Title: Dear Tom…

Disclaimer: I've got a secret to tell ye!  I don't own Harry Potter!

Author's Note:  Okay, this is right after Ginny steals Tom Riddle's diary from Harry's dormitory.  She's more worried about what Tom told Harry than she is about how dangerous Tom is.

Entry #26: April 18th

Tom!

~ Hello Ginny!

Oh Tom!  You didn't tell him anything did you?  Please tell me you didn't!

~ Well I did talk to him once.

You didn't tell him anything I said did you?

~ Of course not Ginny!

Oh, thank goodness!

~ We're friends Ginny.  You didn't tell anyone about me, so I didn't tell Harry about you.

That makes me feel so much better.

~ But Ginny, why did Harry have my diary in the first place?

I ummm, I lost it.

~ Now Ginny, be truthful.

I threw it away Tom!  I'm sorry!  I was angry and, and I was scared.

~ I thought we were friends Ginny.

We are Tom!  We are!  As soon as I saw Harry with it on Valentines Day, I knew I had made a huge mistake.  I knew I needed you back.

~ Me back or were you just afraid I would tell Harry your secrets?

Both I guess.  But when I threw it away I didn't think I'd ever see it again so even if I wanted it back I couldn't!  Please forgive me Tom.

~ I'm very hurt Ginny, but I will forgive you this time!

Thank you Tom!  Thank you!

~ Just don't let it happen again!

I won't Tom.  I won't.

~ So what did Harry do with my diary?  How did you get it back?

Well, earlier today there was no one in the common room, and so I went to the boys' dormitories, and I figured if anyone was there I could say I was looking for Ron.  But it was empty.

~ So you just took it?

Yes!  I made a terrible mess of all his stuff, but I didn't know where he had put it and I had to be quick!

~ I would have never expected something like that from you Ginny!

I know, but I just had to!  I feel terrible!

~ Are you sure that no one saw you?

Positive!  Otherwise they would have said something by now!

~ Well, in any case, it's good to have you back Ginny.

I'm glad too Tom!  Bye!

~ Bye Ginny!
