Harry stared up at the Basilisk and was going to panic but thought 'I wonder if the snake even knows that it is listening to a memory? Wait maybe if I tell it that it will listen to me instead. 'Harry quickly shouted in Parseltongue, "[Hey listen that guy your listening to is nothing but a memory stored in that diary there! If you don't believe me then try to touch him! ]" The Basilisk stopped and turned to look at Tom and moved until they were face to face. Then the Basilisk stuck out its tongue right through Toms Basilisk hissed out,"[Fake! Imposter!]" The Basilisk turned to Harry and hissed,"[Speaker what do you want?]" Harry stood there dumbfounded that it worked but stammered,"[The diary bite it!]" The Basilisk while confused moved down and bit down on the diary causing Tom to shout,"No!",and to explode in a column of light.
Harry exhaled loudly in relief before turning to the Basilisk and bowing,"[Thank you for your help umm whats your name?]" Harry asked sheepishly. The Basilisk while surprised was happy,"[My name Speaker is you like to examine Salazars quarters?]"Harry perked up thinking, 'A chance to see the private rooms of one of the founders. Cool !' Harry nods his head and watches Seraphina slide back in the mouth of the statue. Harry walked over but stopped before looking towards Ginnys unconcious body before pointing his wand and using a spell no one knew he could use. "{Stupefy!}" Harry then turns towards the opening before shrugging and started climbing in. As Harry climbed through the tunnel all he could think was, 'MAN is this place dirty and smelly how does Seraphina put up with it?'
Harry crawls through the tunnel sees the exit and slows. Harry reaches the exit and notices a problem, 'That isn't the floor.' Harry looks down and sees the floor about 8 feet down. Harry turns around and drops down before looking around and was amazed at what he saw. Salazars quarters were huge, there was bookcases filled with books all over and a giant ladder which could move so you could reach different spots around the room and in a room off to the side there was a potion making area set up with cauldrons with liquid bubbling. Behind the little lab there was a wall of shelves filled with jars of potion ingredients. Harry walked forward to another area that had a desk with books on it. Harry kept going until he reached the end of the room which had a door off to the side and a fireplace with several chairs in front of it and a painting above the fireplace. Harrry looked around some more noticing the snake and serpent style of the furniture and objects. Seraphina hissed loudly getting Harrys attention he looked around for her before seeing her come out of another tunnel near the fireplace and she hissed out, "[Speaker look to the painting to speak to my Master.]" Harry looked at the painting with curiousity. The figure in the painting shifted showing a tall thin man in black,grey and silver elegant but traditional clothes. He has a thin gaunt face with high cheekbones and intense green eyes. Black hair with graying temples and a gray streak over his left eye. The man in the painting spoke in Parseltongue, "[Seraphina what is a Gryffindor doing in my Chamber AND my private quarters.]" Seraphina bowed her head,"[Sorry Master but he is a Speaker.]"Salazar intrigued looks at Harry and speaks, "So young Gryffindor how did you end up here?" Harry answers quickly, "I am here because Tom Riddle aka Voldemort controlled another student and made her open the Chamber and order Seraphina to attack some students."
Salazar Slytherin stared down at the boy before turning to Seraphina,"[Would this have anything to do with what happened 50 years ago?]" Seraphina nodded. Salazar sighs,"So once again Seraphina was used to hurt the very students she was told to protect." Salazar then turns back to Harry,"What I am most curious about though is how a Parseltongue ended up in Gryffindor. Tell me boy what is your name?" "My name is Harry Potter. " Harry says. Salazar scowls, "A Potter? Any Blacks in your family? Any Gaunts?" Harry looks down sadly, "I don't really know anything about my family other than my parents names." Salazar frowns before speaking, "Thats not right you should know your family line." Harry looks up, "I was raised by my moms muggle sister and her husband since my parents were killed by Voldemort when I was a baby. " Salazar frowns, "My condolences now call for my personal house elf his name is Jarvis. Call him." Harry yells out, "Jarvis! "A regal looking house elf appears in nice looking robes,"Yes Master? Wait you are not my master? " Salazar spoke up, "Jarvis will you head to Grimmauld Place and check the family tree for any Blacks marrying a Potter? " Jarvis nods and apparates away. Salazar looks at Harry, " If Jarvis finds that a Black married a Potter then there is a possibility that you are my heir. In order to find out if it you are once you go home for the year you will call Jarvis he will take you to Gringotts where you will ask for an inheritance test to determine what families you are related to."Jarvis returned and looked up at Salazar, "Dorea Black married Charlus Potter. Master what are your orders? " Salazar smiled, "So there is a chance we just need to confirm it. Jarvis when young Harry here gets to his Aunts home he will call for you. You will answer and take him to Diagon Alley and make sure he enters Gringotts. Now continue your duties until then." Jarvis nods before apparating away. Salazar looks at me before speaking, "I still wonder how you became a Gryffindor. " Harry smirks, "The hat wanted to put me in Slytherin but I asked him to put me in Gryffindor. "Salazar laughs,"A snake hidden among lions. Hah if only Godric was here he would be so jealous. " Harry smiles before looking around,"Umm is there another entrance cause I don't want to have to go in the girls bathroom slide down a tunnel then crawl through your statues mouth. " Salazar points to his desk, "There is a map of the school on the desk with 4 entrances shown 2 for Seraphina and 2 for my use and now you. The password for each will be revealed when you say in Parseltongue to the map, Reveal the key the passwords will be written in Parseltongue. You will be able to read it. Take it and go keep it on your person at all times."Harry nods before taking it and turning to the tunnel and grimacing as he walked up to it he yelled back, "Can you have Jarvis clean the tunnel cause it is filthy in there! "Harry crawled in thinking, 'My life is going to change after this.'
