It's Halloween today! I think as I wake up to the usual sight of rooster feathers covering my bed, I have become used to the sight and have stopped worrying about it. That evening when I entered the Great Hall, the first thing I noticed were Hagrid's gigantic pumpkins that I had seen outside his cabin. I'm going to assume that Hagrid did the carving because of the different creatures carved into the pumpkins orange flesh. As I headed to the Gryffindor table I glanced up at the enchanted ceiling, the weather was outside was cloudy and looked like it was about to storm. There were candles floating around the Great Hall, it looked mysterious and I love it.

I sit by Fred, George and Lee because I'm still mad at Percy about the Pepper-up potion incident.

"Hi, you guys," I say as I sit down.

"Hey Gin," All three of them greeted me before going back to cheering on the dancing skeletons.

The table was loaded with food and the feast was as grand as the one at the beginning of the year. I dished up a bit of shepherds pie unto my plate because I know that it is Harry's favorite meal. When he was at The Burrow this summer he told mum it was his favorite dish and that her's is better than the pie at Hogwarts. I can see what he means, my mum's shepherds pie is better. In fact her whole cooking is better.

I look up and down the table to see if Harry and I are eating the same thing but I don't see him anywhere. I also don't see Ron or Hermione, where are those three?

"Hey, where is Ron?" I ask Fred and George.

"Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday party," Fred replied.

"I can't believe they agreed to go to that, sounds awful to me," George said.

"Hey Gin, why do you want to know, you don't like Ron," Fred said.

"She does like Harry though," George said. Based on the look the twins are giving each other, I'm in trouble.

"Do you want to sit by Harry Gin?" George asked.

"Do you want to hold hands with him and kiss under the light of the pumpkin?" Fred mocked.

"Shut up," I say while getting up. I hurry out of the hall and run up to my dorm room, slamming the door in my wake.

I hate Fred and George! Why do they constantly have to tease me?

I take out my little black diary and write to the only person who truly cares about me at Hogwarts.

Dear Tom

What is it Ginny

I hate my brothers, all they ever do is tease me. I just wish they would quit.

By brothers, do you mean Fred and George?

Yes, I was just eating Halloween dinner with them and asked them a simple question and they started to make fun of me?

What was the question?

Where is Ron?

Why would they make fun of you for wanting to know where your brother is?

They guessed that I really wanted to know where Harry was.

Oh, they were making fun of your crush on Harry. I'm sorry Ginny.

It's alright Tom. I will get over it but for now I just want to stay up here in my four poster and sleep.

Sleep tight Ginny and forget about your brothers.

"If you want to save your true love you silly little girl, you must do as I say," a dark hooded figure tells me. His voice is high and cold and makes me shiver. I don't want to obey him but I have to if I want to save Harry. I head down to the chicken coop as usual knowing that Harry is just beyond. I open the gate and instead of the usual hundreds of chicken's that swarm me there is only one. I reach out and grab the chicken by the neck and crush it in my small hand. A knife appears by me, I grab it, slice the chicken open and dip my fingers into it's warm blood.

I leave the coop and walk until I hear the splash of water, I look down and I'm standing in a puddle, I look up and I'm facing a wall. I know what I must do, I don't want to do it but Harry's life depends on it. I reach my bloodied fingers up to the wall and write, 'The Chamber of Secrets...' I look down at my fingers and they are freed of blood. I glance down at my hand and I'm suprized to see that I'm holding the dead chicken. I dip my fingers into the chicken and continue writing, '... has been opened again...' I dip my fingers back into the chicken as if my fingers are the quill and the chicken blood is my ink, '... enemies of the heir...' I dip my fingers into the chicken for the last time, '... Beware!'

"Come, It's time to kill. The Chamber is open and I, the heir of Slytherin, have opened it for you," I say in a high piercing cold voice.

I quickly run away from the scene, not wanting to be spotted at the scene of the crime. I open the front door and throw the dead chicken as far away from me as possible. I continue running and don't stop until I reach my bed, it seems that all I do these days is run to my bed. This time I have a extremely good reason to be running to my bed, I opened the Chamber of Secrets and unleashed the monster within.

