-CHAPTER THREE- GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Previous chapter

Slowly they all faded away leaving Harry and Ceidhli by themselves once again.

"Well . . .this is going to different, I never really hung out with family before," said Ceidhli looking around the now empty room. "What do you want first?"

Harry watched Ceidhli closely, "I have no idea really. I mean you are the first family member who isn't dead that actually wants to spend time with me and whom I actually know is apart of my family," Harry said softly thinking about Professors McGongall and Dumbledore and the Dursleys.

Ceidhli smiled sadly at Harry as though she knew what he was thinking which in all honesty she probably was reading his thoughts, right after that thought Ceidhli nodded but Harry wasn't paying attention to her head instead he was concentrating on her middle necklace's gem because it began to change colors from the warm red it had been to a blue gray. He looked up at Ceidhli's face and then gave her a look of confusion then pointed at the necklace hoping that he didn't have to speak his confusion, she simply laughed at the look and sat on his bed Indian style motioning him to follow her example so they could both get comfortable.

"A few of my allies gave it to me centuries ago as a gift and a warning. You see Harry I have what you would call a hot temper. . . when my allies and I first meant and became closer we had to learn how to deal with each other, they really had to learn not to evoke my temper which really they never learned so instead they made me this mood gem so to speak . . . they really got tried of the temper." Ceidhli pulled at the necklace allowing Harry to see the gem better he lifted the gem from Ceidhli's hand and stared at the red gem that seemed to have colors swirling underneath the surface of the gem.

"It really shows what I am feeling no matter what mood I am in this gem will help you figure it out all you have to do is know the colors. When it is like a molten vibrant red with golden streaks in it that is when you run, run away as fast as you can because boyo I am pissed, and you leave and wait until I cool off."

Harry smiled thinking about what she had said, "and so what color should I try and keep you at?"

Ceidhli titled her head for a moment thinking, "a warm red is happy which I never truly am there is always something lurking underneath it all but you try and get me there; yellow with silver sparks is excited I do that one a lot when I see something new and fun I am not sure if that color is good or bad my allies say its a mix and match think Hagrid and his lovable animals that are really dangerous kind of animals."

"So yellow and silver bad mix?"
"Yes and no just depends, it is going to be your call any way calm blue is serene something I am rarely; white is when I am meditating and that is the best time to ask me anything I find that I usually say yes. I have a lot of other colors but those are the ones to strive for cause none of them will make me want to kill you or hurt you at all which is a good thing."

"Tell me about it I already have one evil killer out to get me I don't need another one right not." Harry said while thinking of Voldemort.

"Yes," Ceidhli said in weird foreign accent that Harry couldn't place, "you seem to have a great deal of problems: boy, girl problems, being a teenager oh and that whole thing with the psycho killer dude wanting you dead. But don't worry I will so help you learn to talk to girls so you won't get your ass kicked in the dating game."

"And you will teach me how to fight Voldemort right?" Harry asked not sure what to think about her obsession with him dating.

"If you want me to but I think that girls are the bigger issue here." Ceidhli said looking down at her finger nails that were absent of color and then with a blink of her eyes they turned to a deep purple color she nodded and looked back to Harry.

"Could you teach me Occlumency ( is that the right spelling )? I don't want another year like the last one."

"Sure Harry I will be happy to," Ceidhli said then jumped up quickly, "but first we need to get the basics out of the way before we can do anything remotely like training." Ceidhli said looking around the smallest room with a smile of her face, her hands on her hips.

"What do you mean by basics?" Harry asked with caution, not really sure about this new bouncy happy woman. The bells in his head were going off in warning, she was acting a lot like the Weasley twins for his liking.

"Well I am not going to live in this small room for the time we are stuck here so we are going to spruce it up a bit nothing really major or anything no tearing down walls and what not."

"Wait, you can't do magic here no one can, the last time I did I almost got expelled and then the first time Dobby the house elf was detected, when he did magic." Harry cried out with the fear of expulsion hanging over his head.

