Chapter 8: The Heir Revealed

When word got to the Board of Governors that there was a dead basilisk on school grounds. Things got a bit tense.

After all they tried to deny it.

But now there was hard proof that there was a basilisk in the school

Considering all of the things they tried to hide… this was really bad.

Many of them were lamenting the fact they chose to pretend nothing was going on.

Others were upset about they put the children in danger.

However one seemed to be angry, Lucius Malfoy, the father of Draco.

"It doesn't matter the damage was done." Said Lucius during the meeting.

He appeared to be angry about something, as if he was upset he couldn't do something.

"Come off it Malfoy we know you had an hand in it!" yelled another.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Said Lucius.

"You were planning on suspending Dumbledore before it was reported that they had killed the monster." Said one of the other governor's.

"I had no such plans!" yelled Lucius.

The other governors started at him… and they knew they had to bring something up.

"Your son…" said yet another.

"What?" asked Lucius.

"Your son would have been a target." He repeated.

"He wouldn't have." Said Lucius, "He's a pure blood."

Everyone else looked at him like he was crazy.

And many of them were considering that maybe he was.

Including some that were considering writing to his wife.

In Hogwarts Mabel was miserable and worried about her brother… while Ron and Harry were of course worried about Hermoine.

Though the fact that the monster was dead eased all of the concerns, while the heir was still at large…

Also the good news was that Ernie did apologize for being a huge jerk, having realized that it couldn't be Harry as not only was his best friend a victim but another very close friend.

So that made things easier over the course of the next few weeks.

Thanks to the monster being dead the Ministry felt like no action had to be taken which was a very good thing for Hagrid being the one framed for it last time.

And so after a few weeks, Pro. Dumbledore had some great news.

"I have a special announcement to make." Said Pro. Dumbledore.

"They found out who the real heir is!" yelled someone.

"You'll let us keep the chickens so that people who was to LARP can do it." Said another.

"Quidditch back on!" yelled Wood.

"No…" sighed Pro. McGonagall, "It's not that Wood…"

Pro. Dumbledore chuckled at that though.

"Those that have petrified will be given the potion." said Pro. Dumbledore.

"WHOOOOO!" cheered Mabel happy about her brother getting cured.

Several of the other students laughed at her reaction.

"Yes…" laughed Pro. Dumbledore, "Now to those who have been petrified I expect you to help them all."

At the Gryffindor table, Mabel laughed.

"Dipper and Hermoine will probably freak out because they missed studying time." Laughed Mabel.

"That's going to be a pain." Bemoaned Ron.

"Well they are huge nerds!" laughed Mabel.

That was when Ginny approached them.

"Hey Ginny." Said Ron.

Gunny nodded, looking very pale.

"You okay?" asked Harry.

Ginny took a breath.

"There's something I have to tell you." Said Ginny.

That was when Percy showed up.

He said something as he grabbed breakfast, however Ginny just walked away when he did so.

"Percy she was about to tell us something important!" said Ron.

"Oh… she was… I'm sure it wasn't that important…" said Percy who began to blush.

Mabel began to stare at him.

"What?" asked Percy.

"I'm sending gossip." Said Mabel.

"Are you even allowed to be at the table?" asked Percy.

"You're a prefect and you don't even know the rules?" asked Mabel, "Unless it's one of the big feasts like the opening, closing and Halloween we're allowed to be at other tables."

Percy was going to ask why she knows that but then remembered that she had a twin brother she was close to so it made sense that she would go to his table and vice versa.

"But seriously… I'm sensing some gossip!" said Mabel getting the conversation back on track.

"I have to go over there…" Percy realizing that he should avoid the hyperactive Hufflepuff.

"You don't think Ginny was going to tell us something important?" asked Harry.

"Who knows." Said Mabel.

"Yeah…" said Ron.

Meanwhile Ginny was shaking…

She knew something was going to happen, some very bad was going to happen…

That was when she felt it… and the growing darkness.

And the thing consuming her… something

The morning classes when normal. And soon enough it was time for lunch… the entire were happily eating or chatting.

That was when the teachers were all talking about something.

"Will the head girl and the head boy please come up?" called out Pro. McGonagall.

The two did so deeply confused a Pro. McGonagall told them something was going on.

All of the teachers left… the two seemed to be on edge.

"What do you think is going on?" asked Ron.

"I don't know… maybe the Heir left a threatening message." Said Mabel.

Once all of the teachers were gone, Ginny who seemed to be like a different person stood.

She smirked and walked over to the two head students.

"Miss Weasley do you need anything?" asked the Head Girl.

"Stupefy!" she called out… however it wasn't her voice, but a mix of her voice and someone else's… a boy's.

Both the Head Boy and the Head Girl were knocked out shocking all of the students in the room.

"What the!" yelled one of the students.

"She's a first year!" yelled a random.

"Did you hear her voice something is going on!" said another.

That was when Ginny pointed her wand at the doors of the Great Hall and performed a spell that not only shit the door but seemed to barricade them.

"Who are you?" asked a 7th year Ravenclaw girl taking charge of the situation.

"Oh so you noticed signs of possession." Said Ginny in the weird duel voice.

"Yes…" said the 7th year Ravenclaw Girl.

"Ginny!" called out Percy.

"She's your sister isn't she?" asked the 7th year Ravenclaw.

Percy nodded as he joined by his brothers.

"Her name is Ginny?" asked the 7th year Ravenclaw, "We all want to talk to her…"

"What?" asked Ron.

"It's how you deal with possession." Said the Ravenclaw Girl.

"Sorry… but you're too late for that… she's almost gone." Said the possessed Ginny as she took out a book.

A book that Ron, Harry and Mabel recognized.

"The diary!" said Harry.

Indeed it was the diary.

"What do you mean she's almost gone?" asked Percy.

The possessed Ginny smiled and that was suddenly she was like a puppet that had there strings cut.

Then the dairy began to glow and Harry recognized the figure that appeared at Tom, the one who wrote the diary.

Everyone in the great hall began to freak out. Especially since Tom picked up Ginny's wand and went through her pockets. They saw what he had gotten appeared to be fangs.

Percy recognized them as did all of the Prefects, the Prefects were told to keep an eye out for the missing basilisk fangs.

"Who are you!" yelled Percy.

"Why I'm the Heir of Slytherin." Said Tom with an evil smile.

Everyone in the great hall seemed to shiver at the this fact… after all none of them thought that the heir would be something possessing a first year…

And what they didn't know was that things were going to get worse in the Great Hall…

Especially with the bombshells that thing… as best as Tom could be described was going to drop…

Bombshells that would ensure that nothing would ever be the same for many of the students…

Especially those in Slytherin.

Next Time: Tom reveals who he is, what his goals are and while not outright says it that's clearly insane... but with the whole school hostage and the teachers unable to come in will anyone be able to make it out alive? Find out next time!
