Chapter 21- Talks
-
Morning had come pretty fast, well, at least Ginny thought so. She missed being able to sleep all she wanted, like the summer, but now school was here, and she had work, and all that fun stuff, like every week day. She had made sure to finish any work given to her, an hour before she fell asleep, so she was safe. She had only gotten to sleep at 3:15 am, since the guilt of telling Tom the information about Snape was still in her mind.
She had done her morning routine, got dressed, and ready, and made her way to the great hall. Still half asleep, she walked down the halls, ignoring her surroundings, her focus only on the great hall. She felt like she was fully awake, when her brother put his hand on her shoulder. It had made her jump, and made him laugh. Ginny turned around and found herself face to face with the Dream Team. Harry was smiling at her, Ron was chuckling, and Hermione had a book in her and, and was giving Ron a lecture.
'Typical kind of morning.' Ginny thought.
"Ginny." Harry said
"What?" She replied
"Can I talk to you, er, alone?" Harry asked looking her dead in the eye
Ginny just stared at him, and then at Ron, who was giving her thumbs up sign.
"Fine." Ginny said following him. She followed him to moaning myrtles bathroom.
"A girl's rest room?" Ginny just said
"No one in there right mind comes here." Harry whispered
"What is it you wanted to ask me Harry?" Ginny just said
"Oh, right. Ginny would you go to Hogsmeade with me?" Harry asked with hope in his eyes.
Ginny mentally smirked. 'I wonder what he will do when I say no.' she thought
"Oh, I'm sorry Harry. But I'm already going with Tom." Ginny said, watching Harry's eyes go from hope, to sorrorow to disbelief.
"You're going with Riddly?" Was all Harry could say.
"Yep." Ginny said "Well I have to go, classes start in half an hour, and I want breakfast."
She smiled as she left Harry in the girl's room, with the look of disbelief still on his face. As she walked back to the Great Hall she still had the little smile on her face.
"Why are you smiling like that love?" Ginny heard
'I know his voice anywhere, and plus, Tom is the only person who calls me love.' Thought Ginny
"Oh, I don't think I should tell you." Ginny said
Tom moved closer to Ginny and moved his face close to hers. "And why not?"
"Because......"Ginny started
Tom moved a little closer, now Ginny could feel his breath on her face.
"Go on love." Tom said moving a little closer
"Ginny!"
Tom stepped away from Ginny, and moved behind, placing his hands on her shoulders. Ginny just turned her head to see Harry running up to were she and Tom were standing.
---------
'Potter.' Tom thought. 'Always ruining everything. But wait....'
"Ginny, get away from him." Harry said
"Why?" Ginny asked
"Because!" Harry shouted
Tom watched amused
"Potter, ever think that maybe, just maybe the lady does not want to listen to you." Tom said
"Just go away Harry." Ginny said
"Fine Ginny, but I am going to have to go tell Ron that I could have sworn the two of you were going to get into a snogging session in the middle of the hallway." Harry said, walking away
'The git is going to get her overly protective brother to attack me, again. Great, just great!' Tom thought
"Ginevra, did I miss something?" Tom then asked
"Oh, er, I think he's mad that I just turned him down for a Hogsmeade date." Ginny said
'Well my day is looking up.'
"Great! We have so little time for breakfast!" Ginny said, scowling.
"Well let's just go to breakfast." Tom said
"You better have a plan on how we will get a well balanced meal, Riddly." Ginny then said bitterly
"Your not to sweet when your hungry." Tom found himself muttering
"If you think I'm bad, you should see my brother without food." Ginny said
"I'd rather not." Tom said. Then the two headed into the Great Hall.
-------
After Tom and Ginny entered the Great Hall, they noticed Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout were missing from the staff table.
"That's odd, were do you think Dumbledore and the other teachers are?" Tom said, lost in thought
"If they aren't here, maybe classes are going to be cancelled!" Ginny said with hope in her eyes.
Tom looked at her and smirked.