"Don't worry Harry, the Ministry can't register my magic, and it won't register yours when I am around and finished with you. Also the reason Dobby was caught was because he wanted to be caught that's all he pushed his magic out of it would get registered by the minister, smart little bugger if you ask me. I promise that I won't let you get expelled." Ceidhli said calmly putting her hands on his shoulder to reassure him.

"Alright but if I get expelled, I am so telling Merlin on you . . ." Harry looked at Ceidhli for a moment and then they both began to laugh at the thought of talking to the greatest wizard on all time because she got him expelled.

"Okay, so first thing we need to do is get better housing- a bigger room so to speak I mean I ain't going to stay in such accommodations unless I can help it," Ceidhli said the moved around the room simply looking, "I was thinking the modern New York style flat concept for the room, so we can have a kitchen because I really don't want to see your relatives a lot which you can understand right? So lets being, ROOM EXPAND."

As Ceidhli spoke her command the room began to stretch itself out one side then the others followed, Ceidhli and Harry watched the room slowly grow larger, until Ceidhli said, "THANK YOU ROOM I BELIEVE YOU HAVE EXPANDED ENOUGH THANK YOU." The room was now as large as the whole first floor of the Dursleys 's house. Harry felt like running and jumping around the room in excitement when he saw the room expand and there wasn't any owl at the window from the ministry, magic was allowed again.

"Do you like it this size Harry or do you want it larger or smaller?" Ceidhli asked taking in Harry's silence as the tone he didn't like it.

"No this is Great!" Harry exclaimed, "I just never saw magic like that before."

" The magic that I am doing is different than wizardry but don't worry I will teach you. Do you really like the size? Thank the gods that you liked it 'cause I love flats, I really hate being coped up in small spaces so there won't be any real walls but instead we an use Chinese curtains and the beaded walls hanging things- I don't know what they are called but they are really cool. This way we can both have rooms, " Ceidhli explained giving a general idea of what she was going to do. "If I wasn't a Guardian sworn to protect magic and innocents. I would totally be an interior decorator."

Harry simply shook his head not really knowing if she was joking or not, "I don't know if anyone could get her humor bloody hell what are the Dursleys going to do when they meet her for the first time?" (bold words are thinking inside ones head )

"Ceidhli the Dursleys 's won't let you stay here I mean Uncle Vernon doesn't even like me here and I am sort of blood. And what about the Order, I am pissed at them and Dumbledore but they kind of run my life and they won't like you here with me they will probably think you are going to kill me and they wouldn't like that." Harry was beginning to worry he didn't want to say goodbye so soon to Ceidhli she had a way of letting him forget the problems he had to deal with, but unfortunately she was starting to create new ones.

"Harry relax I thought about it already and no one except those you trust will know about me. . ."

"How!" Harry cried out knowing that Ceidhli was not something that he could hide under his bed like his other valuable stuff.

"Well first darling, I am a shape shifter so choose an animal that I can become while living here, one that won't let the Order care about, a dog, or a cat maybe not a dragon or a magical animal they kind of scream 'something is up' 'look at me'." Ceidhli thought for a moment and then started up again finishing her argument with a bang.

"The Dursleys don't know any real magical creature do they? So we will tell them that I am one magical creature that can block your magic signature so you can do magic without getting caught by the ministry. So that will explain your new and improved room and new clothes, " Ceidhli said as an after thought.

"Wow," Harry said not catching the part about the new clothes and Ceidhli didn't say anything to retell him.

"Yes, I am really good at lying to authority figures, it is a gift of mine. I am thinking that it has be genetic because the Potter's were always good at lying, I am thinking it is my mothers genes."

"So the first thing on my list is talking about ourselves. Tell me about yourself Harry your past, so I know what you need to learn." Ceidhli said.

