Heir of the Founders

Changes

Chapter 12

Harry finished breakfast and decided that he was going to find Luna. He went up to Cho and a faint blush appeared on her face as things were still awkward between them. "Hey Cho, have you seen Luna?" Harry said pretending he didn't notice her blushing.

"Y-Yeah" Cho started "She was heading down to the forest." Harry nodded and said a quick thanks before walking swiftly towards the forbidden forest where he knew he would find Luna and the thestrals.

He arrived there and saw she again was wearing no shoes. Harry guessed people were still hiding them.

"Hello Harry" she said before turning around. Harry always wondered how she knew it was him. He knew it wasn't the best time but got straight to the point.

"Hello Luna, would you mind coming with me to my common room? Hermione and i have to tell you and Neville something."

"Of course" She said in her usual dreamy matter. Harry realised that they were far away from the tower and decided to try something out.

"Take ahold of my hand please Luna and expect to feel dizzy" Harry said unsurely. She took ahold of his hand and he did something that made him feel weird.

"I want to go to my common room." He said before feeling a slight breezy feeling and then finding himself and Luna in the common room a second later. To his surprise neither him nor Luna felt dizzy or anything. He realised he had just teleported. By the amused look on Hermione's face when he punched the air, he could tell she had done it too. Neville was seated on the seat by the fire and Hermione opposite him. Luna went to join Neville and Harry with Hermione.

After a look at Hermione, Harry started. "What we are about to tell you cannot be known by anyone else. We trust you both with this." The pair nodded before being told about how Dumbledore had been a manipulating bastard, the Weasley's, Harry's inheritance and the soul bond. Harry had to admit he was very surprised when Luna smiled at him and swore on her life and magic that she would not tell anyone anything that she had just been told. Neville did the same thing and Harry and Hermione were stunned by the pairs loyalty.

After explaining everything, Harry thought it prudent to show them around their tower and because they were yet to look. As they went down the hallway, a phoenix came and motioned for everyone to grab his tail feathers. Harry knew this was his one because when the bird sang a song, he could understand it. He grabbed his feathers and a split-second later, the rest did the same think. Hermione screamed when she felt herself being thrown around and heard the others screaming. She drew in a breath to scream again when everything went black.

A/N:I was going to leave it at this but te last one was a short chapter so i kept going.

Harry woke just in time to throw him self out-of-the-way from falling rocks. His eyes widened when he heard a voice. "Harry! Are you ok!?" No no no no no no, this can't be happening! He thought. He called back yes and proceeded to head away from the rocks. His worst fears were confirmed when he saw a door. Not any old door, one with 7 snakes on it. He spoke parseltongue and the door opened, to reveal a young Ginny Weasley just like he had in his second year. He groaned internally before making his way down to her, being careful not to let his wand go. He would not make the same mistakes as last time.

"Tom, where are you? I know you're in here and i know u framed Hagrid."He said in a calm tone.

A sneer came from within the darkness and a second later, a sixteen year old Tom Riddle stepped out with a malicious grin spread across his face. "Well done" He said sarcastically. "You know it was me. But don't worry, no-one else will know. You shall be dead by the time someone knows you're missing and you will watch little Miss Weasley here die" He emphasised every word a little more than the one before. After he had said this, a hissing sound came out of his mouth, commanding the basilisk to come out and attack.

Harry kept calm as he knew the basilisk was his and it would be loyal to him. Salazar Slytherin's mouth opened and out came the basilisk. Harry shielded his eyes as hissed back at the snake.

"Basilisk, i am the heir of the four founders and i ask that you not harm me. I pose no threat to you and i know that Salazar wanted only purebloods, but if that had happened, we would have died out eventually. Salazar has chosen me worthy of the title Lord Slytherin. This man over here is not the true heir. He is descendant, but he never proved himself worthy of the title. Please allow me to look you in the eye" Harry hissed.

"Of course, M'Lord. This man claimed he was the heir. As i see he is not. Can i go in your arm and make myself a tattoo please? I have a lot to tell you." Harry looked up to find the basilisk with black eyes not yellow and Harry nodded. He was taken back by how fast the snake accepted him but allowed the snake to do so. When the snake shrunk itself and then embedded itself in Harry's arm, the basilisk spoke into Harry's mind.

"Grab that diary and let me out of your arm when you have it. "It has dark magic and needs to be destroyed sot he fool Riddle can leave" Harry thought back "ok" made his way to Ginny, acting like he was worrying about her. Harry had made the same mistake and left his wand on the ground so Tom picked it up and was about to torture Harry when he grabbed the diary and no more than a second later, the basilisk had emerged and bitten into the book. This time it wasn't ink, but real blood pouring out from in the book. Faces of Voldemort floated up and screamed at Harry, trying to somehow kill him. Tom was in flames and was burning on the spot. His screams echoed off the Chamber's walls before finally ceasing and leaving behind a pile of ashes and a wand where young Tom Riddle was a minute ago. The basilisk quickly went into Harry again and he was confused why for a bit but then understood.

Ginny was waking up.
