A/N: I've been getting some questions about Rina that I want to clear up: Like who she is and how she knows what she knows. Before I go on, I want to remind everyone that this story is made for humorous purposes. It's not exactly a parody, and it has its real moments, but this is for those days where you just want to relax and read.
I pride myself on writing fanfics that take a known, over-used fanfiction 'thing' and twisting it into my own. Like real world crossovers or certain character types. This is one of those stories. I'm trying not to make Rina seem like a Mary-Sue, though it may seem that way next chapter, but I assure you she is not, lol
Special Thanks To: Your reviews continue to amaze me! Such positivity and such - oh, you guys make me so happy x3
Ocean-Breeze: No, you didn't miss anything. When I first made this story (Before I took it down) Rina was taken from one of my first fanfictions and I put her in with this story for just a one-shot. I almost forgot that I have new readers, so along with my new changes, I'll make sure her situation is explained lol sorry.

Chapter 4
Dear Snake-Man's Diary, I'm forced to write in such a dull color because my professor stole my pink sparkly pen. I don't know why, something about 'school rules' but now I have to learn how to write with a quill and ink whlch keps run ning ou—
*which keeps running out.
If you lack the ability to write with a simple quill and ink, I worry for your future in the magical world.
It's not my fault you people don't have computers! It would save up a lot of time, you know!
Computers? Is this another muggle invention or another fantasy?
For your info-mation
- Information –
This is also a real thing! It's just, you know, not as advanced as I know it to be . . .
Are you claiming to know the future?
Mayyybe?
It would explain how you claim to know so much about me. Are you advanced in Divination?
Divi-wha?
Divination. What year are you in if you do not know what this is?
Technically I'm a second year, but this is my first year at Hogwarts.
And how is that?
Some American exchange program. I honestly have no idea how I got here. Just me and like five other students came from America and we got sorted at the beginning of the year with the first years and it's all this big confusing mess that I don't understand so I just decided to go with it.
I suppose it is better than Ginny, who was merely a first year.
Hey! I like Ginny! She's very smart, you know!
She'd have to be with so many brothers. They tease her quite a lot. And then there's her obsession with Potter . . .
Ahh, jealous my good friend?
Jealous? Jealous of what?
Oh, nothing! Nothing! So, have you decided to play my name game, or what?
Hm, I have thought about it. Fine, I shall play this game of yours.
Yay!
Do I get a hint? There are so many possibilities for this game to go.
Fine, I'll set some rules. How about . . . I give you a first letter of my name, and if you get close I have to tell you? Like if my name were Sally and you say Sarah I say you're on the right track or something?
That seems fair. What about spelling?
Spelling doesn't matter, I'll allow it! Like Sarah verses Sara! Or Sariah or something.
Shall we begin?
We shall my no-nosed friend!
Stop calling me that.
Fiiiine. My name, or at least, the name I like to go by, starts with the letter 'R'! :D
You are from America, so I must only assume your name is more of a traditional American.
Ehh, I don't know. I'm half Japanese, does that help?
Don't distract me.
I wasn't aware you were passionate about names.
I'm not. I'd like to finish this game quickly. I have a schedule to keep.
You seem very busy for a leather-bound book.
You'd be surprised.
Alrighty then! WELCOME TO THE FIRST ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES!
Please, don't do that.
Don't tell me what to do.
In your ways, I should put *sigh* right about here. My first guess of your name: Rachel.
Nope.
Was I close?
Not even.
Rebecca?
Its Friday~! Firday~! Gotta get down on Friday!
I'm going to ignore that and assume that was wrong.
Sorry.
Reed?
That's another story. Try again!
Huh. I don't know many female names, much less American. Tell me, why do you insist on such things?
What do you mean?
Playing these games. Are you aware of who I am, exactly?
Of course. You are Tom Riddle, owner of the shabby, girly diary! Not an owner of a nose~!
Snake eyes, no-nosed, baldy. You call me many of these names about my appearance. Why?
I have my reasons.
You're dodging me again. Regan?
Ugh, there was this girl named Regan in my Kindergarten class. I only say ugh because she was absolutely beautiful and I was jealous of her clothes. But she was jealous of my hair, so I guess you could say we were even.
Thanks . . . for sharing. Don't think you can dodge me so easily now, I'm paying close attention. Would you say your name is traditionally female or unisex?
Female. And I'm not being dodgy!
Riley. What exactly do I get if I win this game of yours?
I want to say which part of that name is close . . . And I don't know, what do you want?
To do me a favor. Hm, Raven seems very fitting, considering your personality.
Possibly one of the most cliché gothic names for girls! What could a diary possibly want for a favor?
