The Twins Who Lived

Can Ghost die?

After study hall, the group of 10 made their way to the great wall, turning a corner, The group stopped, looking up in shock as they looked at nearly headless Nick, He seemed to be frozen in place, his neck partially detached. "Oh no" Dahlia said, she being the first to see the petrified body of Justin Finch-Fletchey, "peeves, get a teacher" harry asked, the poltergeist nodded, racing off before returning with professor McGonagall a few minutes later. "Will Nick be ok, Minnie?" Dahlia asked, looking at the gryffindor ghost, "I do not know Dahlia, we can only hope" Minnie said as she conjured a gurney and carried Justin away, "ah, there's the spiders, just on time" Draco said with mock cheer, the group looked at the spiders scurrying away.

"Was Nick ok? " Pandora asked concerned "yes, it seems that the basilisk just stunned him briefly, he was better by the time Yule break arrived" Hermione explained.

{The scene changed, the ground outside covered in snow as winter rolled in and the holiday had begun}

"Here little moon, I know your going home so this is for you and your father, they'll rid you of any Wrucksprouts" Dahlia said softly, handing the young Ravenclaw a couple of boxes of treats. "And here, in case you need to reach us and you don't have an owl" Blaise added, handing over a small note, the note showed the name of an elf, "she'll keep an ear out for your call" Blaise said. Luna smiled, her eyes widened with tears before she hugged them tightly "Thank you" she whispered, the pair hugged her back "of course little moon" Blaise and Dahlia said softly.

Dahlia and Blaise smiled at Luna, she smiled back, leaning against her adoptive father, Pandora and Xenophilius watched the scene with small smiles, happy that their little girl was taken care of.

{The scene changed, Blaise and Dahlia were walking through the halls after saying goodbye to Luna}

"Think she'll be ok? " Dahlia asked worriedly, "little moon is tough, besides Millie is watching over her" Blaise said reassuringly, Dahlia sighed as she saw the flooded halls "where's it all coming from" Blaise asked confused, "The girl's bathroom, it's haunted by a girl named Myrtle. The poor girl was bullied throughout her years here, she can be sensitive" Dahlia explained. She led the way into the bathroom, looking up at the window as she heard crying, "Come to throw something else at me?" Myrtle asked miserably, "you know I would never throw anything at you Myrtle, can you tell me what happened? " Dahlia asked softly. "Here I was, minding my own business, when someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me." She sniffed, "did you see who did it? " Dahlia asked, "I don't know. I didn't see them. I was just sitting in the U-bend, thinking about death, and it fell through the top of my head." Myrtle sniffed.

The girls looked guilty, all of them had thought she was just annoying, but to find out that she had been bullied and then for it to set in that she was a ghost, a teenage ghost made them feel worse, she didn't have control over her emotions like most of them did from learning. Dahlia looked at Harry, she gestured to Ginny and hagrid, Harry nodded. "hagrid, Gin. I've got some cool animals I'd like to show you" Harry said, leading his wife and the loveable half giant to the separate room.

Myrtle flew off crying, Dahlia sighed before bending down to pick up the book "think this has anything to do with our basilisk problem? " Blaise asked, "possibly, let's go ask the others if they know who this is, I've never heard of Tom Riddle before" Dahlia said

Dumbledore, McGonagall and Sprout paled at that name, while Abraxes, Orion and Walburga sat forward slightly, they knew that name.

{Scene change to the gryffindor common room}

The group examined the diary, they tried a dozen or so scanning and revelation charms but not a single one worked. Harry grabbed a quill "what are you doing has?" Dahlia asked, "just Expirementing" Harry said, he wrote his name into the book, the words vanished "Hello, Harry Potter, my name is Tom Riddle." The diary wrote, the group shared shocked looks before Harry continued to write, "Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry wrote, everyone leaned closer. "Yes." The diary responded, "Can you tell me?" Harry wrote, the group grew excited, hopeful that they would finally be able to figure out where the basilisk was. "No." The diary wrote, causing all of them to groan "But I can show you. Let me take you back fifty years ago." The diary wrote, "show us? " Hermione asked, The diary flips to a page on which the text "13th June" appears. The pages then begin to glow, enveloping Harry and the others, making them disappear into the diary.
