My maniacal lovelies, welcome back. This is the chapter you have all been waiting for. Tom is making his entrance how ever short it is. I hope it is up to your standards and if not, my apologies.

I also had someone mention that Ginny should realize that her drawings are fading, I never thought of that. I have four sketch books full and I never look back at my sketches, so if one or two disappeared I never would notice. I put a bookmark in the next clean page and just go from there. I based her book like mine. Sorry if I confused anyone.

I do not own any part of Harry Potter.

Chapter 19 – Chamber of Secrets

Yule came seeing the Pack back to their homes. Harry spent most of it with his aunt, cousin, and Snape. Both Harry and Dudley had shared smirks and grins with each interaction Petunia and Snape had. It looked like the two adults were attracted to each other and the boys were just waiting for one to tell the other and start the courting process. Harry liked the idea of them together and Dudley wanted his mother to be happy. McGonagall had stopped by for the first two days of break but had to leave to go see her own children and grandchildren. She was sent off with well wishes and a few presents from them.

Harry had given Dudley a pair of high quality boxing gloves as his aunt had gotten him a boxing bag. He got his aunt a pair of gold and topaz earrings. He had given Snape a copy of Salazar's beginner's potion book, after Salazar gave him permission. McGonagall had gotten a copy of Rowena's poetry book, after Rowena also gave him permission. Those gifts were easy to think of.

Harry had spent many hours thinking over what to get for each member of his Pack. In the end he had decided on a book on healing for Hermione as she was showing an interest and a box of gourmet chocolate. For Draco he found a pair of silver snake cuffs and a box of assorted hard to find potion ingredients. Neville was simpler, he found a couple of Muggle plants that Neville never hear of and a bag of Muggle gummy bears. The twins were harder but he had found them a book of pranks through the ages and a book of assorted muggle prank objects. Luna was the easiest to buy for as he had seen her looking at a necklace in one of his shopping catalogs. The necklace was a simple little silver chain and a pendant with runes all over it. It was a protection amulet for seers. With that he also sent her a small set of blacken silver senbons from the muggle world. Ginny was the last he bought for. He got her pair of braided silver and gold hair pins and a pair of daggers with hip sheath.

As for gifts he had received, he got many chocolates and books from his Ravens and Snakes. Petunia got him a second set of throwing knives and a three book set on weapon training. Dudley got him a new Muggle book written by a criminal profiler on what makes women become killers. Snape gave him the Prince heir ring. McGonagall gave him an advanced book on runes and rituals. Draco sent him a small box that can hold up to 50 different phials with the Pack's Celtic wolf burned onto the lid. Hermione got him a wand holder for his wrist and a collection of Muggle cinnamon candies. Luna had found him a book of creatures that are real but never seen. The twins sent him a sampler box of some of their products and some mice for Amara and Hedwig. Ginny sent him a box of cinnamon chocolates and a small toy for Nightshade. Neville sent him an album of both their parents at school and of both of them at play dates, their parents in the background.

What truly surprised Harry was a letter he received from Samuel Carter. The boy he had beat to become Ravenclaw king. He had graduated the last year but wanted to make sure Harry knew that he followed Harry even now that he was out of school. He had gotten a job in the Ministry of Magic. He had learned of Harry plan to help make changes for the better from one of his friends and wanted to know how he could help. Harry had been astonished. A letter to Draco had this confirmed as truth, he told Samuel to learn all he could and meet with him the last day of Yule break. He had also sent letters to his Pack asking them to come over two days before break ended. They all sent confirmations back with Hedwig.

Harry had convinced his aunt that for the last two days of break he and his friends would be alright at the Leaky Cauldron by themselves. That's how he found himself waiting for his Pack in a corner booth nursing a warm butterbeer with many merry pedestrians talking and laughing around him in the pub. Amara was under his shirt coiled around his chest and Nightshade was in her customary pocket in his cloak napping. Tom had been happy to rent him one large room and add two king sized beds with one queen already in there. Now all he needed was for his Pack to show up. He sighed in boredom. He dug around in his bag without looking for a book of some kind to read. He pulled out his mother's book. He hadn't had the courage to read it yet. He opened it with a soft, sad smile.

