The Very Secret Diary is a fanfiction set during Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, made up solely of Ginny's written conversations with Tom Riddle's Diary.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ginny Weasley has just received a diary, by pure happenstance. She begins to write in it, just wanting to vent about her crush, Harry Potter, and her irritating big brothers, and the prospect of starting life at Hogwarts in a few days. And then the diary begins to write back. Many years ago, it belonged to a boy named Tom Riddle, a boy who tells Ginny that he is still "trapped" in its pages. And he is happy to be Ginny's friend.What starts out as an uneasy story about Ginny's first year turns into a tale of nightmares: Ginny starts blacking out and waking up to hear about students being petrified. She turns increasingly to Tom for support, but his underestimation of Ginny, along with his frustration at being a child's diary, causes him to gradually reveal his true nature. Ginny catches on to him, and they soon find themselves in a fight as Tom tries to completely control her and Ginny casts about for a way to fight him without going to a teacher and getting expelled.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Despite its Foregone Conclusion, The Very Secret Diary is able to draw out a lot of characterization, Fridge Horror, and suspense out of its subject. The story can be found here and there is also a German translation that can be read here. Arabella also wrote a one-shot called Disenchanted, wherein Dumbledore talks to Ginny after the diary has been destroyed.Not to be confused with The Very Secret Diaries. | |

Canon Foreigner: In canon, we don't know anyone else in Ginny's year besides Colin and Luna. This fic adds some as minor characters, most notably Ginny's friend Emma. Justified, as there obviously were others in her year — Harry just didn't know them. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Had Ginny simply told any adult about Riddle, she (and Hogwarts) would have spared a lot of anguish. There were moments when Ginny would have gone to an adult, but Riddle was able to stop her, first by playing to her sympathy, and then, when he reveals his true colors, terrorizing her by claiming that she and her family would be punished if she told the truth of what happened. | |

Even though Myrtle does not know that Ginny is possessed, and that Tom was behind her death, she is still so affected by the brutal verbal beatdown that she hides for a whole week. | |

Adult Fear: Your eleven year old daughter makes a new friend she doesn't tell you about. They write back and forth for months, not meeting in person. She pours her heart out to this new friend. He is older than her, very possessive and controlling, and makes her feel isolated and alone without him. He presents himself as a benevolent ally, someone who wants to "teach" her things about the world, but slowly reveals himself to be a sadistic monster. When they finally properly meet, he shows his true colors, but by then, it's too late. | |

Smug Snake | |
| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_4f84cdef | comment |
Smug Snake: Riddle is certainly dangerous and manipulative, but he's not as smart as he would like to believe. He utterly underestimates Ginny's intelligence. This partly ends up his undoing, since he constructs a fake backstory that's so weak, Ginny only has to ask a few questions to poke holes in it. And when Ginny does get wise, his plans are set back by her attempts at resistance, leading him to basically throw a tantrum. | |

Do Not Call Me "Paul" | |
| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_50cc01e1 | comment |
Do Not Call Me "Paul": Downplayed at first. Ginny doesn't dislike being called that, per se, but she does consider it to be a childish nickname, and wishes more people would call her "Virginia," which Tom does. When she finally realizes what a lying git Tom is, he attempts to call her "Virginia, sweetheart," to which she firmly responds, "My name is Ginny." As the followup fic shows, she can no longer stand being called by her proper name thanks to him. | |

| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_567e7c4d | comment |
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Tom often plays the victim in his interactions with Ginny, guilt-tripping her for questioning anything he says or going too long without writing. Lacking experience in this sort of thing, Ginny doesn't realize that he's manipulating her, and winds up being the one to apologize. | |

Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Ginny would very much like to be the love interest to Harry's romantic hero, and doesn't hesitate to gush over him, though she doesn't think he'd ever like her. She's also very excited when she thinks Tom was part of some epic, tragic love affair when he was alive. He goes with it, even throwing in extra details that deliberately parallel Ginny with his so-called girlfriend... Reader, you can go throw up now. | |

Spanner in the Works: In the end, Ginny herself. While she couldn't fight him forever, she did manage to hold Tom off long enough to ensure that his full possession of her doesn't happen until the night the Mandrakes will be ready to cure everyone. Ginny's resistance is the only reason Tom wasn't able to carry out his plan in full, much earlier. | |

| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Ginny, from the very start, but especially after the attack on Halloween. By the end, she's barely keeping herself together, and one gets the sense that telling herself she has to stop Tom is the only way she's kept a firm enough grip on her sanity to be functioning. When she realizes he's Voldemort, her sanity nearly shatters entirely. | |

