This is the last short chapter as everything else after this chapter will be made up with up to 5,000. Well, everything except for the Prisoner of Azkaban arc but will still have some different plot points.

Do you like how I mixed things up a bit with this battle rather than following the canon and having Harry not be bitten until about to wake Ginny up? Give it a bit more suspense if you want to say that if you know the outcome.

Please follow and review the chapters please I would appreciate it greatly.

Make sure to tell your friends about this to make them interested if they'd like to read it. Thank you for reading and now let's get into.

Must say that I think the fight between Harry and the Basilisk may be even shorter than the movie. Just to let you all know.

Let's go...

Harry Potter

The Journey to Hogwarts

The Chamber of Secrets arc

ON THE LAST CHAPTER OF HARRY POTTER THE JOURNEY TO HOGWARTS: Having entered the Chamber of Secrets, all by himself, Harry, being ready for anything ran down the long pathway to Ginny, only to meet Tom Riddle as a talking companion instead. However, dread washed over him as the thing that had been petrifying the students in the castle was unleashed onto Harry. With only an estimated 50 minutes left to live, Harry makes an attempt to subdue this creature once and for all. Will he succeed? Stay Tuned…

Chapter 4: Serpentine.

The Sword of Gryffindor

Harry ran, only for the beast to trip him causing the boy who lived to break a rib on the hard wet floor. An eerie sound reminisced across the chambers thick walls, through Tom's ears which made him enjoy the sound.

Harry stumbled up before the beast nipped his leg causing him to fall down once again, "This is the end Potter. The Basilisk has you, now, goodbye forever."

At that moment the world stopped until he heard the call of a bird. Looking up with pure delight, the red feathered bird that he had no recognized from Dumbledore's office returned to attack the beast.

Fawkes had returned to save Harry Potter from an untimely death. As Fawkes attacked the beast Harry watched the motions of the attack from the shadows playing on the ceiling of the chamber, though eyesight was becoming a problem. The venom was nearly 49 minutes away from his brain.

Tom gritted his teeth in anger at seeing what the filthy bird was doing.

"NOOOOO. NO NO NO NOOO DAMN IT. Blast it all. Your bird may have blinded the beast… But it can still hear you, Potter." Warned Riddle keeping a close on his reaction which was on point with shock.

As Harry stumbled upward which eventually turned to a run, Harry made the water he ran over splash to loudly, big mistake.

Thinking fast, for no reason, Harry went down the exact same pipe-like hallway a second time hoping the beast couldn't harm him, seeing as it couldn't see the boy.

Unfortunately, Harry stood breathless as the Basilisk turned the corner into where he was at, terrified with fear, backing against the bars, the boy though everything for him was done for until he saw a rock next to his feet.

Throwing that rock down the hall caused the snake to shift its route to another part of the chamber, hissing silently as it moved through the catacombs. Without any more hesitation, Harry ran out back into the main chamber up to Riddle and Ginny.

"Lucky git." He heard. Looking into the hat a gleaming object could be made out and as he went to grab it the Basilisk shot out of the small pond of water in front of it before going towards Harry, just on pure instinct and smell.

Taking the object out of the hat not only was it heavy, just light enough to hold up, it was a sword. Riddle shitted himself mentally, "That sword…"

Seeing that the sword left Riddle speechless and scared left Harry with one conclusion, "This sword can destroy the Basilisk." With a heavy swing a huge gash opened up on the snout of the beast causing it to roar in pain as he was about to clamp down onto Harry, the sword was pushed up through its mouth through its head.

Unfortunately, one of the fangs punctured Harry's skin unleashing even MORE venom into his bloodstream having Tom laugh madly, "Pathetic Potter. Now you can't be saved as the poison has doubled the speed now."

Striding back over to the center, Harry dropped to his knees, a fang gripped in his tight grip with his right hand, "I pity you, Potter. Only a little. You were very heroic until the end. The time is nearly upon us Potter. Ginny will be dead in mere moments. Followed by you 7 minutes from now." Grinned the wicked Slytherin, "Though conquering the beast was heroic, still, your life was snatched by it. It was all for nothing i'm afraid." Ginny's body began to get colder, worrying Harry a great deal.