Harry took a deep breath and before he realized it he began telling Ceidhli things that he never told anyone - his childhood at the Dursleys. The childhood that he went through never knowing what real love was, the love of a mother and father or even the love that an aunt and uncle should have for a nephew. He told her about the cupboard, and spiders that plague his early life, he went through grammar school where even though he understood everything he refuse to show it so not to anger Vernon- he learned his lesson two weeks of his first year at school when he returned to Privet Drive with an 'A' while Dudley got a 'D' and was beaten because of that. He never had friends no one wanted to be friends with the freak that angered Dudley and his group of thugs and had weird things happening around him. He explained that he understood what it was like to be a slave and hated for what he was even though he didn't know what he was. He went through ten years of his life being worthless thinking that his parents were worthless . . .

"That was the worst part of it all, the moment that I just believed that they were right about my mum and dad. That they were worthless and drunk I mean I thought my parents should have protected me from the Dursleys and people like them I saw it every day with every other parent and family. I hated that they couldn't protect me like the others had done. And that hurt more than all the beats Vernon and Dudley did to me." Harry said in a harsh whisper looking at his bedside table where a photo of Lilly and James were dancing next to a fountain. ( from the movie Prisoner of Azkaban.) Ceidhli simply sat and let him talk wanting the boy to heal somewhat.

He started speaking about his eleventh year, the year he found the truth about who he was to the world. He explained the letters that tormented Vernon for days until Hagrid entered the picture they both laughed at Dudley's pig tail and sobered up when he explained what Petunia said about his mother, and father. He went through Diagon Alley shopping spree with Hagrid, finding out he was a celebrity in the Wizarding world, riding through Gringotts seeing the vault for the first time and knowing that his parents had prepared somewhat for him in the future. He explained the difficulty that he had finding a wand and how he know carried the brother wand with Voldemort and how Mr. Ollivander scared the shit out of him.

"Don't worry he scares me also." Ceidhli said remembering her own visits with the old man.

Harry nodded and continued his story about meeting Draco for the first time and how Hagrid gave him his first present- Hedwig. Who flew over and rested on his knee allowing the both of them to pet her in different places. Harry explained that Hagrid was the one to tell him about Voldemort and how somehow he stopped him on Halloween as an one year old baby when no one else could and because of that he became the boy-who-lived. He explained that soon after grabbing all the supplies Hagrid had to leave and the rest of the summer was calm the Dursleys ignored him and he ignored them. He spoke of meeting Ron and Hermione for the first time on the train and how he and Ron became quick friends- best friends for the first time in his life he had a place to belong.

He talked about Snape's hatred for him and the fact that he never really understood it and that Snape always enjoyed embarrassing him about potion facts that only Hermione and Draco Malfoy knew. He smiled brightly as he told Ceidhli about his first flying lesson and Malloy's attempts to annoy the Gryffindors and because of that he became the youngest Seeker in over a century. He talked about the Duel he was going to do but it changed when Neville, Hermione, Ron and himself were chanced by Flinch and his blasted cat to the forbidden third floor corridor where they first meet the three headed dog later named 'Fluffy' then came the famous words that Hermione has yet to live down. . . 'I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We all could have been killed- or worse, expelled.' Harry had to stop talking to let Ceidhli's laughter fill the room subside as she heard the infamous words.

He talked about Halloween and the troll that Ron and himself by accident locked Hermione and it in the bathroom together when they tried to save her, and how they became friends when she lied to Professor McGongall and Snape, who wouldn't be friends after fighting a giant mountain troll together and lied about it. Harry went through the first Quidditch game of his career where he was nearly buck off because of a curse that they had thought Snape was behind and what happened after that where Hagrid first let slip the connection between Albus, Nicolas Flamel and Fluffy and soon after their search for who the man was. He talked about his first Christmas at Hogwarts where he was given presents from the Weasleys, Hagrid and then the Invisibility cloak which was his fathers.

He talked about the search through the Restricted Section, and the mirror of Erised where the hearts desire was shown and how Dumbledore found him out and explained the mystery to him. He went through the hardship of Norbert the dragon Hagrid decided to keep and raise and how after convincing and sneaking around they got the baby dragon to go with a few friends of Charlie Weasley who had agree to take the dragon to a reserve in Romania and then how they were caught by McGongall and Flinch and were given detention after a hundred points were taken away. He went on about the detention in the Forbidden Forest where he meet Voldemort for the second time and the centaurs for the first and found that mars was unusually bright. . .

