The Boy Who Protected

Diaries Memory

Kaden POV:

The rest of the Christmas holiday after Hermione's polyjuice mishap have been quiet... almost too quiet like something was going to happen that would shake everyone of us. That's just a feeling though, right now I'm walking with Harry, Ron, and Naomi as term has started again. As we were walking we turned a corner and saw a corridor flooding. The same corridor that was flooded the night all of this started.

'Strange.' I thought as we got closer and realized it was Myrtle's bathroom.

When we entered, all of the sinks were on and over flowing. Except for one that looked to be broken. In the middle of the bathroom were two diaries..

Harry and I cautiously approached the diaries and picked them up. Harry's had "Tom Marvalo Riddle" on the back while the one I was holding had "Mary Nocturas Riddle" on the back of it.

'I don't know anyone by the name Mary Riddle.' I thought to myself as I was examining the diary. It was completely empty, no marking of any kind. Like it had never been used.

Before I could ask anything Myrtle's voice rang out

"What? Come to throw more things at me?"

"Why would someone throw things at you?" Harry asked.

"Don't ask me! Here I am minding my own business and people think it's funny to throw books at me." She said hysterically.

"But it wouldn't hurt would it? I mean you're a ghost, it would just go right through you." Ron said.

'This bloody moron.'

"Naomi." I said.

"Already on it." She said as she smacked the back of his head.

'OW!" Ron shouted as he rubbed the back of his head. "What was that for?"

"For being insensitive, you git." She replied with a glare.

"Sure, let's throw things at Myrtle because she can't feel it. 10 points if it goes through her stomach, 50 points of it goes through her head." She said as she punched Ron through his head earning a whimper from the ginger.

"But who threw these at you?" I asked/

"I don't know, I didn't see them. I was just sitting in the U bend thinking about death when they fell through my head." She explained.

Bit nasty but ok, whatever floats your boat Myrtle. I had a bad feeling about these diaries. Harry and I will have to be careful. They could lure us into a trap of some kind.

"Why would someone throw away blank diaries?" Harry asked.

"I don't know Harry, but we need to be careful with these diaries. We don't know what kind of magic they could hold." I told him.

"Wait, I've seen those names before." Ron said getting a look at the diaries. "Filch made me polish their shields like 50 times. They were from 50 years ago."

'What did they do to get shields?" Naomi asked.

"They got them for services to the school." Ron said.

"Wait, Ron did you say 50 years ago?" I asked.

"Yeah why?" Ron asked confused.

"You and Harry told Kaden, Hermione, and I that Malfoy said the chamber was opened 50 years ago and that a girl died." Naomi said.

"Those diaries could tell us who set the monster loose and what it is." Ron said excited.

"I don't know about that, Ron. These diaries seem suspicious to me." I said as I kept a weary eye on the diary in my hand.