"Rip... Tear... Kill..." I sit up bolt right in my bed, feeling cold as ice. The voice I just heard it's icy cold and it makes me feel icy cold, despite the fact that I'm huddled underneath my blankets. The noise is reverberating around my head and causing me to have the worst headache I have ever had.

"So... Hungry... For... So... Long..." Each word is a knife to my head, plunging into different spots each time. The chill envelopes me, making me feel like I will never feel warm again.

"Kill... Time... To... Kill..." I think my head is going to split open.

"I... Smell... Blood... I... Smell... Blood..." I wish this torture would end and it did.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," I woke up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding, my plams pounding, I felt terrified but I didn't know why. I know I had a bad dream but I don't know what it was about. I get out of bed and start to pace the room, what did I dream and why did it scare me? It must have been bad if I woke up screaming. Wait, this isn't the first time I woke up screaming, didn't I wake up screaming in my first week? That's right, that's why Katie and them won't hang out with me. I'm glad they weren't here for this episode, they might never speak to me and I may never have friends.

I look at myself in the full length mirror; my face is pale, my hair is sticking to my sweaty face and... and... I have paint all down my front. It looks like someone had paint on their hand and wiped it on my front. Wait I don't think it's paint, it's red and shining... It might be blood.

I hear footsteps on the stairs, I jump into bed, not wanting to be caught with paint or... blood on my front. My roomates enter the room, whispering together.

"Ginny, why are you up here?" Chelsea asked me.

"I was tired and went to bed early," I quickly say. It's a good thing I'm a good liar.

"You missed it then," Katie said, sitting on the end of my bed.

"What did I miss?"

"Miss. Norris was found dead," Katie continued.

"What?" I ask horrified, who would kill Miss. Norris? I know everyone would love to give her a good kick but kill her? I don't believe it.

"She was found hanging to a torch by her tail," Jordyn said.

"She was stiff though," Delaney said. "What could have caused that?"

"I don't know but the message is what wireds me out," Katie said.

"What message?" I ask.

"On the wall, outside of Moaning Mrytles bathroom, 'The Chamber of Secrets has been opened again, enemies of the heir beware."

I felt a chill in my bones as Katie told me the message that was written on the wall, it sounds familiar.

I pick up my diary, Tom will make me feel better.

Dear Tom, Something awful happened.

What happened Ginny

A cat was attacked tonight and I have no idea where I was.

The light went out and I couldn't see Tom's response, so I went down to the Common room.

Tonight is Halloween, you were at the feast but Fred and George were being mean so you went up to the dorm room to write to me. I helped you cheer up and you went to sleep.

That doesn't explain why I have paint covering my robe

Somebody must have been playing a trick on you

I don't think so, I have paint on my robe and at the scene of where the cat was attacked there is a message scwalred in paint. I think I wrote the message, I think I attacked Miss. Norris.

For the first time this school year, nothing Tom wrote could cheer me up or persuade me otherwise. I just know I attacked that poor cat.

"Ginny."

"Ginny."

"Ginny."

I open my eyes and there Ron is, he is leaning over me, a worried expression in his eyes.

"Why are you sleeping on the couch?" Ron asked.

"I... I..." Should I tell Ron about what I suspect? "I heard about the attack on Miss. Norris and I couldn't sleep so I came down here to write in my diary." I said, gesturing to the little black book that had fallen on the floor.

"Don't worry about Miss. Norris, she was just petrified and she will be cured and returned to normal, unfortunatly."

I feel better now that I know that I didn't kill her but still I petrified her. "Still..."

"No, Don't worry about it. You haven't got to know her yet so trust me when I say were better off without her." My bottom lip trembled, I can understand why Ron would say that but if he knew what I think I know he probally would be singing a different tune. I looked up at saw Harry and Hermione hovering over me. Great now Harry is here and I won't be able to say what I'm thinking.

"Stuff like this, doesn't happen often at Hogwarts. They will catch the manic who did it and have him out of here in no time." What if I'm the manic? "I just hope they have time to petrify Filch before he is expelled." I could be expelled? Ron must have saw my horrified expression for he quickly said, "Im only joking." Yeah, too bad it isn't funny.
