The Diary of Lies

by Master Skyguy

Sami Jo is just the average Slytherin girl. Her mum is, so is her dad. The only problem? She doesn't want to be in Slytherin. Join Sami Jo and her new friend Emma as they encounter challenges in their first year at Hogwarts. Set during the Chamber of Secrets. Slightly AU. Only a few AU changes. Major plot twists coming. :) Don't hate me. :)

4. Discovering the Past

I would like to say that I will not have regular updates. Truthfully, I have mostly finished writing. I expect it to be 9 or 10 chapters, depending on how much more I feel like writing.

Chapter 4

Sami Jo POV

"It's okay Emma," Harry said calmly. "What's the problem?"

"I don't know," she admitted. "I guess I just overreacted."

"Why did you do that Emma?" I asked. "You know you didn't have to."

"I guess I just wanted to prove that I wasn't a useless child."

"Who told you that?" I asked worriedly. Why was Emma's life so depressing?

"Lucius said it once. But it was mostly Draco."

"Why?" Harry asked.

"I honestly don't know."

"Well, let's make that lying piece of filth pay for what he did!" I responded angrily.

"Really?"

"You bet!" I added, I couldn't wait to get revenge on Draco. Best day ever!

We walked calmly out of the bathroom. "It's lunchtime now, Emma," Harry said. "If you want," he added quietly.

"Okay let's go," Emma said, "we did miss breakfast after all."

As we walked to the great hall, Emma started to cheer up a bit.

"Why does Snape hate me so much?" she asked.

"Probably because you're a Potter." Harry said, sadly.

"And you were late," I added.

"But he doesn't hate you," Emma puzzled.

"He probably does, but you started talking before he could yell at me."

"Oh," Emma became very quiet. I kicked myself for reminding her. We walked in silence for a while.

"Yay! Food!" I exclaimed as we entered the great hall.

Emma smiled, "Good, I'm hungry."

We sat down at the Gryffindor table. Ginny came up to us.

"What's wrong Emma?"

"My life is really depressing, I did a bunch of stupid stuff, I woke up late for class and Snape hates me." she exclaimed starting to cry again.

"I find that writing out my thoughts can be useful. I have a diary you can have. I think it came with one of my books, but you can have it. I already have one."

"Thanks Ginny," Emma sniffed.

Fast Forward… In the Common room…

"That was one stressful day!" Emma sighed.

"I agree." I declared, tiredly. "I think I'm going to get some rest."

"Me too!" Harry added.

"You coming Emma?" I asked.

"I want to write a few things in my diary, okay? I'll be up soon," she decided.

"Sure." I yawned. I turned and walked up to bed.
