I'm not Joanne Rowling, so I don't own Harry Potter, or anything related to it. Well... sort of ;) (His sisters)


"Look, whoever you are, let me get my shoe, and I'll leave. Seriously, the key's in there. I'm not going to tell anyone, and you can do whatever you want. Just leave me and Ginny out of this."

"Shut up, Potter. With you and the blood traitor, this is a whole lot easier."

"What's the point in me shutting up? It's not like we're gonna come across anyone who's going to stop you!"

"Yeah, well maybe I don't want you to know!"

We walked for a while longer, my heart pounding every step of the way.

After another few doors that Ginny commanded to open, she eventually led me down to the bottom of a hallway, full of statues of snakes, leading on to a large chamber or room or... whatever you would like to call it. Right in front of us was a statue of the head of some random guy. It was so familiar, but, again, I couldn't picture where I had seen it before. I thought it best not to say anything, though, considering how mad the Ginny imposter was getting with me. It was covered in a layer of water, and in some places, it was completely covered in puddles. It also led on to some pipes, which I guessed lead on to different parts of the chamber or the school.

All of a sudden, when I wasn't expecting it, Ginny collapsed on to the floor, in a neat heap, with the book under her right arm. At first, I was half tempted not to wake her up, but Ginny was still my friend, so I would do all I could to help her.

I took my other hand, and tried to shake her awake, but it was to no avail. Ginny was out cold. Well, at least I now had the perfect opportunity to get the key out, specially seeing as I was on the floor.

I had taken off my shoe, and was about to get the key from underneath the insole, when a cold hand grabbed my arm, and pulled it behind my back.

"What do you think you are doing?" his voiced hissed. So it was a young man... hang on, how did he get down here?

"I... um... freeing myself... now, I'd really appreciate it if you would let go of my arm... please."

"Oh, I'll let your arm go, alright."

True to his word, he let my arm go. However, not before he had taken my shoe out of my hand.

"Can I have my shoe back?"

I didn't turn my head to ask him. I was too scared about what was going to happen to me to worry about anything like that.

"No, Potter." He sneered. "But, I will get you removed from this... blood traitor..."

He grabbed Ginny's handcuffed arm, and released it, using the key he had just removed from the insole of my shoe.

"I'll be going, then... if it's okay with you..." I said, getting up and backing away, after finally seeing his face. It scared me, even more than when I had a nightmare about Voldemort, but why? Why would this guy scare me more than Voldemort... what possible reason could he, this school boy have for scaring me? Yet, all the same, this guy, and this place, were both so eerily familiar, my skin began to crawl.

"Oh, I think not, Potter." He stormed over to me, and dragged me, by my still handcuffed left wrist, to a nearby pipe, and snapped the other handcuff over it.

"Why do you want to keep me here? And Ginny? We haven't done anything! This is illegal!"

"Do you think I care about the law, Potter? Oh yes, I know all about you."

"How? I mean... I'm just the average, anonymous Hogwarts kid..."

"You really think that that stupid girl dying over there would never divulge information about her friends in a diary? You must be stupider than you look!"

"I'm not stupid! I skipped a year!"

"Where did you lose it? I'm sure you can get your filthy Mudblood friend to help you out there! Oh wait, you can't! She's petrified, and together, you're dumber than a doornail!"

"Don't say that about Hermione, she's my best friend!"

He scoffed. "See, you're even stupid enough not to notice that I said your little friend here was dying!"

"I... how... there... there... what did you do to her you monster?" I was almost crying at this point, and trying to get over to Ginny, knowing full well that I wouldn't be able to. He was evil, provoking me like that, and I'm sure he did that on purpose. But, I had every right to be distressed; he was keeping me there against my will, and killing the first friend I made after I became a wizard, excluding Hagrid and Kitty, of course. Whoever this guy was, I really didn't like him. I was tempted to grab my wand and cast a spell on him, but I didn't want to risk him stealing it and having another thing to use against me.

He laughed. "You really don't know who I am, do you?" He asked.

I shook my head.

"I was given the name Tom Riddle at birth. But I have a different name, too. What do you think it is?" He asked.

It all suddenly clicked, and it terrified me. I was stuck, handcuffed to a pipe, in the same room as my worst fear, my worst nightmare. It's no wonder that I had felt so scared. But the second I realised this, my heart began beating faster than I believed was humanely possible. Then again, didn't it have every right to do that?

I cowered in fear. I really didn't want him to know that I had my wand now. He would definitely use it against me. If Voldemort knew about me, then my whole life was at risk, and if he knew about my visions... it might get even worse. I felt like my worst nightmare was coming true.

"Voldemort..."

"I thought that I would get a reaction like that; little Miss 5 month-nightmare Potter."

"I... I was... I was in a coma, sir, I... the... sorry... I... sorry..."

"Funny how just my presence can strike so much fear in your heart, isn't it? Especially seeing as you've never met me before? Good job you didn't bring that filthy little cat in here, I'd have killed it immediately!"

I was tempted to shout at him, for being mean to my precious cat, but I didn't. I didn't want anything else bad to happen.

I really hoped that Harry had gotten my message. I mean, I can't say that I wanted to be a damsel in distress, but I really needed the help. I didn't fully remember the nightmare I had about the Chamber of Secrets, but at this point, I remembered that I had had one, and I knew that it was beyond relevant, and could unfurl in front of my own two eyes.

"Are you still curious as to how and why the blood traitor is dying?" He paused. "Well, I'm sucking the life out of her. You see, as poor Ginny Weasley grows weaker, and fades to nothingness, I grow stronger."

"Then... then why am I here?"

"Partly your choice, partly so the famous Harry Potter will come and fight my snake. That's all you need to know."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This wasn't my choice! Anything but...

"Here comes your precious older brother now!"

I turned, and saw Harry running down the chamber, crying out "Ginny, Rory!"

Immediately after I heard that, I shouted "Harry, stop, it's a trap!" but it was already too late to stop him.


IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE! PLEASE READ!

Hi guys :) I'm on a roll here :) Just review :) I know there's only a few chapters left till I take a short break and then write Time Turned Troubles (No entries, so I don't have any other choice but to name it that, unless someone enters by the time I post the last chapter.)

Oh, and due to lack of reviews, the one shot has been cancelled completely. Unless, you do some serious reviewing before I empty my recycling bin. Oh, and I'm serious about this!

As you may have been able to tell, my stories are more based upon the movies, mainly because I don't have the time to keep reading the books over and over, due to other commitments, i.e school, and if I want to base something on the book, I use the wikia.

I had to replace my POA dvd today :( RIP POA DVD mark 1. Obviously I needed it. Otherwise, TTT is not going to work very well.

Right, I need your opinion on something, which will really affect things later on. Right,

1. When should Chris start dating this guy who she thinks is perfect for her?

a. Summer Holidays/End of Term(in secret) (I totally think this is too young, but it's up to you.)

b. During Time Turned Troubles (secret or not)

c. Near the end of POA year (Public with relationship)

the Summer after TTT (Either)

e. During GOF (Either)

f. Summer after GOF (Either)

g. Other

2. When should Rory start dating her guy? (She'd probably be public with her relationship)

a. Near the end of TTT

b. Summer after TTT

c. During GOF

d. Yule Ball

e. Summer after GOF

f. Between starting 5th Year and DA

g. Whilst in the DA

h. Other

Please show me your opinions in reviews. I'd make a Poll, but I prefer to hear your choices, and this way you can say why.

Plus, I really want reviews.

So, review whilst I work oh so hard making the next chapter of N&SS for you :) Please

Kaisha :)

Wow, that was a long Authors note!