Drama Queen | |
| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_6c3f8ca8 | comment |
Drama Queen: Ginny has a tendency to freak out over minor embarrassments, especially where Harry is concerned, and become absolutely furious with her brothers over their teasing—as kids are wont to do. It doesn't help that she's already got a bit of a temper, which, as we know from canon, doesn't entirely go away as she matures. Tom exploits her tendency to blow things out of proportion by gaslighting her and telling her she's overreacting when things start to happen that she absolutely should be freaking out over, like when she begins to hear voices and black out. | |

Realizing he's freaking Voldemort? Bye-bye, sanity... | |

Consummate Liar: Guess. Tom frequently feeds lies and half-truths to Ginny, both to further his plan and just for kicks. Ironically, he claims Myrtle is one, to explain why Myrtle claims Ginny cursed at her and threatened her, when Ginny has no memory of doing such a thing (and, indeed, never would). Ginny buys it for awhile, but eventually catches on. | |

| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Starting around the October entries, Ginny will be animatedly and happily conversing with Tom in one line, and listlessly and unquestionably doing his bidding in the next as he possesses her. | |

Dark Fic | |
| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_a7559b25 | comment |
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 invokeddebunked later on, this story is entirely canon-compliant — something like this must have happened offscreen. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Early on, Ginny thinks of Tom as a friend, so many of his responses sound interested and earnest to her. To the reader who knows the truth, however, those same responses are sardonic and condescending. Later, Ginny doesn't go to Dumbledore about what's been happening, because she's certain that she'll be imprisoned and her family will suffer if anyone finds out. In the end, Tom gleefully points out what the reader knew all along: Dumbledore would've known that Ginny was not to blame, she wouldn't have been punished at all, and Dumbledore would've been able to deal with Tom himself. Fortunately, the first two happen after the fic ends, and Harry takes care of the third one. Tom also lampshades that Ginny's possible crush on him is quite ironic, given what he's done to Harry. Ginny worries that Harry has feelings for Hermione. Oh, honey... | |

| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_ae3d6438 | comment |
Deadpan Snarker: It's how Tom lets out his aggravation, and Ginny's often too naive to get that she's being laughed at. Tom Riddle especially likes using double meanings: for instance, when he's trying to persuade Ginny to tell him a secret: Sometimes straight-up sarcasm does the trick. After things go south, the tables turn and Ginny starts mouthing off. This gem, after Ginny compares Tom's nature to that of a Dementor, is enough to send Tom into Stunned Silence for a moment: | |

You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: He doesn't say it word-for-word, but it's clear Tom's thinking this when Ginny tells him how Voldemort fell. He's also completely baffled when he finds out Professor Binns is still teaching. And again, when his victims keep getting Petrified rather than killed. He even outright wonders how it's statistically possible for them all to have gotten that lucky. | |

Terms of Endangerment | |
| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_ba557643 | comment |
Terms of Endangerment: Tom frequently addresses Ginny as "dear" or "sweet girl" or other pet names. It's enough to make you sick. A nauseating Inversion is that Tom often uses her full name, Virginia, which is a little more grown-up and elegant. In the follow-up Disenchanted, when Dumbledore tries to use her proper name, Ginny stops him. Her own name has been ruined in her ears. Dumbledore retains a quiet hope that she will heal in that aspect, too. | |

Accidental Hero: Emma is simply being a good friend and helping Ginny when she begins to "sleepwalk," guiding her back into bed and keeping an eye on her so she won't fall asleep and wander off during the day. She has no idea she's playing a vital role in Ginny's efforts to stop a massacre from occurring — or that, on more than one occasion, her interference is the sole reason it didn't happen. Same goes for Percy, when he realizes Ginny is acting very erratically and briefly confiscates her wand. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: This fic gives Ginny one for the original book. Ginny spent almost a full two months fighting Tom off before she was finally fully possessed. Talking back to him and snarking at him along the way. Downer Ending or not, that's impressive. Also, the diary turning up in the toilet? Tom had gained possession of Ginny and was walking her to Myrtle's bathroom, about to commit a mass murder with the basilisk. He was crowing about it to a hysterical Ginny as the chapter ended. It turns his canonical conversation with Harry ("Someone tried to flush you down a toilet") into a Wham Line. | |

Precocious Crush | |
| The Very Secret Diary / Fan Fic / int_d3beb0de | comment |
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. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl: 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. Tom acts like a male version towards Ginny, accusing her of abandoning him every time she goes for too long without writing. | |
