"Alright, I made Dumbledore let us share a room, so when it's midnight we'll perform some disillusion charms, and go to Wailing Wanda's lavatory, got it?" Naga whispered in a harsh tone.

"Isn't it Moaning Myrtle?" Mattheo asked.

"Whatever, Draco told me that Potter might have an invisibility cloak, so keep a lookout," Naga said.

"Fine," Tom huffed.

"Ready? Naga asked her brothers.

"Ready!" they said.

"Vitripellem!" Naga chanted.

"Okay, let's go," Naga said once she performed the charm.

As the three Riddles crept around Hogwarts, towards Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, Mattheo bumped into a suit of armor, causing it to fall to the ground with a great crash.

"I heard something over here, Mrs. Norris," a voice said.

"Shoot! It's that squib caretaker!" Naga whisper-yelled, "Way to go, Mattheo!"

"Sorry," Mattheo whispered.

"Ugh, it was probably just Peeves," Filch huffed.

"Can I kick the cat?" Tom asked Naga in a whisper.

"Later," Naga replied.

"Fine."

Once they got to the door to the lavatory, Naga shared some valuable information with her brothers.

"You guys remember when I was away for sometime in August, right?" Naga asked the two.

Once they nodded in agreement, Naga continued.

"I tracked down Newt Scamander, and used the Cruciatus curse on him, he told me some very valuable information. The Basilisk has a similar life cycle of a Phoenix. After 2 years of death, the Basilisk will reform, so that means that we can wreak havoc, just like Father, on this school, and get rid of all the mudbloods," Naga whispered in a dark tone.

"I just saw something move over there!" Mattheo exclaimed.

"Oh, it better not be Potter," Tom whispered in an angry tone.

"Whatever, let's go in," Naga said as she opened the door.

"I thought I'd be seeing you here," a voice behind them said.

"Shut up, Myrtle," Tom hissed.

"Ah, just as snappy as your father," Myrtle said with a cackle.

"Ugh, why are there not curses and spells that you can use on annoying ghosts," Naga whispered under her breath as she approached the sink with the glittering snake eyes. The boys waited a minute, glancing at each other quickly.

"Come, you idiots, I want to go see Basil," Naga hissed at her brothers impatiently.

"Coming, coming," Mattheo replied.

"Open," Naga said in Parseltongue.

The emerald eyes on the serpents started to glitter and the whole sink sank into the floor, creating a tunnel that Naga jumped into without hesitating.

"Come on!" Naga yelled from inside the tunnel.

With that, Tom and Mattheo jumped.

"Wow! I never thought that it would be this big!" Mattheo exclaimed

"What did you expect? A broom closet?" Tom said.

"Can you guys hurry up!?!" Naga yelled at them.

"We're coming!" Tom hollered back.

Once Tom and Mattheo finally got where Naga is, which happened to be at the foot of the giant statue of Salazar Slytherin himself, Naga called the Basilisk.

"Basil, come here. Mummy's home," Naga hissed in Parseltongue

About a minute later, Tom and Mattheo heard a slithering sound behind them that made their skin prickle.

"Hello, Basil," Naga hisses in Parseltongue.

At Basil's response, all Tom and Mattheo heard was a hissing noise, but Naga heard, "I was waiting for you, goddess of serpents ."
