Thanks to all who reviewed. Just a few points to bring to my readers attention:

Voldemort was OOC in the last chapter on purpose! I purposely made him OOC because I think he is a complex character. On the outside he is a feared Dark Lord who will stop at nothing short of World Domination. But he also loves his family dearly. Dumbledore tried to take them away and forced him to kill his own Wife and tried to get him to kill his only son, something that would have annihilated what little bit of sanity he had left at the time.

However; he has had 11 years whilst bodiless to plan and change his ideas a bit that is why he acted like he did when he met Xavier. Think about it, if you had lost the chance to see your only son grow up and the next time you see him is 11 years later, you'd be a bit emotional too! Don't worry Voldemort fans; he will be back to his original self very soon!

The Xavier Riddle Series

Year Two

Chapter Four:

Discoveries

Lord Voldemort stormed into the dining area to meet Narcissa and Lucius for a meeting, he threw the diary onto the table in front of them both, making them jump.

"LUCUIS I SHOULD KILL YOU!" He roared in anger, Lucius dropped to his knees, head bowed in submission to his Lord.

"My Lord, please have mercy I did not realise what the diary was-" he began to explain

"LUCIUS YOU OF ALL SHOULD KNOW THAT I DO NOT SHOW MERCY! CRUCIO!" Voldemort exploded in rage. Lucius screamed instantly from the pain, it had been many years since he had felt the Crucio this potent and it hurt like hell! Voldemort cancelled the spell after a few minutes, he was pissed at Lucius yes, but he didn't want him insane. He grabbed Lucius by the hair, Lucius yelled in agony as he was lifted by his hair to look in his Lords red serpentine eyes.

"You better find a way around this Lucius, if the Chamber is opened and Hogwarts closes I will hold you solely responsible do I make myself clear?" He hissed angrily.

He dropped Lucius onto the floor with a forceful smack, watching as blood smeared onto the marble floor from his nose. He turned and stalked out of the room. Lucius stayed there for a few minutes until he heard a door slam somewhere else in the Manor, Narcissa helped him up and fixed his nose with a wave of her wand

"Don't. Say.a.word" He glared at her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, back at Hogwarts; Xavier and the Slytherin's were trying to figure out who it was that had opened the Chamber in the first place, as no one but Xavier was Slytherin's heir. Ginny suddenly jumped up from her chair

"Ive got it!" she said

"Got what?" Xavier whipped round

"Its possession!" She told him "Whoever opened the Chamber is being possessed! Think about it, there are no other Slytherin Heirs at the school, so it has to be possession by means of the diary, but now the diary is gone from the school the possession should be cancelled out!"

"But we know for a fact that the diary is useless" said Draco "Tom said as much"

"Has anyone seen anyone acting odd though?" said Neville "I mean, anything strange?"

"That Ravenclaw girl… Lovegood seems not exactly all here," Dudely pointed out

"Nah," Ginny shook her head "too obvious a choice. I think its somebody we wouldn't think… like one of the Gryffindors."

"Any particular ones in mind?"

"No, but I'll check my year tomorrow, we have Potions first thing"

"We've Herbology with the Gryffs second," said Neville "We can always check our lot then…"

"Good idea, we best try to figure this one out as soon as possible and as quietly as possible," said Xavier "the last thing we want is Dumbledore sticking his nose into things yet again" he sneered.

Petunia was settling down to a nice evening in front of the Wizarding Wireless when the fireplace flashed green and Dumbledore's head came through

"Ah Petunia…may I come through? I need to talk to you?" He asked with a twinkle in his eye, Petunia inwardly scowled, she hated this man with every fibre of her being. On the outside, she smiled pleasantly at the headmaster

"Of course Dumbledore" She said, "You may come through"

"Thank you" Dumbledore's head disappeared for a few moments and the fire flashed green and came through the fireplace.

Petunia looked at him expectantly as Dumbledore sat down and made himself at home.

"What is it Dumbledore?" She asked politely "Surely you have business up at the school to be dealing with? Dudely has told me there are some disturbing events occurring that you can't seem to stop?"

"That is what im here about Petunia" Dumbledore turned grave "I am here to talk to you again about your nephew"

"Why? Surely you don't think Xavier is-" She looked horrified

"I am not sure what to believe" He cut her off curtly "Xavier has no doubt picked up some of his fathers…attributes"

"What's that supposed to mean?" She snapped a little "Xavier has always been a polite reserved young man to those who respect him, the boy lost his parents at the age of one Dumbledore! Surely that is going to affect him!"

"Petunia you know as well as I that Voldemort is not really gone"

"Oh? Explain to me the thesis" She said, nettled "When we took him in your letter explained everything, Voldemort had been destroyed and the boy needed a home, and what better to give him to me, the last of his mothers family" She crossed her arms "next your going to accuse me of being a Death Eater aren't you?" she scoffed, Dumbledore glared at her

"Such accusations shouldn't be taken lightly Petunia. I know he was well taken with Lily, im sure you've met him many times" Dumbledore needled

"And your implying im a Death Eater" She laughed at him "You're a real card Dumbledore, you know that?" She chuckled nastily "I don't believe for one moment that Xavier is doing whatever it is at Hogwarts, I suggest you go back there and try to find out the real perpetrator before someone is killed" She snarled

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the victim count on the rise, Students were nervous about staying the castle. The teachers were at a loss as what to do about it. Gilderoy Lockhart was strutting around the castle in his usual pompous manner. Xavier and the Slytherin's were on the lookout for anything suspicious concerning their year mates but they were coming up empty handed.