My beautiful Harrison,

I know that you must have many questions and not many will be able to answer then. I am so sorry for that my love. I am sorry that your father and I won't be there to answer all your questions like we should be. I know your father and I will die before we ever got to see you grow. I know that your life will be full of many challenges but I also know you will get through them stronger than before. I am writing this in hope that you will one day read this and understand what many would try to hide from you and why I did what I did.

I'll start from the beginning. When I was 7 I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Doctors caught it early and were able to stop it from progressing. When I was 10 I started to see things. Things that hadn't happen yet. I was a seer. No one knows that, not even your father. I received my Hogwarts letter and went. I met your father and I hated him from first sight. He took a while to grow on me and convince me to give him a chance. I soon fell in love with your father. He asked me for my hand at the beginning of our 7th year. He did it right in the middle of the welcoming feast, cutting Dumbledore off mid word. I was mortified and so happy when he knelt and slipped his grandmother's ring onto my finger. In that same year, on my second Hogsmeade I got a vision of the little girl across the street getting hit by a stray spell and that spell killing her. I knew many of my vision never came true but this one shook me up. So I sat and watched. An hour later a fight broke out between a Ravenclaw and a Gryffindor. Before I knew it I was running towards the little girl who just stepped out of the shop. I got to her a moment before the spell did. The girl was safe as I took the hit. I spent a month in the med wing, turns out the spell was a high powered cutting hex. Your father and Severus were so mad. From what I was told, they put their little feud aside to hunted down the one who casted the spell. I was told the result of that wasn't pretty.

A woman came to me while I slept healing. She told me I saved one of her favorite children. When I asked who she was, she told me she was Lady Fate. She told me for the deed I did she was going to have my deepest wish come true. I never found out what she was talking about until a year later. Your Father and I married right out of school. The war was in full motion, Severus had to cut all ties with Petunia and rarely was able to speak to me out of meetings. Your father and I got married and went on a three day honey moon. That was when my deepest wish was granted. Lady Magic fulfilled her daughter's promise by giving me a child, you.

My Harrison, you are a childe of Magic herself, gifted to me because I saved one of her daughter's favorites. I was so happy. You father knew I couldn't have children though he wanted them himself, but when he found out I was pregnant he spent everyday thanking Lady Magic and Lady Fate for their gift.

When I was still pregnant a prophecy was told about how the Dark Lord would come after you. Our family went into hiding. You were born and we continued to hide, but I saw us being betrayed, saw us being found, and saw us being killed. I wasn't going to let you die, our greatest and most beloved gift. I found a way to keep you safe at the expense of our lives. Your father didn't know. I cast the ritual, gave the blood offering of your father's and my own blood. Your crib was the focus point.

Harrison you just turned one, and I know I do not have long in this world. I want you to understand that both your father and I love you so much. We only want you to grow up safe and loved. I know that you will not be safe. You were never meant to go live with your aunt and uncle. I saw a glimpse of how your uncle would treat you. You were meant to live with one of you godparents. Dumbledore was the cause of this. Do not trust him, I myself have long since stopped. You will change this world. I don't know how, I don't know when but I know you will.

The rest of this book is my grimoire. Every spell, ritual, potion, or formula I found or made is in here. I hope it helps you. I love you my strong son. I pray you never fail at what you put your mind to.

Your loving mother,

Lily Potter nee Evans

Harry didn't know what to think. His mother knew so much of what was going to happen. He gave a weary smile and closed the book. He needed to think before he opened it again. He spent the next twenty minutes in a silent meditation. His focus was on his heartbeat. Luna, Ginny, and the twins flooed in to the overcrowded pub, his magic told him so and pulled him out of his oblivious state. He waved them over, greeting them all with a smile. They sat down talking about their holiday. Ginny told him how they twins made Ron's break horrible with prank candies and thanked him for his gifts before she pulled out the black diary to draw. Harry felt magic inside of the diary but pushed it aside as it was doing no harm. He listened to the twins talk about their oldest brothers and Luna about her visit to Greece looking for a herd of shifting foaldlings. He had no real idea what she was talking about other than this creature was unproven and she was disappointed that she wasn't able to find it to prove its existence.

