I'm gonna hop right to it. I didn't do a dedication thing last time because I had two dedications to make up. But I'm going to ask a question... Let me think of it.... hmmmmmmm...... I GOT IT! It's from a book series I recently read called Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. READ IT IF YOU HAVEN'T. really, do it. (Second Chance, where the author tells you to read other books instead of my fanfic XD)
What is the name of the organisation Evie works for?
Answer: IPCA
--Harry was staring down the Basilisk. Of course, he was actually staring at it, since the Basilisk was blinded by Fawkes. Otherwise, Harry would've been petrified by now. He held the sword of Gryffindor in both hands, knowing his wand would be nearly pointless against the snake. He tried to lure it away from where it was coiling between his friends and wife. He wasn't exactly sure how he beat the Basilisk last time, it was all a blur, even now. He just knew he needed to get it away from everyone else. Even now, as he was fighting the basilisk, he wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing. His instinct had taken over and he fell back into the all too familiar feeling of fighting for survival.
Meanwhile, Luna took the initiative as Hermione and Ron worked on making their way to Ginny. Luna began to look for anything that could possibly have made this situation happen, she knew that all of his Horcruxes that Voldemort created at this point had been destroyed. At least, they that's what they thought. She thought back to the stories Harry had told her when she was helping him with his survivor's guilt after the war. Luna ducked behind a pillar just as the Basilisk snapped its tail where she had been standing. That's it! She knew exactly why Tom Riddle was here. The only possible explanation was that the Basilisk had been a Horcrux, and when Harry had stabbed it with the sword in his second year, he had introduced the snake to its own venom, killing it.
She dove again as the snake's tail reduced the pillar she had been standing behind to rubble. It made sense, not only did it explain why there were effects of a Horcrux over the school, but it also explained why Ginny became so susceptible so quickly the first time. Not only had she written in the diary, but she had been used as a communication device between the snake and Riddle, putting her under the influence of two Horcruxes at the same time. One had been bad enough, but it also explained why Ginny had lost life force so quickly when Riddle decided it was time to make his appearance, while this time she still had strength. She filed this theory (which she was almost sure was correct) to a side area of her brain and focused on getting out of range of the snake's enormous tail. She waited for the tail to swing again and went around it, running as fast as she could towards the far end of the Chamber. Unfortunately, the tail swung back too quickly and she got caught in the leg with the end of it. The force sent her flying across the wet floor. She hit the floor and fell unconscious, but away from the snake's reach.
Hermione ran towards Luna, pulling her closer to their group. In her haste, she failed to see that Luna's wand had fallen out of her sock, leaving it to Tom Riddle for the taking. Ron turned just as Riddle picked up the wand and aimed it towards Hermione.
"Hermione! DUCK!" Ron shouted, and Hermione immediately dropped to the ground as a spell shot over her head. Ron's shout attracted the attention of the Basilisk, who turned her massive head, giving Harry the opening he needed. He jumped onto the Basilisks lowered head, out of reach of her fangs, and stabbed her between her eyes. As the poison seeped into the Basilisk's mouth, her head hit the ground and she died as the poison made it's way down her throat. A scream sounded through the air as the last thing tying Voldemort's soul to the school vanished. Harry, who was battered but hadn't been pierced by the snake's fangs, this time, looked around confused.
"Did I miss something? What happened to Riddle?"
"I'm not sure. He just disappeared." Hermione said, shaking her head. She was obviously still shaken, but mostly unharmed.
