~Chapter 4~
The next morning Ginny woke with a big smile on her face. The sun was shining brightly over The Burrow, her home, and she could hear birds chirping. Or what she thought were birds anyway. She went to her hiding place, and took out her new diary.
"Hi Tom" was the first thing she wrote.
"Good morning Ginny." the diary replied.
It made Ginny feel special for once. She now had a "friend" that she could confide in and tell anything to. Ginny immediately knew that she was going to be able to tell "Tom" her life story and everything about herself. But most of all, Harry. How much that she loved Harry Potter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the day before she would be leaving for Hogwarts and she wasn't nervous at all. There was nothing to be nervous about anyway. She had four of her older brothers there to look out for her. As well if she needed a girl to talk to, she knew she could talk to Hermione. Hermione was like a sister to Ginny.
Ginny planned to spend her last day at home in her room. It wasn't because she didn't want to spend it with her family, she did. Ginny just preferred to have her last day peaceful. She wanted to make the best of her time before it would be filled with noise.
The diary was hidden under her pillow at the moment. Only so that nobody would know that it was there. Ginny made sure that no one was around before she went to reach for it. It was something that she had wanted to keep for herself. Her own secret. It was the most private thing she now had, and she didn't want anyone to find out about the diary.
As carefully as possible, Ginny reached under her pillow and took out the diary. She then started writing to "Tom".
"Tom,
Today is my last day at home. I leave for Hogwarts tomorrow. I'm really excited."
Then the diary had these words appear,
'I'm glad your excited. Hogwarts is a great school. The classes are fun too.'
"I know I'll have fun. Especially being away from my parents. They think I'm a prodigy or something. I hate being the only girl, as well as being the baby of the family."
'Don't worry too much. Everything will work out fine.'
"Tom" had become Ginny's best friend. The more she wrote to him, the more she wanted to tell him. It was as if "Tom" was alive. Ginny wrote everything she felt to "Tom". But her favorite topic about, was none other than Harry Potter.
"Oh, by the way. Tom, did I tell you that my brother Ron is best friends with Harry Potter?"
'No, you didn't. Anything special about him?'
With that one question Ginny fell into a fantasy world. She began to tell "Tom" the story about Harry. Why he was famous, and her feelings towards Harry as well. Little did Ginny know, the more she wrote to "Tom" the more she was being held under a spell. The spell of the diary.
Ginny spent almost the entire day in her room. The only time she did come out was when it was meal time. If she would have skipped a meal, her mother would think she was sick. And that was the last thing Ginny needed. By the time night had fallen, Ginny realized she wasn't tired. She was too anxious about starting her first day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mrs. Weasly was the first one to wake up that morning. It was the morning when everyone returns to Hogwarts, and Ginny starts. It was 7 o'clock in the morning and everyone else in the house was still fast asleep. The first person Mrs. Weasly chose to wake up was Ginny.
"Ginny dear, time to get up. We want to get an early start. And besides Hermione will be here in about an hour."
Ginny moaned and rolled over. She then placed her pillow over her head.
"Ginny Weasly, you get up this moment!" Mrs. Weasly commanded.
At the loud tone in her mother's voice, Ginny slowly got out of her bed. As much as she wanted to talk to "Tom" this morning, Ginny was much too tired.
Finding the clothes that Mrs. Weasly just laid out for her, she got dressed as quickly as possible. Once she was ready, Ginny made her way downstairs to the kitchen. That was where she found her mother.
Mrs. Weasly was fussing around trying to prepare a decent breakfast for everyone. She was serving for nine, but she was making enough food for twenty. It was something that Mrs. Weasly just couldn't help. She just wanted to make sure that no one went hungry. Or ever starved to death.
Ginny started gathering plates and silverware to set the table. She figured it would be a nice gesture without her mother having to ask. Loud noises were heard from the kitchen, it was coming from upstairs. It was echoing throughout the house. Ginny knew that it was her brothers and Harry getting dressed and doing last minute packing. It was then that Ginny heard the doorbell ring. It was Hermione.
"Come in dear, the door's open," shouted Mrs. Weasly.
Hermione entered the Burrow dragging her trunk behind her. Hermione walked into the kitchen and found Mrs. Weasly rummaging through cabinets. Hermione placed her trunk with the others by the door and went to offer a hand of help.
"Anything I can help you with, Mrs. Weasly?"
"Yes, that would be wonderful. Why don't you go help Ginny set the table. I'm just about done. Breakfast will be ready shortly."
With that, Hermione walked over to Ginny. Ginny was smiling merrily as if she was in a trance. Hermione was a little suspicious but didn't think much of it. Ginny then heard her mother calling to her.
"Ginny, go tell your brothers to come downstairs. Breakfast is ready."
Ginny obeyed her mother and ran up the stairs. She knocked first on Percy's door, then Fred and George's room. She had to go all the way up to get Ron, but before she could get there, he was already on his way down. Within seconds everyone was seated at the table. Including Mr. Weasly.
At around 10 o'clock, the Weaslys, Harry and Hermione were packing up the car. Mr. Weasly put a spell on the trunk of the car to make it appear larger. It was so that all of the trunks would be able to fit. By the time they were ready to leave it was nearly a quarter after 10.
"Come on. Everyone into the car. We need to be at the train station before 11." shouted Mr. Weasly.
If you didn't know better, you would think the car was made for clowns. So many people crammed into it. When they got to Kings Cross Station they all piled out. One right after the other. Ginny was one of the last, only because she was sitting in the front with her parents.
It was a quarter to 11 and the train leaves at 11 o'clock sharp. They ran to the platform as fast as they could. Percy, Fred and George went first Then Mrs. Weasly followed by Ginny, Hermione and Mr. Weasly. Harry and Ron went last, but they couldn't get through. No one noticed that they weren't behind the family. Everyone was rushing to get a compartment.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasly stood at the platform until the Hogwarts Express train left. Mrs. Weasly started to cry as she watched the train leave. Mr. Weasly comforted his wife. Then they proceeded to go back to the car and head home.
Ginny found a small compartment all to herself. She wanted the privacy so she could write in her diary. The entire ride to Hogwarts was spent with "Tom".
