Chapter 13: The Diary and Valentines
It was the first week of February and there hasn't been an attack since Justin and Nearly Headless Nick. Everyone has began to think that it will no longer happened and Haru, Hermione and Ron felt the same way.
"I think the attacks have stopped." Said Haru.
That was when he slipped on a puddle of water.
"I'm okay." Saud Haru.
He got up and saw the puddle was caused by the nearby abandoned girl's bathroom.
"Looks like Myrtle needs some help." Sighed Haru.
Haru went into the bathroom while Ron exchanged looks.
"Have you ever questioned if the Straw Hats were really pirates?" asked Ron.
"They are pirates… just… not like the stereotypical kind." Sighed Hermione.
Haru was in the girl's bathroom.
"Hello Myrtle?" asked Haru.
That was when the toilet ghost popped up.
"Oh, are you Haru?" asked Myrtle.
"Yeah… Perona told me about you." Said Haru, "What wrong?"
Myrtle began to cry.
"Some flushed this down the toilet." Cried Myrtle tossing out an old diary.
Haru picked it up and looked though it, then saw the name on the cover.
"T.M. Riddle." He said, that's when he remembered.
Sometime last month there was an incident… Where Haru was experimenting with fireworks and his portals. It caused explosions though out the school and a few people got injured.
Needless to say Pro. McGonagall gave him a detention with Filch to clean every single trophy (even though Pro. Lockhart requested having detention. She knew it was just going to be coaching on how to be famous in some way). It was then Haru found a trophy given to one T.M. Riddle during the 1940's for a special service. Haru figured out it probably has to with stopping the Heir of Slytherin.
He looked though it once again.
"Nothing." Said Haru.
"What is it?" asked Myrtle.
"It's nothing." Laughed Haru, "I'm taking this all right."
""Fine with me." Said Myrtle.
Haru put in his bag and went outside.
"What happened?" asked Ron.
"I think I found the diary of the guy who stopped the monster." Said Haru.
"Really, that's great!" said Hermione.
However Haru couldn't figure out how to read it as any magic way of detecting did work.
"Don't worry mate, you'll figure it out." Said Ron.
A few days later it was Valentines Day, Gilderoy asked permission to celebrate Valentines Day, the Great Hall was covered in pink was covered in pink and hired Dwarves dressed like cupids to give out Valentines. He made some comments about Entrancing Enchantments and Pro. Flitwick which embarrassed him and even told Students to ask Snape to teach them to make Love Potions… Snape looked like he was going to ask the Straw Hats if any of them were skilled in assassination… after all it was a big school… accidents happen.
Fortunately it was after these comments was the thing that turned things around.
"But if you want to honest with the person, you should tell them." Said Gilderoy.
He got up and approached where Marguerite was sitting.
"Marguerite, it's a nice day and I'm sure it's going to a beautiful night. Would you want to go get drinks at the Three Broomsticks tonight?" asked Gilderoy.
Marguerite stood up… then punched him in the gut.
She turned to the students, "I have an announcement for this Valentines Day too." She stated, "If someone says no to a date more than once, you must remember "No means no!""
A few Ravenclaw girls applauded, followed other girls who didn't fall for his looks and soon a good portion of the students were clapping quickly joined by the teachers.
Needless to say that much of the school that figured that Gilderoy was a fraud gained a new found respect for Marguerite.
Sometime later, Ginny, Maya and Hina walked though the halls.
"Would you guys think of me any less if I sent Haru an anonymous Valentine?" asked Ginny.
"You did that didn't you?" asked Hina.
"I… maybe…" blushed Ginny.
That was when they saw Haru walking down the halls as well. When a Dwarf tackled him, grabbed him and gave him the Valentine… "Pirates here are considered scurvy dogs, but you're not one of those… please, please be mine."
"Never write poetry again." Whispered Hina.
Ginny nodded…
"You should help him up." Said Maya.
Ginny blushed as she walked over to Haru.
"Need help?" asked Ginny.
"Yeah… I do…" said Haru.
"Well, well Potter aren't you popular." Said Draco showing up, "I bet it was Weasley who sent it to you."
Ginny stopped.
"So what if she is, I think she's cute." Said Haru.
"Really Haru? You think that?" asked Ginny blushing.
"Yes I do." said Haru blushing lightly.
"He's such a dense idiot! How can already think girls are cute?" asked Draco.
"Mom made him that way." Said Hina, "She knew that dad's influence on his personality might be extreme and taught him to notice girls as a young age."
Draco looked at Hina, who glared at him which made him run.
"Yeah you better run!" shouted Hina.
Ginny helped Haru pick up his things that when she noticed the diary causing her to go pale.
"Gin, what's wrong?" asked Haru.
Ginny looked up, "It's nothing… really." She said as she watched Haru put the diary in his bag.
"How did he get it?" she thought.
Later, Ginny, Maya and Hina were walking the halls.
"Do you consider me your friend?" asked Ginny.
"Of course." Said Maya.
"We do…" said Hina.
"I need your advice." Said Ginny, "What if you have something bad that made you do bad things that hurt a lot people with out you knowing it. Then you figure it out, and you get rid of it. But someone you really care about gets it. Is okay to take it back if more people have to suffer."
Both Hina and Maya stared at Ginny.
"Um… can you ask us again with out being really vague?" asked Hina.
"It's… just… never mind. It's not that important." Said Ginny.
"Oh come on Ginny you can tell us." Said Maya.
Ginny sighed, "I was wondering. What does Zoro mean to you?" asked Ginny.
"He's like a Grumpy Uncle." Said Hina.
"Yeah the kind that drinks a lot but it doesn't seem to effect him." Laughed Maya.
"I see." Said Ginny who seemed down for some reason.
"Oh… Ginny… what's wrong?" asked Hina.
"It's nothing really…" said Ginny.
"Come on Ginny! It's not nice to keep secrets." Said Hina, "Well from your friends."
"If there's something going you should tell us." Said Maya.
Ginny sighed, "What I would give some kind of distraction right now." She thought.
That's when they walked by an unused classroom, where two students were making out, it wouldn't be so bad… they would have just brushed it off… had it not be stickler for the rules Percy making out with Penelope who also happened to be a Prefect as well.
"Percy!" yelled Ginny in shock.
"Ginny!" yelled Percy in shock.
"Okay... awkward…" said Hina.
Meanwhile, with Haru. He was looking at the diary. When the Dwarf tackled him ink spill though his bag and stuff yet for some reason… the diary was pristine…
And he was about to find out why.
