Sorry about it being so short. It's just a prelude though, so there's really not much too it. I'm one of those weirdoes who thinks that Tom was really a good guy.;) Right, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter etc. Don't sue me, please! ;-;

The Beginning

I was controlled by the image I was supposed to have. I was a younger version of the evil Lord Voldemort. Of course I was supposed to be evil, of course I was supposed to try to take over the world, or even, the world as I knew it. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But to me, after years of being stuck in a diary with nothing, I would have given anything to be a normal student at Hogwarts. Especially when Ginny got the diary, after so many years of waiting, I was so glad to have at least some human contact.

I knew what was expected of me. Sometimes when I would send her away to kill the roosters, or paint a message on a wall, I would feel like I was the one under a trance.

I even grew to love her, and yet, I grew to hate the fact that I knew one day I would have to kill her to gain for myself a human body, for an ideal I did not care about.

When that day came, I was so glad she survived. That I was killed, and the idea of the Chamber itself.
