Entry #10: October 21st
Dear Tom,
It's so bad! Some Slytherin girls were making fun of me and locked me in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom!
~Who's Moaning Myrtle?
A ghost. She was a student at Hogwarts and now she stays in the bathroom on the second floor.
~I see. Do you know anything about how she died?
No. Nothing.
~So...
She whines and complains all the time and is always crying. Hardly anyone ever goes in there because of her, but I really had to use the toilets. And the Slytherins were in there up to something no good I suspect and they made fun of my robes (they've all got new ones) and they locked me in!
~That's terrible! How mean!
And, and then Myrtle was laughing at me and I started crying.
~How did you get out?
A third year Ravenclaw eventually came in. I think her name was Cho. Anyways, she unlocked the door and let me out. But I was really late for Potions and Professor Snape gave me a detention. I'm so ashamed.
~Don't worry about it. You're not hurt are you?
No, but the whole story is going around school and it's so embarrassing!
~Worse things could happen Ginny!
Oh Tom! You're my best friend in the whole world!
~You are my best friend too Ginny!
I wish I could leave here and just live in there with you.
~That's very sweet of you! Now I want you to go have a nice bubble bath and relax. It will make you feel better.
Okay, thanks Tom!
~Bye for now!
Author's Note: Doesn't Tom just sound so sweet and good? If only…
I thought it would be a good thing to add Moaning Myrtle in earlier. Since Tom knows that hardly anyone goes into that bathroom, it will be safe to open the Chamber of Secrets without anyone seeing! Also, Ginny is very emotional and is putting everything from herself into Tom. He's growing stronger!
