That year people got petrified and the chamber of secrets was said to have been opened. I know that I heard whispers, and I was called into the Headmasters office on numerous occasions about is but I thought it was because I was descended from Slytherin or because I knew the undergrounds of Hogwarts better than anyone. Not because they thought I was opening it up and petrifying people. Turned out that was Ginny, Tom Riddle and a Basilisk. But she almost died I was so worried for her. Funnily enough I didn’t go to the Weasley’s that summer. It was a really strange summer because my hearts broke, it is what happens to someone that has lost love. In my case my parents.

When we got back to school, I was told to be careful and I was. I sat by my usual tree in the courtyard and studied. Then I started to panic that this had all happened because I was like my father and couldn’t feel love. Needless to say, I was in a state. But the boys calmed me down. George said “you can’t be anything like him because you are worrying about it, would he worry or care?”. He was right. By this point I was dating Cedric Diggory and I think he was jealous that it was George that was the one to calm me down and not him. I don’t know why. Must be a guy thing. They were always putting me in the middle of big matches and asking me who I would side with: Fred, George or Cedric. It got really annoying.

I went and spent more time with the Weasley family at Christmas and again in the summer I loved it because even the other members of the family would treat me as the “adopted one” I guess Molly had a real capacity to take in strays, like me and Harry, and that is definitely what we were. It was solidified when I got an OWL the next year from Charlie. He said that he would be coming as part of the tri-wizard tournament and wanted to see me. I was so happy. I went with the others to the Forest and saw him with the Dragons. It was great to see him in his element. I couldn’t help giving him a massive hug. He showed us around the dragons which was fantastic, then we went back to the castle.

The Yule Ball was part of the tournament and I wasn’t allowed to go with Cedric because “Permission ungranted” whilst it was my O.W.L.s and the tournament. Which was really annoying. Especially as tons of girls were now falling all over Cedric, which he hated. Nobody had the guts to ask me, or nobody wanted to. So, I went with a boy from Durmstrang that was a friend of Viktor Krum. I still got to dance with my favourite people.

I had started spending tons of time with Cedric but I never forgot my boys I made them a present for Midwinter that year that turned out to change their lives. They had already starting making and selling sweets to people but I made them this box that had all manner of different draws and functions. It was then that we started planning. I was to be the business side as it were and they were to be the creative geniuses, I could never come up with some of the things that they thought of. It proved a brilliant strategy for the final. I sat with Amos Diggory and they went around selling. It was perfect. Almost.