"If the teachers aren't here, wouldn't you think they are in there classrooms?" Tom said, his smirk turning into a pleased grin, watching all the hope in Ginny's eyes leave.
Ginny seemed to be ready to say something, as Tom walked away, beckoning her over to the Slytherin table to join him in breakfast.
-------
Albus Dumbledore sat in an overstuffed chair in the staff room. Joining him were professors of the main subjects the school taught.
"Why are we here Albus?" McGonagall asked
Dumbledore just looked at the teachers and said "I have called you here, to warn you or just tell you something I have noticed."
"What Albus" McGonagall said asking for the teachers
"I have reason to believe that Tom Riddle is attending the school." Dumbledore said, receiving horrified glances from the teachers
"But how?" Sprout asked
"Mr. Riddle was always quite good with telling a story." Dumbledore said
"Let me guess, Riddly?" Snape said
"I believe. They could be the same person, but only appearance wise are they semi different." Dumbledore said
"I told you that the story seemed a bit....different." McGonagall said
Dumbledore nodded "In all honesty, I have known this since I spoke to the boy on the day the students arrived."
"Then why did you wait so long to tell us Albus, the boy is threat to the whole school!" McGonagall said
"Why don't we just notify the Ministry, and tell them to cart him away, and have him spend life in Azkaban?" Snape said
"As long as I am headmaster, no student will be sent away to that terrible place. Yes the boy has committed horrible crimes, but maybe we could get him to our side." Dumbledore said
McGonagall let out a laugh "The boy is pure evil. I was in seventh year when he came here. He made my time as Head girl a nightmare, along with the other students in his house, but he was just the worst. The boys a threat, at age 11 he was showing that h........wait even now, he being He-who-must-alright Albus, Voldemort, shows a sign that he does not mind killing, obviously."
"Tom Riddle is not Lord Voldemort.......yet. Tell me, how is the boy in class?" Dumbledore asked
"He is above 5th year charms."Flitwick said
"He seems bored in Herbolagy, and he is always the first one able to answer the questions, he would probably be better in 7th year classes, or maybe later 6th year courses." Sprout answered
"Mr. Riddle should have been in 6th year." Dumbledore said
"Albus, the boy is always hanging around Miss Weasley, you don think he's planning on doing anything to her, like he did 4 years ago, do you?" McGonagall said worriedly
"No Minerva. I don't think he is plotting anything against her." Dumbledore said 'At least I don't know if he is.'
-------
"Tom?" Ginny asked
"Yes?" Tom answer
"I told you so." Ginny said
"Who would have thought we would have classes off because of an urgent teachers meeting, it is totally unlike anything that ever happened when I came here." Tom mumbled
"Again, I told you so." Ginny said
Tom just glared and then gave a smile. 'This should get her to stop saying I told you so.' "I need to speak with you Ginevra."
"What?" Ginny said
"Follow." Tom said
"Where are we going?" Ginny asked
"You'll see, you know what, this should work better." Tom said walking behind Ginny, covering her eyes with his hands. "Trust me." He murmured into her ear
'What is he planning? I'm a bit scarred now......'Thought Ginny
"Tom, tell me where we are going." Ginny said
"That love, is the surprise." Tom said into her ear, walking her to the second floor girl's bathroom.
Ginny heard Tom speaking parseltounge, and that's when she knew where Tom was taking her.
"No Tom." Ginny whispered
"Ladies first." Tom said chuckling as he pushed Ginny down the slide type pipe. All he heard was Ginny cursing him out, and then he went down.

Thanks for reading, I'll try and update faster. But my advanced warning is:
I have science fair project to work on, so that will take up my time, so I might not update to soon. Hopefully otherwise.
But I could say, I could probably write some more chapters while in math class, Italian class, and technology, who knows. I wrote this one in S.S due to a sub. Cant believe I was able to write it in with Chaos all around....lol, dinner!
:::Riddled-Slytherin:::
When I posted this chapter, I was just going to go use the spell check.......like I would normally do, but no spell check, so sorry for all the errors!
