Harry potter and the four musketeers [BOOK 2]

into the chamber of secrets

they've all now ran to the bathroom to find moaning myrtle taking Lockhart with them Taylor and Ron watching Lockhart every move pointing their wands at him as he follows along. as they all slowly walk into the bathroom moaning myrtle turns " oh, who's there?" she says as she turns to face the lot and giggles to herself " oh hi harry, what do you want?" she asks. " to ask how you died." he reply's " ohh, it was dreadful " she nods pointing down " it happened right here in this very cubicle." they all listen as she continues " I'd hidden because olive Hornby was teasing me about my glasses, I was crying. and then I heard somebody come in." " who was it myrtle?" Mia asks she replies " I don't know. I was distraught!" she exclaims as she slowly begins to float down towards the group" but they said something funny, a kind of made up language and I realised a boy was speaking-" "parseltongue" Mia mumbles to harry "and I realised it was a boy who was speaking so I opened the door to tell him to go away, and I died." "just like that? how?" Taylor asks. " I just remember seeing a big pair of yellow eyes over there by that sink" she says pointing to one of the sinks Infront of them then floating away. they all begin to move closer looking at the sink as harry gently rubs his hands along the edges of the sink wall then down to the tap as he turns it a little he notices something on the tap " a snake!" Taylor points out." this is it alright" Mia remarks. "well say something!" Ron blurts out as they look at him " in parseltongue one of you'd" he says looking between Mia and harry. " uhhh sure, but like what do I say?" mia questioned as harry begins to say something in parseltongue. Just then a click is heard and stone moving as the top of the sinks begins to lift and unseal floating up in the air then each sink begins to slide forward disconnecting from the others next to it the one which held the snake symbol began to go down into the ground to reveal a bottomless looking pit within they all peer over the edge " don't tell me we gotta jump why couldn't they make some nice stairs " Mia retorts sarcastily with anxiousness in her voice " uh so the snake can go freely?" Lynx says with a straight face " I was being sarcastic?!" Mia replied. Lockhart lets out a deep breath " excellent work children, ah good work well then ill just be uh no need to for me to stay" he then try's to run past the group as Delta just moves her foot to the side tripping him face first then going to grab him as her and harry haul him back up " oh yes their is!" delta sneered as they push him forward towards the chamber he clutches the two side sinks for balance from falling back into the dark pit. they all raise wands to his face " teachers first" delta says with a smirk. " now children, what good will it do?" Lockhart try's to Bargen " better you than us" Ron retorts. " um, but obviously. Yes" he mumbles slowly looking over his shoulder down into the dark hole, he then turns now facing it," sure you don't want to test it first?" Lockhart pleads as Ron pokes him sending him falling into the hole as he screams " damn Ron, what if it was just a concrete floor down there and he just goes splat!! u wanna add murder to our list of detentions oh wait we would go to Azkaban for that?!" Taylor exclaims as she looks into the hole waiting for a sound, something, anything. "it is really quite filthy down here." Lockhart spoke his voice dull. "welp move your arse idiot were coming down" delta shouts down the hole " cant belive am doing this" she jumps down instead of a scream you hear delta going wooohooo as she goes down her voice going quitter." aint no way she just jump in there" taylor trembled as she stood shaking " im not going, ill stay here, you know maybe get a better teacher for help ill-" taylor rambles on with panic as Ron pushes her in as she screams falling in " fudge you!" mia laughs as lynx steps forward towards the hole she pauses for a second rons hand slowly raises up ready to push "don't you dare! im going-" she hissed taking a jump in. "well looks like your next ron" mia says with a scary smile on her face ron cosiously walks towards the hole " mia do-" before he could finish mia shoves him in then looks at harry " what he shoved others in only right he gets shoved" she says with a shrug before looking down into the whole going down harry following straight behind. the whole began to twist and bend like a you were in a tube at a water slide, once reaching the bottom they all landed on bones. delta stood in front of lockhart like she was having a standoff with him with her wand raised the others coming out the pipe one by one adjusting themselves and brushing themselves off too looking around the room they were in, which had different pipes leading to different areas."you all good?" delta asks. "no, were in a tunnel system with a giant snake that could be anywhere and kill us with one look" taylor mumbles,once