Dedicated to Ginny's biggest fan, Lilac

THE SCENE: McGonagall's office. HARRY explains to the WEASLEYS, 
DUMBLEDORE, McGONAGALL (and the amnesiac Lockhart) how he rescued 
Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets. NOTE: For dramatic purposes, I 
bring DOBBY in a little earlier

MOLLY (spoken): You-Know-Who? En-enchant Ginny? But Ginny's not ... 
Ginny hasn't been ... has she?

HARRY (spoken):  It was this diary - Riddle wrote it when he was 
sixteen . . . .

MOLLY (spoken):  But, Ginny, what's our Ginny got to do with - with --
him?"

GINNY (spoken, sobbing):  His d-diary
..I've b-been writing in it, 
and he's been w-writing back all year --"

ARTHUR (spoken): Ginny! Haven't I taught you anything? What have I 
always told you? A suspicious object like that, it was clearly full 
of Dark Magic.."
