Chapter 85

Water dribbled across the floor, Pandora clutching onto the hem of her petticoat, her eyes dancing around the chamber as her heart bounced up and down. She stood up, looking around to see her reflection in the puddle of who knows what. Her moss-green eyes caught sight of a moving shadow.

Had she just heard her name earlier?

Fear overconsumed her as she struggled to move, dust dancing around the aura.

TOM RIDDLE  walked out of the shadows, his eyes piercing through Pandora.

"Tom?"

Her serene voice filled the airy, gloomy aura as she walked towards him, her eyes finding a sense of comfort as she quickly hugged him.

"What are you doing here?"
His voice was urgent as he blankly stood there.

"I -don't know."

His eyes shifted into confusion and disarray.
"Pandora this is compulsory, you're in the chamber of secrets!"'
He whisper-shouted.

"Stop with the parodies."
Pandora refused to believe him, it was impossible that she had made her way into such a place.

"I'm not joking."

Pandora's jaw was nearly on the floor and her eyes had widened, excitement flooding her veins.

Footsteps echoed from Behind Tom Riddle, his eyes flashing in culmination.

"W-whats that sound?"

Someone with ginger hair was walking towards them in a straight posture, soundless and collected.

Ginny Weasley.

"What's she doing here?!"

Pandora tried to keep calm but failed the moment she saw a haze in Weasley's eyes, it was as if she was restrained, her eyes were full of uneasiness and she stood still and pale.

"Pandora- It's not what it appears, she's just-"

"I don't care, just don't get me involved."

Pandora coldly stared into his hazel eyes, her green ones piercing right through his like a bullet on fire. To say the least, she felt broken, something in her heart snapped like a twig and she wasn't used to the sentiment.

She took out her wand and Imagined her dorm.

"Ivy-"

"Apparatus."

--------

Pandora was late for her class that day and kept on rushing about to the library at lunch, trying to take her mind off what had happened. She was now glad that she accepted Theodore's offer as she knew he would calm her down.
As much as she tried though, she couldn't get it off her mind,

How did she end up in the Chamber of Secrets and what on earth was Ginny Weasley doing there, with her Tom?

She walked towards the section of books and found one all about the 'History of Hogwarts and its enigmas.'
The book had about 7000 pages and had retained so much dust Pandora thought she would suffocate from breathing it.

She swiped the dust before opening the book and darting through the Chapters.

-How Hogwarts got its name:

Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four originators of Hogwarts and living in the tenth century, is enunciated to have had a dream of a “warty hog” that led her to the locale where the school was established and enlightened her to name it Hogwarts...