theyre all ready they choose a tunnel to start with " renember any sign of movement close your eyes straight away." harry adds before entering the tunnel. delta waving her wond at the tunnel than back at lockhart moving her head slightly as he hurries forward into the tunnel everyone else following suit. as they get to a T shaped end harry jestures for them to go this way as they exit the pipe into a more cave like area infront of them a door with serpent heads on it." that's got to be it" mia points towards the door. as they go to walk closer taylor stops "is that its skin..." upon looking down at there feet a long stretch of snake skin lay as it lay weaved round the room" bloody hell whoever shed this must be like 60 feet long!" ron exclaims as he looks along it all " or more! " he adds just then a thump is heard lockhart has passed out falling to the ground " your kidding, heart of a lion this one..." delta mutters lockhart then snatches deltas wand out from her hand rushing to his feet "aha!" he chuckles dulta just stands there motionless"i know your dumb but really? theres 5 on 1 they all have wands too, and quite fankly I don't need a wand with ur scronny behind!" delta toys. " maybe but im more skilled" he replies Lynx mutter " debatable.." " the adventure ends here children, but don't fret the world wil know our story on how I was too late to save the girl and how you all tragically lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body" he goes on backing up slowly moving his wand from one person to another " so.. you first miss snape, say goodbye to your memories" before anyone could use a spell on him he casts the spell obliviate and it backfires sending him flying back crashing into the rocky surface behind, delta slowly walks towards him in hysterics " oh this is funny,im going to write a story on how your a coward and tried to use a wand that doesn't belong to you,haha" she mutters to her self aloud bending down and retriving her wand from the floor .just as she does so the area begins to rumble Delta rushes over to where mia is sticking close by. and within seconds the roof collapses separating harry mia and delta from the other four. they all go running or diving out the wayfrom flying bits of rock and once the rumbling stops they all adjust themselves looking at the now fallen rubble separating them "are you guys okay?!" harry shouts " were fine!" Taylor shouts back. lockhart groans lifting his head up and sitting looking to the three infront of him hello, who are yous?" ron looks at him befuddled " um, Ron, Ron Weasley and that's lynx Lovegood and Taylor Diggory?" lockhart just nods still confused " really? and uh... who am I ?" " lockharts memory charm backfired he doesn't have a clue who he is?!" Lynx shouts through the rubble and all that is heard is a loud cackle of laughter from mia and delta " oh haha that is amazing!" delta blurts out mid laughter " ah yes karma's a bitch". Lockhart laughs to him self " this is an odd sort of place, do you live here?" he asks throwing a small rock up then catching it."no?!" ron replied as hi picked up the small rock from his hand and hit him over the head with it knocking him out " ronn! what if you've just made his memory worse!" taylor shouted " make it worse look at him!" ron retorts. " what do we do now, were stuck" lynx shouts getting back to the issue at hand, delta collects herself together again letting out some last laughs " you guys just wait there and try shift some of the rock so we can get back through. then we'll go find ginny" harry mia and delta then turn to face the door with the serpents on it "I think this is you guys strong suit, snakes and all " delta jokes backing away to let them forward. Mia then says something in parsel tongue and the 7 snake heads on the door begin to coil back as one slithers its way round the door a clank being heard with each snake going back and a loud one as the door creaks open the three walk forward peering in, from within a small tunnel then inside was an open area with a large walkway covered in water, as they enter further in the room becomes more visable. snake heads positioned with mouths open tongue hissed out differently on each the snake heads ran all the way long the long stretch on both sides and towards the end of the walkway ginny was seen laying on the ground. the three of them began running forward towards ginny they all ran to the floor beside her, delta checking her pulse as harry tried shouting for her" ginny, oh gunny please don't be dead, wake up, wake up." he repeats trying to shake her awake " I don't think shes dead harry but shes-" a voice emerges from behind " she wont wake." they all look towards this man now slowly approaching them." tom, tom riddle. its you isn't it " harry asks both mia and delta stay silent listening. " what do you mean she wont wake" harry then asks. "she's not...?" harry then asks wanting to know if she is alive. " shes alive still yes, but only just" riddle is now behind mia who's sat crouched by ginnys