It wasn't long before the last three member of their Pack joined them one by one. Hermione kissed her father goodbye before joining them. "I'm the last one here."

"Hello to you too Hermione." Harry chuckled. He waited until his whole Pack was seated and with a drink before casting a silent sound barrier around them to talk. "No one had any trouble with the bond?"

"No, it was nice, but I still missed you all." Hermione answered. The other gave a nod to her statement.

"So what is this about Carter sending you a letter? Draco mentioned it in his last letter." Neville asked pulling his butterbeer closer to his chest to keep it away from Fred, who was trying to steal a drink from it even though his own was still half full.

"Samuel Carter was the King of Ravenclaw for two years before he challenged me in my first year. While he was in school under my rule he proved to be loyal by defending me against many challengers. He graduated last year. I guess a few of his friends have kept him informed of what is going on and he wants to help. Now my only problems are I need a way ensure he is loyal and stays loyal, and I need a way to inform him of meets other than by letter. Letters are easily intercepted. We don't want that." Harry explained. Fred finally succeeded in stealing a drink from Neville's butterbeer only to get a boxed ear.

"Well the loyalty can be insured by an oath. Now for a way to inform him of meets, why don't we borrow a page from the last two dark lord's books? Mark them in some way, like you did us by making us all a port key with a wolf." Hermione looked to Draco to approve of her idea knowing he knew more about these kinds of things.

"That would work. A mark could be part of the oath because the oath will be an oath of loyalty so the mark can be made into the end result of that oath. But this mark will need to be something that won't cause alarm. In a place many won't even think weird if they see it. The placement would just make them think it's a plan tattoo." Draco pointed out.

Hermione bit her lip in thought. "What about the back of the neck? It's a power spot and many wouldn't even notice it if it was on the lower part, not with the robes and how much they cover."

Harry thought about it. It sounded like a good spot. The back of the neck is also a show of submission so it would be the perfect place for a loyalty mark. "I like it. Now what can be the perfect mark? You all have a Celtic wolf but you are my Pack so I won't use that." Harry brought his right hand up to rub his own band on his left upper arm. He paused in his rubbing, feeling the moon even under two layers of clothing. "What about a crescent moon in a celtic knot design?" He paused again to think about it. "Never mind, wolves worship the mother moon. Let's use a celtic knot though."

"Oh I know the perfect knot." Hermione pulled out a piece of paper from her bag and a pen. The Pack watches as she drew a circular knot. She made the knot itself pop by making it with in a black circle while the knot was white. She finished it and offered it to Harry.

"I like it. It's a circle but it doesn't really remind you of a moon. We'll use it." Harry told her taking the paper she offered him. He studied it intensely, memorizing it. "I have the first meet with him set up for tomorrow. It will take place up in the room beside ours. I want you all to be there."

They nodded. The rest of day was spent joking around, acting like the school kids they were. They visited Diagon Alley and explored Knockturn with their hoods up. When the sun started to dip in the sky they made their way back to the Leaky Cauldron for dinner and their room.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Harry sat in one of the two chairs in the meeting room meditating. His Pack was scattered around the room. Ginny sat on the right arm of his chair drawing in her book, while Hermione sat on the left arm reading the book Harry had gotten her for Yule. Draco was behind the chair talking to George about potions. Neville leaned against the wall across from the door and next to the only window talking to Fred who was leaning against the wall on the other side of the window. Luna was perched on the foot board of the small twin sized bed in the corner of the room humming a light merry tune. A single table sat in front of Harry with another chair on the other side of it. They were all just waiting for Samuel Carter to show up.

