Author's Notes: Ginny's feelings around the time she started writing in that diary...
__________
Ginny left the Gryffindor table quietly. Nobody noticed. She grasped an unremarkable notebook as she ran sobbing through deserted corridors.
“Oh, Tom,” she wrote, “no-one even cares!”
She poured her comfort-starved heart out once again and he soothed her.
But the calm was so achingly fleeting. The false-comfort he gave her felt wrong. She knew it wasn’t right, guilt swallowed her up.
All she had to do was reach out to one of her ‘friends’ and they would be there for her. But for once she wanted them to come to her, to realize she wasn’t alright. She was starving.
