The Forbidden Love

Dear diary,

Wow you have no idea how long it has been since I've written in a diary. I've been a bit scared about them since my first year at Hogwarts. But let me introduce myself. I am Ginevra Weasley, but I like to be called Ginny, I'm sixteen, I have six older brothers, and many think I am in love with Harry Potter, but I am not. I'm in love with no one or I at least shouldn't be. You see there was this one boy…no… man who I really felt attached to. His name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. He's actually the reason why I haven't written in a diary since my first year, but I will tell you why later. Tom's memory at the age of sixteen was set into a diary Lucius Malfoy, unbeknownst to everyone, placed in my cauldron when I was shopping for my first school year supplies. When I returned home I found it and started to write in it, he wrote back. I was first shocked seeing someone reply to my writing, but it soon wore off and I considered him my friend and confidant. He knows all my secrets. I thought I could trust him, but I couldn't. he soon took over my body during my stay at Hogwarts. I -in a trance, mind you, released a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets and had it paralyze Filch's cat and muggle borns that included one of my best friends, Hermione Granger. At the end of the year I was nearly killed by him (oh how much he broke my heart while doing that) if not for Harry, and then I realized who he really was or would become our world's most feared dark lord, Lord Voldemort. If it was possible that broke my heart even more! I still to this day scold myself for falling into that trap and yet…I wouldn't change it for anything. For once in my life I felt like someone had special feelings for me and not the other way around like I did for Harry. But I guess I should move on and forget all about that evil man, but when I knew him he wasn't like that. He was still a young man who could have changed I suppose, but that's impossible. It's almost dinnertime I should stop writing, till next time.

Ginny

Ginny sighed and closed her new diary given to her from Hermione last Christmas. It felt refreshing letting out her feelings of when she was eleven that she left bottled up inside herself. She walked down from the girls' dormitories and entered the Great Hall.

As she walked over to the Gryffindor table a wave of longing hit her. Harry and Hermione now a new couple were talking animatedly as if no one else was there. And Ron was sneaking glares at them everyone knew, except for Harry and Hermione, that Ron always had a crush on Hermione.

'I wish I had someone to talk to like that.' She thought longingly as she sat down next to Lavender and Hermione.

Lavender turned to Ginny and smiled, "Hey Gin, haven't seen you since breakfast. Where've you been?"

Ginny shrugged, 'At least I have someone to talk to.' "Around."

Lavender nodded, "Excited about the quidditch game? It is Gryffindor versus Slytherin, you know."

Ginny sighed, 'How can I be excited when everyone seems to be paired up, but not me? And the war is coming closer…' She smiled at Lavender, "Of course I am." 'What she doesn't know isn't going to kill her.'

Lavender beamed and started talking about the school's latest gossip.

"Malfoy and Parkinson are going out now." Lavender said as she took a bite of her chicken.

Ginny rolled her eyes, "Who didn't see that one coming?"

Lavender shrugged, "No one I guess, but I don't know. They seem to be the most likely pair to go out in the Slytherin house. But I had a suspicion that they would never go out just for that reason. It seemed to me Malfoy didn't like to be the predictable sort. And I am usually right about these things."

Ginny looked at Lavender questioningly, "Why are you so concerned about this?"

Lavender shook her head, "I don't know. I guess I'm just disappointed that I was wrong for once."

Ginny nodded and looked over to the Slytherin table. Malfoy was staring right back at her. Surprised, she raised her brow questioningly at him and he quickly turned away talking to Parkinson.

'Weird this has never happened before. I wonder why he was looking at me?' She thought, but quickly dismissed it. Malfoy was just probably talking to someone across from him and noticed her.

Dinner was over with and Ginny followed all the Gryffindors back to their common room. As everyone entered, everyone yet again, paired up with each other.

Ginny sighed with no one to talk to she went up to her dormitory and got ready for bed. Flopping onto her bed and looking out the window seeing a star sparkle brightly at her she sighed, 'I wish I had someone to love and for once love me back.'

She soon fell asleep without knowing her wish would be granted in a very unexpected way.

A/N: All right this is my first story where H/Hr are not the main couple and Ginny is a main character. So bear with me here. If I get enough reviews I will post more chapters quicker. Also the great grammar credit goes to my beta reader, Carla.
