Chapter 18--------- Secrets untold, Secrets found out

-

Potions class. She hated it. Even if Tom was her partner, and even if he was able to intimidated Snape, into not taking points away from Ginny, she still hated potions. She turned her head from the black board, and looked at Tom, he was writing quite fast, his spidery hand writing still perfectly neat. She then quickly turned her head away, and started copying off the board.

Sure once and a while, potions could be fun, well, 1 out 100, but Snape alway ruined it for her and the other Gryffs. Ginny then dipped er quill into black ink, to continue her sentence. She felt eyes on her, and turned her head back into Tom's direction. Now they were staring at one another, looking each other dead in the eye.

He then ripped a piece of parchment, silently, so Snape would not hear it, and wrote quite fast on it. He then slipped the paper into her hand, and went back to writing. 'I think I'll wait till after class to read this.' Ginny thought, slipping the paper into her pocket. She then put her attention back to the assignment on the black board.

Ginny wrote until Snape dismissed the class. She would have to get the rest of the notes from someone, most likely Tom. She waited packed her stuff, and went to leave for her third class of the day. As she left the room, she felt someone grab her arm, she turned her head, and blinked, seeing Tom.

"Follow me."He said, more in a demanding way, then any.

"Fine, I don't want to be late, I have McGonagall next, I don't feel like being yelled at."Ginny said

Tom smirked, and guided her to Moaning Myrtles bathroom. Ginny took one look at were she was being brought, and her reflex's told her to run.

"We need to talk."Tom said "Read the paper."

"I need to get to class Tom."Ginny said

"Read the paper, or your not going anywhere. Personally, I don't care if I miss Sprouts class, since the class is a bore, in my personal opinion." Tom said

Ginny then frowned, taking out the paper.

"You couldn't just wait till you took me against my will to a girls rest room to ask this?"Ginny said

"I'm in no mood to ask questions, plus, I have to act as the person everyone here thinks I am."Tom said in a whisper

"Alright Thomas-Marcus."Ginny said

"Tom."Tom said "Just Tom."

"Your eye is twitching Tom, are you mad at me or something?"Ginny asked

"My eye is not twitching."Tom said, temper rising.

"It is."Ginny said

"Just tell me what you know about Snape. I need to send a full essay type thing about what is going on at this school."Tom said

Ginny frowned.

"Ginevra, tell me."Tom said "Or I will use force."

"Tom......"Ginny started

"1."Tom said

Ginny froze

"2. When I say three, well, three is just going to get you some very wonderful truth potions, love."Tom said

"Tom, I really need to get to class, oh look Harry, you may want to hide in a stall, it...er....wont be good for you to be seen in a girls restroom Tom, bye!"Ginny said, running out

-

Tom punched the wall in the bathroom. He did not care about the fact that it was quite solid, or the fact that contact with a fist, only resulted in sheer pain, no. He was quite mad. He walked out of the rest room when he was sure no one was walking by, and just pretended to be patrolling the floor, since he was prefect and all.

He had always been good at faking things, but whenever he did skip a class, one person would always interfere.

"Professor Dumbledore."Tom said, as politely as he could

"Mr. Riddly."Dumbledore said "Why aren't you in class?"

"Well, you see sir, I traded patrol time with my friend, thats why I am here."Tom said

"Which friend?"Dumbledore asked

'Why does it matter?' Tom thought 'I could get away with a murder, but I can't get away with skipping one stupid little class!'

"Mr. Riddly."Dumbledore said

"One of the girls in my year. I still am having trouble with their names, er.......Odessa, I think."Tom said

"Yes, she is supposed to be patrolling now, good day Mr. Riddle....."Dumbledore said walking away.

Tom went on walking, but stopped with realization. Dumbledore knew?

-

Ginny sat in McGonagall's class, luckily she made it before it was to late, and just got a lecture. She was worried, now that Tom was trying to use her to get information. Sure she did not like Snape, and sure, she thought he was a git. But he was helping the order out. If Tom knew Snape was spying, then, well Snape would probably be killed, and she would have all the guilt, knowing that she was the reason Snape would be dead.

She was so worried, that she totally ignored McGonagall, when asked to transfigure a teapot into a turtle.

After not listening, she was just sent out of the room, to Madam Pomfrey's, since McGonagall thought Ginny was sick. Usually Ginny listened during Transfiguration.

Ginny just walked down the hall, and almost let out a scream, as something pinned her to the hard, cold stone wall.

-

"Dumbledore knows!"Tom shouted in a whisper.

"He does?"Ginny said

"He just said 'Good day Mr. Riddle.' The git knows."Tom said

"He may have just let it slip, I mean, Riddly, Riddle, y and e. Easy mistake."Ginny said

"Did you say anything?"Tom said tightening his grip on Ginny's shoulders "Tell me!"

"No Tom. Let go!" Ginny said

Tom loosened, let go, and walked away.

'I am going to have a lot to say to my older self, and then I am going to get a howler, I could hear it now.' Tom thought

He stopped walking, and felt something hit into him. He turned around, with his wand out, looking down at Ginny.

"Why are you following me?"Tom asked "Wait, you agree to give me the information I need?"

"No, I need the rest of the potion notes, and I know you got them all, Mr. I-write-fast." Ginny said

"You have to learn to speed write, believe me love, you have to be able to in sixth year."Tom said, motioning Ginny "I'll let you write them, this time, but it will cost you."

"What do you mean Tom."Ginny asked

"Oh nothing love, you'll just have to wait, now Slytherin common room."Tom said

"Why not the library?"Ginny said

"Because the women in there will ask questions. The dormitories on the other hand, no one is there, unless some students have Binns this period, come on. Now." Tom said

Ginny followed, while Tom walked with many thoughts plaguing his mind.
