Professor Scabior seemed to be in a somewhat frightening pleasant mood. Clearly, this was because he was about to take them all down into the Chamber of Secrets for some sort of sinister reason. He had been pleasant when they had gone into the lake too...scary man, this professor was.

Jotting down more notes and filling in the blank spaces on her timeline, Kurumi looked up when the class moved on. That was...a rather BROAD question right there. It became a key part in opening it? It certainly became a key part to understanding what was going on in the Second Wizarding War as well. Thinking for a few moments, Kurumi raised her hand to offer up an answer. "As a horcrux, it was able to use magical influence to possess and force Ginny Potter to try and finish the work that Voldemort had been unable to finish before his first fall. The diary was able to do this because Ginny was able to communicate with the memory of the sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle left in the diary by writing on its pages. The closer the one came to memory the more power he had over them." Kurumi lowered her hand now and braced for impact. It was a much longer answer than she had been giving these days...

*gulp*
