Chapter 31: Confrontation (2/2)
Ginny almost choked.
”I know You had the diary, Ginny. Now give it to me. I've to give it to Professor Dumbledore.” Chris said in one breath.
”I don't know what are... you... talking about. ” Ginny said with a unsteady voice.
Chris pulled out a picture from her desk, then, grabbed a notebook from Ginny's desk, and hold it in front of Ginny.
”Now, do you know?”
It was the picture Colin took of that wall where Mrs. Norris was attacked. The handwriting in Ginny's notebook was same with the writing on the wall.
”Nooo.... Please... the Diary and me has nothing to with the attacks.” Ginny said getting pale.
”You know, Ginny, that's not true. Same handwriting. Roosters' feathers. Paint on your robes. Not to mention, no one saw you during all the attacks.” Chris said calming her voice a little.
Ginny was about to cry, ”Please.. Please Chris... They will expel me... I don't.. I didn't...”

”Ginny, calm down and think. The dairy is making you do horrible things. Don't you understand?” Chris's voice was perfectly calm, now.
”But no one knows it's me. Please don't tell them. If you don't then they'll never know. Ginny said stubbornly.
”Do you think Ginny, that the teachers can't put two and two together?” Chris said. ”If yes, then tell me, where were you this morning before the Quidditch match when Hermione was attacked?”
Ginny looked down.
”I.. Don't.. know.. I can't remember...” she mumbled.
Chris sighed.
”Now, will you give me the diary?” Chris said patiently.
”I will. But...” Ginny hesitated. ”Have you wrote in this diary?”
”Yes.”
”You did?” Ginny looked too much shocked.
”Yes Ginny. Now just give me the diary. I'll give it Dumbledore. Hogwarts won't be closed.”
Ginny looked at Chris for few moments then said, ”Ok... Tomorrow..... tomorrow morning. I'll go with you.... and tell Professor Dumbledore everything..... But you'll not tell anyone else.”
”Why tomorrow?”
”Please.. Hermione... was just attacked.... Please...” Ginny was crying.
”Alright then just give me the diary, we'll go tomorrow.”
”I'll do it... I promise...”
”But you'll not write in it, will you?”
Ginny shook her head, still crying.
”We'll do this first thing in the morning.” Chris said, a little reluctantly. ”Got it?”
Ginny nodded, while sobbing.
That night was sleepless. Chris didn't sleep and decided to talk to Harry and Ron. She couldn't hide everything from them anymore.
It was almost past midnight, Ginny was sleeping on her bed.
Chris sneaked into Ron and Harry's room. Harry wasn't in very deep sleep so it was easy to wake him up.
”Harry! It's me. Chris. Wake Ron up and come to the common room. I need to tell you both something. Please. Fast. It's important.” She whispered.
”Ok” Harry replied and Chris left their room.
