Chapter 32: Reveal

The ghost girl smiled at us as she soared through the bathroom.

"Reaaalyyy?? You're here to talk to me? Well," she said as she suddently went down and plastered a dramatic look on her face. "it was a tragic day.."

We listened as she told us the story of the snake that killed her, and the boy whose name she didn't remember. The school was close to getting closed that year.

"And you really don't remember his name?"

"Well, no. But if somebody told me, then maybe I could remember. But…I also remember one more thing. He was carying a little black book. I didn't get a good look at it."

"It's ok, I think I know what youre talking about. Thank you very much for giving up your time for us, Myrtle."

"Oh, what are you trying to say? That I didn't have any plans? Well, you better know that I am very busy…" and she sat on a window, starting to cry.

As we left, the boys started:

"Merlin, that girl…"

"…is far too sensitive."

"Well, if she died like that, maybe she has reasons. Just let her cry. We have a diary to get our hands on. Before Ginny gets hurt. "

Next day, everybody was talking about the Chamber of Secrets, and Hermione was asking each and every teacher about it. Putting the stories together, we were able to find some sort of a path: in the Chamber there was the monster of Slytherin, ready to kill all the muggleborns in the school when the Heir came. And it seemed like, it came to the school. So teachers were walking students to classes, and Lockhart started a duelling club. But it didn't end up very well. Draco duelled with Harry and couldn't hold himself back so he sent a snake his way. It went to a Hufflepuff instead of him, so I and Harry started talking in Parseltongue to stop him. But Harry didn't have much of a chance to talk before I caught the viper's attention and made it dissapear with a spell.

Next day, rumours started that either Harry or I were the Heir of Slytherin. The majority though said it was Harry because only a few heard me talking to the snake and I was a muggleborn, so I couldn't be the Heir of the pureblood obsessed wizard. Fred and George on the other side, were having fun walking in front of us like guards.

"Beware, the Heir of Slytherin is…"

"…coming. Make way, possible future petrified victims. "

Their jokes were fun, of course, but the other kids were also gossiping about us and Dumbledore even called for me one day.

"Of course you know that people talk, especially teenagers with no other job to do than make up silly stories. But tell me the truth. Do you or Harry have anything to do with the Chamber of Secrets? "

"No, we don't, and before you ask, we don't know either who might be behind all of this." He tried to look into my mind, but but all he met were cold steel grey eyes and I knew that.

As I left to go back to the Potions class, on a hall I met an interesting sight that was just about to become terrifying. Justin Finch-Fletchey, the Hufflepuff that the snake went to at the duelling club was speeding to God knows what class he was late for and he collided with Nearly-Headless Nick that was just floating in the middle, contemplating something. The ghost stopped as the boy shivered at the cold feeling of going through a ghost and stepped back and said.

"You know boy, its not comfortable for us either, it tickles."

But before Justin could answer, Ginny appeared at the end of the hallway, diary in her red covered hands, head flinching to the left every now and then. She had a cold, empty gaze and seemed strangled as she opened her mouth and started talking in Parseltongue.

"Come, my dear, two more victims for you today. Its a new treat, a ghost, never seen what would happen with them…"

As she ended, a giant snake came behind her. "Of courssse massster." And stared at the two in front of him. The boy fell on the ground, petrified, and the ghost was no more see through. I quickly ran away before any of them could see me and arrived in the dungeons.

"Care to join us, Miss Povans?" Sev asked sarcastically before he saw my terrfied face and he let me find my seat.

"What happened? Where were you? Are you ok?"

"Calm down, Draco, Im fine, just saw two more petrified victims on the third floor. The teachers are going to find out soon enough too. But I have to take care of the matter as soon as possible. Before anyone dies like last time."

The rest of the hour passed quickly and we all found the two petrified bodies after that. They took them away.

As days passed, the security measures were becoming stricter and stricter. But that didn't stop me from being alone that time, in the middle of the night. I was going back to the common room after finishing the homework in my tower when she appeared again. Empty gaze, pale face, flinching head. I was ready for the worst when I saw the long tail of the snake. But when it caught my sight…nothing. I didn't understand. It killed people and petrified lots, but nothing happened to me. Whoever was controlling Ginny was thinking the same.

"What? What is this? Do it again. Kill her!"

But I didn't want to try my luck again. I ran as fast as I could till I was in my bed in the dorm room.

But I couldn't sleep, thinking of what happened. As far as I knew, there was no explanation to this. Maybe the answer to why I escaped was somehow related to what was hiding in the memories that the teachers erased. One more reason to find that out. But before that, maybe I should try and get that diary away from Ginny before anyone died for good this time.

A/N: Sooo, before you start saying anything about her becoming a Mary Sue because of the immunity to the gaze of the Basilisk, I have to tell you it is related to the secret, you'll find out what I'm talking about when she does. :)) Aaanyway, thanks a lot for the support and I hope you liked the chapter.
