Chapter Three: Planchette Writing

"Potter!" someone snapped, and she looked up, knocking her tea over with her elbow by accident and staining the open book. Ruby scowled as she picked up the soggy book, but strangely, as she picked it up, she realised that the pages had not been harmed. She gave it a shake, and tea ran off the ancient paper as if it were laminated, splattering onto the floor.

Furthermore, it rattled.

That's weird.

Pansy lunged for the book, snatching it out of her hands while she was distracted.

"Hey, give it back!"

"No," said Pansy, flipping through the pages with a greedy smile. "It's mine now. Let's find out what Potter writes in her diary, shall we?"

"Give it back, Parkinson!" shouted Ruby, leaping to her feet. "Stand up, Greengrass, I want my book back—"

"You're both acting like kids," scoffed Daphne, who was sitting between them and primly cutting her toast into triangles. "Pansy, stop being a brat and give Potter her book back. Potter, kindly stop shoving and sit down; I'm not a sliding door."

The diary from Borgin and Burkes... speaks? It can't be kept a secret for long. Meanwhile, Harry has some misgivings about the fate of the school year.
