Title: Tatty Old Books, II
Challenge: Tom Riddle's Diary
Word Count: 100
It was just a blank book, the sort of unlined notebook that students and artists had carried for generations. All it needed was a knotted cord and it could have hung from Severus' own girdle. He had seen ones just like ever since his own student days.
It was just a tool. Something useful. Something more important for what it contained than what it was.
So why did Ginny Weasley treat it as if were the most precious treasure in the world? And why did Severus' spine prickle every time the girl came near him, notebook clutched in her hand?
