Entry #1: September 5th

Dear Tom,

My first week at Hogwarts is over and I promised to write to you so here I am!

Hello Ginny!  How was your week?

Not so good!  Classes are pretty interesting, but I haven't really made any friends!  I'm trying but I'm such a shy person.

You poor thing.  I'm sure you've got some people that you've talked with.  It just takes a little bit to get to know them that's all!

Well, there's a Ravenclaw 1st year that everyone has decided to pick on.  They keep taking her stuff.  Her name is Luna Lovegood.  I think she's all right, but the rest of the school doesn't seem to think so.  I feel bad for Luna, but I'm glad it's not me!

Being an orphan didn't make it easy for me to make friends either!  You just have to be patient!  They will see how wonderful you really are in time!

Oh Tom, you are just the sweetest!  But really, there's nothing special about me.  I'm not wonderful or anything.

Now don't be modest Ginny.  I've only talked with you twice and I can see what a lovely person you are!  And I'm sure Harry sees it too.

Do you really think so Tom?  Because it always feels like he doesn't like me!  He never talks to me or anything.

Maybe he's just shy too!

No, I don't think that that's it, but thanks anyways Tom!

So you still haven't told me everything about Harry!  Is he really that famous?

Honestly he is!  There's not a person in our world that doesn't know his name!

But who is You Know Who and how did Harry defeat him?

Well, we don't speak his name, but I suppose I could write it!  He is a bad dark wizard called Lord Voldemort.  He and his followers would kill any witches or wizards that stood up to them.  But no one really knows how Harry survived You Know Who's killing curse.  No one has ever done it before.  And that's why he is famous.  He brought peace to the wizarding world.

What happened to Voldemort then?

You really shouldn't write his name Tom!  I feel bad that I did in the first place!

Alright then, I won't anymore.

Thanks Tom, that makes me feel better!  But I don't have any more time to talk, I have to go down to dinner!  I'll write soon though!

Okay, goodbye for now Ginny!

Bye Tom!

Author's Note:  You can notice how Tom is being very sympathetic and making her feel bad for him.  He's starting to manipulate her already and has a growing interest in Harry Potter!  Also, in the HP books we hear about the Lovegoods in book 4 and see Luna in book 5, so I thought it would be an interesting idea to add her into this one that takes place in book 2!  Hope you enjoyed that little tidbit of information!  Please review!
