Ginny looked around the classroom to see that all of her fellow students were occupied with homework or something of the sort. It was a free period to work on assignments, but Ginny seemed to be the only one not exactly working on school work. There was a small black book open in front of her, her quill in her hand. To anyone who looked her direction, it might seem as though she was busy writing a paper, but she knew she was not. Ginny realized that no one suspected her of anything, but she was still paranoid that someone might find out.

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone…

Ginny returned her attention to the book in front of her. The pages were yellow with age and all blank, except for the words she began to scribble. They said, "Tom, I'm not sure I want to do this anymore. I'm afraid of getting caught. What if I get expelled for it? Sure, all my brothers were either head boys or Quidditch stars. Then there's the youngest Weasley that got kicked out of school."

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams…

A second later, below the words Ginny had written, more words appeared on the page. "But Ginny, I need you to help me. I have no one else. And I need you to help me now."

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright…

Ginny began to write, "No Tom, not now," but her quill did not even get the chance to touch the page before her world went black.

Check my vital signs,
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone…

Ginny walked up to the teachers desk, an odd, glazed look in her eyes. "Excuse me, may I be excused? I need to use the restroom."

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone…