The door opening caused all but Harry to stop what they were doing to turn their attention to it. Samuel stepped into the room and paused. He never thought he would see the whole Pack in his meeting with Harrison. The picture they made in the room made him feel unsteady. He pushed his feelings aside and shut the door. He watched them as he made his way to the only available seat across from Harry. He turned his attention from the others to Harry who was just opening his eyes.

"Samuel. Glad you could make it." Harry greeted and took time to observe him. Samuel was in a black suit, his brown hair was combed perfectly into place, he sat with his back straight, his right leg crossed over his left, his hands settled clasped in his lap, and his brown eyes were settled on his own killer emeralds. Harry smirked in his mind. He always did like this young man.

"It is good to see you Harrison. Thank you for meeting me today." Samuel greeted Harry back, doing all the proper pleasantries. "As I said in my letter, a friend told me that you were recruiting people to help you bring about changes that will help us prosper. I want to help. You were my King in school and I will continue to follow."

Harry sat back to go over all that Samuel said. His magic told him that Samuel was being truthful. "I will require an oath of loyalty, and for you to receive a mark. The changes I am planning are very important. I cannot have you double-crossing me for any reason. The mark will be the physical manifest of the oath you give. It will also tell you when we need to meet. Do you agree with the requirements?"

Samuel only thought for a moment before answering. "Yes." He stood from his seat, pushing it back in the process. He kneeled on one knee and bowed his head, just like he had been when Harry had defeated him for the crown. Harry stood and placed a hand on the back of his neck. When Samuel felt that he spoke his oath. "I, Samuel David Carter, do so declare my loyalty to one, Harrison James Evans Potter; sound of mind and of my own free will. I do so swear to be loyal to Harrison, never to betray him by word or action, willing or unwilling. By my magic and life, so mote it be."

Harry felt magic accept the oath as truth and his own magic move into Samuel's skin creating the mark and connection, accepting the oath to its fullest. Samuel now belonged to him. "Well done. Stand and sit. We have a lot to go over."

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Yule was over and the Pack was back at Hogwarts. Halfway into January Harry noticed how Ginny would disappear from time to time. He kept the observations to himself until one night while the others were asleep but Harry was sitting in the common room reading, she came back to the rooms with blood on her clothing, and her magic dimmer than he had even seen it. She was gripping her black diary with white knuckles. He didn't hesitate to cast a silent, nonverbal stunner at her. She fell to the ground unconscious. He grabbed the diary from her hands, throwing it onto the table and levitated her into the bedroom. He left her in her bed to sleep. The founders watched him do all this in silence.

He grabbed the book Ginny was always drawing in. He flipped through all the pages only to see them all blank. With a suspicion in his mind, he grabbed his quill. My name is Harrison Evans.

The ink stayed for a minute but soon started to fade. New word formed after they were gone. Hello Harrison. I am Tom Riddle. Where is Ginny?

Sleeping. What are you doing to her? Harry already had an idea but he wanted to know what this 'Tom' had to say.

What do you mean? Is something wrong with her?

Harry narrowed his eyes at the writing. Let me make this clear to you. Ginny is one of mine. She is a member of my Pack. I will not have anyone or thing hurt her in any way. You will do well to remember that.

Harry didn't wait for a reply. He dropped the book back on the table. He didn't like this. The magic in the book felt familiar but for some reason he couldn't remember from where. Harry was tempted to hide the book but he felt that Ginny wouldn't react well to that. He sighed, he needed sleep. He left the book sitting on the table as he made his way to the bedroom.

A week later, Harry was regretting leaving the book on the table. Ginny was rarely around anymore and the others were starting to worry. Mrs. Norris, the caretaker's cat, and Sr. Headless Nick, the Gryffindor house ghost, were found petrified next to a message written in blood that read, 'The chamber of the secrets has been open. Enemies of the heir beware.'

A few of the Snakes asked Harry what was going on seeing as he was a parselmouth. He had no idea what was going on. He spoke to Salazar who told him he didn't know what was going on either. Salazar never deflected from the founders. He never wanted to kill all the Muggle-born. History had muddled the truth.

