Chapter Seven- The Library

Tom and I stopped talking about the diary as soon as we left Hogsmeade last week, it was nice to not talk about it, but I was very worried. How was I supposed to know if he makes it or not? All that had been on my mind all week was Tom and his diary.

"Luna, you coming?" Stacey asked me

"Coming? Where?" I asked.

"Luna we were talking about it not ten minutes ago! The Library!"

"Oh, right, sorry Stace." Stacey was the only girl in my dorm that would still talk to me. She didn't care about "blood statuses" as much as everyone else did.

We left Slytherin House a few minutes later, completely absorbed in our own thoughts, we barely talked at all. It was nice to be with some other than Tom, despite how much I liked him, I needed something to take my mind off of his diary for a little while, I swear that, that thing will be the death of me! Bad choice of words on my part I believe, but you know what I mean.

We were passing the infirmary now, so that meant that we were almost there, when Stacey finally said something, something I wish she hadn't said.

"What's up with Riddle and that book of his, that he carries around?"

"What do you mean?" I asked her. It was a diary after all, weren't those supposed to stay under pillows or something?

"He always carries a ratty old leather book with him. The other girls are saying it's a diary. Is it?"

"No idea." I lied, but unlike Tom, she couldn't tell when I was lying.

"Oh, okay." She sounded so disappointed.

After another few moments of silence, I was glad to see that we had arrived at the Library.

"Looking for something in particular?" I asked her.

"Nope, just something different."

"Different how?"

"No idea." She said quietly.

"Okay." I said suddenly confused.

We looked around the library for a long time, we looked in almost every section when she finally found her book.

"PERFECT!" she yelled, and then the librarian 'shh'd" her very loudly.

"Sorry!" she mouthed at the librarian, who just turned around the other way, with her nose high in the air.

"What book did you find?" I asked, trying not to laugh

"It's book, by a new muggleborn author. It's called Spellbound"

"What's it about?" I asked,

"It's a story about her! Her life before and after she got her wand, and her life at Hogwarts! Don't tell the other girls I'm reading this, they might make fun of me for reading a 'Mudblood book'"

"I really don't like that word Stace." I said through my teeth.

"I know! I know! Im sorry!" She sighed "I'll stop saying it, I promise."

"Okay." I sighed back at her.

"Oh look! There's Tom, I'll go back downstairs, have fun!" she said with a wink then disappeared.

I was going to try to sneak away without him noticing me, but my luck is never good now is it?

"Luna!" he called, in the loudest, quite voice he could.

I walked over to him, and sat down. "Hi."

"You okay?" He asked.

"Just fine." I lied, he noticed I lied, but didn't push. Wise of him. "What are you doing?" I asked

"I found this book, and it has loads of rare magic in it! I'll have to ask Slughorn about some of this."

"Tom, these are spells, not potions, why don't you ask The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" I asked, confused.

"Any other teacher wouldn't listen, they'd misunderstand." He said, not looking up from his book.

"What spell is it Tom?" I asked, but he didn't reply.

"Tom?" Still no reply.

"TOM!" I shouted, earning another 'Shh' from the old woman pushing the book cart around.

He looked up from his book, "Sorry, this is just fascinating though!"

"What spell is it?" I asked

"Well, its this spell, that you place on objects"

Oh no.

"And the object takes a piece of your soul"

Oh dear god no. This isn't happening!

"And it stores that piece of your soul, so that you can't die!"

NO!

"The objects are called 'Horcruxs' after it takes your soul"

"Tom that sounds like really dark magic!" I hid my fear well, for he couldn't hear it in my voice.

"What's so dark about it Luna? It could keep me alive forever!"

"Let me see." I demanded, and he handed me the book.

I read the page thoroughly, and it was truly horrible. To make a Horcrux you need to kill someone.

"You can't kill anyone Tom!" I yelled

"Relax. I don't even know how to make it, the book doesn't explain that part."

I relaxed, until he said "I'll talk to Slughorn tonight though, at his party."

The fear was very prominent in my eyes. "Tom if you do that, you'll never see me again."

He looked at me, and said, "I'm talking to him Luna. But I won't make one without you knowing, okay?

I realized that, that was all I was going to get, so I reluctantly agreed, then stormed out of the Library, pushing over a cart of books on the way out.

"TEN POINTS FROM SLYTHERIN" The old woman shouted, but I didn't care. I was too angry care. I was failing. And I knew it.

A/N-=UH OH!
