"Tom, are you there?"

"I'm always here for you, my dear Virginia"

"Good, I don't know what I would do if you weren't here."

"What [i]would[/i] you do, Virginia?"

"I…I really don't know."

She was sitting at the Gryffindor table, in the great hall, pretending to read a potions book, but actually thinking, yet again. Always about the same subject, Tom.

No one ever dared to say that The Dark Lord had a soul, some said he had sold it for a little more power.

Be he couldn't have. Not his entire soul anyway.

It belonged to her. Hers only. Tom had given her the half of his soul, when she wrote in the diary. Tiny bits at a time, she could still feel him.

Maybe it was like in that story Hermione had told about, she couldn't remember the title, something about a dragon, giving the half of his heart to a human. When the human would die, the dragon would die, and vice versa. But the human became a terrible king, lusting after power.

Maybe she was like that, Tom had given her the half of his soul, so maybe when he would die, she would die. When he felt something she would feel it. It sounded a bit corny in her head, like some cheesy ass novel.

She hated that kind of books, books with a happy ending. Because in real life, it didn't work that way. Love did not conquer all, it never had. The light side did not always win. But than again, what was the light side, the good guys?

Dumbledore was of the opinion that his side, was the good one, and Tom was very determined that his way was the right one.

Some people make the world black and white, while actually it exists out of all shades of grey. Without the evil there can be no good, and without the good there can be no evil.

Because if nobody would know the difference, what would stop us from killing someone you don't even know, and not knowing it was a bad thing. What would stop us from killing each other, without thinking it was wrong.

Would we know guilt? Did Tom know guilt?

Probably not, otherwise it would have consumed him by now, unless he thought he was doing the right thing? You don't have to feel guilt when you're doing something right.

So that was how he did it, it was not because he did not care about other lives, that he didn't feel any guilt. It was that he was doing the right thing!

"Ginny, you're not eating."

She had left the name `Ginny' behind her, but her brother insisted to keep on calling her that way. Horrible git.

"I'm not hungry."

She wasn't, she hadn't been for days. She just ate out of habit, sometimes.

"Are you sick? I could go and look something up in the library about eating disorders."

Hermione Granger. Topstudent of her year ( and many others), and an annoying little know-it-all.

"No, thank you, I feel fine."

Better stay polite, she didn't want her brother fussing over her again, how she should not be rude, etc. etc.

"You sure you're okay?"

Harry. The boy-who-lived, the golden boy of the wizarding community. Stuck up git.

"Yes. I'm perfectly okay."

Why couldn't they leave her alone? Did she look like she wanted to be bothered? I think not, thank you very much.

Sometimes he wished she was in Slytherin. Nobody took notice of one another. They ignored each other, unless there was some gryffindor bothering them, than there was a bottomless pit of Slytherin Team-spirit.

But come to think of it, you did not want to be stuck with that pretty-boy Malfoy. As handsome as he may be, he was a cold bastard. Death eater, probably, not that she cared, everyone makes their own decisions, Malfoy made his.

Maybe it was time for her to make her own decision.

End second chapter.

Question1:Could somebody please tell me how to do Italics? Because I, obliviously, can not do it.

Question2:My grammar and spelling, is it bad? Is it good? Is it normal? Please let me know, so that I can go on a search for a beta-reader, if necessary.

Question3: Did you like the second chapter? Should I continue?

My thanks to everyone who has reviewed my story. I' m very sorry for the mistakes that I (probably) have written in this and the other chapter.