The next day Harry heard the sound of a snake after DADA. Neville didn't understand what was going on when Harry randomly stopped in the hall. Harry followed the voice as far as he could before he was forced to stop by a wall. Neville followed his Alpha never saying a word. Day after day Harry would hear a snake talking about being hungry and wanting to kill. He would follow it day after day through the school only to be lead to a dead end.

When Harry confronted Salazar about the snake he was told about the Basilisk. Amara was excited to hear of the snake until she realized that this Basilisk was in a school full of defenseless children. Then she was pissed, hissing about how she was going to give that snake a piece of her mind. Harry and the Pack tried many ways to keep an eye on Ginny but it got harder as time went on. She stopped sleeping in their room. Harry had even given orders to the Ravens and Snakes to keep an eye on her. One day they couldn't find her. They were in the process of looking for her when McGonagall's voice could be heard throughout the school telling all students to return to their common rooms. The Pack ignored the suggestion. They found the latest message. 'Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever.'

Harry felt a flush of anger build inside of him. His magic whipped around him just as it raged inside of him. "Fred, George, Neville go find that boy who gave Ginny the diary, Luna and Hermione you both are to go get the teachers. Tell them I am going to get one of mine back. Draco you are coming with me."

They did as they were told without question and hesitation. Harry led Draco down a number of hallways. He had gotten one of the three entrances to the chamber out of Salazar, which was where they were going. He made it to the girl's bathroom in record time. He ignored the ghost crying and yelling at them. He looked straight at the sinks. "Open."

The sinks moved and sunk into each other leaving a hole in the floor tht was about seven feet in wide. Harry and Draco stood looking down into the hole when a voice came from behind them. "Now what do we have here? The headmaster will be so happy when I turn the two heirs of Slytherin in."

"Draco, grab him." Draco didn't question why Harry gave him the order to grab Lockhart,b he just did it. Lockhart looked surprised when Draco summoned his wand and grabbed him, swinging him in a way that Lockhart's back was to the hole. "Professor, so glad you could join us. You can be the one to make sure the passage is safe."

Harry sent his magic out in a harsh push, making Lockhart fall back into the hole with a grily shreek. He waited till he heard the man hit the bottom and comment about how dirty it was before nodding to Draco. Harry jumped in first. The hole turned into a slide, spitting him out in a dark, fish skeleton infested tunnel. Harry was able to land on his feet. Lockhart was still lying on the ground a meter in front of him. Draco landed on his butt behind him.

"This is so sick. When we are done retrieving Ginny and giving her an earful I call the first shower." Draco grumbled to himself as he hulled Lockhart onto his feet. Not wanting to take any chances, Draco sent a spell to tie Lockhart's hands in front of him with a rope attached to it that Draco took a tight grip on. With that done he followed Harry with Lockhart tripping behind him.

Harry was undisturbed at the 25 foot snake skin halfway down the tunnel but neither Draco nor Lockhart could suppress the chilling shiver that crawled down their spines. Draco pushed down his fear and unease to continue following his Alpha. He had faith in his Alpha. Harry for his part, kept his magic free. From his bond he could feel Ginny getting closer with every step he took but he could also feel her magic and life slipping away. "Amara."

"Yes Master?" Amara pulled herself from his robes.

"When we get in there I want you to go straight to Ginny. I need you to protect her while I take care of what is doing this to her." Harry gazed down fondly at his first friend. When he had gotten her she was no bigger than his hand but now, two years later she was almost the width of his wrist and was going on three feet long. Her poison was strong and she had just gotten her first set of eye lens, meaning her killer and paralyzing gazes were forming.

"Yes master. What of the blond and man?" Amara turned her head to look at Draco and Lockhart. The professor shrunk back in fear of the snake.

"Both Draco and Lockhart will grab Ginny and get her out of here. I will deal with what brought her down here in the first place. And this is not up to discussion by anyone." Harry spoke in English so all could understand him. Draco looked like he wanted to argue but held himself back knowing that his Alpha can defend himself better if they were gone and out of danger.

