Chapter 4-Diary

     I'm defiantly not ready to put my real name in this book. I put it in there for a second, and it felt like I was going to have a panic attract. I just wanted to try it, but I didn't like it. But I know I'll eventually have to put my name in it. Just, not yet.

     Quickly packing up, I had to get back to the common room before I had to do my rounds with Tom Riddle. I was chosen to be perfect in my fifth year and got chosen again in my sixth. I was definitely going to keep this diary close to me. I don't want anyone reading it. I don't know what I'll do if someone does read it.

     Getting to the common room, I had three minutes to get ready for my rounds. Many people are scared of Riddle, but I had rounds with him last year, and the people in charge of the rounds this year thought I should be his partner again.

     Once I was ready, I went to the common room. I saw Tom start to walk out, so I quickened my steps to walk with him. Once I was beside him, he only turned slightly to see who was with him before continue walking where we're suppose to do our rounds.

     I like being Tom's partner because he doesn't see the need to fill the silence. So people, like Diggory, have to have some sort of noise, and I like to be able to think while paying attention. Plus, silence doesn't need a response. I've been taught to respond to someone if they're talking to you. So that's why I like Tom as my rounds partner.

     I wonder if he'll treat me the same if he knew I was a Potter? I know my life would be completely different if people knew I was a Potter. And when I get over well, I tend to have magical bursts. My magic is stronger than average, and the ministry can't detect it if I don't use a wand. I can also do elemental magic easily.

     I stopped thinking about that because even if my mind can't be read, I still don't want to test it. I knew a lot of people's secrets because I blended into the background. They tend to talk about stuff without realizing I'm right there. That's how I knew that Tom could do legitimacy. He didn't say it, but his brother did.

     As we did our rounds, no one said anything. One of the knights thought to try and scare me, but I registered the slight movement, so I didn't get scared when it moved. It sighed and stood back up to become a statue again.

     Farther down the corridor, we heard something fall. I slowed slightly before walking again. When we made it down the corridor, I saw the kitchen panting being closed. I walked over to the panting and ticked the pear. It chuckled before opening. Tom into the passaged way, and I followed after him.

     I saw Mattheo, Draco, and Blaise when we entered the kitchen. They were sitting at the island, waiting for the house elves to get them whatever they wanted.

     Tom cleared his throat, which startled the boys sitting at the table. Turning, they saw us standing at the door and were probably deciding what to do. I decided to let Tom handle this, and drifted my attention over to a corner where I saw some suspicious brown hair.

     Walking over there, I went around the corner and cleared my throat. Harry, Herminie, and Ron all turned to look at me. I motioned for them to stand up and made them walk over to Blaise, Draco, and Mattheo.

     Once they were there, Tom said, "15 points from Slytherin. Five for each person out. I can't take points from Gryffindor, so I'll give the head of your house your names. Get back to your common room. Gillespie, you take the Slytherins back. I got the Gryffindor."

     I just nodded and looked toward them. There was a small protest from the Slytherins, but they stood up and walked out of the kitchen with me following closely behind.
