Chapter Three: Chomping On The Bit

Ginny flung open Professor Dumbledore's door, she stumbled inside, nostrils flaring, hair all over the place. She tossed the diary onto his desk. She heard the door snap shut behind her and looked over at Ron and Snape.

She stared wildly around, Dumbledore let out a small smile and latched onto the diary, pulling it closer to him.

Ginny started to open her mouth to speak when her legs were kicked out from underneath her. She let out a startled cry and quickly scrambled to her feet. She looked wildly about, delicate nostrils flared.

She heard a wild laugh, she let out what sounded like a war cry of a horrible amazon woman, then quickly transfigured all of the walls into mirrors. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw her brother and Snape both flinch, Dumbledore just smiled. She breathed heavily, looking around the room.

"I'm right here you little..." She spun around, shouting out a jinx and hitting the mirror. The mirror almost split in to, smoking, showing the power of her rage. Her small body shook with the almost overwhelming emotions that had gripped her, Her green eyes bored dangerously into Tom's shadowed ones.

"You are going to die." She said in a calm, collected voice.

His mouth formed into a nasty red slash against his pale skin, the lip sneering back, exposing white teeth.

"And so will you."