At the end of the tunnel a round door was carved into the rock. Snakes decorated it. Harry gave the command for it to open and the snakes moves, slithering around the outside making it unlock with loud echoing clicks. Harry pushed the door open with his magic and continued. The room they found themselves in was grand. A ceiling so far above their heads that it couldn't be seen, orbs light the black polished stone in an eerie green, and pillars made to look like snakes lined the pathway down to a face that looked a little like an older Salazar only evil. This was Salazar's father. At the base of the statue was a small pond of water but what caught Harry's attention was his Pack member lying before the pond on her back, barely breathing. He felt a presence in the room with them, waiting for them to approach the downed girl.

"Get Ginny and go. Quickly." Draco, with Amara at his heels, ran to do what they were told. Lockhart ran back towards the door now that the rope was released. He never made it. A green light, the same color as Harry's eyes, hit him in his retreating back. Harry watched a boy a few years older than them step out of the shadows the pillars cast. "Draco, Amara now."

Draco didn't bother levitating Ginny. He picked her up with Amara wrapped around them both to help steady her and ran. He passed Harry, bumping their shoulders and grabbing onto his cloak for a moment. Harry blocked any spell the boy sent after Draco as he ran past Lockhart's body to the door. The door shut behind them. Harry stood facing the pissed off looking boy, observing him. He looked to be about 16 years old and wore on older version of the Slytherin uniform. His eyes were a piercing black, showing knowledge and anger. He stood tall about 6 '1 if Harry had to guess. His skin was pale and his brown hair was combed in an elegant style. All in all, this boy looked like a well-bred pure-blood to Harry. "Tom Riddle."

"Harrison Evans." Tom's voice was rich. "Tell me, how did you find the chamber?"

"Simple, you took someone who belongs to me. I might not show it often but I am very possessive. I had Salazar tell me where the closest entrance was and followed the bond I have with Ginny." Harry took a step to the right. Tom followed his steps with his own. The slowly circled each other.

"Yes. She was stubbornly loyal to you. She only told me you were her Alpha. No matter how many different ways I asked about you, she stayed silent." Tom sneered.

Harry smirked. "What's wrong Tom? Don't like not getting your way?"

"It doesn't matter, Ginny will be dead soon enough. You can't do anything." Tom turned his back to Harry. Bad move. Harry sent a wandless/ nonverbal cutting hex at Tom's exposed back. Tom ducked just in time, spinning he sent his own volley of spells and hexes at Harry.

"You know I just remembered why you feel so familiar to me. I met you last year." Harry jumped back to miss the defodio that left large gauging holes where he stood a moment before.

"Did you? Pray tell, how did the meeting go?" Tom dodged Harry's confringo. The spell hit the wall sending debris flying everywhere. "I must admit that you are strong for a 2nd year."

"The meeting went well. You were processing the DADA teacher. Truth be told, I had never met the DADA teacher as you were always out when I was in the class. My Pack and I confronted you. You told me to call you Tom. You also said your plans had changed. No one student or teacher was going to be harmed." Harry sent a tripping hex to the side where Tom landed dodging a cutting hex. Tom fell to his knees. Harry disarmed him and sent bindings. Tom was trapped, unable to move let alone fight.

"Come now Harrison. You can't kill a memory." Tom, even on his knees defeated, looked so smug.

"Tom Riddle. AKA Lord Voldemort." Tom's eyes widen for a moment in shock before it was hidden behind a cool mask. "Yes I know who you are. I don't fear you. I didn't last year and I don't now. I will not let you kill a member of my Pack."

"What are you going to do? You speak as if you can stop me." Tom struggled to his feet. Harry let him.

"That is because I can." Harry pulled a black diary out of his pocket where Draco had dropped it when he grabbed onto his cloak. "You are going back where you came from."

Tom looked shocked when Harry pushed his magic into the book, making it glow the same as his eyes did. Tom felt his strength leaving him as Harry pushed his magic to connect with the diary, pulling Tom back. Tom's yells were ignored as slowly Harry sent Ginny's magic, her life energy, back to her through their bond. Harry felt his magic chain Tom back into the book before slowly retracting his own magic.

