Life went on, I knew everyone thought there was something wrong with me. Percy often looked at me with worry in his eyes. He thought I was sick and he forced Madam Pomfrey's draught for a cold. It worked instantly on people who have colds- but it left me smoking through the ears for a couple hours. Considering my red hair, this made me look as if my head was on fire. I knew that my siblings were making sure that I was in eyeshot of at least one of them at all times. I knew I was being followed, and the only time I got any peace was when I went to bed, and during lessons. Fred and George knew the entire castle from top to bottom, so it was easy for them to keep an eye on me. After a while, I didn't really care anymore.

I relied on Tom to solve my problems. He began to be more real to me. It was like having an older brother who actually understood me. He was patient. He was sympathetic; he listened to me.

"I'm so glad I've got this diary to confide in. It's like having a friend I can carry around in my pocket."

It's too bad more people don't understand you, Ginny.

"Oh Tom! No one understands me or my problems! I had to come to school wearing second-hand robes, and with second- hand books! Everyone else had new things for their first year at school, but me. I feel like such an outcast."

People like you, Ginny. I had to go to school wearing second-hand robes too. It's not your fault.

"I love you, Tom. You're so kind and understanding. My brothers tease me and play tricks on me all the time. You listen and write back to me."

Natural tendency for brothers to tease. I understand completely. They don't sound very nice.

"They're not, Tom." I'm sure of it. "Tom, I don't think Harry Potter will ever like me! He's so important and busy; he doesn't have time to pay attention to me!"

Really? Maybe you don't give him the chance.

"Perhaps. He's really handsome, and courageous. He even defeated you-know-who last year!"

If you wait, he'll probably like you, eventually.

"Do you really think so, Tom?"

"Tom, I have rooster feathers on my robes, and streaks of blood on my hands and I don't know how they got there! I can't remember where I was the last two hours!"

Ginny, you probably had an accident and knocked yourself out, so you can't remember where you were. It's ok.

I did remember that the Halloween Feast was that night, so I washed and headed downstairs. I was going down when I turned the corner and saw a crowd of people. Everyone was moving away heading toward their common rooms. I glimpsed Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking away with Dumbledore, Professors McGonagall, Snape, and Lockhart, along with Filch. Filch was carrying Mrs. Norris- she looked dead. I tore my gaze away from Harry and gasped. Large lettering was smeared on the wall in front of me in blood between two windows. A stiff cat hung in front of it.

THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN
OPENED. ENEMIES OF THE HEIR, BEWARE.

I fainted dead on the spot.

When I came too I was lying on my bed in my dormitory with Mia bending over me.

"Ginny?" she asked cautiously.

"I'm alright," I said, sitting up slowly. "I like cats a lot, and to see poor Mrs. Norris dangling there made me faint. It was very depressing!"

Mia snorted. "I've been in trouble already a lot because of that stupid cat!"

Most people felt the same as Mia. Nobody liked Mrs. Norris, and to ave her gone was great. Ron, however, did try to comfort me.

"But you haven't really gotten to know Mrs. Norris," Ron told me. "Honestly, I think we're better off without her." I felt worse, and my lip trembled. "Stuff like this doesn't often happen at Hogwarts," he assured me, putting his arm around me comfortingly. I wished so much it had been Harry's arm around my shoulders. "They'll catch the maniac who did it and have him out of here in no time. I just hope he's got time to petrify Filch before he's expelled. I'm only joking!" he said quickly.

It affected Hermione as well. She read a lot, but now she didn't have time for anything anymore. She didn't have any time to talk to me, or anyone.

To find out more about the Chamber of Secrets I went to the library and took out Hogwarts: A History. It was one of Hermione's favorite books. I heard her fuming a couple days later after I had borrowed it. She couldn't find any copies of Hogwarts: A History. They had all been taken out. I was reading it behind a stack of books and scrunched down low so Hermione wouldn't see me with the book. At least she was talking to Ron and Harry though.

It turned out there wasn't much on it anyway. Although, later I heard Hermione, Harry, and Ron telling Fred and George about it in the common room. I was 'doing homework'. From what I gathered, Hermione had asked Professor Binns, our only ghost teacher, and the most boring one, about the chamber of secrets.

"So, Slytherin splits with the other three leaving a chamber with a monstrous beast inside..." George started.

"And this creature is supposed to purge the school of all 'unworthy' to study magic..." Fred continued.

"And none of the headmasters or headmistresses has ever found it." George finished.

"Exactly," said Hermione, Ron, and Harry together.

not much of a cliffhanger... i promise there will be more of those.. muahahaha. also, in much later chapters she'll have a lot of interaction with other students. While she's possessed I always thought she was a bit quiet, and kept to herself.
