Aaric had noticed that Ginny was growing paler with time and had also started skipping meals. This worried him, as it indicated she might have the diary.
Ron once came up to Aaric while he and Harry were discussing something."I need you guys' help... Ginny has been very distant with me, and it seems like she hasn't eaten properly in days."Harry grew worried at that."Did you try talking to her in your way, or did you ask her gently what happened?" he asked.
Ron frowned at Harry's question but then answered,"I'm not an idiot. I was very patient with her and even asked if she was sick. I told her I wanted to take her to Madam Pomfrey, but she refused."Harry patted Ron's shoulder, thinking of a way to help.
As Harry was thinking, Hermione also joined the group and was brought up to speed on the situation.Ron, ever tactful, said, "You're apparently a girl, so you should know how to help Ginny."Hermione smacked him on the head for that."Can we make a rejuvenating potion for her?" Ron asked, rubbing his head.
Hermione thought about it and said,"We can't get the materials. And even if we could, where would we make the potion?"
Aaric grinned from the side."Don't worry about the ingredients. Just find a place to make the potion."
Harry asked from the side, "How will you be getting the ingredients?"
Aaric shrugged."By owl. You can do it too. Send the owl to the handler of your Gringotts account with the list of ingredients you want. They'll arrange them for you and send them back via owl... they deduct the money as well."
Harry was surprised at how simple it was.
"Is that allowed?" Hermione asked.
"Obviously. That's how students get potion ingredients to practice for exams," Aaric replied.
The ingredients arrived in 3 days as Hermione found a place to brew the potion, it was of course Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.
The previous day was the day that Justin was found in the same state as the others, this attack was the third and created an aura of fear in Hogwarts, parents were sending letters to their kids every day. People were also speaking to shut down Hogwarts until the threat is taken care of.
This was the time that the minster in his infinite wisdom was considering that Hagrid must he thrown back in Azkaban to appease people and Lucius pushed for it too, he also wished for Dumbledore's suspension.
The kids met up in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom as they prepared the potion, Hermione was the one preparing the potion, she insisted she would make the potion and Aaric must help her.
So she was make the potion right now as Aaric was helping her make it properly, Aaric had gotten the ingredients by sending a letter to Knuk via Owl and he asked Nibbin to get ingredients form the castle that would be useful against dark magic.
He was making a potion for both physical and mental Rejuvenation and remove any darkness caused by the diary that might hinder her future growth not that the other knew about the last part.
They made the potion at night and were planning to give Ginny the potion in the morning. "You guys leave before me, i will tidy." They offered to help but Aaric shood them away.
Aaric then went to a bathroom stall and took out a diary from there ignoring Moaning Myrtle who was complaining about people throwing things at her.
Aaric took the diary to his room and started writing in it 'Hi, i am Aaric' we wrote as he got a reply form the diary as the ink he wrote in faded and new worlds appeared 'Hello, I am Tom Marvolo Riddle.'
Aaric grinned at that, he felt a probe at his mental shields but it was too weal to breach them.
