~Chapter 3~
'Oh My God!' was all that Ginny would think. How could a person just disappear? Ginny was becoming worried. She looked all up and down the alley and the road of Diagon Alley. 'Where could he have gone to?' Ginny wondered. Then she decided to ask her mother,
"Mum, where do you think Harry could have gone to?"
"Ginny dear, I'm not quite sure. I know he will turn up. He can't be too far. We will find him, don't fret darling," Mrs. Weasly responded.
It was then that Ron made a suggestion.
"Why don't we just go into Flourish and Blotts. I'm sure he'll find us in there, or that he would know to look there."
Mrs. Weasly just smiled and went along with her youngest son's idea. They walked along until they came to Flourish and Blotts bookstore. An old friend was standing outside as if waiting for them. It was Ron's friend and schoolmate, Hermione Granger. She looked a little panicked, but when she saw the family walking towards her, her stress was relieved. It was then she said,
"Harry has been looking everywhere for you all. We figured we would wait here. I'm so glad we found you."
"Nice to see you too dear." replied Mrs. Weasly in a calm tone. She was then relieved that Harry was safe.
Ginny's relief was hidden well from the others around her. Yet her thoughts and her heart was pounding because she now knew that he was safe. She had to be sure that nobody knew what she was thinking, or that they could tell she was anxious to see Harry again. Instead, in the calmest voice she could seem to express, she said,
"I'm glad you're safe."
"Thanks," was all he said. Yet it was with a smile that made Ginny's heart melt.
The rest of the family walked into the bookstore to go get the books they will need for the upcoming year. Harry, Ron and Hermione went towards one end of the shop, Fred and George went another. All of them needed different books for the new school year. Ginny really didn't need to get books. She would be using the ones Ron did in the previous year. Instead, she just tagged along side her mother.
'It's not fair. Harry and Hermione can have new books. Why can't I?' Ginny sighed.
Ginny was only unhappy because of the fact that her family was unable to afford new things. She could never have what she wanted. They were always having to watch every galleon that was earned. As well as how much was saved. The only thing Ginny knew was that she was allowed to have new robes. But, the only downside was that the robes would have to last her at least two years. Hopefully she won't grow that much. 'Oh well.' She knows someday, by some chance that things will get better. At least she hopes so.

"Ginny dear, come take a look at this!" shouted Mrs. Weasly.
Ginny closed the book that she had buried her nose in (50 Ways To Make Yourself Invisible by Mia Visible). It was a book she had found in the Psychic Reading section of the store. Walking towards her mother, Ginny heard a vague voice. Ginny then tried to make sense of it, but the voice was gone before she was able to understand. It was if it had never existed. When Ginny reached Mrs. Weasly she tried to speak but was immediately interrupted. Mrs. Weasly started rambling on about how Ginny will be joining her brothers in Gryffindor, and everything else.
Ginny tuned out her mother out as usual. Her mind was still occupied by that mysterious voice she heard. It seemed as if it was a sign. Ginny was puzzled but looked as if she was listening to what her mother had to say. It was easy to pretend to pay attention. Ginny had been doing it for so long it was natural.
As Mrs. Weasly was finishing her on going sentimental talk with Ginny, an unliked person walked into the store. It was Lucious Malfoy, father of Draco Malfoy, and enemy of the Weasly family.
Mr. Weasly worked with Mr. Malfoy at the Ministry of Magic. Mr. Weasly worked on Muggle (non-magic folk) artifacts. He was quite intrigued by how the muggles lived. Mr. Weasly was currently at work and could not be with the family as they gathered their school supplies.
Mr. Malfoy on the other hand seemed that he was able to take off whenever he pleases. Ginny was not very fond of him. She cringed in his direction as soon as she saw him. Ginny was about to walk away and go back to the book she was reading, when Mr. Malfoy noticed the tattered book she was carrying in her cauldron.
"My, what a pity. Can't afford to buy a new book. You have to resort to the used section," sneered Mr. Malfoy.
Mrs. Weasly bit her tongue in hopes that she would not make a remark in front of her children. In fact, she didn't have to. Ron stepped forward and said it for her.
"Mind your own business, Mr. Malfoy."
Both Ginny and Mrs. Weasly were stunned at the comment. Harry and Hermione were laughing behind a bookshelf. It was then that Draco Malfoy walked in. As soon as he stepped in the store he made rude, inexcusable comments.
"Ron Weasly, I never would have thought you to have courage to stand up for yourself. I'm shocked."
"Draco, just shut up. I don't want to deal with you and your attitude."
Ginny was discouraged by the fighting. As she walked away she tossed both Mr. Malfoy and Draco a, evil glance. Mr. Malfoy caught this and realized he was still holding her tattered book. He replaced it into her cauldron but he also placed another book behind it. A black, leather bound book that was unnoticeable because it blended with the cauldron. Ginny didn't seem to be aware and went back to her reading.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later on that night, as she was packing her trunk and double checking that she had everything, she finally noticed the small, black book. Ginny took it out and flipped through the pages. To her amazement they were completely empty.
'Must be a diary of some sort,' she thought to herself.
Ginny went to her hiding place where she had her other diary, an ink well and a quill. Ginny sat on her bed and just stared at the book. A name came into vision on the book "Tom Marvolo Riddle." She didn't think much of it and decided that she might as well make use of it. The first thing she wrote was "Dear Diary."
After she had just finished writing the word "diary", the ink vanished, and other words appeared. The ink read, "I prefer Tom if you don't mind."
Ginny was astonished and wrote to "Tom" for the remainder of the night. It never occurred to her that "Tom" was actually Tom Riddle.