He got through the part where they had found who Nicolas was and what was hidden behind the trap door- the Sorcerer's stone. He explained how Hagrid had goofed up about talking about Fluffy and that they knew that 'Snape' was going to go after the Stone so they went in after the stone hoping that Snape wouldn't get it before they did.

The first obstacle- Devil's Snare where Hermione forgot that she was a witch and was wondering about wood to light a fire with. They went through the flying keys and brooms to the game of Wizard's chess where Ron sacrificed himself for the first time in their friendship and the large lump that rested in his stomach for the rest of the adventure, when he worried about Ron. The next part was Snape's logic part of the maze where Harry was truly thankful that he had Hermione with him because he wouldn't have had gotten past that part without her. The last obstacle and the last surprise who really was helping Voldemort- Quirrell not Snape the greasy git. something that was truly surprising. Ceidhli hugged Harry tightly not disturbing Hedwig as Harry told her how Quirrell explained his plans and deeds, all the while trying to find where Dumbledore hid the stone and how Harry got it instead. He went through the trial with Voldemort talking through the back of Quirrell's head, he talked about how Voldemort talked about what happened to him after Halloween and how his parent's begged for mercy and how if he helped him, he would let Harry see his parents again...

"All evil people do that- when the hero or heroes are captured and stuff the evil dudes always explain what they did to the hero or heroes for some sick pleasure but I don't think they realize that with that extra time they are explaining things they are really giving the hero or heroes time to escape, yet they still do it no matter what century. It's one of the reasons why they always fail and a reason why I will never be evil, 'cause I don't think I could be that stupid. . ." Ceidhli said with a smile.

Harry laughed and then he talked about the fight to keep the stone from reaching Quirrell's hands and how he had killed Quirrell by only touching him through his mother's protection which he still didn't understand all the way. He explained waking up with Professor Dumbledore watching him and then he explained in some details why everything happened- the only answer he didn't even try to answer was why Voldemort was after him Harry explained bitterly.

He talked about the end of the year feast and how they got enough points to knock the Slytherins off the house cup pissing off Malfoy and Snape, about saying goodbye to his first home and best friends and receiving the photo album of his parents so he could look at the first pictures he had of them.

"So ended the first year, and the second year was even more thrilling and dangerous." Harry said and began telling of the second year.

The summer of his 12th year when he believed that Ron and Hermione were ignoring him when no letters were delivered. He spoke of his birthday when he had hid up in his room when the Dursleys had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Mason- his uncle's boss and wife and how at the end of dinner he first met up with the helpful house elf Dobby who said that Voldemort was going to kill him- there is an plan to kill him nothing new. But when he said that he saw still going to go to school Dobby tried to get him kicked out by floating desert and dropped it on the floor allowing it to drop and he then explained he got his first improper use of magic notice.

With that the Dursleys locked him in his room with bars on his window and a cat flap that would allow some food in. Harry had to physically hold Ceidhli down so that she wouldn't attack the Dursleys. He explained that he didn't stay long only three days and then he was rescued by Ron Weasley, the twins and a flying car a Ford Anglia. The rest of the summer he stayed at the Burrow, Ron's home where he finally could relax and have a good break.

Going to Diagon Alley for school supplies was adventure unto it self first the messed up the flew powder and ended up in Knockturn Alley where he saw Lucius Malfoy and Draco and then Hagrid who helped him out of the Alley and back to Diagon Alley and the Weasleys. He came face to face with Gilderoy Lockhart the smiling fool as he called him.

He smiled when he told about his and Ron's ride to Hogwarts in the flying car when the gateway to the platform was closed, they flew towards Hogwarts until dark where they crashed into the Whomping Willow and were attached by the branches and knocked out of the car where it disappeared into the night. From fear of being expelled to having detention and dealing with the HOWLER that Mrs. Weasley had sent them.

"Note to self- never piss her off." Ceidhli said with a smirk at Harry direction.

