The Eyes of the Heir

Chapter 29: It's Over

Zoe's POV

I furrowed my eyebrows as I listened carefully to the voice I just heard. I could be wrong, but I could also be right, was that Harry?

I heard footsteps running on the shallow water and stopped as he spoke again.

"Ginny! Oh Ginny please don't be dead! Wake up, WAKE UP!! Please wake up." 

"It is Harry!"  I told Death. I immediately but quietly removed the wall of rocks Death made and was about to go to Harry when Death tugged my arm.

"Bloody hell! I was dead serious when I said that you should stop tugging my arm."  I muttered and pulled my arm from his grasp.

"Be careful!" He said and I nodded, quickly making my way outside the pipes, and hiding at one of the statues.

Since Harry was here, Death can't show himself. It's against the promise we've made to Dumbledore if he ever did.

I then peaked and saw Harry, kneeling on the ground, trying to wake Ginny up by shaking her. I have to warn Harry! Tom might kill him!

But before I could make my way to him, Tom showed up from the darkness of the cave, and stared at Harry.

"She won't wake."  He said softly, and Harry immediately whipped his head to look at him. They both stared at each other for quite some time, and then Tom approached Harry.

"Tom--Tom Riddle,"Harry said... wait, he knows him? "what do you mean she won't wake? she-she's not-"

"She's still alive,"Tom said as he stopped in front of Harry and Ginny "but only just."

If Harry knows Tom, does that mean that he's aware that he is Voldemort?

"Are you a ghost?" he asked.

"A memory, preserved in the diary for fifty years."

Judging by Harry's actions, he doesn't know who this monster really is. Harry was checking Ginny's pulse, unaware that Tom just bent down to take his wand.

Zoe! You must take action!

I took a deep breath and appeared from where I was hiding, took my wand out, and pointed it at Tom.

"Harry!" I said, and the boy I was calling turned to me. I saw Tom furrow his eyebrows as Harry approached me. When near, Tom immediately made action with Harry's wand as he made a non-verbal spell.

"Protego!"I said, and deflected Tom's spell. Harry's eyes were wide as he looked at me, and then at Tom.

"Don't attack her! She's my friend!" Harry said, eyebrows now furrowed.

"There's no use Harry! It's all a trick! Tom Riddle is-"

"Shut up! Let me tell him! You've been doing an awfully good job at spilling the beans."Tom said as he glared at me.

"I don't understand. Tell me what? And you know him??" Harry asked as he looked at me.

I nodded my head as I still pointed my wand at Tom. If he wants to tell Harry then get on with it! 

"No... there's no time for this! We're in the Chamber of Secrets and there is a Basilisk-"

"It won't come until it's called."Tom said, cutting Harry.

The boy beside me then stood straight, looking confused as ever. I sighed at Harry. Can Godric give him some sense so that he could catch up with what's happening quickly???
