Chapter 2 – The Chamber Portal
Harry slowly traversed the many corridors and stairways of Hogwarts making his way back to the Gryff's common room.
"So I see you didn't mention me to Dumbledore. Are you even going to tell your friends about me?" Spoke a voice in Harry's head.
"What's the point? They don't need to know. Besides its just one more advantage I have. You know what Dumbledore is like. More than likely he will try to invade my mind to find out if I'm not telling him some things. With you enhancing my barrier he won't be able to. You also know what Hermione is like. If I told her that I hadn't told old Albus something she probably would. " Harry thought back.
"Well I guess your right…. I wonder if anyone will figure it out by themselves."
"Well if they do I will send them a cookie."
"Strange child."
"Anyway be quiet for a bit I'm trying to think."
"Don't hurt yourself."
"Shut up…"
Soon Harry reached his common room and spoke the password. (Which strangely enough was eight digits of pi… well on the plus side no Slytherin would ever guess it.)
As soon as he entered the entire room went silent.
"Damn it this is getting annoying" Harry thought to himself.
"Blame yourself. If it wasn't for your overly dramatic entrance they wouldn't be acting like this"
"But that was you idea!!"
"Exactly"
"If you were alive I would kill you." Harry thought back then spoke out loud "Oh please don't stop your conversations just because I enter the room." The room remained silent.
"Well I see my awesomeness has you all speechless. If you find your brains and want to talk to me I'll be in my dorm. And with that Harry left the room.
"Okay people he's gone, you may return to what ever pointless activity you were doing before. Thank you for your co-operation!" yelled a red headed boy.
"Brilliant job by the way. I didn't see even one of you move!" Yelled another who looked exactly like him."
"That's because I froze them all Forge." Said Gred
"Ah. Better unfreeze them then Gred." Said Forge.
"I did."
"Ah."
"Why aren't they moving then?"
"I don't know but I think if I hadn't frozen them the same thing would've happened."
"Well there is one way to test this."
"How?"
"Like this!" And Gred let a firework (that he had cunningly hidden in his pants) off making all the occupants of the room drop to the floor and cover their heads.
"Nice work bro. I think you scared them back to reality. Uh oh what are they doing now?" All the students were converging as one on the door to Harry's dorm.
"Hmm, fancy playing bouncer for a while George?"
"Sure sounds like fun!" Fred and George barged there way to Harry's door and blocked it.

A few hours later.