He tucked the book back into his pocket, ignoring the hatred from it. He turned to the face of Salazar's father. "Speak to me Slytherin." The mouth opened.

"Master, you return again." A large head, the size of a small car, poked out of the dark opening.

"I am not your master Elmeca. Lord Salazar Slytherin did give me permission to enter and stop his heir from ordering you to kill or petrify anyone else." Harry looked the creature in the eyes. He felt a tingle but his bond with Amara saved him from the effects the eyes had.

"You speak and are not dead from my sight. Very well, I will listen to you." Elmeca lowered her head.

"You were left here to protect the students not be used as a weapon against them. I know you are very hungry. I will the house elves bring you animals to hunt and eat. You will continue to protect the school and all who dwell in it." Harry ordered her. She accepted it.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Harrison!" Harry gave his godmother an innocent smile as he came out of the entrance. All of the teachers were crowded into the girl's bathroom. The headmaster had a group of aurors with him. Snape pulled Harry away from the hole as the sinks started to move back into their proper place.

"You stupid boy. Do you not care that you could have been killed down there?" Snape glared at Harry but he could see the worry in his godfather's eyes as he looked him over.

"Mr. Potter, I am Amelia Bones Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. I need you to tell us what happened down there." Amelia stepped forward, holding a hand out for Harry to shake.

"It's Evans, Madam. I go by my mother's maiden name." Harry shook her hand. He felt Snape move to his side and McGonagall wrap an arm around his shoulders. "A close friend, Ginevra Weasley, was taken and another friend, Draco Malfoy, and I went to retrieve her. We had heard rumors that the first time the chamber had been opened a girl died. That the girl still haunted the place she died at. That led us here. All I did was say open and the sinks did." Harry proceeded to tell a tale of how Lockhart found them about to jump in and told them he was going with them to protect them. He told how Lockhart had Draco run with Ginny, and how Harry stayed behind to watch the epic fight that brought the heir to his death and Lockhart dying after killing the Basilisk.

No one other than Dumbledore, who stayed silent, questioned if he was lying. They all took his word and walked with him to the med wing. When Ginny saw him, she sprang from her bed crying. Harry caught her and just let her get it all out. The rest of the Pack formed a protective circle around them. The adults just stood on watching as they couldnt get close to the girl. "Harry" Ginny's voice was a whisper. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to. I-"

"Ssshh, Ginny it's alright. Just relax. We're here. It's over." Harry rubbed her back. He won't let anyone hurt one of his. His Pack is his. Harry let his magic wash over the room, giving his Pack and godparents feel safe and protected, and making the others to feel the warning about approaching.

'Alpha we couldn't find the boy. We asked around and the boy seems to have never existed.' Neville reported throught the bond.

'Somebody gave that thing to her. We just don't know who.' Fred added. Harry nodded in understanding.

When Ginny was calmer Harry took her with the Pack back to their rooms. Madam Pomfrey wasn't happy but after talking with Harry she let it happen. The situation was like the troll incident all over again. Ginny curled up with Luna and her two brothers to fall asleep. The others wanted to stay awake to get the whole story but Harry sent them to bed.

"Harrison what are you going to do with the diary?" Salazar asked from his frame above the fireplace. The founders all looked on in worry as Harry just sat in silence with the black book in his hands.

Harry sat in his chair watching the fire as he fiddled with the book. He wasn't going to let anyone get their hands on it ever again. With a sigh he stood from his seat, telling the founders good-night, and went into the bed room, to the base of his bed where his trunk sat. He whispered the password for his clothing compartment and it opened. He tapped the left side panel with his magic. It opened like a drawer showing another compartment all together. This panel could only be open by his magical signature as it held the things the Ministry classified as Dark.

He had made this compartment during the summer after he took Hermione to Knockturn Alley. The panel looked like it was a shelf, half for books half for everything else. He set Tom's diary on the shelf next to his blood magic book. No one but him could get to the diary now.