Harry wrinkled his nose at her and continued to talk. He went on about Lockhart's classes which included the attack of the Cornish Pixies and then the playing out of his books. Harry quickly went into Quidditch and how Malfoy bought his way on to the team with Nimbus two thousand and one- the best and the newest at the time broom, and during this time Malfoy called Hermione a mudblood and Ron tried to curse him but it backed fired on himself again and he kept on spiting out slugs.

Now do to the fact that he and Ron were given detention for breaking the Whomping willow he had to deal with Lockhart and writing his fans back. During this time he began hearing a voice that was talking about killing someone, completely freaking him out.

"Well hearing psycho voices can do that to a person." Ceidhli said as if it was a normal experience.

Harry looked at her for a moment before explaining that he, Ron and Hermione were all invited to Headless Nicholas's Death day celebration on Halloween where he meet up with Moaning Myrtle, Peeves and the headless huntsmen. He went on that after they left the party Harry heard the voice again and together they tried following it and found themselves getting caught with Mrs. Norris petrified and a warning written on the wall- "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened Enemies of the Heir, Beware."(183 HP and the COS American version).

"Can you say over dramatizing," Ceidhli said and Harry laughed and then continued the story.

No one knew what the Chamber was so Hermione went to the source-well professor Binn who explained that the Chambers was a myth that Salazar Slytherin created, and there was a creature- a monster that only his heirs could control. The trio figured that the heir wanted what Slytherin wanted the removal of the muggle-born students from Hogwarts Hermione decided that they would find out who it was, they had suspected Draco Malfoy and they would use Polyjuice potion to get Malfoy to confess, they had to get the book Moste Potente Potions, from the restricted section but conning Lockhart into given them his signature.

While all this was going on a Quidditch had began and well Quidditch wouldn't be Quidditch if he didn't get hurt this time it was a Rogue Bludger, a bludger that Dobby the house elf charmed to hurt him enough to make him go back to the Dursleys. It was there in the hospital wing that Harry heard about the 2nd victim-Colin Creevey. Harry explained that the potion needed things that they really didn't have essence of the people they were going to be- Crabbe, Goyle and a girl from Slytherin and ingredients from Snape's storage room.

Now to get in there Harry had created a diversion during class so Hermione could sneak into the storage room the equation for this diversion was Harry + Filibuster firework + a cauldron of a Slytherin mayhem in the classroom. It took Harry about ten minutes to get Ceidhli to stop laughing when he described what happened next the looks on everyone's faces she thought sounded hysterical.

Ceidhli sobered up quickly as Harry told the part about the Dueling Club when Malfoy conjured a snake that tried attacking a student but Harry had stopped it from attacking but the school discovered that he was a Parselmouth a trait of a dark wizard.

"Dark wizard my ass, when I get my hands on those kids I . . . I . . . I will do something really mean to them." Ceidhli said struggling to figure out what she could do to them all.

Harry gave her a weak smile and a thanks before continuing the story about how the school began closing themselves from him calling him the heir to Slytherin because of his Parselmouth ability and the fact that all the victims were people who annoyed Harry it got really bad Harry explained that he went searching for the student that he got the snake away from him to explain what happened but when he reached the classmate he was petrified along with Sir. Nicolas it was then he was sent to Dumbledore's office where he talked to the sorting hat about his placement in Gryffindor, and watched as Fawkes had his burning day completely freaking him out come on he thought he killed the Headmaster's pet bird then he found out that Fawkes was a Phoenix and that Dumbledore didn't think he was the heir to Slytherin which was a load off his mind.

Christmas came all too soon and the potion in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom was complete. Harry and Ron under the disguise of Crabbe and Goyle found out that unfortunately Malfoy wasn't the heir but the chamber had opened fifty years ago and someone had died because of it. When they returned the boys found out that Hermione had use cat hair instead of human hair which the potion making her go to the hospital wing to get rid of the cat hair eyes and tail. Again Ceidhli wouldn't stop laughing as she pictured the twelve year old Hermione mutated cat person, Harry had too sit on her and cover her mouth with his hand before he could continue before pushing off her and sitting next to her.

