Hello again diary. I'm writing this while tucked under the covers. You see, I'm quite upset about recent events. I overheard Professor McGonagall say to one of the other teachers that Ginny had been taken by 'The Monster,' and now we all have to be escorted to classes by teachers at all times. Nobody is allowed to wonder off alone.

I really hope that Ginny will be ok, as I haven't a clue who this monster is or where he has taken her. She was the only person around here who was nice to me. Other than Rowena Ravenclaw, that is.

One thing is for certain; it isn't just someone joking around. This is serious. Ginny needs to be found and saved. I wonder whether she is in this 'Chamber Of Secrets' that the whole school seems to be talking about?

It's funny, abnormal events in school apparently began to take place around this time last year, and it was Harry Potter and his friends who were there to save the day. I wonder if they will do the same thing this time? I really, REALLY hope so.

Oh dear, I really must go now, I can hear footsteps, it'll be one of the teachers coming to check on us, I'll be dead if they catch me! (And, after recent events, I'm not so sure on how big an exaggeration that really is.)

Goodbye!
