om grabbed you causing you to be pulled out of your thoughts, after you regained your senses you were pushed through a whole, which was where the sink should have been.
 “how did you even find this place?" you say completely ignoring the fact he pushed you to a dark abyss, “last year, when I learned of my heritage,” Tom said while dusting off his robes, “so where are we?” you say while skipping towards him, as he was much more quicker than you, being a foot taller had its advantages, “ the chamber of secrets of course, tom said as you walked into a massive room with snake fountains and a man’s face at the opposite side of the room, Tom was hissing to himself but you payed it no mind completely lost in the scene around you, but that was short lived as in the corner of your eye you noticed a huge snake emerge from the lake surrounding you, Tom covered your eyes and you wondered if he was going to kill you or save you.
“you are not to hurt this one or any other pureblood, I need you to kill someone and give me there heart" Tom said to the Basilisk causing you to look at him funny as he was speaking a weird language, you would have probably been on the floor laughing at how ridiculous he sounded if it wasn’t for the ten foot Basilisk infront of you “understood master, it will be done" the Basilisk bowed its head and slithered off towards its next meal, Tom finally let go off you causing you to open your eyes and stare at him like he’d lost his mind “why do you have a Basilisk, I thought Hagrid was bad for keeping weird creatures but you take the cake" Tom looked at you and you could tell he was extremely interested on Hagrid keeping wild animals, “do tell me more” you notice the spark in his eyes once more “Well he’s got a Acromantula, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it, he’s named it Aragog the thing almost ate me when I last saw it but luckily I knew the light spell to blind it enough to escape” you say while twirling your wand, after a few moments the Basilisk had returned with a heart in its mouth causing you to cross your arms at Tom “who’s heart is this? And why not just get the Basilisk to kill Dumbledore ?” Tom once again had his hand over your eyes “one, I am not sure its probably just a muggles, and two because Dumbledore would be able to stop it and I’d rather not get caught” Tom said while he took the heart and began brewing the potion “now it says to leave it for a week so it has time to react” you say as tom put the last ingredient into the cauldron, Tom huffed and walked out of the Chamber to find a girl crying over a lifeless body “god, I didn’t mean for you to die, who am I going to bully now" a  petite girl of the name olive Hornby was saying to a lifeless nerd looking girl of the name Myrtle.
Olive turned to see a grief stricken Dumbledore emerge from the entrance he had heard the cries and rushed to see what the commotion was but could never have guessed this outcome. He looked down at the scene, a girl crying over a mashed up body, Dumbledore couldn’t quite recognise her as she had been so badly mauled.
“what is the meaning of this?” Dumbledore spoke anger clearly evident in his voice, this caused olive to stop crying and stare at him like a deer in headlights “I don’t know sir, I was making fun of her glasses and then she started screaming, I thought I’d check to see if she was ok" Dumbledore could sense she was telling the truth she had no malice in her to do something like this.
Dumbledore looked around to see what could have done this making sure to raise his wand to protect olive, he could sense extreme dark magic, Dumbledore looked in each stall shining his wand and watching closely for any sign of movement, he had reached the last cubicle when he noticed the intense aurora of evil, he could almost touch it, but the moment was outlived when olive spoke “Sir shouldn’t we report this to headmaster dippet?” at the girls words Dumbledore turned back towards the door without another word.
“that was close, he was inches away from us" you say as tom un-vanishes you, “he always gets in the way, but next time he won’t be so lucky” tom Said as he held you back into the shadows while watching olive leave the bathroom, Tom and you took the opportunity and left the bathroom quickly returning to the common room.