Lucius had made a visit to the school due to the attacks increasing with Minister Fudge one afternoon when the Slytherin's were sat outside near Hagrid's hut. The half-giant of a man exchanged words with Lucius and Fudge before shouting

"I DIDN' DO ANYTHIN TO NO-ONE! YOU CAN' TAKE ME TO AZKABAN PRISON!" he roared at the minister "DUMBLEDORE'LL TELL YA I DID NOTHING!"

The boys watched in triumph, as he was lead away, the grounds keeper wasn't a favourite with the Slytherin's, he was too far up Dumbledore's arse to be neutral or to have any ideas of his own, plus there was the fact he had been expelled from Hogwarts sometime in his third year. Dudely heard him say to Ron as he passed

"If anyone wants to find out some stuff… all they would have to do would be to follow the spiders… that'll lead them right"

Dudely nudged his cousin

"We need to follow the spiders if we're going to have a hope in hell of figuring this out" He said to him, Xavier raised an eyebrow

"Are you insane?" said Ginny "they live in the Forest"

"So?" said Dudely

"We would get mauled by beasts and stuff in there; its FORBIDDEN for a reason" She elbowed him in the side

"Maybe we will, maybe we wont, but we need to find out and we need to go in there" said Xavier

"Fine fine, when do we go?" She sighed, resigned to the notion of going into the Forest.

"In an hour or so" said Draco "that way the teachers wont get suspicious if we disappear for an hour or so"

"Good idea" Xavier nodded "Lets go back to the common room and put our books and things there, its useless carrying them with us when we're going in there, who knows what we'll run into."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An hour or so later; the Slytherin's snuck out into the now dark grounds of the school, narrowly avoiding Filch on his nightly rounds, without Mrs. Norris to prowl for him, the caretaker was very grumpy indeed.

They padded briskly across the grass and towards Hagrid's hut

"I still think we should have told Snape," said Neville

"There's no time Nev, we need to find out and find out fast" said Draco

"I know but still, he is a teacher and he will know more spells than we do" Dudely agreed, Xavier silenced them with a glare

"We follow the trail into the forest and find out what we need to know, then we get back and speak to Snape. End of discussion" He growled.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After an hour or following the masses of spiders. They came to a dome-like web

"Acromantula's" Ginny told the boys, Dudely turned white at the mention of the gigantic spiders, as he had a strong dislike for the creatures.

"Who is there?" a booming voice made them jump "Hagrid? Is that you?" the voice asked again. Xavier stood forward

"My name is Xavier Salazar Riddle, Hagrid has been arrested in connection of the attacks at the school, he said to follow the spiders and we would find out what's going on," he said

A rumbling began suddenly; two large forelegs appeared from inside the dome. Dudely shrank backwards behind Ginny as the gargantuan spider came out of the dome-like web. Its eyes were milky white, which told the group that the Acromantula was blind.

" Mister Riddle? Your name sounds familiar to me. My name is Aragog. Arrested you say?" Aragog asked, "What attacks? We Acromantula's do not meddle with the affairs of the school, but if students are coming into our hollow seeking information then we can only help"

"People have been petrified, The Chamber of Secrets has been opened again," said Ginny "they think its Hagrid like before"

"That's a lie!" said Aragog "Hagrid never opened the Chamber, he couldn't"

"We know that" said Xavier "he's not the heir of Slytherin, I am, but im not the one doing it, its something to do with a diary of my fathers but its too late, by the time we got the diary whatever was in it was gone"

"I wouldn't be sure it is," said Aragog "The girl who died, died in a bathroom on the fifth floor. You may find your answers there"

"Thank you Aragog" Dudely squeaked

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xavier, Dudely, Draco, Neville and Ginny were heading towards the common room after talking with Aragog when Xavier heard the voice again

They all must die…kill…they all must die…

"There it was again" He grabbed Dudely "didn't you hear it?"

"Hear what?" Dudely turned round

"That voice!" He said, "Don't you hear it?"

"I think we need to see Snape" Dudely told him "last time you heard the voice, Creevey was attacked"

"Yeah I know" He frowned "Hang on…. that coloured lad from Gryffindor wasn't in class today was he?"

"Don't think so," said Draco "What you getting at?" he asked, McGonagall's magically amplified voice rang out through the school, cutting him off replying

"All students to return to their dormitories immediately, all teachers to the third floor corridor."

Without a seconds thought, the Slytherin's ran through a shortcut and onto the third floor, coming out around the corridor from the teachers

"…. With Albus suspended, the students have no chance," said Flitwick "this is the end for Hogwarts"

"There's still time yet Fillius" said McGonagall "but like the message says, someone has been taken into the chamber… his skeleton will lie in the Chamber forever.."

"Whose been taken Minerva?" asked Snape"

"Dean Thomas" She replied stoically.
