Chapter 8 ~The ghost~

Julietta was wandering around the school when she caught a glimpse of a ghost walking through a stone wall. She followed it as she needed a distraction to keep her mind away from her parent's deaths. She would often start new projects when thoughts of her parents began to creep into her mind. She walked into one of the many girl's bathrooms in Hogwarts. When she walked in she saw the ghost of a young girl. She wore Hogwarts robes and glasses. Her thick hair was pulled into two ponytails and a frown covered her face. "Hello. I am Julietta Goldwood and who are you?" Julietta said and the ghost looked towards Julietta. She had ghost tears streaming down her acne covered cheeks. "I am Myrtle Warren. Now leave me alone!" she wailed and Julietta just calmly coaxed Myrtle "Why don't you tell me what is wrong." 

"Everything is wrong! She is the most horrible evil BITCH to ever walk the face of the earth. I should have died just so I could see her burning in the fires of hell. Everything is awful! Olive Hornby, the girl who bullied me, went to the ministry so now I have to stay at this horrible school. What is the point of being a ghost if you can't haunt people for revenge? I died here and now I am going to spend all eternity stuck here. I died right there when I saw a pair of glowing eyes from over there. How pathetic am I that I died when I saw eyes." she wept while pointing at the place she died and the place she saw the eyes. Then the girl pretended to faint and fell into a toilet before disappearing. 

Most people would have laughed but Julietta was captured at the mention of dying at the sight of yellow eyes.  You see Julietta loved magical beasts more than anything else. From the thestrals that wander one of her many estates to the merpeople that would often look after her as a child. She knew the legends of the basilisk and her family owned a tooth of a basilisk. She had once seen a full skeleton of a basilisk before at a family friends house before it was confiscated by the ministry. She had also heard the rumors about the chamber of Salazar Slytherin. It wasn't hard for her to peice two and two together.

The girl walked over to the sink where Myrtle pointed and her sharp eye automatically noticed the small snake on the tap of the sink. Julietta let out a laugh at how simple it was. She had heard stories of search parties being held and even Merlin himself trying to find it. Surely someone would have had to have been washing their hands and would have seen the snake. How had no one been able to find the chamber before now? She knew that the chamber had been opened previously but she highly doubted that the boy accused had done it. So somebody else must have found the chamber besides her. They had the account from a ghost who would have seen the creature but they still couldn't find it. She sighed as she thought of how painstakingly obvious it was.

Her Grandfather had always been afraid of her family dying. He was obsessed with teaching his grandchildren defensive spells, what plants can kill you and how to be able to protect yourself without a wand. The man had even sought out the last of the Slytherin line in the form of the Gaunt's so they could teach him parseltongue. His grandchildren always knew how to say "Stop." in the strange tongue. She, unlike the rest of her family, truly enjoyed the lessons. The girl always sucked knowledge up like a vampire would blood and her Grandfather was always happy to teach. One of the things that made her such a great dueler was her Grandfather reading her spells instead of bedtime stories. That and his devotion to making sure his family would know how to defend themselves, should the occasion ever arise. When her Grandfather passed away a few years after her parent's death she was saddened greatly by the loss.

She tried a few methods for trying to open the chamber but was unsuccessful until she whispered the very little parseltongue she knew. The sinks began to sink into the ground leaving a large black hole. Julietta smiled knowing she had opened the chamber of secrets itself. She walked over to one of the windows on the other side of the room and smashed the glass. She watched it shatter before pulling a large chunk of it out of the remaining glass. The girl was smart and was sure as hell not going to look at that thing in the eyes without something to stop her from being killed. The she walked over to the hole and jumped.

Meanwhile, Tom Riddle meet with his Knights to get updates on their assigned tasks. First began Avery when he said "Well my Lord. The only living members of her family are her older brother and sister. Her sister is a world-renowned dragon trainer and the only known one to have ever been able to ride her dragons. She runs her own dragon sanctuary and has written many books on the subject. Her brother spends his days tracking and killing Grindlewards men. He is damn good at it as well. He takes no more than two days to track down who he is looking for and they are usually dead before three days can pass since he received the target. No one is as efficient and calculated as him, many call him the emotionless hunter. The last time he was seen in public was at the Chudley Cannons vs the Foulmouth Falcons Quidditch game in a private box. The next time Julietta Goldwood will see them is during the Christmas holidays that are approaching soon."

Next Dolohov opened his mouth to explain "I couldn't sleep with any of her roommates. They have all swiftly denied my advances. I did on the other hand sleep with one of her roommate's teammate's girlfriend. One of her roommates is captain of the Gobstones team and I slept one of those girls. The only issue is they have nothing. I am sorry my Lord." They spent the rest of the night talking about what they had heard about the girl. Tom Riddle sat there trying to figure out the mystery that was Julietta Goldwood
