The Battle is over. Hogwarts is destroyed and Harry Potter is dead. Hermione discovers, while taking refuge in the library, Tom Riddle's lost diary. Hermione is taken back to Tom's last year at Hogwarts where the Triwizard Tournament is taking place and with the surplus of suspects now in the castle, the Heir of Slytherin has decided to open the Chamber of Secrets again. Muggle-born students are dying, but the games continue. Having lost everything, Hermione has nothing to lose in her battle to save Hogwarts once more, except herself. What Hermione didn't count on was a life debt between her and the the one person she wanted dead.
I lost my brother.
He died to protect those he loved.
I lost my lover.
He loved another.
I lost my friends.
Many died while others were stuck in the depths of despair.
I owed my life to the person that ruined my life.
And I wanted him dead.
The Chamber of Secrets was opened.
No one was safe from him.
My name is Hermione Granger and it probably would have been better if I had died.
