Since lists of Head Boys are kept in the trophy room (and, presumably, lists of Head Girls), Harry's parents should both be mentioned somewhere in there.

a tall wizard with long, sweeping auburn hair and beard called to Riddle from the marble staircase. When he later explained about the diary's true nature to Dumbledore, the latter was privately concerned, as no mere memory could just possess a girl and eventually take physical form, [2] and he suspected the diary was a Horcrux. Because of how careless this Horcrux was treated (after all, its purpose was to keep its owner immortal), Dumbledore theorised that Riddle had created more Horcruxes, something that had never been done before. [3]

Oh, Tom, I'm sorry, Mum's yelling "Ginevra Molly Weasley" at the top of her lungs which means I'm in TROUBLE and I have to go NOW. I knew I shouldn't have tried to set the dishes to clean themselves but I was just trying to practice for school -- Bye. Precocious Crush: Ginny's crush on Harry doesn't count, since he's only a year older, but her heavily implied crush on Tom does, since he's sixteen. On the surface, an eleven year old having an unrequited crush on an older boy seems harmless, even normal, but the full truth of the matter is way creepier than that. It doesn't help that Tom appears to be encouraging it.

Fifty years! How awful! I - I don’t want to shut you – or be cruel. But...I just can’t keep you. I can’t. My dad says that objects like you... well. I don’t want to be rude. Here's a little food for thought. Think how dangerous Hermione might have become if she'd never made friends with Ron and Harry, but instead had spent her first five years at school the same way she spent the first eight weeks: burying herself in the study of magic, but without any emotional ties to anyone around her.Yes! Oh, yes. I believe that there are things you can’t stop, things that have to happen – like when I first saw... No, I can’t tell you that sort of thing. Because - it’s just - it’s GEORGE. I practically ran to bed after my bath because I was so scared to run into Harry in my nightdress again after that horrible dinner. I was so stupid to tell George anything, so STUPID. He was acting all nice at first but I should have known. He always acts nice and then BANG. Like last summer when he said he wanted to “pet” the Puffskein and he ended up throwing it to Fred for Bludger practice - oh, the poor little thing. Ron was so upset. Biscuits. And I sneaked into the attic once last year, when Mum was gone shopping and I had a cold so I had to stay home and the neighbours were too busy to watch me. I went through boxes. I found loads of books I wasn't supposed to read, so I flipped right to the parts I shouldn't have read, and I read them. Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Tom pretends to be a nice and friendly presence in Ginny's life, and it's as awful as you'd expect it to be.

Muggles. His aunt and uncle Dursley - his mum was Muggle-born and I suppose his dad didn't have any other family left to take care of Harry. I don't know the Dursleys but Ron says they're awful and Harry hates being at their house, he just wants to live at Hogwarts forever. He doesn't leave school for holidays or anything. I heard him say this morning that he wished he could either live here or stay there during the summer. Doomed by Canon: Ginny gets possessed. That much is inevitable. Also inverted — knowing how the actual book ends takes the edge off the fic's rather bleak ending. Hmm. The twins aren't mentioned as witnesses to the original incident, but they know all the words to the song by heart? Interesting... (Note: we're still trying to figure out who sent the Valentine at this point in fandom history! --SVA) Dark Fic: In a sense. While the Harry Potter books are famous for being pretty damn dark, especially for children's literature, it wasn't at this level in the second book. (Fifth book, maybe. Certainly the sixth.) However, aside from a few details that got invoked debunked later on, this story is entirely canon-compliant — something like this must have happened offscreen.

Games

Mythology Gag: The story's title is one to Chapter 13 of Chamber of Secrets, also titled "The Very Secret Diary", where Harry first found Tom Riddle's diary. Fred swears he didn’t mean to hit it so hard. He said he was just trying to have one over on us and he didn’t know his swing was that strong and he was honestly sorry. And I think he really was sorry, actually, and so was George. But it doesn’t matter how sorry they were afterwards, does it? Ron was just absolutely crushed and I was too! It was so cute, that poor, sweet little thing. Ron and I buried it out in the yard a few weeks before Ron went off to Hogwarts, and I put up a little sign that says “Fennelwings ~ 1989-1991”. Of course, that got stolen by the gnomes. Now I have no idea where Fennelwings is buried. Hufflepuff House: Although she doesn't know why, Ginny doesn't want to be sorted here. Tom tells her that there's no need to explain. I don’t know. Most of the fears in Panic are pretty silly, so they wouldn't be things that stay on your mind. I don't know what my greatest fears are. No one ever asks me things like that.

Downplayed with Ginny, towards Harry— she's a little jealous, but at a distance. She feels the perfectly ordinary frustration any eleven year old would feel if her crush seemed way more interested in his female friend than her. This Horcrux revealed to Harry Potter that Lord Voldemort is only an alias; his true name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. Voldemort himself decided that he did not want this name, however. Madam Pomfrey was pleased to report that the mandrakes were becoming moody and secretive, meaning that they were fast leaving childhood. I am. Honestly Tom, I don't know if they trust me because I'm trustworthy or if it's because I'm a little girl and they think I don't have any reason to do anything wrong. No one would ever think of me doing something illegal, and I'm sure that when I leave for Hogwarts Mum won't say to me, "Now Ginny, I'd better not get any owls about you!" like she always says to the twins. She'll just assume I'll be good. If I kept you, would that be very wrong? Tell me the truth. Because... I’ve never been able to say any of these things to anybody - not about my brothers or Harry or any of it. And you’re so nice to me. But if you belonged to someone else, and they were missing you, I’d feel just terrible. I really would.Adorably Precocious Child: Ginny is a cute, smart, curious and cheerful young girl. Then the plot happens. All Take and No Give: Tom and Ginny's relationship, with Tom as the Taker. Tom needs her to pour her heart out to him and she just gives and gives and gives. However, he makes her feel like the Taker, painting himself as the generous Giver who listens to her problems, manipulating her further. The author also interjects a little humor by again focusing attention on the rather human-like Mandrake plants. Their life-cycle nearly parallels the Hogwarts students, starting from infancy and childhood, through a moody, secretive early adolescence, on into a rebellious and rather wild teenaged period (with some even suffering from acne), and finally, adulthood. In this case, however, the poor plants are to be chopped up for a potion after reaching maturity. Hot all over at the thought of being given a Valentine in front of a queue of first-years, which happened to include Ginny Weasley, Harry tried to escape. I don’t think your... mum and dad... would understand... There are things deep inside you that they… refuse to see... You have feelings you can’t share... and you need a place to go.... someone to tell who won’t laugh at you...
