==*Racing Time*==

(A/N) I know just by looking at it this chapter will totally seem like a joke because it is. I decided to post the smallest chapter I have made so far EVER and decided to post it just to make you guys suffer. I know its been a while and such since I have posted last but this is all I could seem to do while my parents left for short periods of time during the day. Its VERY short I know but I definitely have more. I swear I do, but your going to have to wait three more days for it. I love to make you suffer. Anywho I know this is a very short chapter but its also terribly good. I read it too my step-brother, who has not even watched a HP movie much less read the book and he said that he wants to read the rest of my fic. I felt so special **grins happily** But anywho I really think you'll enjoy it. Its the freakiest chapter yet so it better be good. I liked it so that's all that really counts. Okay enough with the rambling hear you go! Go ahead and read I won't be stopping you any longer. Until next time...

~Love from Lizzie

(Disclaimer) Okay I think you should know this by now but this fic's plot, the silver serpent, Black's journal, and the voice in Ginny's head are the only things for me.

Chapter 4: Going Mad?

Ginny stared in complete awe at the sight of the familiar name of Sirius's brother. The shimmer of gold letters seemed to entrance her, captivate her. Even with her past experiences with mysterious books, she couldn't help but read it. It was almost as if someone was forcing her too. A voice deep in her mind kept calling her name. "Go for it, Ginny. Just because the last journal you had was evil doesn't mean this one will be the same. Go ahead and read it. You know you want to!"

I know I want to, Ginny argued back to the voice. But I don't now if I should. Somewhere in the pit of her stomach, something kept telling her that there was something very wrong about this journal, but eventually curiosity and temptation took over her and she hurriedly opened it up to the middle of the book dated October 22.

Just before she got to read the first word a knock came from the door. Ginny sighed irritably and looked up to see who was there. Mrs. Weasley stood in the door frame with her arms crossed and her foot tapping like mad.

"Why didn't you come down for lunch?" she asked with pursed lips.

Ginny rolled her eyes out of impatience." I did, Mum. I just left a little earlier than the rest of the other because I... I wasn't that hungry."

Knowing her own mum she knew she had realized by now what was going on. She knew that, somehow, Mrs. Weasley had found out about what was going on between she and Harry, for her eyes turned softer and her mouth loosened up its tension. She knew her daughter all too well to not know what was going on in her mind.

"Oh," Mrs. Weasley said in a gentle whisper. "Well could you maybe come downstairs with me for a bit? I haven't seen you all day."

Ginny glanced back at the journal on her bed and then back at her mother. She wanted her mum to be happy, but then again, something about that journal kept calling her back to it. Something about that little brown leather book made her want to sit where she was now and read it all day long.

"Ginny?"

Ginny was snapped back into reality and realized she had been staring at it again and didn't even know it. She shook her head to get that awkward feeling out of it and stood up from the bed making her way over to the door. Mrs. Weasley wrapped a loving arm across her daughters shoulders and led her out the door. She closed it behind herself and kept walking towards the stairs.

Ginny's heart began to beat harder and harder with every step she took. She began to breath irregularly and it almost felt as if she couldn't breath at all. Her arms began to shake and she felt as if she were about to faint. She knew that all the color had now drained from her face and her legs began to feel like jelly. Before her foot could even touch the first stair, Ginny took off in a wild sprint towards her bedroom once more. She could hear her mother calling her name, but it couldn't stop her. She just kept running; running as if her entire life and the fate of the world depended on the fact of her making it back to the little brown book still lying silently on her bed.

She tore open the door and propelled herself onto the bed. As soon as she felt the cold leather in her fingers the greatest feeling of glee came over her body and flooded her soul. She hugged the book tightly to her chest and began to laugh. It was a loud cold evil laugh, one in which she would never expect to heard come out of her own self. She laughed harder and louder than she ever laughed before and didn't even know why she was doing so in the first place. It made her break out in a cold frightful sweat just by hearing the horrid laughter in her ears even if it was coming from her own mouth. Her face turned deathly cold and she felt as if she were about to faint from terror.

In one quick flash, she slapped her hand across her mouth to stop the laughter, she herself, couldn't control and all at once it ceased to exists. What had just happened? Had she gone mad? Her shaking still hadn't stopped, but she managed to stand up to her feet once more. She rubbed her arms nervously and bit her bottom lip because it was starting to tremble with fright. She stood there a while and waited for her pulse to return to normal and disappear from her ears then she walked out of the door with the journal still unconsciously in her hands.

(Summary of Chapter 5)

Ginny finally has the chance to read Black's journal even though something inside herself is telling her not to. What she finds, she must never tell another soul because now she can trust no one.

(Thankies)

~Sarcasm Sage- Wow! Very long good review! You definitely should write more like that. It's very helpful. I felt so proud that you couldn't find any errors. I was like blushing when you said it was really good. I'm so happy you like it. I try. Well I want you to (if you have time) review this one like your last review. All the way down to the last comma. Besides it will help improve you editing skills for English class. Thanks again.

~cristen- Oh well too bad about your review getting erased. I have that happen to me alot so I just hurry and copy the review before I submit it just incase it says something stupid like "you've already reviewed this chap. before" I hate that and I know damn well I didn't too. Thanks for trying.

~Mist Emoun Tains- Yay! I'm a fantastic Writer? I feel so special now! *grins broadly at the computer screen*

~xzaire- Okay so maybe I was trying to justify the title just a little bit, but I also though it was kind of good too. You didn't like it? Oh well I tried. Oh yeah and what do you think about this chapter? Another evil chapter huh?

~jac- I was wondering when you were going to pop up in my review list! I'm happy you found it. And do you really think I'm brilliant? Oh and by the way next chapter I'm gunna say what's in Black diary. Hope you can wait till then.

~RussellGrl 15- Thanks for reviewing. I love R/H too! They are so sweet together. I just HAD to put that scene in my last chapter. It was just too sweet to leave out. Oh and thanks about the whatsoever. Now that I look at it, it really does look cool.

~VoicezWithin- I loved the fact the Ron called Hermione "Woman" I though also that it was a very Ron thing to do. They are so cute aren't they. I think that Ron is just the most precious person EVER so I had to give him a chance at his dream job and he wouldn't just be following Harry around everywhere. Thanks for saying the thing about my fic going well I think so too. Now tell me what you don't like. Don't worry I can take it. Give me your best shot. *ducks and covers* Please don't hurt me...
