Had a bit of a nap this afternoon out on the grounds by the lake, seeing as there was nothing else to do and it's beautiful outside. I fell asleep, and some twenty minutes later, I woke up again.
Only, it mustn't have been twenty minutes later, because it was cold out and dark when I opened my eyes. Took me a moment to get my bearings, especially when I noticed that I wasn't alone. Just out by the shore of the lake sat a boy, and I thought for a minute that it was Harry, so I got up and went toward him. But when the boy turned round, it was Tom. He stared at me for so long; I couldn't move. I wanted to scream or run, but I couldn't open my mouth. He looked at me with that sideways, false smile and said, "Ginevra, you've gotten so tall, and so lovely." I could feel tears welling up in my eyes, but I couldn't cry. I thought I'd been Petrified. He just kept getting closer and closer, until his face was flush right up next to mine. He pulled his wand out, and in one swift motion it was against my throat. Everything around me went darker, and I could here his voice saying something in the background. Then everything went black.
Then I woke up, for real this time. It was hot out and sunny, and my skin was tender from laying in the sun too long.
Now I'm a mass of pink with loads of red spots. Otherwise, there isn't much else to report.