After a couple of weeks Ron and Harry went to check on Myrtle who had flooded the bathroom again the reason this time was someone through a book into the bathroom and hit her with it Harry decided to kept it because it was a journal from fifty years ago and someone had to have written in it right?

While this was going on Valentine's Day came around and the dork of Defense decided to torment the school by having singing valentines by really ugly dwarfs wearing diapers and wings. Now if it wasn't that bad if Ginny Weasley hadn't given a valentine to Harry: "His eyes are as green as a Fresh pickled toad, His hair as dark as a blackboard. I wish he was mine, he's really divine, the hero who conquered the Dark Lord." ( page 238 American Version of HP and the COS.

Ceidhli couldn't hold it in she started laughing for the third Harry started the first verse. 'Hahha, eyes . . .ha ha . . . green . . . haha toad!" Ceidhli couldn't even get through a full sentence she was laughing and crying so hard.

"It's not funny I was scared for life!" Harry cried, but this only made Ceidhli laugh even harder. She was laughing so that she actually fell off the bed and was holding her stomach as she was laughing at Harry.

"Oh you want to laugh. . ." Harry quickly jumped off the bed and straddled the laughing woman who struggled to stop laughing when she was being held down by a teenage boy.

"Harry" she started as she continued to hold in her giggles. "What. . .are you doing?"

"Well you want to laugh you can." Harry said sweetly and began to tickle her mercilessly without stopping as she begged him to. This lasted until she did a flap type thing and Harry somehow ended up on the bottom and Ceidhli was the one straddled and had his arms over his head. Ceidhli was about to talk when Harry quickly asked her, "so do you want me to continue?"

Ceidhli looked at him for a moment and then nodded "yeah I will tease you at a later date, you know in front of a lot of people it's called blackmail for a reason." Ceidhli said sweetly and pushed herself off of him and settled down on the bed again and waited for him to get off the floor and continue the story.

"Where was I? Before I talked about the stupid valentine's thing." Harry started quickly as he saw that Ceidhli's eyes were twinkling.

Ceidhli sighed and pouted for a moment before answering him. "The stupid diary thing and who had written in it." Harry nodded and then once again continued.

Well someone did, Tom Riddle a student fifty years ago who knew what happened who saw what happened Harry explained that he was pulled into the diary and watched as Tom Riddle 'solved' the mystery of the monster in the chamber and who controlled it- Hagrid. Which was kinda obvious Hagrid loved scary monsters the worse they were the cuter he thought they were- completely mental.

Somehow during all of this Hermione had figured out something to do with the monster right before the Quidditch but the game was called off and McGongall gave him and Ron the worst news they were ever given- Hermione was petrified. After that Ron and he were on their own with no real clue expect Hagrid they took out Harry's invisibility cloak and went to see Hagrid to get him to them what the hell was happening but it wasn't going to be easy see Hagrid was blamed for the first time and Cornelius Fudge, the minister of Magic blamed him for the second time also. While Fudge was arresting Hagrid Lucius Malfoy pushed his way in with an Order of Suspension for Dumbledore kicking him out of Hogwarts. Dumbledore leaves peacefully saying that he will never truly be gone and Hagrid was also dragged out but first he yelled aloud for Harry and Ron to 'Follow the spiders'.

Follow the spiders. . . Follow the spiders remember never to listen to Hagrid about anything because it will end up bad for you. They had followed the spiders into the Forbidden Forest at night with Fang joining them for some protection Ha he was and still is very much a coward, any way the went deep with in the forest following the spiders when they started to hear something surround them and they did what any self respecting twelve year old would do - they SCREAMED really loudly. Giant Spiders Hagrid had sent them on a quest of find GIANT SPIDERS! One of his pets was Aragod the leader and the father to the Acromantula in the woods now as he started talking- that's right talking spiders we found out that the monster in the chamber wasn't Aragod but something that the acromantula truly feared and they didn't talk about after they talked for moments Aragod said that his children didn't eat Hagrid because he was a friend but he wouldn't make his children go without human meat- so they tried to eat them!

