A/N Hey all, this is my first attempt at a Ginny/Tom romance fanfic... so bear with me if it sucks. I think I'll make it good. The perspectives are going to change near the end of the story, when Ginny is actually in the chamber. The begining part is going to be written in a diary-like perspective, like she's remembering her day. Then later, I'm switching to a 3rd person perspective. I hope it works out...Anyway, please review and enjoy!!

The Truth of the Chamber
Chapter One -- At the Burrow and Diagon Alley
8/1/92
The Burrow
Oh. My. God. You'll never believe who is in my house!
Ready?....Harry Potter!
I was just leaving my room to go to the bathroom...and there he was, walking down my hallway! Oh my God, oh my God! It's okay, Ginny, breathe! It was just the Harry Potter walking down your hallway. I hope they didn't see me (yeah, Ron was with him, but who cares?)...I shut my door pretty fast. I wonder if Harry likes me...or even knows me. Well, that's enough excitment for one day. Can't take any more.

The Burrow
The letters from Hogwarts arrived this morning!! Well, after I knocked my porridge off the table... Harry just walked in, so I have an excuse, right? Aw, whatever. I just hope he didn't notice me. I know I usually want him to notice me..just not when I'm in my pajamas and have porridge on my lap.
Anyway, about the letters... I'm finally going to Hogwarts!! Whoo! I can't wait! But Mum has buy Lockhart's full series...five sets of them! I don't know how she's going to afford them...but she says they can. At least I don't have to live here when they've run out of money. I shouldn't be talking about this.
We're going to Diagon Alley on the fifth though, to buy our school things. I get new robes, a wand, oh I can't wait. This is way to much excitment!

The Burrow
We went to Diagon Alley today! I got a new set of robes (secondhand, but who cares?), a new wand (secondhand again, but who cares?)...And that Malfoy child called me Harry's girlfriend....but I don't think he meant it in a nice way. Harry and Ron didn't seen to like him much. And Dad didn't like the boy's father either. They even had a fight right in the middle of Flourish and Blotts! The manager kicked them out though. Mum was going on about what Lockhart must have thought of them, beating up people in public.
But Harry got lost! It was so funny. I don't know where he ended up, but Mum got mad at Fred and George. I wasn't paying attention....and I wasn't thinking of Harry, if that's what your thinking! Then Lockhart (who also announced that he's going to be our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher) saw Harry and forced him to take some pictures with him. Poor Harry, felt sorry for him.
Oh, and good news! Since this diary is running out of pages, Mum got me a new one! Well, she didn't ask me, but she picked it up at the secondhand store with the rest of my stuff. I'm going to write in it when I run out of pages in this one.
I'll be off to bed. Only 26 days left of summer.

Wow, I kind of forgot that I wrote this.... I just found it and I decided that I liked it, so yeah, I guess I'll finish it. I'm going to get to work now, on the second chapter, which isn't going to be in diary form. Aw, well, ya'll will figure it out. Have fun kids, and r-e-v-i-e-w!
