I just changed chapter one a bit. Nothing special. Just made it a bit longer with more personality and less boredom. Chapter six is in the making!
Chapter one
Ginny Weasley had just run up the tattered, old stairs of the burrow, to her small bedroom that she shared with her older brother Ron. She was crying because Ron had just revealed to Harry Potter that she had liked him. Harry Potter had been staying at the burrow for a couple of days after Ginny's twin brothers Fred and George and Ron had rescued him from the Dursleys in their fathers flying Ford Angela. You see Lord Voldemort, one of the strongest dark wizards of all time, had killed Harry's parents. Ever since then he had to live with the Dursleys, his aunt and uncle. Anyway, Fred, George and Ron had broken into the Dursleys home and took Harry away to the burrow. Ginny had actually fallen in love with Harry after Ron had gotten home from Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry and told her all about Harry and the adventures they had, had that year. As Ginny cried she decided to take her mind off things by looking at her schoolbooks.
She picked up her small pewter cauldron and took out the books. The standard book of spells grade one was a brilliant red book with a golden cloth wrapped around it. The second book was called Herbology for beginners. It had a brown leather cover with the words "Herbology for beginners" engraved in a dark green color. The third book was called potions level one. It had a bright green color to it and the words were written in a bold black. The rest of the books were all Gilderoy Lockhart books. She lifted them up and under them was another book. It had a black leather cover and brownish – yellow pages. On the back it said, "Tom Marvolo riddle" and underneath that "diary". Ginny quickly opened the diary to find several blank pages. Oh well. She thought. At least I can use it for myself. She flattened the pages with her hands and began to write, " August, 20th, 1999" and under that she wrote "Dear diary, my name is Ginny Weasley, I"- But before she could finish her words dissolved into the paper. Suddenly her writing had been replaced with new words, they said:
Hello Ginny Weasley, my name is Tom Marvolo riddle. But you can call me Tom.
Ginny quickly wrote back in messy handwriting,
Hello Tom, how are you in this diary?Ginny, first I must ask you if you are a muggle?
Of course not!
All right, well to answer your question, I preserved myself in this diary when I was sixteen.
Out of curiosity. Ginny began to write. Did you go to Hogwarts?
Actually, yes.
It's my first year. Ginny began. I found you…I mean the diary in my pewter cauldron when I was looking through my books.
Interesting…so tell me about yourself Ginny.
Well. Ginny began. I don't know if I should tell you all about me…as you are a stranger – book.
Don't make me laugh Ginny. I-How can a book laugh? Ginny interrupted with giggling at Tom's stupidity.
Ginny, Ginny, Ginny…If I could just begin to explain to you the complexity of the diary then-Well how about you explain it then, Mr. I'm – so – smart.
Ugh…look I'm going to negotiate with you. If I tell you all about the diary then will you tell me a bit about yourself?
Okay, Tom Marvolo.
Please don't call me that. JUST TOM, okay? Oh and not "Tommy" either.
Why would I call you Tommy?
Bad experiences predict it.
Well, anyway TOM about this diary?
Well, when I was sixteen I discovered a spell that would preserve my sixteen-year-old spirit in an object…much like an ancient Egyptian spell I heard of once. So I preformed the spell and decided to place it in my old diary that I never used anyway. Although I did want a way for my spirit to communicate with people so I placed another spell that would allow me to write to people who found my diary.
I still don't understand how a book can laugh.
Ha, ha.
Tom, that wasn't funny.
Ginny, you have no sense of humor. And besides I was just kidding. I'm pretty much in another realm where my spirit is preserved. I can laugh just not when I write.
That's pretty whacked out Tom.
What can I say; we live in a pretty "whacked out" world.
Well I have to-
Hold on! Tom interrupted. You didn't hold up your part of the deal Ginny!
You need to tell me a bit about yourself!
Clever little sneak aren't you?
Yup!
Ugh. Anyway my full name is Ginevra Molly Weasley. Molly being my mothers first name. I hate being called Ginevra so don't you dare call me that! And I am warning you Tom Marvolo Riddle I can throw this diary right in the trash! Anyway I live in a small, old house we call the Burrow because we're poor. My dads obsessed with muggles. My oldest brothers Bill and Charlie have graduated from Hogwarts and moved on to careers. Charlie is a dragon tamer in Romania and Bill works at Gringotts in Egypt. My brother Percy is a prefect, nerd. My other brothers Fred and George (they're twins) are pranksters. Oh, and my brother Ron just loves to make fun of me. He and his stupid, attractive, best-friend Harry make fun of me all the time. That's about all I can say.
Thank you for being so descriptive Ginevra. I-
DON'T CALL ME GINEVRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry GINNY, I didn't realize it offended you so much. So about this attractive Harry character-
"Ginny! Dinner!" Ginny's mother, Molly, called up the stairs.
Tom its dinner I really should be going now.
Alright good-bye Ginny. Talk to you later alright?
Sure Tom Marvolo Riddle. Goodbye
See you later!
Tom wrote as Ginny closed the diary. "Coming mom!" She yelled down the stairs. She couldn't wait to talk to Tom again.
Did you like it? I hope so. Until next time....
