Chapter 25: He Had a Diary?
It had been a couple since Christmas Break ended. During that time, the Ghostbusters scene reaction was almost done... it mostly stemmed from trying to find someone to play Gozer.
Thankfully a 5th year girl finally volunteered and they were able to film the scenes.
Other than that the most interesting thing happened one day in the common room when Mami decided to help Ginny with her homework.
"Why are you hanging out with Weasley?" asked a first year girl approaching them.
Ginny flinched a little when she said that.
"She's poor." Said the girl.
"And look at her robes." Said another girl.
"A cool second year like you should be hanging out with us! Not Weasley!" said the first girl.
"Why should her clothes and money matter?" asked Mami.
The first year girls froze.
"Ginny is a nice girl. And for me that's all that matters." Said Mami.
The other girls froze.
"Excuse me… did I heard correct?" asked Percy.
The first year girls froze, they had forgotten that one of her brothers were a Prefect.
Percy began to scold them and took points away from the one who spoke.
Also a few days later the four girls were found covered a slime mostly affecting their robes.
On the same day Harry found something interesting.
He investigated the abounded bathroom (as it was the housing on of the school's ghosts Moaning Myrtle) and turns out a diary was flushed down one of the toilets.
Harry discovered that it once belonged to T.M. Riddle, AKA Voldemort in his youth and decided to investigate, however it was empty.
He wanted to show Hermoine in the common room but she was busy with a group that she helped form…
Many students have banded together to form a sort of Study group to figure out what was Slytherin's Monster thanks to what happened over the break.
It was mostly Ravenclaws in the group but there were students from the other houses (well besides Hermoine).
"What are you looking at?" asked Erza.
"Oh I found this." Said Harry showing her the diary.
"T.M. Riddle?" asked Erza, "That's Voldemort!"
Harry shushed.
"Why do you have a book with his name on it?" asked Erza taking a seat next to Harry.
"I found it in the girl's bathroom." Said Harry.
Erza glared at him.
"It was Moaning Myrtle's bathroom!" said Harry.
"Fine… I'll ignore that…" said Erza, "What was a book with his name be in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom?"
"Don't know, it appears to be a diary." Said Harry.
"If it belonged to him then it might have some evil enchants…" said Erza, "Wait… did you say it was his diary?"
"Yes." Answered Harry.
"One of the most infamous wizards had a diary? I can't even imagine such a thing…" thought Erza blushing.
"You're thinking of the diary. Aren't you?" asked Harry.
"No of course not." Said Erza.
"When I first found it Ron laughed hysterically." Said Harry.
(Flashback)
"Wait… did you say it was a diary?" asked Ron.
Ron began to laugh hysterically.
(End flashback)
"You have turn this into Dumbledore." Said Erza.
"I have to find out what Voldemort did… or at least what he's up to…" said Harry, "But I can't figure out how to use this."
"Is this about Ernie?" asked Erza, "Most of the school sees him as crazy… I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to join the study group they kick him out because of something he says."
Meanwhile in the library.
"Why do you want to join." Sighed Penelope.
"I have to prove that Potter is the Heir of Slytherin." Said Ernie.
"Why him? "asked Penelope.
"Because he is a Parselmouth." said Ernie.
"What does that have to with everything." Said Penelope.
"Have any of you ever heard of a good Parselmouth?" asked Ernie.
"Yes." Answered Padma joining the conversation, "My grandfather was saved a famous one who used his gifts to protect those from dangerous and poisonous snakes."
"Then why I haven't heard of this?" asked Ernie.
"Because it happened in India… a country where being a Parselmouth is considered the highest honor." Said Padma glaring at Ernie.
Ernie was silent, then the rest of the study group glared at him.
"I forgot I have to do my homework." Said Ernie.
Ernie ran out of the area then crashed into Madame Pince.
"That was brilliant by the way." Said Titus who was also a member of the study.
Padma shrugged then went back to reading.
Back in the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Let me figure out how he hid his secrets then I'll take it Dumbledore." Said Harry.
Erza sighed, "Fine… but it starts doing something strange tell Dumbledore right away." She said.
Sometime later she called a meeting with everyone.
"And that's what Harry's doing sighed." Said Erza.
"Wait… did you just say that Voldemort has a dairy?" asked Haruna.
"Yes…" answered Erza.
Haruna, Ino and Shampoo all burst out laughing, it was one of the most ridiculous things they ever heard.
Robin, Momo and Mami also giggled, after one of the worst wizards in all of history having a diary is pretty silly.
"This is serious." Muttered Erza.
"Of course you wouldn't find it funny." Said Haruna under her breath.
"What was that?" asked Erza.
"Nothing…" mumbled Haruna.
"We'll all have to pay attention to Harry extra." Said Erza, "Just incase something happens."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Dear Dairy… today I have gained several more followers." Said Haruna.
