Dear Diary

Later that night, Yugi, Yami, and Joey stayed up to wait for Harry and Ron to come back. "Joey...did you see Brian tonight at all?" Yami asked the blonde duelist. "Yeah...me and Bakura were fighting cuz of what happened to Serenity...he stopped us and said that we need to clear our heads for the work ahead of us," Joey recalled the night's events. Yugi looked up at the staircase, "I bet Tea's wide awake right now," he said quietly.
Harry and Ron came running into the common room, breathing heavily. "Well...what did you find out?" Yami asked the two. Ron shook his head, "Not much, Pharaoh. Although I'm writing to my dad, telling him to look under the floorboards at the Malfoy home," he said tiredly. The holidays ended and the students that left the castle came back, and heard about Hermione's staying in the Hospital Wing.
At first, they were afraid she had been attacked, but they had the whole thing explained to them. Soon, her bed was surrounded with gifts and get well cards, even one from the dumbest teacher in the school, Lockhart. Of course, the school also found out about Brian's disappearance. With him missing, leaving his eye and a puddle of blood, made everyone very nervous.
Dumbledore and the staff took extra precautions for the safety of the students, so they had teachers patrolling the corridors, and Dumbledore also had Hagrid take Lucien out of Gryffindor Tower for patrols on the grounds outside. Needless to say, this didn't stop the gang from snooping around to try and figure out what was going on.
Harry, Ron, and Yugi were walking around the corridors when they heard Moaning Myrtle, well moaning again. They entered the bathroom and looked around. "Myrtle? What's wrong?" Yugi asked, looking for the girl ghost. "Who is that?" her voice cried out. "Myrtle, it's us, Harry, Ron and Yugi," Harry called out to her.
Myrtle floated over to them, "Why are you here? Come to throw more things at me?" she said accusingly. The three of them looked at each other, "Why would we throw something at you?" Yugi asked her. The spirit shrugged, "I don't know. People have always been throwing things at me. 10 points if you can get it through her arm, 30 points if you can get it through her stomach...50 POINTS IF YOU CAN HIT HER IN THE FACE!" she yelled in the trio's faces.
The boys shrank back and Yugi spotted something on the floor behind Myrtle. He walked over and picked up a small, very wet, black book. "This what hit you?" he asked the ghost girl. She nodded sadly, "I was just sitting in the U-Bend, minding my own business, then someone just comes in here and tries to flush it!" she sobbed.
Ron looked at the book, "I don't know why anyone would flush it," he said before dropping his voice to a lower level, "50 points if you can nail Myrtle in the nose," he whispered. Yugi gave it to Harry, and he pocketed the book.
-That Night...-
Harry leafed through the book, looking at the blank pages. Yugi came up behind him and sat down next to him, "Find anything?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. Harry nodded, "Yes. It's a diary of some sort. All I know is that a T.M. Riddle bought it at Vauxhall Road. Had to have been Muggle-born to buy it there," he told the midget. (Author's Note: for some odd reason...I can't help but poke fun at Yugi's height...I don't mean to be mean...it's just funny! back to the fic...)
"Riddle...that sounds familiar," Yugi said thoughtfully. He reached over to grab the diary, but spilled a bottle of ink all over it. "Aiya! Gomen, Harry!" he said quickly, trying to get the ink off of it. Harry watched and stopped his friend, "Yugi...look!" he whispered. The tri-color haired wizard/duelist looked down at the book to see the ink being soaked into the pages. "Whoa...," Yugi said softly.
Harry came up with an idea and yanked the book away from Yugi. He sat down at a table and began to write in it. My name is Harry Potter...and my friend is Yugi Motou. The two of them watched as the ink disappeared into the paper and a new message appear in it's place. Hello, Harry Potter and Yugi Motou. My name is Tom Riddle.
The two boys just looked in astonishment at the book. How is it you two came across my diary? Riddle asked them. Yugi took his turn, "Someone tried to flush it down a toilet," he said as he wrote it down. The ink vanished and Riddle replied, This diary holds many things within it's pages. Yugi and Harry looked at each other, "Like what?" Harry asked, writing it down. Terrible things. Secrets. Within this diary, are my memories of what happened fifty years ago when the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Muggle borns were attacked constantly, and one even died.
Yugi quickly wrote his message down, "Tom...the Chamber is open again. The attacks are happening once more. Can you tell us who opened and closed the Chamber back then?" he asked hopefully. NO, was Riddle's answer. Yugi groaned, but Harry tapped his shoulder. He looked back down to see another message, But I can show you. Suddenly, a bright light poured out of the book and surrounded the two young wizards. When the light died down, the two were nowhere to be seen in the room.
Harry and Yugi found themselves in a stone corridor, near some stairs. In the middle of the stairs, was a handsome young man, about 16 or so. He was looking upward, and didn't seem to notice the two newcomers at all. "Hello? Are you Tom Riddle?" Harry asked as the two of them walked up to the boy. The teen just ignored them and soon they saw what he was looking at. Two men were slowly making their way down the stairs, carrying a stretcher.
It was covered with a sheet, and poking out from under it...was an arm and a hand. Yugi winced at the sight and Harry cringed. The teen watched as the wizards carried the body away. "Tom? What are you doing out this late?" a soft voice asked. Yugi, Harry, and Tom looked up to see a much younger, Albus Dumbledore. "Whoa...that guy is old," Yugi commented. Harry glanced at him, then back at the other two wizards.
"I had heard that there had been a killing, Professor. I had to see for myself," Riddle explained to Dumbledore. The old wizard nodded, "You should go back to your dorm. It's not safe out here tonight," he advised. Riddle nodded and started to leave, but stopped and looked back at Dumbledore. "Sir? If someone knew about who's been behind this, and turned them in...would it be safe again?" he asked slowly.
Dumbledore looked long and hard at Riddle, "Tom, do you know something?" he asked slowly. Riddle shook his head, "No sir. I should be going," he said quickly. He turned and left the hall, leaving Dumbledore alone with Harry and Yugi. "You think we should follow him?" Yugi asked Harry, who looked at him, "What do you think?" he asked before he started to run after him. "Hey, wait up!" Yugi called after him.
They followed Riddle through about a dozen corridors and stairs until they came to the dungeon area. The two of them caught up with Riddle, who they saw take out his wand and look around. He pushed open a door and stepped inside. They followed him and saw him confront a large student with a familiar voice.
"It's over Rubeus...a student has died from it. I must turn you in," Riddle said sadly. The large student shook his large, hair covered head, "Ya can'! Aragog didn' do nothin' ta nobody!" he cried, standing in front of a large box. Yugi and Harry could see something long and hair poke out of the box. "Rubeus...I mean it. Just stand aside and let me take of this. If you do this, perhaps I can reason with the Ministry," he offered.
The large student shouted and moved towards Riddle, knocking the box off the table in the process. As it hit the floor, the box opened up and something very big and hairy scuttled out of the room. Riddle saw it and aimed his wand at it, "Arana Exicimae!" he cried. A bright beam shot out of the wand, but missed the scuttling creature. "NO! ARAGOG RUN!" the large student screamed. Riddle pointed his wand at the student, "It's over, Rubeus. They'll have your wand for this," he said quietly.
Before it could continue, Harry and Yugi felt themselves get pulled away, then a flash blinded them. They looked around and found themselves on the floor of the common room. Ron, Joey and Tea entered the room and went to their friends, "You guys ok? We've been looking everywhere for ya," Joey asked as he helped Yugi up. Harry and Yugi looked at the others, "Guys...it was Hagrid. Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago," Harry said breathlessly.
