FACE IT
CHAPTER FOUR
Nowadays, Bill's visits had one problem- His presence had to be packaged along with Phlegm. Despite all her attempts to see the "positive" aspects of Fleur, Ginny disliked her. Ginny was sick of Fleur treating her like a four year old, trying to change her wardrobe from the mass of red and black, to pink and pastel colors.. She often wondered if Fleur even had any positive aspects.
Like now, Fleur was rambling on and on about how Ginny had beautiful hair but had to have it styled. Ginny fought hard to roll her eyes. She wondered what Bill ever saw in Fleur.
...but she adores him...even after the werewolf attack.. Ginny thought grudgingly. Her thoughts were interupted by Fleur-
"Ze package...ah...Bill and me 'az got you a dress in that 'orrible color," Fleur said with a toss of her annoyingly beautiful silvery blonde hair. She handed it to Ginny who would've made a face at Fleur, if it hadn't been for Bill's sake.
Unwrapping the package, a sea of black fell on Ginny's lap. Frowning, she picked up the fabric and hung it loosely on her to see that it was actually a strapless black minidress. It was made of black silk and very elegant. It was stunning morelike, yet it could have been more of Ginny's taste if it weren't that short. Along with the dress was a pair of black heeled shoes with studded gems. Again, if it hadn't been those annoying heels, Ginny would've loved them.
Now, on her lap, was a thin silver laverie with a heart shaped silver pendant. It was beautiful. Ginny let out a gasp, her face was glowing this time.
"Wow! Thanks," she said smiling as the two beamed.
"So, Head Girl, Mum told me as soon as we arrived," Bill commented as Ginny laughed.
"Fred and George will be furious,"
Just then Mrs.Weasley bustled in with butterbeer and sandwitches.
"You might want to complete your last minute homework, Ginny dear," Mrs. Weasley said as Ginny shook her head.
"Nah..I'm talking with Bill and Phle-Fleur,"
"You go ahead, Gin. We're staying here till tommorow," said Bill as Ginny nodded grudgingly and went towards her room.

It had taken Bill's visit to remind Ginny of how quiet the house suddenly was. Mr. Weasley was at work and The Trio had gone somewhere...abandoned her. The Burrow had always been packed with people and full of noise and activity.. Now every member of the family had gone in different ways. She was left alone. A wave of nostalgia crept over her as she grasped the handle of her room door.
After casting a Silencing charm, she entered her room bolting the door.
She dumped her new things on her trunk as she spotted something hiding behind her new dress. Frowning, she grabbed whatever it was to find it was a Diary.. It was leather bound and Ginny as stroked it, something seemed familiar about it. As she was about to flip back the pages to check the name of the owner, the pages rustled back to the front page. As Ginny read what had been written hours ago, she shrieked with fear.
It was the Diary. She wanted to throw it to the opposite corner, yet she knew it would somehow come back to her. Or, like once, he would come out of the Diary. A mixture of fear and disbelief struck her as her hands shook. She was as she had been in her first year, helpless.
She knew he had come back all along, Ginny realized. Yet, she hadn't wanted to face the consequences. The Diary was proof that he had come back, it made things seem more real.
How did he ensure I got it though? she thought confused. Then, the scene flashed before her.
He stretched his hand containing the Potions package, she grabbed it from him and apparated in mid run.
He had slipped it in the package. She crawled towards her trunk, lifting the dress and laverie to find that the Potions package was torn into shreds. That confirmed it..
Before she could react, the Diary opened again, the previous words erased. Freshly written words appeared from nowhere:
You can't escape, dear Ginny. Face It!
She was transfixed, her eyes were glued to the words of the Diary. The effect was that, the words were echoing in her mind. Face It! Face It! Face It! She stifled yet another scream of terror, not that it would've mattered. The room was made soundproof by her.
Her hands moved towards her quill, she knew what she had to do.
She knew Tom better than anyone. Better than he would've ever imagined... If she dodged this one, he would plan another form of contact. That would probably be ten times more deadly.. Taking a deep breath, she grabbed her ink bottle from the nearby shelf and uncorked it.

Harry ate a spoonful of bacon, deep in thought. The four other Horcruxes had to be somewhere around the world. Somewhere memorable to Voldemort.. Dumbledore had hinted so before he died.
Harry never knew Dumbledore's death would make such a huge impact on his life. He, like many others had taken Dumbledore's existence for granted. Every fix Harry was in, since he had reached The Godrics Hollow, he had thought of asking Dumbledore. Then, he remembered Dumbledore was dead. He would never come back.
Even now, his death seemed like a bad dream to Harry. It simply wasn't possible, Dumbledore The Greatest wizard, dead. There was only one person he missed more than Dumbledore-
That was Ginny Weasley.
Her long flaming red hair and those thoughtful, strong and innocent brown eyes of hers flashed in his mind.. He missed her. Yet, he had to leave her. She would get killed to, otherwise, and it would be Harry's fault then.

Face whom? Surely not YOU?
Ginny printed the words, waiting for the ink to fade. It sounded fearless and as though she were mocking him.. She wished her emotions matched those words. Finally, the ink faded and new words appeared.
Nice Try, Ginny Love. You can't fool me.
Her heart began to beat faster. He's just playing with my mind. Ginny thought trying to abandon her fear. Yet, the more she tried. The more it increased. Her hands were now shaking madly, she wrote beneath his comment:
Or so you think, Tom..
She had wanted to write "Tommy" instead of Tom, yet she prevented herself from doing so. They both knew he could see through her taunting words. They also knew, that she was no match for him. If he wanted something, it would be done. Yet, Ginny wasn't going to give up. She was going to make him pay for what he had done to her years back.. It seemed the perfect time for revenge.
Only, she still feared Tom. He haunted her life, even after he had been destroyed earlier. Even before he had come back. He was her Boggart, she had told noone about this.
Her recently written line faded. More words appeared.
We'll see, won't we? Why not now?
Then, to Ginny's horror, he emerged out of the Diary.
