Lily Luna Potter carefully looked around the first corner from the Gryffindor Common room. If anyone knew what she was doing, they would stop her. After all, the Chamber of Secrets was out of bounds, very dangerous, and if she was caught, she would lose heaps of points, and get detention, which would really make her Undesirable Gryffindor No.1. It would also probably make Gryffindor lose the house cup, too come to think of it.
But, Lily was game to risk it, because, she would bring out her inner Slytherin, which had been wanting to freely frolic for so long. The Sorting Hat did consider Slytherin for Lily, but in the end, it decided Gryffindor.
Lily did used to use her inner Slytherin a lot more, but she stopped using it when Scorpius Malfoy died. Scorpius had been an amazing person. He had always been there for her, always understood everything. He was great. It was an amazing day when Albus had introduced her to his best friend, Scorpius. Lily thought as a couple of tears fell from her eyes, 'He was the only one who had ever understood me. And now, he's gone. Even dear Albus, he tries, but he doesn't truly understand me.'
Lily cheered up as she passed another prefect; she was almost there! Moaning Myrtle's bathroom was just around the corner.
But, as Lily went around the next corner, she had to quickly jump behind a suit of armor, because her brother, Albus, the Head Boy, was coming the other way. As he went passed, Lily sighed in relief; he hadn't seen her! Then Lily looked onwards. She quickly looked around, before dashing towards the door, which led to the bathroom. When she had finally closed the bathroom door, she sighed in relief! She had finally made it! Then she heard a voice she assumed belonged to Myrtle ask, "Who's there?"
"Err, I'm Lily, and I'm just visiting!" said Lily quickly.
Myrtle poked her head out of her cubicle, and asked, "Are you Harry Potter's child?"
"Yes!" said Lily.
Myrtle said, "Okay, feel free to stay as long as you want. Just to warn you, one of those female prefects of Slytherin, sometimes comes in here."
"Is that Jacky Zabini? My brother did mention she likes to check all the Bathrooms," asked Lily.
Myrtle shrugged, then said, "No idea."
"Well, nice chatting to you, Myrtle, but I gotta go!" said Lily.
Myrtle nodded, then said, "Do come back, it gets a little lonely in here."
Lily nodded, and said, "I'd like that"
Then she looked at the hand basins. The second one she looked at had a snake on the tap! Lily muttered, "Well, time to used my Parseltongue for the second time in my life. sOpens."
Myrtle said, nodding, as the entrance to the Chamber of secrets revealed itself, "Harry was a Parselmouth, so it makes sense it passed on to you."
"Strictly speaking, no one knows I can talk to snakes, and I'd like to keep it that way. What do you say, Myrtle? Our secret?" asked Lily hopefully. Maybe, just maybe, Myrtle would understand. Maybe, she could help her move on from Scorpius.
Myrtle smiled, then said, "Sounds great."
Lily smiled, and then slid down the hole into the chamber. When she landed, she realised she had landed on a pile of bones. "Yuck!" Lily said to herself as she got up, but she pressed on.
Finally, she reached a door with green snakes on it. Lily whispered open again in Parseltongue to make it open. Lily gasped as she saw the chamber. it was beautiful! And at the opposite end to her, there was a skeleton, and a statue of who Lily suspected was Salazar Slytherin, but, it was only his head. As Lily walked down, she was feeling a sense of fear, but she didn't know why.
When Lily reached the Skeleton, she saw it was a huge snake! 'It must have been the Basilisk,' thought Lily.
Then she heard a male voice behind her say, "What is a child like you doing down here?"
Lily span around, to see the owner of that voice. He was tall, and it looked like he had dark hair. Lily said, "I am fifteen, Mr Ghost! I'm hardly a child!"
"I am over sixty, so you're still a child to me," said the Spirit.
Lily thought, then asked jokingly, "Wait, you're Voldemort!?"
"How very observant and clever of you," commented Voldemort dryly.
Lily was shocked. Her guess, slash joke was actually right. Lily said when she got out of her stupor, "You don't look very much like what the History books describe you as, nor what my father said you looked like."
Voldemort looked at Lily for a moment, then asked, "You're Potter's child, aren't you?"
"Yep! One of three!" said Lily.
Voldemort said, "To answer your earlier question, this is what I looked like as Tom Riddle, I changed when I became Voldemort."
"Okay, cool, Mr. Voldemort! Though you don't seem like an Evil Dark Lord to me," said Lily.
Voldemort said, in a voice which said this is obvious, "Well, there is a limit to how 'Dark Lord like' a spirit can be."
"Oh, I guess. I'm Lily, by the way! And before you ask, I was named after my grandmother," said Lily.
Voldemort said rolling his eyes, "I wasn't going to ask, but alright."
"Oh come on! Lighten up! It can't be that bad!" said Lily.
Voldemort said glaring at her, "You have no idea how boring being a spirit is, especially when your only company is a too curious fifteen-year-old girl."
"Well, surely, I must be better than no company!" challenged Lily.
Voldemort admitted begrudgingly, "I guess."
"You're funny, Mr Voldemort. I better go, or I'll end up a zombie! I'll see you some other time!" said Lily excitedly.
Voldemort said, "I'll be here, unfortunately. whether I like it or not, I'm not going anywhere."
Lily nodded, then went back to the Gryffindor Tower. Lily returned there every Friday and Saturday night, after that. Even though she was talking to Voldemort, she found him fascinating, and Myrtle enjoyed her coming in all the time. Though, Lily knew if anyone would to find out what she was up to, they would probably ban her from every going down there again, and going anywhere alone, too. Lily didn't want that. She enjoyed her Moonlit Adventures, thank you very much. But, she was safe from being discovered: she was the Slytherin of Gryffindor, and Slytherins, never, ever, got caught, or at least that's what Scorpius Malfoy used to say.
As Lily reached her last year at Hogwarts, she couldn't help but feel sad. At the end of the year, there would be no Moonlit Adventures to see Myrtle and Mr. Voldemort, who had become her closest friends. But, Lily just shook her head, and put that thought out of her mind. She still had a whole year left! And Professor McGonagall had offered her the place of Transfiguration Professor, since she was great at that subject, and the current teacher, Professor Windfair, wanted to do something else.
When the end of year did finally roll by, Lily decided she would take the transfiguration spot. she would get to see her two nonliving friends, the only people other than Scorpius who truly understood her, whenever she wanted basically. She also thought teaching sounded like fun, and a great learning curve.
