A Riddle or a Rhyme

Mith Weasley

Story Summary:: Ginny Weasley sat alone in the common room, reading in front of the fire. She had been completely unaware of any of her surroundings, until she felt a small breeze sweep past her, and felt a chill creep up her spine. She was startled to see a tall boy with black hair sitting in the chair next to hers, when she turned back around. “Hello, Ginny. I see you’ve grown up since I last saw you,” the boy said calmly.

Dear Journal,

It's just come to my attention...that the next Hogsmeade visit...rather, the FIRST visit...is on October 31^st...

Explain how I'm supposed to wait that long?!

...

Memo to self: Once again, stop asking inanimate objects questions.

Yeah, so after dinner I'm going to find Tom and ask him if he'd rather go for a walk on the grounds again, instead of waiting so long...

Mainly because I can't wait.

Oh, I'm pathetic. This is worse than my crush Harry...

Ok. No, it's not, but it's still bad.

Right, well, I'd better go eat. I have to finish quickly and catch Tom before he leaves the Great Hall.

Bye, then.

Well. Things are running smoothly. No one's suspected anything about me.

Lessons are a breeze, with the exception that my wand-work is a little off. Of course seeing Ginny should help that. I thoroughly enjoy potions, as they're probably the easiest for me. There's no wand-work, and I already know all the potions, as I've taken this class before. It's quite entertaining to see Professor Snape picking on the Gryffindors, while the Slytherins can get away with almost anything. Though, yesterday he did give Ginny zero points on our potion, and for some inexplicable reason, I wanted to shout at him for being unfair...

Maybe it was the fumes from my own potion.

Many of the Slytherins in my year have approached me, taking a stab at conversation. I shake them off as quickly as possible. With the exception of meeting up with Ginny, I like to be left alone.

...

In fact, I think I actually want to be around her...

All the time...

No. No, I don't. That'd be ridiculous.

Ugh.

This is getting annoying.

...

Oh look, there's Ginny, now. I suppose she wants to talk to me.

I'll finish this later.

Yes! Ok. I've worked things out with Tom, and we're going to meet up at the big tree by the lake on the...9^th. Saturday the 9^th. Or, I could just say this weekend...whatever.

Umm...

I'm really looking forward to spending the day with Tom on Saturday.

Uhh...

This has clouded my brain, and I'm unable to think of anything else to write...

So...until I can stop thinking about Tom, I'm going to stop wasting paper.

Bye.

Well, I've just spoken to Ginny.

I didn't realize how far away the first Hogsmeade weekend is. It's at the end of October. But, thanks to Ginny, we've made plans to hang out on Saturday. And the sooner, the better. I'll be able to do better in my classes, now.

All I need to do is spend time with her, listen to her...

I wonder if she'll become a squib...

Hm.

Well, I'm not really worried about that, as I don't care about her. I'm only using her for her powers.

Yes. I am.

I plan to kill her as soon I as I don't need her anymore.

And by need, I mean...

Not like...

Ugh!

I can't take this anymore. I'm going to go...read.

Good night.
