The Forgotten Time
"Did you hear about it, Ginny?"
Ginny turned to her best friend, Michelle, and asked, "Hear about what?"
"Oh, well, a transfer student is coming to Hogwarts, and he's in our year!"
Ginny smiled at her friend, who was extremely boy-crazy and asked, "Well, what's his name?"
"Uh, Tom, Tom Riddle."
Ginny's mind spun for a moment, her thoughts seeming to only focus on that name.
My name is Tom. What's yours?
My name is Ginny. It's short for Virginia. Virginia Kelly Weasley.
Ah, well, Thomas Marvelo Riddle, at your service ma'am.
"Ginny? Ginny, snap out of it."
Ginny looked blankly up at Michelle. "Oh good, you were starting to zone out on me
there." Michelle grabbed a pear from the bowl, and started eating it. A moment later, she put down the fruit. "You're awful quiet today Ginny. Thinking about the new boy?" she said in an accusatory tone.
"Ack, no, not like that, anyway!!!"
"Then how, huh?" Michelle said, waggling her eyebrows at Ginny.
Ginny sighed muttered something along the lines of, "I give up," and went to sit beside her
brother.
"Hey Ron."
Ron turned to his sister and said, "Oh, hey Ginny."
"Have you heard about the transfer student?"
Hermione answered with, "I think everyone in school's heard of him by now. Rumor is that he's a total hunk with a heart of gold. As if rumor could be believed!"
Ginny felt slightly bad because she at least hadn't heard of him, but she just waved her hand at that and said, "Yeah, but have you heard his name?"
Harry said, "Yeah, Tom Riddle, so what?"
Ginny shifted her perspective to Harry and said, "What d'you mean so what? This is Tom
Riddle! Don't tell me you don't remember or something like that!"
Ron put in, "What's the big deal Ginny? Yeah, it may be a kinda strange name, but it's nothing to fuss over."
Ginny's mouth hung open. "Second year? Do you remember anything?"
Hermione said, "Pretty boring year, that one," she leaned on Ron's shoulder for a
moment, then pushed herself up. "I gotta do something. I'll see you in a bit."
Ron said, "Bye, Hermione."
Harry gestured with his fork as he said, "What's the big deal? You're acting really weird Ginny."
Ginny flung up her hands and walked back to the Gryffindor common room, grumbling to herself on the way there.