Riddle circled the two, studying movements, curiously mocking Harry to see what reaction he would have. Harry tilted his head looking up at his newfound enemy, "You are wrong Tom. It was for something and I am saving my friends sisters life." Said the confident boy who lived.

Looking at the diary clutched under Ginny's arms, Harry reached for it, "DON'T YOU DARE YOU SNIVELING WEASEL." Shot Tom reaching for Harry. Taking the diary from her possession when seeing that he was about to be attacked Harry stabbed the fang into the diary, which spewed out ink as blood.

A golden light appeared out of the vision as it began rapidly disintegrating, "POTTER…" Again, stabbing the book began to have even more everlasting effects on Tom before vanishing for good. Harry silently cursed under his breath as this fight was harder, Quirrell last year seemed like a cake walk.

After second Ginny's eyes snapped open, memories of the events coming back to her of what she has been doing and fear of expulsion. With her breathing erratic, Harry touched her shoulder, an action where the girl almost jumped out of her skin until seeing who it was.

That kind smile, glasses, and scar were all that needed to be known for her to see that this was a friend of hers. One who is also her knight in black robes.

"Ginny…" Harry said in pain, "You… Need to… Get… To safety. Don't worry about me." Looking down little Ginny gasped coming to a conclusion this was why all this was said.

Ginny's eyes widened, "Harry… You are hurt…" Her voice sounded anguished in hopes of holding back any sadness in her heart of losing the boy she loved. Harry turned from his arm to her, "Ginny… Don't worry about me…" He breathed, "Follow the chamber… Ehhkkk… And you'll… Ahh… Find Ron." Harry struggled to hold on the pain was unbearable.

Ginny, mentally putting all this sorrow in the back of her head, burst into tears not being able to contain it anymore. Sitting on the floor the young girl stayed next to Harry, crying on her robes.

"Ginny... Just go… Please." His voice was filled with sadness and pain. Ginny turned to face him letting out all her cries in out go, one of fear of losing this sweet boy, and two for being possessed by Tom Riddle's soul, "AND ALLOW YOU TO DIE ALONE? NO WAY…" Yelled the feisty girl scaring her companion for a split second.

Risking affection Ginny hugged the dying fellow tight, "I won't leave you, I'd rather die with you than be without you." Did she just say that? Were Harry's fears of her not liking him dashed away by this? Why, yes.

5 minutes away, Ginny held his hand tightly, "I'm going to miss you…" She said with a small blush.

Harry was cut off from what he was about to say from a loud, gentle bird call from the end of the chamber as Fawkes had returned, however, this time bearing nothing in its talons. Harry smiled, "You were brilliant Fawkes. Thanks for blinding it, but I can it was all for nothing now…" The bird looked from his face to his arm and lowered its eye directly above it beginning to drop tears onto the wound.

Looking down at it's continuing work, both Ginny and Harry gasped at the process of that is wound actually was healing.

Ginny formed a twitchy smile, "That's right… Phenix's have healing powers." Explained the 2nd year boy, which Ginny hugged him again for, "Thank goodness. Come on let's go, best friend." Harry was surprised by this, yet acted like it was nothing before walking down the chamber cautiously hoping no more of Tom Riddle popped up.

On the way out the door sealed behind them leaving behind the death Basilisk. As Harry began to walk back towards the others, a scream made the boy turn to see that Ginny had accidentally stepped into the pool of water only to be dragged in, sat up and wrapped in vines from chest to her legs not able to move.

Harry attempted to save her, only for himself to get dragged in with her. They screamed for some kind of help, luckily, Angel, still trapped behind rocks could hear their screams.

"HELP US…" It when then a plant rose out of the water spewing blue-like mist out of his suction cups before attaching to Harry's face suffocating the poor lad.

Ginny was horrified having to watch Harry dying before her very eyes, once again, "HARRY NO… SOMEONE HELP US…"

Minutes later a heroic voice filled the cave, "HERE I COME GUYS. HOLD ON."
