He had been searching for so long, completely obsessed with finding out everything about his magical ancestors.
And when he finally realised who he was, how amazingly important he was, it had just given him so much more to research.
He, the one and only true heir of Slytherin, was to rid the school of the scum that had been allowed to besmirched it.
When he found out where the myth-enshrouded Chamber of Secrets was located and how to enter it at last, he could not have been more ecstatic.
The night he had chosen to finally enter the Chamber was appropriately dramatic, the howling of the storm almost making up for the fact that he had to sneak into a girls' lavatory.
Brushing the dust of Slytherin's emblem on his Prefect's badge, he took a deep breath and hissed his command to the last barrier keeping him from his heritage.
The door slid open and the Chamber lay before him.
He stared, wide-eyed, frozen in awe.
"Wow,"he breathed, setting foot where noone had stood since Slytherin himself.
He mentally cursed himself for not coming up with something more meaningful when faced with the work of the great Salazar Slytherin.
