Hermione remained in the hospital wing for many weeks. There was a flurry of rumor about her disappearance when the rest of the school arrived back from their Christmas holidays, because of course everyone thought she had been attacked.
BUT SHE WILL BE. D':
Harry and Ron looked under the sink where Myrtle was pointing. A small, thin book lay there. It had a shabby black cover and was as wet as everything else in the bathroom. Harry stepped forward to pick it up, but Ron flung out an arm to hold him back.
"What?" said Harry.
"Are you crazy?" said Ron. "It could be dangerous."
"Dangerous?" said Harry laughing. "Come off it, how could it be dangerous?"
IT IS DANGEROUS. BE CAREFUL. :(
"I wouldn't mind knowing how Riddle got an award for special services to Hogwarts either."
"Could've been anything," said Ron. "Maybe he got thirty O.W.L.s or saved a teacher from the giant squid. Maybe he murdered Myrtle; that would've done everyone a favor...."
O-M-G, HE DID KILL MYRTLE.
Valentine's Day is terrible enough I can't imagine living through Lockhart's Valentine's Day at Hogwarts.
Malfoy was looking furious, and as Ginny passed him to enter her classroom, he yelled spitefully after her, "I don't think Potter liked your valentine much!"
Ginny covered her face with her hands and ran into class. Snarling, Ron pulled out his wand, too, but Harry pulled him away. Ron didn't need to spend the whole of Charms belching slugs.
Poor, Ginny. Oh to be eleven and easily embarrassed of your affections for someone.
I think the interaction between Tom and Harry in this chapter is interesting. Tom carefully chooses his words here, using them to his advantage. When in the memory he first shows himself as unprivileged, worthy of pity and concern. He ends up revealing Hagrid who is guilty but not of the concerned crime.
