After Lunch they began to view the second set of memories.

"Come to me....let me rip you....let me tear you..." rings out from the cube of light as images begin to swirl.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrive at a deserted corridor were written in blood on the walls where the words "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir, beware!"

You'll be next, Mudbloods!" a voice rang out.

The scene changes into the History of Magic class, with Professor Binns discussing the legend of the Chamber of Secrets.

"Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He disliked taking students of Muggle parentage."

"Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in the castle. The heir alone would be able to unseal the Chamber of Secrets, unleash the horror within, and use it to purge the school of all who were unworthy to study magic."

"That is believed to be some sort of monster."

That night, Harry, Ron, and Hermione speculate on whether Malfoy is the Heir of Slytherin, and Hermione suggests that they could find out by making a Polyjuice potion, thus turning themselves into Slytherins and eavesdropping on Malfoy in their House common room.

Hermione brews the potion as students start to be petrified.

The polyjuice is proved as successful as Harry and Ron sneak into the Slytherin common room.

"The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a Mudblood died." Malfoy's voice was filled with malicious delight.

Time passes in the memories as Harry find the diary in the bathroom and talks to Tom Riddle,

Hermione petrified, the forbidden forest and Aragog. Harry is seen laying in bed, realizing that Moaning Myrtle could be the girl who died when the chamber was first opened. Ginny Weasley, who has been looking increasingly ill throughout the year tries to tell Harry a secret but is interrupted.

The scene turned to Hermione in the hospital wing, Harry grabbing a piece of paper out of her hand with information about basilisks and the word pipes written on it.

Then the unthinkable occurred, Ginny is taken to the Chamber of Secrets. Harry and Ron get Lockhart to help them as they go to rescue Ginny.

The mist swirled with Harry and Tom Riddle standing in the center

"I am Lord Voldemort," spelled out as Tom rearranged the letters of his name.

The basilisk is set on Harry who defends himself with the sword of Gryffindor, barely surviving after being pierced by a venomous fang. Only saved by Pheonix tears after Ginny wakes up.

The memories faded as did Harry's wound.

"What the fuck was that?" Sirius asked, his eyes and mouth open in shock. His body is rigid as he processes what he has just witnessed.

"That was my second year."

"I think that might have been rhetorical, Harry." Hermione quipped from beside him.

"That was a giant fucking snake."

"Yes, Pads we know" Remus stated the obvious.

"I mean it was huge."