feet she looks up at him studying him his features, his eyes,hair,skin tone everything pondering why this man has the same surname as her and why he oddly looks slightly alike." are you a ghost?" harry asks tom." a memory preserved in a diary for 50 years." he answers looking down at them all pausing briefly of mia " ginny shes cold as ice..." delta mutters to harry. "ginny,please don't be dead. please wake up" harry tries again,as his and deltas attention are on ginny tom slowly grabs harry and deltas wands which lay beside them together on the floor, mia too busy in thought to notice yet. " tom you have to help theres a basalisk-" harry rambles on trying to get help from the man " it wont come unti its called." delta leans back to grab her wand noticing its not there and then harry whos slowly standing up watching toms every move as she glances to tom she notices 2 wands in his hands hers, and Harrys. Mia also notices as her friends sudden panic jolted her out of her thoughts. " give me my wand tom" harry ask his tone of voice less nicer than it was previously" and mine too, I don't do well with others taking what's mine" delta adds her face staring down tom." oh don't worry yous wont be needing it" he says backing away ever so slightly, Mia quietly grabbing hers back out from her robes. " listen, we've got to go, we've got to save her." harry persists getting more agitated now " im afraid I cant do that harry. You see as poor ginny grows weaker I grow stronger" tom stated. the three looked both angry and confused by his statement " you see it was ginny weasly who opened the chamber of secrets" he continues." no she couldn't, she wouldn't?!" harry exclaims" it was ginny who set the basalisk on the mud bloods and filches cat. Ginny who wrote the threatening messages on the walls, why? because I told her to." he added a nit of a smirk forming,"youll find that I cant be very persuasive, not that she knew what she was doing ofcourse, she was in shall we say a sort of trance, still the power of the diary began to scare her, and she tried to dispose of it in the girls bathroom and then who should find it but you?" the very person I was most anxious to meet. he begins to circle harry pointing his own wand and him and had having stashed deltas in his robe. mia and delta slowly backing away from him as he grew close moving behind harry on either side, " and why did you want to meet me" harry asked stepping closer looking tom in the face as he spoke. " I knew I had to talk to you, meet you if I could, so I decided to show you my capture of that brainless oaf hagrid,to gain your trust" "Hagrids my friend!" harry shouted as delta added "don't you fucking speak of him, and you framed him didn't you!" tom chuckles ever so slightly " you best tone it down mutt" tom snapped back delta just glares and him and so do the others." and it was my word against Hagrid's" tom chimed. " only dumbledore seemed to think he was innocent" "I bet Dumbledore saw right through you didn't he?" mia added. " he certainly kept an annoyingly close watch on me after that, I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the chamber again while I was still in school so I decided to leave behind a diary, preserving my 16year old self in its pages.so that one day, I would be able to lead another to finish Salazar Slytherins noble work. "well you haven't finished it this time" Mia retorts back." and in just a few hours the mandrake draught will be ready and everyone who was petrified will be all right again" harry remarked as he got closer to tom almost sizing him up. " haven't I told you?" tom laughs" killing mud bloods doesn't matter to me anymore for many months now my new target has been you" tom says staring directly at harry a chill runs down his spine." how is it a baby with no extortionary magical talent was able to defeat the greatest wizard of all time? how did you escape with nothing but a scar" tom sneered pressing the wand to Harrys forehead, a moment a realisation starts to him them all as to just who tom riddle is."while lord Voldemort's powers were destroyed!" tom hissed." why do you care how I escaped? Voldemort was after your time" harry retorted back, " Voldemort is my time. Voldemort is my past. Present and future" tom then turns around and begins to write a string of words with the wand 'tom marvolo riddle' and with a flick of his hands the letters begin to move and re erange from their current order now reading 'I am lord Voldemort' shock curses through each of their minds and whether harry didn't put them both together yet Mia certainly did, the father Snape's so desperately been trying to hide from mia is lord Voldemort mias face drops as she slowly goes to look at delta seeing if shes pieced the same puzzle pieces together delta is already side looking mia, she knows, she knows who her father is. so many thoughts are rushing around in mias head so many it almost is overwhelming, why him, what is delta going to do now she knows, what are the others going to think.
