The Girl Who Lived, Loved And Lost.

2~11

"That was close!" Ron says as they ran back to the bathroom.

"Too close if you ask me" Delilah agreed with Ron remembering how Draco kissed her.

"Don't worry we'll beat him up later" Harry said while Ron nodded in agreement. They walked towards the stall Hermione was in "Hermione come out we've got loads to tell you!"

"Go away" She cried out as Moaning Myrtle came out of her stall laughing.

"Ha wait till you see. It's awful" Myrtle told the three.

"Hermione a-are you okay?" Harry asked while opening the door.

"Do you remember me telling you that the Polyjuice Potion was only for human transformation? It was cat's hair I plucked off Millicent Bulstrode robes. Look at my face" She turned around and Hermione looked a mix between a human and a cat.

"Look at your tail," Ron said.

"Have you spoke to Hermione?" Ron asked Harry and Delilah.

"She should be out of the hospital in a few days when she stops coughing up hairballs" Harrys says as they stepped into a puddle of water.

"Yuck," Ron cried.

"Looks like Moaning Myrtle's flooded the bathroom," Delilah told the two boys as they ran into the girls bathroom. Myrtle was crying in the middle of the bathroom.

"Come to throw something else at me?" She asked.

"Why would I throw something at you?" Delilah asked her.

"Don't ask me! Here I am minding my own business and someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me" Myrtle cried.

"But it can't hurt if someone throws something at you. I mean it'll just go right through you" Ron said.

"Sure!" Myrtle flew towards Ron "Lets all throw books at Myrtle because she can't feel it! Ten points if you get through her stomach! Fifty points if it goes through her head!"

"But who threw it at you?" Harry asked her.

"I don't know, I didn't see them. I was just sitting here thinking about death and it fell through the top of my head" She flew off.

Delilah picked the diary off the floor. "Well I guess they got fifty points," She said giggling at her joke. Ron laughed along with the girl but Harry just shook his head.

"Lilah not the time. Anyway, what does the diary say? Who does it belong to?" Harry asked.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle" Delilah told him.

—————————————————————

Delilah walked back to the common room. Ron went to bed while Harry and Delilah stayed up to look at the diary. Delilah picked up a quill with ink at the end of it and moved to write on the pages. As she was moving a spot of ink fell off her quill and hit the page but the ink just disappeared.

"Woah" She spoke out the words that she was writing "Out names are Delilah and Harry Potter" The ink seeps in and words appear before their eyes.

Hello, Delilah and Harry Potter my name is Tom Riddle.

Harry took the quill of Delilah and wrote in the diary "Do you know anything about the Chamber of secrets?" He wrote.

Yes.

"Can you tell us?" Harry asked.

No.

Delilah sighed deeply before looking back at the diary.

But I can show you. Let me take you both back fifty years ago... 13th June.

The book flipped to the middle and a bright light shines through. When Delilah opened her eyes she saw that she was in Hogwarts. But fifty years ago. Harry and Delilah saw a young man dressed in robes at the edge of the stairs.

"Excuse me. Could you tell us what's going on?" Harry asked but got no response. "Are you Tom Riddle?" Harry asked again only to be ignored. A few teachers walked by carrying a gurney with a body on it covered by a sheet.

"Riddle come" They heard a voice from the top of the stairs.

"Professor Dumbledore," Tom says.

"Dumbledore?" Delilah questioned as they followed them both up the stairs.

"It's not wise to be wandering around this late hour, Tom" Dumbledore told him.

"Yes, Professor. I had to see for myself if the rumours were true" Tom told him.

"I'm afraid they are Tom. They are true" Dumbledore said in a saddened voice.

"About the school as well? I don't have a home to go to. They wouldn't really close Hogwarts would they Professor?" Tom asked.

"He's an orphan like us Delilah," Harry said. Delilah just shushed him as Dumbledore began to speak again.

"I understand Tom, but I'm afraid Headmaster Dippet may have no choice"

"Sir if it all stopped... If the person responsible was caught-" Tom started to speak

Dumbledore cut Tom off "Is there something you wish to tell me?"

"No sir. Nothing" Tom responded.

"Very well then. Off you go" Dumbledore told him.

"Goodnight sir" Tom walks off and Harry and Delilah follow him. He stopped outside a door and then barged in on a wizard. "Evening Hagrid. I'm going to have to turn you in, Hagrid. I don't think you meant it to kill anyone, but-"

"You can't! You don't understand" Hagrid cut in.

Delilah gasped when she heard the name and turned to her brother "That's not our Hagrid is it?"

"I think it is" He responded.

"The dead girl's parents will be here tomorrow. The least Hogwarts can do is make sure the thing that killed their daughter is slaughtered" Tom told Hagrid.

"It wasn't him. Aragog never killed no one! Never!" Hagrid cried.

"Monsters don't make good pets Hagrid. Now stand aside" Tom told the man.

"No" Hagrid shouted

"Stan aside Hagrid!" Tom shouted back.

"No!" Hagrid repeated.

"Cistem aperio" Tom waved his wand and opened the chest that Hagrid had on the floor. A large spider crawled out of it and ran out of the room. Hagrid tried to run after it but Tom stopped him. "I can't let you go. They'll have your wand for this Hagrid. You'll be expelled" Harry and Delilah called out to Hagrid as they were brought out of the memory. They landed back in the common room. Both Harry and Delilah were speechless about what they just saw.
