Hey, sorry for the late update. Been busy, you know how it goes. Anyway it's up now.
You know the drill read rate and comment.
As always, happy reading ^.^

I looked around the boy's dorm with disbelief at the mess I had made. Once I had let my desire for Tom through my defences it had overcome me. I would have done anything to get that journal back. This was the effect Tom always had on me, he released something in me that I didn't know was there. When he was around I was unrestrained for the first time in my life. Although it scared me like hell I liked the way it made me feel so powerful.

I heard voices laughing down in the common room, shocking me out of my stupor of disbelief. I tore my eyes away from the destruction and fled down the stairs, then as quietly as I could, crept around the common room to the stairs to the girls' dormitory. I nearly ran up the stairs and into my room, grabbed a quill of my bed side table. On my way down the stairs I had to slow myself down. It would look suspicious if I was seen running from the common room just before the destruction of the boys' dorm room is discovered. Walking almost painfully slow I walked through the common room, trying my best to look casual and to keep the diary out of sight. Not that anyone gave me a second glance.

Once I was out in the grounds I broke into a run until I reached my favourite secluded tree. After looking to check no one was around I hoisted myself up into its shaded branches. The sun light filtered through in little pools. The thick green leaves shut the world out and I was able to breathe normally again for the first time since I found out harry had the diary.
I picked up the diary, flipping absently through the pages, watching as they were momentarily highlighted as they passed through a small patch of light then back into shadow as they came to rest on the opposite cover of the diary.
I savoured the familiar smell of the pages, then the calming smoothness of my quill gliding across the page.
"Tom?"
"Oh, hey"
"Ginny that's you right?"
I was slightly upset, he didn't seem to be as excited that I had the diary back as I had hoped.
"yeah, sorry about what happened last time we wrote"
"it's all right, but do you understand why I did what I did?"
No I thought to myself, but then I don't understand why I do what I do half the time so it wasn't too big a deal for me.
"yeah, I guess I kinda just freaked out a little. Are we ok now?"

"sure Ginny, as long as your happy I am"
I leaned back onto the branch behind me and closed my eyes and soaked in the warmness of the day. A gentle breeze stirred the leaves making the lights dance. I slowly opened my eyes.
"you still there Tom?" i held my breath as a waited for his answer, which seemed to take forever coming.
"always." Came his is reply.
"can I come see you tonight?"
"I would love you to Ginny, but if you get caught..."
I bit my lip trying to contain the smile that was creeping across my face.
"I swear I won't get caught, any way, percy wont give me detention or anything and especially wouldn't suspect me of anything, I'm his dear innocent little sister remember"
I waited anxiously for his reply.
"You may be a dear Ginny but you're not all that innocent, I think I may be the only one who sees it though. If you promise you are sure you won't get caught I am dying to see you again."
A grin spread across my entire face, I had a plan all set out.
"ok well I have to get back to the common room, the teachers don't like it if we are out alone and I wouldn't want to get in trouble now would I?" I wrote slightly flirtatiously. I didn't flirt much, mostly because there was no one around worth flirting with, but I enjoyed a little flirting now and then.

I jumped from my branch in the tree to the ground and half skipped back to the castle, ready to put my little plan into action.

AN- broke 5,000 words, yay!! :D