This was something that would hopefully get old soon.
Weeks went by and Harry had yet to crack what was the dairy's secret.
Soon enough Saint Valentines came. As Harry was partial owner he was informed of the upcoming events.
As the events sounded horrible he gathered many students to talk to Pro. Dumbledore about it. It mostly consisted of the girls, Harry, Ron, Ginny, the male members of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team and the Slytherin Rejects
"Look you can let that man take charge of Valentines Day!" said Harry.
"I'm sorry but the main reason is a morale booster." Sighed Pro. Dumbledore.
"But I've heard about the Owlentines incident." Said Terrence, "My cousin told me about it."
"Why can't we have a different kind of morale booster?" asked Harry.
"Like a school play." Suggested Erza blushing brightly.
"NO!" yelled the panting of Armando Dippet, "I banned school plays for a reason."
He got a far off look in his eyes.
"Who's idea was it to use an ashwinder!" he suddenly yelled out, "Stop it girls! You can settle it!"
{A painting can have flashbacks?" asked Fred.
"I guess they can." Said George.
"I'm sorry but I agree with him." Said Pro. Dumbledore.
"I take it's worse than Owlentines Day…" mumbled Harry.
"Now do you have any other ideas." Said Pro. Dumbledore.
"A new set of Quidditch Teams." Said Terrence, "One forming their own little Quidditch league for students who can't make house team."
"I'll think about it…" said Pro. Dumbledore.
"A mandatory movie night." Suggested Haruna.
"I don't think that's a good idea." Sighed Pro. Dumbledore, "If I remember most of Slytherin still enjoy movies."
"A chess championship." Suggested Ron.
"That does sound enjoyable." Said Pro. Dumbledore, "Especially if other games were involved."
"No punishments for April Fools day." Said Fred and George.
"That is something else I'll think about." Said Pro. Dumbledore.
"Clothing optional day!" Said Sylvia.
Everyone in the room slowly turned to Sylvia.
"I think we should stop suggesting things." Said Harry.
Sadly they weren't able to convince Pro. Dumbledore stop the Valentines' Day celebration…
Plus it helped that there was a promise not to send hundreds of Valentines to someone…
Of course it was annoying as what they feared. The great hall was covered in pink flowers and confetti rained down form the celling.
The teachers and students who heard about the incident all at the same thought "At least it's better than Owlentines Day".
"Happy Valentines Day!" said Gilderoy, "And thank you to the 46 students who sent me Valentines."
At the Gryffindor Table.
"Were you one of the ones who sent him one?" asked Ron.
"Of course not…" said Hermoine.
"Says the girl who refused to try to help us to avoid all this…" said Ginny.
Hermoine sighed.
"And if you think this little surprise ends here, it doesn't." said Gilderoy.
That was when he showed up the dwarves. All of them wearing diapers and golden wings and all of them looked surly.
"These little cupids ill help by sending valentines to everyone!" said Gilderoy.
"You know…" said Adrian at the Slytherin actable, "If you didn't suggest the whole naked thing we could have figured out a replacement…"
"Can't talk now… writing." Said Sylvia with an evil smirk, "Boy this is going to be a fun Valentines."
"What are even writing?" asked Shampoo.
"I'd rather not have a second year read what I'm writing…" said Sylvia.
"Also I'm sure the other teachers will join in. I'm sure Pro. Snape will teach you to make a Love Potion, and Pro. Flitwick knows more about Entrancing Enchantments than I have ever met."
Snape looked like he would poison anyone who would ask him to learn how to make one, while Pro. Flitwick looked so embarrassed.
All though out the day the Valentines were given often interrupting classes.
As the day went on, Erza was extremely grumpy.
"Oh come you can't be jealous." Said Mami.
"Of course not why would I be jealous." Lied Erza.
That was when they ran into Robin and a rather bitter looking Haruna.
"So how many Valentines did you get?" asked Robin.
"4." Answered Mami.
"I got 3." Said Robin.
"I don't want to answer." Muttered Erza and Haruna.
"I guess Erza got none as well." Said Robin with a smile.
Yeah…" answered Mami.
Both Erza and Haruna sighed.
"The day's not over yet." Said Robin.
That was when Momo, Ino and Shampoo joined them.
"So did any of you get Valentines too?" asked Momo.
"How many did you get?" asked Mami.
"Me and Shampoo both got one." Sighed Ino, "But Momo's gotten 4 already."
"Yeah…" said Momo blushing a little.
"Tied with Mami for most so far." Said Robin.
"How many did the two of you get?" asked Ino.
"I got three and these two got none." Said Robin.
"Stop bringing that up." Said Haruna.
Erza said nothing yet glared the harshest glare possible.
"Maybe we should avoid talking about this." Said Mami.
