Fandom: Harry Potter -------------------------------------------------- Ginny's resentment at her family's poverty explodes while shopping for school supplies. Under the cover of her mother's embarrassment, Lucius Malfoy slips a diary into her cauldron and suggests she'd be welcome in his home. Throw in a sorting into Slytherin and let the dark games begin. Slytherin!Ginny, Dark!Ginny, AU.
A Slytherin Ginny keeps the diary and continues to live with Tom vicariously living through her. While there was some nifty plot twists, I feel like there was a lot of OOC with her family, Harry and Hermoine not being supportive and there needed to be a lot more behind the scenes discussions between the adult characters and V's defeat.
