny… But, can he inform anyone before action? Well, typical Gryffindor… Watch out for the next Chapter then……..

Oh! I have another story coming up! Its title is "We Held Hands"
