@allison_weasley So, on your story, what you might want to do, I see you are already planning on giving either a best friend or a love interest, you might want to put Izzy in her own mystery, like make her figure out that Gilderoy is a fake early on and write to Riddle about it if you want her to be in the Chamber as well, if not, maybe she just gets more and more paranoid and begins to ignore Ginny, so it feels like it's her fualt later on. It gives their relationship some drama. I don't know, it's just some ideas!
