Behind the Veil: Studies of a Gurl

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or anything else JK Rowling created in her ingenious brain.

A/N: Everything behind the Veil is what I see, please do not take it! Or my plot either! Anyway hope you enjoy! It's kind of hard to describe the genre of this story. May be some mystery, drama, action, and romance so I'm not quite sure. It's basically based around Sirius Black, (OC) Hunter Simons, Harry Potter, Tom Riddle, and the Chamber of Secrets.

Summary: Moaning Myrtle died because of the Basilisk and Ginny was the only one to be brought to the chamber, what if there was another who willingly went there then disappeared? What if she came back years later with a Sirius Black?

Chapter One: Chamber of Secrets, Where I shall Rest in Silence

They had all told her he was a bad man. They had warned her over and over. Did she listen? It's not that hard a question. Well she hadn't. Tom Riddle. Half-blood, Slytherin, Prefect. They say he's always up to no good. He was a loner. It's not like he would all of a sudden give up on the house rivalry and ask out the Prefect, Gryfindor, Muggle-born.

No one could figure out how a half-blood got into Slytherin but no one questioned the Sorting Hat. But why did she have to say yes? Because he was cute, smart, seemed (at the time) a good boy. Also because he seemed more interested in her then her outer appearance that boys all of a sudden seemed to notice. She thought it a good idea. Oh how she wished to change her decision.

It was after the third attack on the school that the Prefect started to get scared. After all she was a muggle-born and whatever was attacking the students seemed to like her kind. Being a Prefect meant that she would have to protect her peers. With the Gryfindor spirit and courage guiding her she went about her normal duty of patrolling the halls. As she was passing the girl's bathroom she thought she heard something, expecting to see the moaning, mopping Myrtle or a snogging couple, she entered with her head held high.

Instead of finding either of things mentioned she found her new boyfriend disappearing into the floor of the Girl's Bathroom near the sinks. Wide eyed and holding her breath she slowly walked to the place where he had been. Swallowing her fears, she followed.

Carefully walking to, Merlin knows where, she found herself in a large chamber. Her sinking heart told her where she was. Spinning around quickly she found herself face to face with none other then Tom Riddle, her boyfriend, the would be Head Boy. Right now she wasn't sure if she should scream or hug him. Something was different about him now, it was so… how to explain… evil?

"Hello Hunter." His voice was a whisper but it still managed to echo around the room, if that's what you want to call it. She couldn't find her voice so when she opened her mouth all that came out was a whimper, which made him laugh. "Do not worry, I will call it when I want to!"

If anyone knew Hunter Simons they knew she was a bright witch and it didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that he was the one letting out the monster. All evidence came rushing back to her and she knew the beast was a basilisk. "I'll tell the Headmaster!" it surprised herself how calm she sounded.

He laughed and it sounded cruel and sadistic, "Come on Hun, I've come to like you. When I become the most powerful wizard you could rule by my side. Think of the power!" His arm snaked out and grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her in close so their faces were centimeters apart. She had to admit it was tempting but she still was a Gryfindor, through and through.

"NO!" She yelled yanking her arm out of his grasp and rubbing her wrist as if she were burned as she backed away from him. He laughed again and once more grabbed her placing his mouth on hers in a deep kiss. She tried to pull away, run, yell, anything, but he was in control now. Soon she found herself on the ground with him on top of her. Oh great I'm going to get raped here in the Chamber, then left to my death…she couldn't help but bitterly think. Then being the smart, calculating girl she was, got an idea.

Forcing down her disgust and fears she pretended to actually enjoy what he was doing and even kissed back. Trying not to gag as she felt his hands roam, her plan formulated. She had heard, many times, that Tom Riddle liked to be in control, but in well this he liked a girl to be in control. Trying not to smirk at the fact it was actually working she flipped him over and took over. Making sure he had quite an erection, she left quite fast and suddenly, that he didn't realize it for a moment.

Hunter paused at one of the large pipe entrances trying to figure out which way she had come in. However this pause was just long enough for Tom Riddle to call upon the Basilisk. The moment she heard the large serpent's hiss she took off down the pipe at her right. Wrong one.

Splashing through the water she could hear the reptile advancing. Out of instinct she turned to see if the thing was there. Luckily it wasn't… yet. However lucky she had been it wasn't enough because her foot caught onto something and she came tumbling down. In her new position on the ground she froze, listening. Nothing. Panting she tilted her head to find quite a large set fangs above her. Jamming her eyes closed and screaming her lungs out Hunter tried to crawl away, however an immensely large pain in her hip slowed her and made her scream bloody murder. She had been bit. Kicking out of instinct she managed to make contact with the slippery murderer. It hissed in pain and slid off, apparently thinking it would just wait for her to die and then come and get her.

As the Basilisk's poison started to effect her she tried to find a way out. Stumbling through the pipes she found her eyesight leaving her. Hunter could no longer see the pipes around herself, she could no longer feel the metal of the walls that surrounded her, helping her make sure it was real, then breathing became difficult. Gasping and panting all she could do was splash along, smelling the rotten stench and listening to the water and the crunching of rat bones.

Collapsing she held her neck as the pain double and she started to feel dizzy. She then collapsed into the water, breathing her last breath, listening and smelling the last things. Recalling the last memories right before her death, remembering one last time. That's how Hunter Amelia Simons died in the Chamber of Secrets by her boyfriend and his pet snake.

What she knew about Tom Riddle would be taken to the grave. Too bad because, just maybe, she could have stopped Lord Voldemort from ever becoming a threat. However not everyone's lives end with 'Happily ever after' no matter how much we wish. Poor Hunter, she was just plain forgotten. No one knew where the Chamber was, everyone just suspected that she went home early because she was scared, but her parents hadn't seen her. She wasn't petrified and they never found her body so she was just forgotten, slowly of course.

Myrtle died, soon after, in the bathroom she was usually in and no one knew what did it. Hagrid was found guilty and expelled. Later, many years later, found to be innocent. But that is not what this story is about, it's about Hunter and how she wasn't able to save Lily and James Potter from their deaths and why The-Boy-Who-Lived is a threat to Lord Voldemort and why it was or was not, all her fault.

END OF CHAPTER

A/N: There is the beginning. The Death of Hunter Amelia Simons a muggle-born witch in Gryfindor whom was found worthy of a wife by Tom Riddle himself. She died but it's not the end of our little friend.

Coming Up: Hunter finds herself in the land of the dead. She's confused and uses her calculatory personality to figure it out. Is this what Death is? Who does she meet? What will they do?

Please do not let this information out! Lets just say many things in our Universe would not be at piece if greedy people and scientists searched and proved my theories and discoveries. Some things are just not made to be tampered with, like a rose. It may be tempting to pick but unless you're careful it's going to cause someone or something pain.
