ps: this picks up after harry hears the snake hissing.
Harry looked around with his flashlight – he didn't see a snake anywhere. He decided to keep walking. As he reached the end of the hallway there were two doors – one was a lovely blue color and the other was a dark black. Harry consulted the map the muggle gave him – The black door leaded to the kitchen and the blue door leaded to the family room. Harry sighed with relief and opened the blue door. The family room was fairly nice it had three large windows in the back that looked out onto Hangleton. (The larger version of little Hangleton.) All the bright lights from the city gave the room an odd, blue, glow.

The floor had a blue carpet. (The same color as the door.) Surprisingly the carpet had no stains unlike the white one in the dining room. Bookcases lined the walls and an old fashioned radio was next to a fireplace. In the center of the room there were two couches and one large black chair. The back of the chair was facing Harry. Harry decided to look around the room a bit more.

As Harry walked over he heard that odd hissing noise again – it was coming from the kitchen. Harry decided to find out what it was, it was a good thirty minutes before he would leave the Riddle house and he wanted to do some investigating.

Harry exited through the blue door and walked back into the hallway – the hissing sound was more pronounced then ever! He walked over to the black door – it looked like it had something carved on the front. He couldn't quite make it out but it looked like T.M.R

"Whatever that stands for?" Harry muttered. He pushed open the door and looked inside the room. It was your typical, old, kitchen. Gas stove in the corner and a table to the side.
A counter with a microwave on it, cupboards, a yellowing sink, a giant snake in front of the door – wait.

Harry screamed and ran back to the door he came through – to late a snake was in front of it hissing angrily! In fact snakes were everywhere! They covered the tables and slithered around him. They hissed and climbed and hissed some more! Harry ran across the room stepping on smaller snakes as he went – just as long as he got out of the room! He noticed a knife sitting on the table – his only chance of defending himself. He grabbed it and ran towards the giant snake in front of the exit. "Take that!" He yelled stabbing the knife through its head. The snake screamed and hissed in pain. It spun its bloody head around and sunk its teeth into Harry's arm. "Ah..." Harry said. He could feel the pain flowing through his body, his body was weakening, and he could feel himself slipping from reality.

When Harry awoke he was in a dark room. It looked like a dungeon almost. He placed his arm on the ground to help him get up when he felt seething pain through out his body. "Right...the snake bite." He muttered angrily. He managed to get up without using his bitten arm. He looked around the room – it was pitch black. Harry looked down; surprisingly his flashlight was still next to him. He picked it up and turned it on. The room had stonewalls and a stone floor. He looked up at the ceiling – there was a big crack in it. Harry thought to himself, "I must of fell through the floor when I collapsed on that snake. I knew this place was one hundred years old!" Then he thought, "I wonder if this place is on the map that muggle kid gave me?" He looked at the map: it showed no room what so ever underneath the kitchen. "Well hopefully this place has an exit." Harry looked around the room – there was only one visible exit and that was a small hole in the wall just big enough for him to fit through. "Well...I don't have anywhere else to go, might as well see where this takes me."

Harry barely managed to crawl into the hole without hurting his arm. As he crawled through the tunnel he couldn't help but notice the other footprints in it – it looked as though someone else had used this tunnel before. The tunnel began to go a bit uphill – it was very tiring for poor Harry. When he reached the other side Harry came into another stone room – except this time it had something in it. In the center of the room there was a wooden box. Before opening the box Harry checked the room thoroughly for snakes. Then he crawled over to the box. On the top the same initials were written: T.M.R

Harry carefully used his good arm to open the box. The box was empty except for a piece of string. "What a waste." Harry thought. He closed the box, scooped it up in his free hand and then stood up. This time there seemed to be an exit – another black door. Harry opened it cautiously, the door lead outside into the backyard. Harry sighed with relief and ran back to the front. It took him a while to get to the front yard considering his injured arm, the box in his hands and the fact that he was running up hill.

When he finally reached the front yard the muggle children called out to him, "HARRY YOU ARE ALIVE!" "Yeah." Harry replied weakly as some of the muggle children hugged him. "Hey watch the bite." He yelled as one of them touched his injured arm. "Hey were did fatty go?" Harry asked. One of the muggle children replied, "You mean Joey? He went home, he said you probably died or something and that we were wasting our time waiting here." "But we never left!" One of the others piped in. Harry smiled and thought, "Maybe these muggles aren't that bad after all." "So tell us what happened!" One of the others asked excitedly. Harry replied, "Look, I'd love to but maybe tomorrow. I'm really tired and my dad might get home soon." "Okay." They all replied. "Lets meet at the park tomorrow." One of them suggested. "That sounds good." Harry answered with a yawn. "Later."

When Harry arrived home he quickly ran inside, locked the door and ran into the kitchen to care for his wound. He washed off the blood in the sink and wrapped it in a cloth. He wore long pajama sleeves to keep his dad from noticing. After that he placed the T.M.R box under his bed for safekeeping. Harry climbed into bed and fell asleep.
