Theodora Riddle {A Harry Potter fanfic} *Completed*

Chapter Eighteen.

Theodora awoke early the next morning and did what she had been doing for the past seven days: she wrote in Toms' diary.

Tom?

Theodora?

I made a new friend yesterday, Tom. She's called Ellie Lestrange.

Ah, that's good.

Theodora felt her energy slipping away. She guessed it was the diary; Theodora didn't want it anymore, but she was so weak. Then everything went black...

Abigail woke up and was surprised to see that Theodora was gone. Her bed was neatly made but something wasn't right...Abigail woke Ellie and pointed to Theodora's empty bed.

"Where is she?" Ellie asked. Abigail shrugged.

"Breakfast possibly?" Abigail said. The two girls got dressed and began walking to the great hall. They rounded a corridor and stopped dead. The golden trio were huddled around Mrs Norris, who was as stiff as a board and her tail was impaled through a spike. There was writing on the wall above Mrs Norris:

The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware.

It was written in blood.

"Oh. My. God." Ellie whispered, a horrified expression on her face. Abigail could only nod. Students began coming around the corner opposite Ellie and Abigail. Percy Weasley was at the front, with Professor McGonagal. They both stopped dead when they saw Mrs Norris. Filch ran in and nearly fainted when he saw Mrs Norris. His eyes fell on Harry.

"You did this!" Filch accused. Harry shook his head.

"I didn't. I swear." Harry said desperately. McGonagal shooed everyone away and said "a second year could hardly do something like this, Argus."

Dumbledore came next and spoke of mandrakes which could be used to de-petrify Mrs Norris. The Golden trio ran off and Ellie and Abigail continued looking for Theodora. They looked in the Great Hall. Nope.

The Slytherin common room? Nothing.

The Kitchens? Ditto.

Then they looked in moaning Mrytles bathroom and found Theodora leaning against one of the cracked mirrors, fast asleep. There was a black diary on the bathroom floor; Ellie picked it up and slipped it into her robe pocket.

Abigail was shaking Theodora awake and didn't notice. Theodora jerked awake. She looked terrible; there were huge bags under her eyes and her skin wasn't white; it was a grey-ish colour.

"W-What happened? Why am I here?" Theodora gasped, looking around. Abigail stared at Theodora in confusion.

"You don't remember coming in here?" Ellie asked. Theodora shook her head.

"I don't remember anything." Theodora said.
