Chapter Five:

The Journal of Mr. H. Potter

-----

I can't read his diary.. No, it wouldn't be right. I yawned, streaching. The small book flew *accidently* from my hand, landing open on the bed next to me. "Opps.." I mutter, letting my eyes stray over the open page. After all, it just *fell* open.

'September 8th,

Nightmares again. Was walking through the hall with Ron when I heard someone calling my name. I could regonize the voice, but now I can't remember who it was. I began to run down the hall after soemthing, and then up the stairs, when the banister I had my hand on turned into a Balisk. I fell back down the stairs and some one caught me. It was Tom Riddle. Scar still hurts.

September 15th

Been loaded down with Potions homework, couldn't write. Just yesterday I went into the dungeon. I was going to get herbs for Snape when suddenly everything went dark. Tom was there. He was standing in the door watching me, with the Fang I plunged through the diary. I fell to the ground, I couldn't see anything. Suddenly someone was shaking me. I woke up, it was Riddle. I thought it was Riddle. I know I saw him. I couldn't move. All I could do was cry. Something stung the side of my face. I blinked a few of the tears out of my eyes and Riddle was replaced by Malfoy. I pushed him away. I didn't know where Riddle went, but I knew he was there. Not Voldemort. No, it was the memory from the diary. It was after me. I supose I should be grateful it isn't tormenting Ginny or Ron, but then again.. If it were one of my friends I could think straight. I wouldn't be haunted by horriable pictures of the young Riddle in the corner of my room...Not much happened afterward. Malfoy didn't seem as evil as usual. Im not going to look into it. I don't need two Slytherins haunting me.'

I flipped over the next few pages. He stopped talking about me, and Riddle and started talking about Granger and Ron. Boring stuff. How he walked in on the two snogging once. How they wouldn't admit to dating. Poor Potter. Seems hes losing touch with his little friends. Perhaps if he'd let me in for once, he'd understand why Granger and the Weasle do what they do. Its only natural. Its love Mr. Potter! ]

I snorted. Love. Blech. The word has been on my mind too much these last few days. Finally I reach the day on the Quiditch Pitch.

'Hermionie and Ron finally told me the truth about them. Hah! As if I didn't know already. But, something even worse *came out of the closet* today. Malfoy kissed me. He came out on the Pitch, began hitting on me, then kissed me. I haven't even kissed a girl yet. What makes Malfoy think he can kiss me? And why did I let him? I knew he was going to. I could see it. I could have ran away. I wanted to.. but I didn't. Im confused.. seriously confused.'

The next entry was about me too..

' I haven't written for awhile now. Too confused. I told Malfoy I didn't like him. He was going to cry. It was really new to see him look that way. It was even stranger when I found it hurt me to see him like that. Could it be that I love Malfoy? No, it can't be. Hes a nasty little ferret, and he should suffer for what hes been doing to me. I stopped dreaming about Riddle, now its about him. But the visions of the ebony haired boy looming in dark corners haven't left. Malfoy's dating Pansy. He must have been lying to me. How could he do that to me? I don't know what to do. This Janice girl keeps asking me about him. Shes insane, she keeps offering to take me to his dorm...'

The entrys stopped. I closed the book and a wave of guilt washed over me. I never meant to cause him such problems.. I only wanted to protect him. And then Riddle.. If Harry is seeing Riddle...should I tell Dumbledore? But then he'd know I've been in his *personal* things. And even if it sounds exciting to be touching something *private* of Harrys.. I shouldn't be with out his permission...

Dammit, why do I have to deal with this ON TOP of my homework?