As they walked they ran they saw a Dwarf kick Harry in the shin to deliver a signing valentine. The two got into a fight but before anything could do anything to stop it. The dwarf ripped Harry's bag spilled the contents everywhere (including ink).
As it did, Momo saw the diary then she sensed it, it was weaker than before but there was no doubt. That was thing with the Hollow's Presence.
As crowds gather the Dwarf sang the valentine, which was awful… it better if it wasn't written. It's just that bad.
When it was all over Percy tried to defuse everything. However Draco grabbed the diary.
"Give it back Malfoy!" yelled Harry.
"Once I'm done with it." Said Draco.
However suddenly Draco's arms were forced behind his back causing him to fall.
"Who performed that spell." Said Percy looking for wands out.
However he was completely unaware that it was Momo who had done without a wand but rather with Kido.
"Momo…" muttered Erza quietly.
However Momo ran over to pick up the book.
"Hey thanks for getting that for me." Said Harry.
Momo's eyes widened, she realized it was Voldemort's diary.
"I need to talk to you about this later." She whispered to him.
Ginny was look at the dairy. She began to tremble.
Momo undid the Kido as the crowd dispersed.
Draco got up and yelled to Ginny, "By the way I don't think Potter liked your valentine."
Ginny turned to Draco scowling, "What makes you think that I sent it to him..." she muttered, "He's just an incentive jerk!"
In the realm of the gods they all stared at Ginny's reactions.
"Well… thanks to one of the many nails… Ginny is now a Tsundere…" said one of the gods.
"Didn't see that coming…" said the god who started it.
Back in the mortal world, Ginny stormed off making Harry's jaw dropped.
"What made her say that?" asked Harry.
"You didn't notice?" asked Mami, "She hates the fact you call her by her real name."
"Oh…" said Harry surprised.
"Don't worry I've seen her type." Said Haruna, "She claims she hates you but she secretly lied you…"
"Didn't you once say she didn't like Harry." Said Mami.
Yeah… but that was months ago." Said Haruna.
"Well we should head to class." Said Erza.
During class Harry noticed that the diary had no ink on it. Sometime that evening, he wrote in the diary and the diary wrote back. He managed to get to spill secrets…
Or rather the story of who got framed for it. Hagrid…
The next day he told the girls as well as Ron and Hermoine about what he saw.
"Hagrid got framed for the Chamber of Secrets." Said Mami.
"Well he was probably an easy target what with Fluffy…" said Ino, "And when he tried to raise a dragon…"
"Harry… you have to give the diary." Said Momo, "There an evil presence I can sense from it."
"What?" asked Harry.
"What kind of evil presence." Said Ron.
"It's hard to describe, but something tells me Voldemort did something else to the book." Said Momo.
"Are you sure it's not Tobiume…" said Haruna.
"I would have said if it was Tobiume." Mumbled Momo.
"I think I should hang on to and see if he tells me what else is going on." Said Harry.
"What!" yelled everyone else.
"Harry that thing is evil!" said Hermoine.
"Please something bad will happen." Said Momo.
"How else am I going to get the truth." Said Harry.
"Harry we know who opened it all those years and the monster is most likely a Basilisk." Said Hermoine.
"That's not what I meant." Said Harry, "I have a feeling that someone else opened the Chamber this time… and I can't get rid of it."
"Harry that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard!" yelled Erza.
Yet it didn't trump the stupidest thing she saw, which happened in her previous life when her friend Natsu dressed up like her during a trial so that they would think he was her (long story).
"Look if I can't make any inroads then I'll give it to you… okay…" said Harry getting up to leave.
The girls sighed.
"Something bad is going to happen." Sighed Momo, "I know."
"Can't you just make Harry give it to you." Said Ron.
"That would be obverse kill." Said Haruna.
"Besides it's probably best if I lay off everyone for a while." Said Erza.
"This isn't' because of yesterday is it?" asked Ino.
Erza glared at her… turns out by the end of the neither she or Haruna got a valentine.
"All of us will watch Harry and make sure he's not in any danger from this evil diary." Said Erza.
That was when Haruna started laughing.
"What?" asked Erza.
"I'm sorry… but it's just that… the idea of…" said Haruna she looked at Ron and Hermoine, "You know who making an evil dairy really silly."
"Fine… just get it out of your system." Sighed Erza.
Ron joined Haruna in laughing…
While it was indeed a little silly, it was still a serious matter… however little they know that it coming out of Harry's possession would be the thing that would cause the most problems.
Next Time: After finally convincing Harry to give the dairy to Momo, it turns out someone has stolen it. And even after month of no attacks, there's another attack, one that is possibly the worst of them all. That's not the worst thing though... The board of Governors want to Suspend Dumbledore and it will be up to Harry to make sure that won't happen. What else will happen? Find out next time.
A/N: That thing with the school play is indeed canon... I won't go into details but I will say fire was involved...
