Okay...THANK YOU ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY REVIEWWWWEDDDDD!!!! Especially Amy X. Anyway...I wrote chapter three when I was in detention...(I was late for class to many times...) But don't worry...I don't think it will affect it in anyway. Okay I'm gonna try and make a code here...


GINNY TOM

Yeah...so anyway enjoy this chapter! (It kept me entertained in detention!)

It was the last day at the burrow before Ginny's first day at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. Fred and George had just thrown a firework show in the kitchen, and now Ginny was writing about it to Tom.

And the fireworks were amazing! There was one that spelt out Harry's name...OH, OH! And there was one that showed a lion roaring and stepping on this hissing snake, I thought that one was the best!

Tom Marvalo Riddle shuddered in his memory. "A lion stepping on a poor, innocent snake." He muttered. "That's just sick." But in his reply he wrote:

That's fascinating! I wish I could've seen it.

Yeah it was really great...I can't believe I'm going to Hogwarts tomorrow!

Yes, it's always very exciting going there. In fact I remember my first day.

Oh, what happened Tom?

Sorry Ginny it would be too long to write.
Toms writing disappeared and more writing appeared again.

But I can show you.


The diary began to magically flip pages until it reached the date September 1st 1943. The diary then glowed in a strange way and started to suck Ginny's figure in. Ginny would've screamed but it was so breath taking that she was afraid if she opened her mouth and tried to speak, her lungs would come out to. She closed her eyes and when she opened them she was crouching in a beautiful hallway. It was black and white like an old film.

As Ginny looked at the hallway more carefully she realized that she was in a Hogwarts hallway. What other place would have statures here and there and talking portraits? She decided that Tom might have decided to show her one of his memories so she decided to go find him.

As she walked through the hallways she heard a boy laughing. It sounded cruel as though they were making fun of someone. She walked faster to where she heard it and then ran as the laugh grew louder as she reached the next turn. When she turned the next corner she saw what looked like the great hall. There were four beautiful wooden tables, each with a banner over it with an animal on it. Ginny looked around in awe at the beauty of the hall, but to whom did the laugh she heard belong to? Then, sitting a couple of feet in front of her she saw a handsome, black haired, Slytherin boy laughing – it was the same laugh Ginny had heard before. "Tom." Ginny whispered.

Ginny, feeling a little embarrassed that she was standing in the middle of the great hall with only pajamas on, slowly walked over to where Tom was sitting. She sat down next to him and said barely over a whisper. "Hello, Tom." He ignored her and kept talking to the Slytherin sitting next to him. She decided that Tom probably hadn't noticed that she had sat down next to him, so she poked him in the ribs and said, "Hello?" She still got no response from the handsome Slytherin. Ginny was really getting frustrated with him so she punched him and yelled, "HELLO! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME???" This time Tom didn't even acknowledge that she had punched him, let alone yell in his ear. In fact, no one seemed to notice. So Ginny decided to just listen in on their conversation. "So, anyways." The other Slytherin boy began. "Enough about that. What do you want to do after Hogwarts?" "Well." Tom began to reply. "Like I mentioned before, Malfoy, I'd like to study the dar- but he didn't have time to finish because professor Dippet had begun his speech. "So begins another fantastic year at Hogwarts!" He then continued, "I hope everyone's summer was enjoyable!" Ginny noticed that Tom started to shudder when summer was mentioned. Professor Dippet continued the speech when suddenly Ginny felt that same "being sucked into a vacuum cleaner slowly" feeling when she was being sucked into the diary. She flew out of the diary and back into her chair in one swift motion.

She opened the diary and began to write to Tom:

Whoa...what happened? I mean, I was sucked into the diary; I guess I just witnessed one of your memories, but why could I move around and touch things but not talk to anyone. I don't even thing people really acknowledged my existence!

You're right Ginny, you were sucked into the diary and you did witness one of my memories. You couldn't talk to me because that first year me was a memory and memories cannot be changed. And people couldn't see you (and this also goes for why they couldn't talk to you) because you were just watching a memory. It's kind of like muggle television, you can see the people and hear them, but they can't see or hear you.

Great analogy Tom, that really explained it to me. But, that memory didn't teach me much about the first year. It just showed me that the headmaster gives a supremely boring speech during the opening feast and that Slytherin's talk too much. What were you talking about anyway?

We were talking about what we wanted to do after Hogwarts.

I know that, but what were you talking about before?

I don't really remember. It wasn't important.

If it wasn't important then I don't care.

Good I was afraid you would ask more questions.

Suddenly messier handwriting appeared underneath it that said:

Which is a good thing.

That made a lot of sense. What are you trying to hide from me Mr. Tom Marvalo Riddle?

Nothing, nothing at all.

Sure you are Tom. Come on you can tell me anything.

In his memory Tom whispered, "Oh but I can't." "You have no idea Ginevra." But in his response he wrote:

I know, Ginny, I know. I'm just tired of writing love, and I don't feel like writing anymore-long explanations.

Ginny blushed when she saw the word "love" appear on the diary's paper. She wrote back:

No its okay "Tommy love". I won't ask questions.

DON'T EVER CALL ME "THAT" AGAIN!!!

Ginny laughed and wrote back:

Okay Tommy, I'll never write that again.

Tom was really angry. He hated it when people made fun of him, he just hated it, but he didn't want to do something he would regret. So he just wrote back:

All right GINEVRA, you know two can play this game.

DON'T CALL ME BY MY FIRST NAME TOMMY!

MAKE ME GINEVRA!

TOM!

Look, Ginevra this is stupid. Lets make a deal, I won't call you by your first name if you won't call me well...you know.

What Tom? I don't know.

Yes, you do Ginevra.

Nope. No idea.

Oh come on! Fine, I won't call you Ginevra if you won't call me...Tommy. DEAL?

Deal Tommy.

Okay, good.

Ginny began to yawn. It was late and she wanted to go to bed so she wrote:

Tom, I'm kind of getting tired but I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?

All right Ginevra – Ginny.

Goodnight Tommy

Shut-up.

No.

Ginny closed the diary before he had time to respond and get angry again. She lay down on her floral print sheets and began to dream of Hogwarts. Hogwarts...and Tom.


Riddled-Slytherin please don't kill me for doing that whole "Tom calling Ginny love" thing you always do. I've actually had that in my head, way before I read your fiction. Oh and sorry I haven't updated in a while...I'm in honors math and our teachers been giving us hard homework every single day! So it's been impossible to update until now. And like I said I had detention today because I was late this morning, because I was writing part of this chapter last night! I finished the rest of the chapter in detention. So as I type this on my computer while listening to Evanescense I am really hoping that you will read and review!!!
