Harry's 2nd year/ Rose's 3rd year, a.k.a 2016 (February)

12 am, February 15th

I sat in front of the desk inside my dorm room, staring at the diary with dread.

I found out a few minutes ago that the diary was, in fact, a Horcrux, meaning a piece of Tom's soul is attached to the diary. Considering that I know for a fact Tom made only one Horcrux before 1964...it must mean this is his first Horcrux, so at least 1/2 of his soul should be in the cursed diary. Hmm, I wonder if the diary can communicate with someone, one they start writing in it? Only one way to find out.

'Right, let's get this over with.' I thought, picking up my quill and dipping it in ink.

-Hello Tom, long time no 'see'-

I immediately regretted writing those punny words, dam me and my sarcastic puns.

As soon as I stopped writing, the ink disappeared, leaving once more a blank page. Minutes went by before I received a reply.

- I don't think I recognize your writing, yet you seem to know me. Also 'long time no see'? What that supposed to be a pun, considering you can't actually 'see' me? If so, pathetic. -

I grinned, at least he's still the same smartass that I knew.

- Yeah sorry I make stupid puns when I'm nervous. As for who I am...I give you a clue: I'm the snarky bitch who was also betrayed by Dumbledore. -

I started getting nervous when he didn't reply after 10 minutes and was about to write again when ink finally started to appear.

- It can't be... Mystique?! How the hell did you get your hands on my Hor- I mean diary?! -

- Bravo, give the guy a medal. Yes, it's me, why Harry Potter gave me your 'diary'. I saw the slip-up and I am VERY disappointed in you Tommy. A Horcrux?! Siriusly?! (Yes I'm back with the puns) Bad Tom-tom. -

- Of course, only you would make puns that bad. Yes your basically speaking to a Horcrux of me. Stop with the name-calling, it's annoying and utterly childish. What do you mean Harry Potter gave me to you? Is he really that careless? Wait, stupid question, if he associates with you then it can't be all bad. -

- I'm wounded Tom-tom, truly. Me?! Make bad puns?! Never! Also, suck it up Smartass, I will never stop with the name-calling. Yeah, I'm friends with Harry, also with the Weasley Twins. Chew on that Riddle. Insert smirk. -

- Yes, you make bad puns. Friends with Harry Potter?! And WEASLEYS?! Has Dumbledore finally gotten to you?! If so how about we make our 'chat' a bit more physical? -

What does he mean by physi-

Next thing I know I'm face to face with a 16-year-old Riddle.