This is the magical realm, love. You'd be surprised.
Hmmm . . . Will this favor be dangerous?
It depends on your definition of danger. It requires a skill of cleverness and you must be sneaky.
Sounds fun! Fine, if you manage to guess my name, I'll do this favor. ASK AWAY! :D
Is that another one of your faces? The ':D'
Yes! That is a wide smile instead of a closed-mouth one. You learn quickly! I'm so proud of you *pats your head*
Please refrain from such foolish actions.
NEVAAHHH! *jumps up and down*
You know, I could be a very dangerous object. Haven't your parents ever told you to beware of talking books and other such things?
Aww, you care?
Merely curious. From the beginning you wrote to me as if we were familiar with each other, which makes me think. I'm not usually prone to arguments, I'm actually quite charming.
Whoa, slow down there, don't insult yourself too much.
I wasn't insulting myself at all.
It was a joke . . .
You're not very good at jokes, are you?
Yeah? Well . . . at least my last name isn't Riddle! :P
Great comback. Another face . . . you are sticking your tongue out at me?
You deserve a medal!
How childish.
Oh, Tommy-boy -
Enough with the nicknames!
If there is one lesson you should learn from me, it shall be there is no such thing as growing up! We all just grow taller!
I beg to differ.
You're just boring. It's okay.
I fear for the future if children your age have this way of thinking.
Mwahahahaha!
Exactly. Which reminds me, why are you doing this?
Doing what?
Writing to me. Playing games with me, no matter how mindless. Even willing to do me a favor even though you don't know what it is.
I don't know. I don't have very many people to talk to. Doesn't help that I don't like people.
Ah, but I used to be a people.
You really want to know why I'm writing to you?
Yes.
. . . . .
. . . . .
Because I'm bored! Hahahahaha!
I should have expected.
That, and character development.
Character . . . development?
Yeah! You know how certain events happen to people and it changes them and they learn from it and it becomes crucial to their future and whatnot?
I know what character development is. I do read, I'm surprised that you do.
I read a lot! If you haven't noticed, I have a disntinct lack of typos :)
Typos?
Ugh, nvm.
Nvm . . .
We have a long way to go, jeesh I thought you were a fast learner!
It's not my fault you're just spouting gibberish!
Anyways, yeah, character devlopment. Things are supposed to happen in the future for more future happenings and I figured, hey, I might as well be the one to help along! You know, instead of Ginny. I only see life scarring events in the future for her if she were the one to do this.
So, you do know what you're getting yourself in to.
Of course I do! Because I'm awesome, duh!
Then why do you not just give me your name if you have a need to do as I request, anyways?
Where would the fun in that be?
Must you do everything for your own amusment?
Why, of course! Otherwise life would be so, so, dull, don't you think?
. . . . .
. . . . .
Rose.
Rose?
I don't know much about the name, but it seems to fit more. Passion, beauty, the like.
You're starting to write like me. Aww, you think I'm beautiful?
Speaking your language helps me better understand you. Though, I wouldn't go so far. I don't even know what you look like.
Wow, I just assumed you had some magical eyes or something.
Not so much. But I know what Ginny looks like. And her brothers. She put in pictures before, telling me about her day and everything. She has many siblings.
Yup. That's what I love about her family. I've always wanted a big family.
You are an only child?
No, I have a half brother but we don't talk much.
I'm sorry. I wouldn't know what that's like, I'm an only child myself.
Ugh, let's not get emotional about our lives.
Agreed. Was I on the right track?
With what?
Rose, your name?
Oh! Yeah, no, that's nice but my name is a lot more simple sounding.
This is impossible.
Only if you give up! How badly do you want that favor?
I told you, I have a scheduel to keep.
. . . . .
. . . . .
Have you gone?
Changing classes. Almost lost you there, someone shoved me in the hall and I dropped you.
I feel like I felt that. I trust it not to happen again.
No promises! Anyways, I gotta go, Riddle man. You keep thinking about those names, alrighty?
I look forward to our next meeting.
Aww, I knew you liked me!
Goodbye.
A/N: Aww, Tommy boy. Always the charmer. Not much narration in this chapter, most of these won't until later. But I sneak it in when Rina explains what she's doing as she's writing. If you have any questions, I'll answer them if it doesn't give future events away.
Btw, I'm having a hard time deciding a second genre for this story. It's not exactly a romance, because I don't know what or if there will be a couple for this, and I want to put friendship or adventure but it doesn't seem to fit either. Any thoughts?
Tell me in a review if/what the couple should be! The course of the story will depend on this! Tom/Oc or (sorta)Friendship!Tom/Oc
