The Chamber of Secrets Through Another's Eyes

Chapter 17: A Mystery Diary Appears

Xenia here! I need to tell you about the mysterious diary that nobody knows about! Confused? Somebody found it, Aura found him holding it, and blah blah blah blah blah blah. I can't tell you yet! Not until I'm at that part in the chapter, anyway.

Aura saw him with it. Yes, she did. He came out of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. On that same day Aura told Morana, Tess, and me to meet her in the girls' bathroom. Not Moaning Myrtle's, of course.

"Guess who I saw today," Aura began when all four of us were in the bathroom.

"Draco?" Morana asked.

"Cedric?" Tess asked.

"Ron?" I asked.

"Close," Aura pointed to me. "I did see Ron, but that's not who I'm talking about. I'm talking about the famous Harry Potter!"

"He seems to be all you care about!" Morana said.

"Says the girl that's obsessed with my brother!" Aura told her.

"Hey!" I told them. "Shut up! Either continue speaking or I'm leaving!"

"Oh, right," Aura said. "I saw Harry with a diary! You know who's diary it is?"

"Harry's?" Tess guessed. "Well...whoever's it is it must not be important because I had no visions about a diary."

"It wasn't Harry's," Aura shook her head. "It said 'T.M. Riddle'!"

Morana, Tess, and I gasped.

"But..." I stammered. "He...how did...wha-"

"That's what I was wondering," Aura told us. "But I know that I've seen that diary somewhere."

"Where?" Morana asked.

Aura shrugged. "At my house."

"Ummm," Tess began, "why would your parents have their boss's diary? And how did it get here? At Hogwarts?"

"Well," Aura faced Morana, "you remember that day in Flourish and Blotts where we met?"

"Yes," Morana answered. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"I noticed as we were talking that my dad picked up Ginny Weasley's textbook," Aura began. "When my father put it back he put Tom Riddle's diary in her cauldron. But he put it in her schoolbook."

"So, Ginny accidentally brought an evil diary to Hogwarts?" Tess asked.

"That's wonderful," I said, speaking the language of sarcasm. "So now Harry has the diary?"

"Yep," Aura said, "but I don't know anything about it...except that it isn't that important."

"Are you sure?" Tess asked.

"How important could a diary be?" Aura shrugged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A MYSTERY DIARY APPEARS~~~~~~

Valentine's Day. A wonderful day. My favorite day of the year behind my birthday and Christmas. Which are both in the same month.

I loved the way the Great Hall looked that day. The walls were covered with big pink flowers, and heart-shaped confetti was falling from the ceiling when I finished my breakfast. I looked at Tess behind me, and she pointed to the teachers. When I looked where she was pointing I saw Gilderoy Lockhart. He was wearing an outfit that matched the halls. Ridiculous outfit if you ask me. I don't even think my Muggle best friend (who's a huge girly-girl) would wear it!
