Forever and Always: Book 1 Of Always

Chamber of Secrets Part 2

Draco PoV
     We went down the opening and dropped to find snake skin and bones everywhere.
     I was honestly terrified of what would happen but I held it together for Rebecca.
     Weasley ran forward and grabbed Lockhart to keep him from leaving.
     We kept walking until we came across the giant and recent shed skin and Lockhart fainted.
     "Heart of a lion, this one," Weasley pointed at Lockhart.
     Before any of us could see, Lockhart grabbed Weasley's wand and pointed it at the three of us.
     " Now, everyone will know what happened here, " he warned, "How we were too late to save the girls and that the three of you lost your minds at the sight of their mangled bodies."
     He turned to Potter beside me and said, " I believe  I will start with you Mr. Potter. Obliviate. "
     But before I thought, for Rebecca, I jumped in front Potter and was hit with a blast of an explosion.
     I hit my head on a rock and I felt the sharp pain. My ears were ringing and I heard Potter yell, "Ron, are you ok?"
     " Yeah, except Malfoy's out and Lockhart doesn't have a memory. "
     And I blanked out.

     I have no idea what is happening. Malfoy just protected me and my sister is possibly dead along with Ron's.
     I've been scared for Rebecca for a while. She hasn't even been around Malfoy as often. She and Ginny even tried to tell me and Ron something but left all of a sudden.
     I used parseltongue to get in the chamber. I looked around and Tom Riddle was standing over my sister and Ginny.
    I ran as fast as I could to them and tried to feel a pulse.
     I cried, "Please be alive. Please be alive."
     "They are alive but only just," said Tom.
     "We have to get them out of here. There is a basilisk and it's coming."
      " It won't come until it's called, " he responded. 
      Tom picked up my wand and flicked it around his fingers.
     I stood up and said, "Tom, give me my wand."
     "You won't be needing it," he replied, "Anyways, you see as Ginny gets weaker, I get more powerful."
     "Let them go," I yelled.
      "You see, it would be quite counterproductive to let them go after listening to the thoughts of an 11 year old."
     " Why are you doing this? "
      He confidently replied, "Not only am I fulfilling my great ancestors wish but I personally am gaining."
     " What? "
      "That's right," he started, " Ginny and your sister opened the chamber of secrets and petrified all of the muggleborns. "
     "Why?" I yelled.
      " Because, I told them to. You can find I am very persuasive. "
     "Except you are too late. Madam Pomfrey is almost done curing the muggleborns."
      " But, killing muggleborns isn't what interests me anymore. How is it that a baby with no special powers could kill the greatest sorcerer ever. "
     He continued, "I thought your sister should have been killed as well but she is much better used with me."
      "What are you going to do to my sister?" I yelled.
      " You see, your sister has extraordinary powers and is someone I believe that could help me continue my path to power. For that reason, she will join me. She may be powerful but with her lack of knowledge she will eventually have she has no idea how to keep me out of her mind. She will make a fine queen once I finish the process. "
     "You aren't going to finish it. And you aren't the greatest sorcerer in the world. Albus Dumbledore is."
     " Dumbledore was drawn out of this castle by the mere memory of me. "
     "Dumbedore will always be here as long as those who are loyal remain loyal to him."
     We continued to fight until he let out the basilisk.
~after the fight~
Harry PoV
     I finished off the basilisk but my arm which had venom in it was throbbing to the point I dropped to my knees.
     "Its amazing how fast the venom penetrates the body. I will be ruling alongside Rebecca and you will be dead."
     I picked up the basilisk fang that stabbed into my arm and stabbed the book and killed the journal.
     I looked to my side as Ginny and my sister shot up but Rebecca was rocking back and forth with her eyes bloodshot.
     Ginny turned to me, "Harry we did it. We didn't mean to I swear. Oh, your hurt."
     I responded, " Grab Rebecca, find Ron and Malfoy and go. I can't make it. "
     Dumbledore's phoenix came to me and dropped a year in my wound and healed it though.
     Rebecca was shaking. I looked to her and said, "Rebecca, what happened?"
     " I kissed him, " she said, "I thought I was in love with him and didn't know different."
     I hugged her as I walked to the caved in section.
     Ron moved the rocks and we walked through. I looked over and saw Malfoy lying on the ground.
     I asked Ron, "Has he not woken up?"
     " Well, he woke up once but I knocked him out along with Lockhart. "
     I asked him again, "Why did you knock him out?"
     " Honestly, he saved you but he doesn't know who he is and I scared him and he was throwing rocks at me. "
      "Rebecca was forced by young you know who and she kissed him. "
     "Something makes me think that this will just make everything harder for her and all of us."
     " Yeah, " I said just as Fawkes brought us up.
