Dear Tom,

Guess what happened last week!

Harry Potter said hello to you?

Well, no. But that's not important right now. Just guess! And be serious this time.

Something unbelievable?

You're so right! The ministry raided Malfoy Manor for dark artifacts! Can you believe it?

I cannot. It is indeed most unbelievable. Did they find anything?

Well, no. But at least they tried. I'm sure the Malfoys were tipped off. Mister Malfoy practically owns the Minister for Magic.

Ah, I see. I'd wondered how the Malfoys had managed to stay out of Azkaban when you told me that they had been followers of Lord Voldemort.

Tom! I can't believe you said that name!

I've told you before, Ginny, that I refuse to follow the weak and witless masses in their insistence of calling Lord Voldemort, You-Know-Who. It's disrespectful and silly. I am a diary, what can a long defeated dark lord do to me?

Nothing, I suppose. I hope you don't mind if I don't say the name. People look at you funny if you do.

I do mind. Call the dark lord by his proper name or correct title or refrain from mentioning him to me. You are doing a disservice to Harry Potter by not calling Lord Voldemort by name. You wouldn't want to do Harry Potter a disservice would you?

No...

Then do as I say, girl.

Okay...

Good. As a reward, why don't I show you a few more charms so you can get even with Meggie McLaggen for destroying your Harry Potter doll.

You're the best, Tom!

I know...

AN:

In a very weird and twisted sense, we view Tom as an abusive boyfriend. He's manipulating Ginny into doing what he wants with no regard for her wants and safety. He rewards her obedience and compliance with superficial favors and favors of his choosing which in turn make Ginny more dependent on him and more removed from her other support systems. He's jealous of her time and does several things to make it difficult for her to spend time with others. He also encourages her to avoid authority figures and even instills distrust in her for people like Dumbledore who could help her. He's also very careful about what he reveals about himself. He uses knowledge as a reward and a carrot for carrying out his desires. He also encourages her to talk to him more and rely on him completely so that he can gain power over her.

We're not sure if Rowling intended for Tom and Ginny's relationship to sound like an abusive situation, but based on what happened in the books that is how we're choosing to interpret it. It's going to get a lot darker as this goes on and as Tom gains more and more control over her. We all know how this ends, this is the story of how it gets there.
