Chapter 14

Last Time:

Last week, Alex overheard Harry and Ron telling Hermione about Aragon and repeating what Hagrid told them and that Hagrid is in Azkaban because they think Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets like he did 50 years ago.

But Alex knows the truth. Hagrid never did 50 years ago, that was Tom Riddle. And he didn't now, because Ginny opened it by being possessed by the Diary of Tom Riddle. So basically, it's Tom Riddle for the now as well.

Alex stares at the bookcase and sighs.

"Mythical Monsters of Hogwarts and Forbidden Forest" Alex whispers the title to herself. She looks at the books and then at the top shelf. And there it is, "Accio Mythical Monsters of Hogwarts and Forbidden Forest book" the book flies into Alex's hands and she immediately opens it. She sits down at the table and begins her search of the page.

At 6:30am, Alex finds the page. It took her twenty minutes to find the book and an hour and ten minutes to find the page. She writes down 'pipes' on the page and rips it out. She levitates the book back into place, folds the page and slips it into her pocket. She re-grabs her bag and runs out the library and to the courtyard, where she gets to wait an hour and half before breakfast.

Now:

8am arrives, and Alex walks into the Great Hall. She sees Hermione, Ron and Harry sitting at the table already eating.

She rushes over to them and sits down next to Hermione and Ron and Harry are sitting across from them. She pulls out the page and slips it into Hermione's hand under the table as she grabs her toast and covers it with Cheese Wiz. She takes a bite before pouring a bowl of Cheerios.

"What..." Hermione starts before unfolding it. She reads it, her eyes growing wide. Hermione turns to Alex and they lock eyes, "how did you get this? I've been looking for this since before Christmas break"

"It was in Mythical Monsters of Hogwarts and Forbidden Forest. I ripped it out of the book and wrote down of its traveling around. I can see the monster's next move. I'm Parseltongue so I can understand it. That is why you didn't see me this morning. I woke up after having the same nightmare for around a week and a half. The monster's next target was you. You were going to get this page. I don't want you to get attacked, so I did it for you" Alex tells her. Ron's and Harry's eyes grow surprised, hearing this. Hermione pulls the younger girl into a hug.

"I'm glad you are around Ally. But you would have gotten into SO much trouble"

"Well I didn't. Now let's focus on school. And I cannot believe I just said that. But you have nothing to worry about. The entrance is in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. You have to speak Parseltongue to get in. We just have to figure out how to kill it. I don't even know"

Alex begins to eat her cereal, not caring on how her friends looked at her, all thinking the same way.

How exactly can Alex SEE the monster's next move?

~A&H~

Alex walks into Snape's office after class on April 30th.

"You'd like to see me dad?" Alex asks as Snape sits on his chair.

"When are you, Ron, Harry and Hermione going into the Chamber of Secrets?" Snape asks.

"This coming month. We are still trying to figure out how to kill the snake. Tom Riddle is controlling it and is the Heir of Slytherin. He possesses Ginny Weasley with the diary that Lucius Malfoy slipped into her cauldron in Diagon Alley. If Tom Riddle is down in the chamber, like I think he is, how can we kill him if he's just a memory from the diary?"

"Well, I could ask Dumbledore to slip the Sword of Gryffindor into the hat, and either, you, Harry, Ron or Hermione can pull the sword out. But only a true Gryffindor can" Alex stares at Snape thinking.

"I think that could work. But how do we know that will work?"

"We can only hope" Alex nods accepting the answer, "then as for killing Tom Riddle, maybe try stabbing it with something?"

"You mean if we kill the snake, then we can use a fang from the snake and stab the diary?"

"Exactly" Alex smiles and nods.

"I think that can work. Thank you dad" Alex gets up and gives Snape a hug before running out of the office to pass on the plan to Hermione, Ron and Harry.

Snape locks his office behind him and heads up to Dumbledore's to tell him the plan as well. Dumbledore agrees with Snape and slips the sword into the hat ready for the mission to begin.

~H&A~

"All students report to your common rooms! All teachers report to the 5th floor corridor" McGonagall announces over the PA system in the school. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Alex and Justin are sitting in the library. Alex looks up to see her best friends and brother looking at her. It is May 17th, a week before the school 'closes'.

"Let's go" Alex whispers and all of them run out of the library and to the 5th floor.

Once there, they hide behind the wall, and only Alex looks around, to see Snape and Dumbledore wink at her. She winks back, telling them it is time.

"A student was taken into the chamber by the monster" McGonagall informs the teachers, "Albus, the school is not safe anymore. We will have to close it down" Dumbledore nods.

"Severus and I have it all planned out. I will need you to keep all students in their common rooms. But there will be 5 students missing. They will be with us" Dumbledore answers.

"Which ones?"

"Ms. Alex Russo-Snape, Mr. Justin Russo-Snape, Ms. Hermione Granger, Mr. Ronald Weasley and Mr. Harry Potter"

"They're just kids Albus"

"I know that. But we need them. We have it all planned out and it's ready to go"

"Sorry about that. I must have dosed off. What's going on?" Lockhart asks walking over to them.

"A student was taken into the chamber by the monster" Snape answers.

"Who?"

"Ginny Weasley" Alex looks over at Ron to see his eyes wide. Alex takes his hand and squeezes it.

"We will get her Ron" Alex whispers, "she will be safe" Ron looks at Alex.

"How do you know?"

"When we go down there, two of us will stay with her" Ron nods and pulls Alex into a hug.

"You're the best Ally"

They hear teachers leave, and Alex looks around the corner to see Snape, Dumbledore and Lockhart.

"Come on out" Dumbledore tells Alex. The five of them walks over and Alex looks at the wall.

Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever

"Ginny" Ron whispers reading it.

"We WILL save her Ron. I told you that" Alex reminds Ron. Ron nods as he bites his lip.

"Ok you guys. Lockhart will join us. Alex you lead the way" Dumbledore tells Alex. Alex smiles and they all make their way to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.

Next chapter maybe the last of Chamber of Secrets, but I will be continuing to Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix and either that will be the end or Half-Blood Prince will be the end, or even Deathly Hallows. I will not decide until Order of the Phoenix. Or, until I have had enough of this story. And yes, I will add summertime... hopefully.

Please review.

Oh, and yesterday (March 17th) was my surgery on my broken foot. It went good, but I am in A LOT of pain. In 2 weeks, I go back to get the stitches out and get a new cast. 2 weeks after that, I go back for a check up and either get another cast or I will be back in my air walking cast. Then 2 weeks after that, maybe another check up to see how it's healing. But I will not be back at school much before May 7th.

But what will that do? Would there even be a point to go back since school will end around a month or so after May?

But ya, the surgery went good, I freaked at the doctor about that stupid needle, laughed at the surgeons who were trying to distract me, by singing and dancing to Love Story by Taylor Swift, which was playing on the radio, and yup. Very weird, but amusing. Oh, and they put me to sleep at 8:50am, and I awoke at 10am. Then we left the hospital at 11am and got home at 12:30pm.

I am NOT allowed to walk or use crutches so I get to spin on the spinning/rolling chair for the next 2-4 weeks. And I have to sleep on the hideaway bed since I am not able to go upstairs to my bedroom. But that will last around 2 weeks or so. I just want it to end, so I can have my bed back and to play my Wii again!

Oh, and my birthday is coming up! my birthday is April 3rd. :D