"So Meddy, what's our current objective?" Asked Harry, lying on his now heavily modified bed.
"Well first up you might want to create a permanent portal to the Chaos Realm somewhere in this castle."
"Eh? Why?"
"Easy travel to the Mansion of Madness…"
"Oh right…. So, any suggestions?"
"Yeah, good try Harry. I'm not here to do everything or you, this one you can figure out by yourself… not very hard to do."
"Okay, something like the room of requirements? I doubt anybody would walk past the door three times saying 'I need a portal to the Chaos Realm' each time."
"A sound idea, but not the best. Try again. Think of somewhere secretive"
"Oh right, The Chamber of Secrets."
"My God he actually got it. I'm genuinely surprised."
"Shut up."
"Geez Harry, I haven't even said anything yet", Said a voice, making Harry jump from his bed onto the wall beside it, landing spiderman style and quickly taking stock of his surroundings.
"Oh! Hey, Ron. Sorry about that, I wasn't talking to you."
"But there isn't anyone else in here…"
"Ahh, I was talking to myself."
"Right… Anyway what've you been up to man, you had us all worried"
"Training man, lots of training. Oh hey, wanna join my army?"
"Army? What for?"
"Fighting the DE's of course. You seem pretty good at strategy so you could be my general."
"Sweet, though if you really are serious about taking the fight to them, I'm going to need a smidgen of training too."
"Yeah no problems there, I'm planning to train everyone who joins."
"Who you planning on asking?"
"Herms, Ginny, The Twins, Neville, Luna, Daphne Greengrass and Blaize Zabini, along with you, will be the leaders. Though for the Slytherins I'll wait until we actually start to get a reputation before asking them to join."
"Fair enough."
"What no complaints?"
"About the Slytherins? Nah, if they're good enough for you, then they're good enough for me."
################################################################
"Open" Harry commanded the tiny snake engraving in Myrtle's bathroom, opening the tunnel into the Chamber of Secrets. The tunnel was still covered in slime and grime.
"Yuck, I am not going to slide down that again."
"What are you thinking?"
" Wings ON, is what I'm thinking!" Harry said and his wings sprouted out of his shoulder blades.
"Oh God…" And without further ado, Harry dived into the tunnel and extended his wings, using them to control his direction as he flew downwards at a breakneck speed.
At the bottom Harry hid his wings and continued on foot. Inside the main chamber the only remnants of his near-death experience a few years prior was the honking big basilisk skeleton curled at the base of the statue of Salazar Sytherin.
"Hrm, this place needs some sprucing up, care to give me control for a short while?"
"Meh, why not."
A few hours later Harry regained control of his body and looked around. The first thing he noticed was that the entire chamber was a lot cleaner, then he saw the skeleton now hanging from the ceiling in a lunging pose, the statue had been switched to Medivh's face, which surprisingly didn't make much of a difference.
"Cool. My turn."
Harry pulled his staff out of his back pocket and started to chant, then stopped.
"Actually before I begin, I feel like modifying this staff a little."
"Geez are you ever going to settle for a single design on that thing? Seems its gone through about seven different forms so far."
"Okay after this on ill leave it as is for a while." Then Harry spoke a Word of Power, making his teeth ache a little from the energy. The Head of the Staff slowly melted, the Phoenix moving upwards while the snake grew bigger. Once it solidified he took a look at it. It now had a basilisk head coming from the top of the staff with ruby eyes and the phoenix sitting on the snake king's head covering its eyes with its talons.
"Ooo I like that one. Really symbolises the relationship between dark and light inside of you."
"Yeah that's why I picked it. Anyway, back to work." Harry swung his staff in an arc and let loose a few more Words of Power. The room through Medivh's mouth transformed itself into a control room with five plasma screens hooked up to a few working computers and a large round table with insanely comfortable seats. Once that job was completed he walked up to the mouth, took a glance inside, nodded then stepped back four paces.
"Next up, the portal!"
"Oh good you remembered, I thought you might have forgotten."
"Yeah, whatever. Now lets see… The rune of Ark for Dimension travel, Zax for Madness, Erl for Strength and Det for Power. Two to specify a portal and where to, one to make it permanent and one to empower the other three in a cycle flow. Sound about right?"
"Yep that should do it. Also replace my statue's eyes with power gems and link them to the rune plate."
"Ah, good idea." Once the runes were placed, Harry switched the eyes to two ruberald power gems. And linked them to the runes. Two lines of blue fire ran from the eyes to the runes glowing on the floor just in front of the mouth. With that done Harry spoke the activation word and a blue portal appeared exactly four paces ahead of him, in the mouth of the statue. A few seconds later a pedestal shot out of the rune plate. The pedestal had a hand imprint in it.
"Eh? What's that for?"
"It's a muggle handprint reader. Just making sure only I can activate the portal. And I didn't want to have to bend down to touch the rune plate every time I wanted it activated.
"Ah okay, fair enough." Harry then placed his hand in the reader and the portal blinked out of existence.
"Hey wait, reopen it, I want to try something."
"Okay" Harry placed his hand in the reader again and the portal appeared again.
"Now what?" He asked.
"Go through it" And he did.

Harry found himself standing next to the front doors of the Mansion of Madness.
"Well here we are. What did you want to do?"
"Oh my GOD, its good to have a body again!" Said a voice from behind him.
"GAH! Oh wait its just you. Wait, you made me come all the way over here just so you could walk around again?"
"Well that and I thought it would be cool if you brought some of the weapons from the mansion back to the Chamber. Training your friends to use them could be beneficial."
"Ah, good idea." After levitating a few weapon racks through the portal Medivh went through and Harry followed.
################################################################
"YES!! I STILL HAVE MY BODY!!!" Screamed Medivh when they appeared in the Chamber.
"Wow, what the hell? how did that happen?
"Probably had something to do with the means of transport. The first time I teleported you back to Earth using both of our powers, which combined our consciousness or something. This time it was your portal that did the job so I got to keep my body."
"Well this is going to be hard to explain to the Headmaster."
"Don't worry, I'll just kick it down here or go DE hunting. I believe our mental link is still there, so I will still be in your head as well."
"Won't that get confusing for you?"
"Haha, don't sweat it, I'm just that awesome.
################################################################
Over the next few days Harry approached his other friends to ask them to join his army. Ginny and The Twins agreed to take an oath without a moment's hesitation whereas Hermione needed a bit of convincing. Neville and Luna both agreed after a short conversation.
Once they had all taken their oaths Harry lead them to the entrance to the Chamber, opened it and pushed them all down the tube. Once they were all sliding down he extended his wings and launched himself after them. Just before he cleared the end of the pipe he hid his wings and spun himself into a landing pose.
Ron, Hermione and the others had just cleared the landing zone when Harry came smashing to a sudden stop that blew dust up all around them. The girls screamed thinking he was hurt but he just stood up, dusted himself off and started walking, motioning for them to follow. At the entrance to the main chamber he noticed Ginny was shaking slightly.
"Gin, don't be scared. You know I destroyed all remnants of Riddle, he can't hurt you. You probably won't even recognise the Chamber now. I did some renovating."
Ginny just nodded and smiled. Harry turned to the door.
"Open" He whispered to the door and it slowly swung open.

AND FINALLY… CHAPTER 2 COMPLETE. NOW YOU'VE ONLY GOT TO WAIT ANOTHER THREE YEARS FOR CHAPTER 3!!!
