Emilia's Plan

Tom

Emilia sat down in the library and looked at the diary. "What is this doing here? It shouldn't be at this school." Emilia thought. She opened the book and wasn't shocked to find it blank. "Of course he'd put a charm on it to mess with people." Emilia groaned. Emilia got bored and doodled a picture of Ivory on the first page. The ink disappeared quickly. "Huh.-" Emilia looked at the blank page. Something appeared on the page. 'Nice drawing' it read. "I- that's normal." Emilia said. 'Thanks' she wrote back. 'How did you get this diary?' Appeared on the page. 'I found it in the toilet.' Emilia replied. 'Who are you?' The journal wrote. 'I'm Emilia Riddle' she wrote, not thinking much. Surely it couldn't be a living, breathing person writing the replies. 'Ha ha, very funny.' The journal replied. 'What?' Emilia Oh replied, confused. 'That's my last name too.' The journal wrote. Emilia froze. "Surely.. I couldn't be talking to Tom Riddle." She thought. 'Bye- something came up. It was nice talking to you.' Emilia wrote quickly. 'You too.' The journal wrote. Emilia slammed the book shut and took it with her. "I've gotta get rid of this somehow." Emilia thought.

Emilia attempted many things to destroy the journal. She tried burning it, ripping it up, throwing it in the lake, everything. No matter what, the journal turned back up completely unharmed. She finally gave up. She opened the journal. 'Ok Tom, you win.' Emilia wrote. 'Lovely' he wrote back. 'Maybe I'll give you to someone else to bother.' Emilia wrote. 'I was actually beginning to be quite comfortable here.' He wrote. 'Too bad. You're a sentient book. You don't have a say.' Emilia scribbled angrily. 'You underestimate me.' He wrote. Emilia decided to just leave the stupid journal under the table in the library. Surely people would just overlook it. After all, it does just look like a normal old book.
