The Marauder's Era (And Others) React To New Life;Second Chances

Chapter Fourteen

(A/N: Reverse Rules Apply from actual book: Normal for the first timeline (the ones originally reading/ watching); Italicize for Second Timeline (the ones that are appearing). Since I decided to do this, the chapters where the first timeline goes into the second will not be used in this. Hopefully you understood what I just said.)

"This should be Tom and I getting Salazar's painting," Dahlia had announced when the screen was reappearing.

Tom was waiting for Dahlia in the common room; she came down holding her cloak.

"Why do you have the cloak?" Charlus asked his granddaughter.

"Just in case someone followed us," she said.

Tom silently walked with the girl who he wronged so many times in the previous timeline that had saved him in this life. "Stop," she said narrowing her eyes at him. Tom looked confused and she continues, "I don't need to be an aura reader like you to sense the guilt coming off of you. We are all getting second chances to be happy, you get to be happy, not miserable and scared. That in the past was not you, it was a monster created using your body. Okay?"

"I believe it," Lily said. Her younger counterpart smiled, happy her adult self from the other timeline had agreed her dad was different this time. Some had agreed especially not that in his lap sat his youngest, Helena, who was staring intently at the screen, latching on to her dad's arm.

Tom stared wide-eyed before nodding. "Good, now come on Salazar is at the entrance, I'm going to make him visible when we get down there," Dahlia said.

"That is odd," Salazar said, seeing a translucent version of himself on the screen.

They walked up to the entrance and Dahlia looked to the side supposedly where Salazar was.

Everyone looked down quickly, to see the translations; they (especially those in the Slytherin house) really wanted to see the Chamber. Salazar sat there amused at their excitement.

"Open," Tom hissed, followed by "Sssstairsss," form Dahlia. The door opened and they went down the steps where Dahlia stopped and her hands glowed blue as sAlazar became visible.

"I just realized Lily and Salazar have the same eyes," Dorea commented. Both Lilys and Salazar looked at each other and realized that yes they do have the same eye color, meaning Dahlia would have if the shade of hers didn't change.

"Hello, walk down the hall and go off to the side, you will find an office with my painting in it," Salazar directed as they followed him to the office. "Open," Dahlia hissed again. The doors opened again and they saw many books and started looking around as Salazar had disappeared. "They were supposed to go to my vault," his voice sounded again as Dahlia and Tom both jumped. They turned to see Salazar in a painting. "I had a feeling that I shuldn't put them in my vault so I didn't, but you two as my Heirs are able to have it," he continued. Tom grabbed the painting off the wall and they quickly went to the common rooms and into the Heir room that is connected to the others, the rest of the group was there as those of them who were heirs had given them permission to enter.

"So that's the Slytherin Heir room? And there connected to the others?" Bellatrix asked.

"Yes, if you are invited in or happen to be siblings with the one deemed as the Heir, than you can go through those doors and stay in a set of private dorms with those of your choosing," Dahlia explained.

Salazar was placed against the wall, and he asked, "Whoa re the other heirs?"

"Charlus Potter is Heir Gryffindor, Luna Peverell is the Hufflepuff Heir, Dahlia Peverell is the Ravenclaw Heir but she's in line for Gryffindor and Slytherin, and Tom Riddle is the Slytherin Heir," Abraxas spoke and the respective people raised there hands when their names were called.