"Really Ceidhli it isn't funny they tried eating us and if the Weasley's car hadn't come we would be dead, eaten . . ." Ceidhli nodded but continued to giggle at the outrage on Harry's face, He was so easy to angry at me this is going to so much fun. ( bold means that she is thinking it in her mind.)

So Harry continued the story once again all the while glaring at her as she let out a single giggle or two. He explained the escape from the forest and how they figured out that the student that was killed fifty years ago was Moaning Myrtle so they decided to ask her what happened to her. All she had heard was a boy talking and then yellow eyes. . .

They had figured that part out but they didn't know what the creature was and they didn't know how to find it out that's where Hermione came in. Harry figured that Hermione would help them even if she petrified because of her they founded out that the creature was a Basilisk and it was traveling through out the school in the pipes. They had gone to figure what to do then but instead found that a student was taken to the chamber- Ginny Weasley her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever.

Not going to happen Ron wasn't going to let his sister die there and nether would Harry so after dinner Harry and Ron went to see Lockhart who was tricked into going into the chamber by Snape and McGongall- work of genius even if it was Snape who did it. We found him packing to leave leaving before he went to help Ginny which wasn't going to fly Lockhart explained that he didn't do anything in his books only erased their memories and took their stories and made them his. Harry and Ron fought him quickly and took the wand and made Lockhart go with them down to the Chamber of Secrets through Moaning Myrtle's bathroom sliding down the pipes.

Down in the outer chamber where the pipes and caverns were Lockhart stole Ron's wand and tried to obliviate them both but being Ron's wand it backed fired and caused an explosion and a cave in that separated Ron and Lockhart from Harry and the Chamber of Secrets- Harry was on his own. Reaching the inside of the Chamber Harry had to open to doors with Parselmouth and inside the chamber he finds Ginny laying on the ground in front of a statue of Salazar Slytherin.

When he couldn't wake her the ghost of Tom Riddle started to talk saying that Ginny was still alive but just barely and explain what he was doing around here, how he took his sixteen year old self and placed his memories in the diary and how he started to write to Ginny to seep her soul and power away from her to allow himself to become solid again and not just a memory. He explained that he and his friends created the name I AM LORD VOLDEMORT from his own real name TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE to leave his old life in the past. Tom couldn't understand how a one year old child defeated him while he a memory could make Dumbledore leave the castle and after Harry said that Dumbledore is never really gone he got reinforcements- Fawkes and the Sorting hat while Tom called forth the Basilisk to attack. THE CHASE the Basilisk chased Harry all around the chamber and after a minute Fawkes attack the Basilisk's eyes allowing Harry to see what he was doing without the fear of dieing by looking into the eyes of the Basilisk; Harry was able to kill to Snake with a sword that the sorting hat released from within its depths but not before the snake was able to put a fang in Harry's arm killing Harry for Basilisk's venom was one of the strongest poisons in the world.

Tom began to mock Harry saying he was weak and such and how he was to die and even the phoenix was crying for his death- Phoenix tears can heal pretty much anything, healed Harry's wound and with the fang from his own arm Harry stabbed the diary killing the memory of Tom SAVING GINNY!

"YEAH! That was close." Ceidhli said excitedly Harry grinned as she was bouncing up and down during the chamber part of the story as if she was truly scared, "wow , you know you should consider selling your story to Hollywood you could make a fortune. " Ceidhli said smiling brightly Harry shook his head and continued the tale ignoring Ceidhli's interruptions again.

Fawkes, the sorting hat, Harry and Ginny were able to leave the chamber and meet up with Ron who explained that Lockhart had no memories together Fawkes flew them out of the chamber up the pipe and back into Myrtle's bathroom where Myrtle was disappointed that Harry was still alive they all walked to Professor McGongall's office where Harry explained what happened to inside the Chamber to the Weasleys and Dumbledore who came back.

Ron and Harry were given Special Awards for Services to the School even though they broke a multitude of rules. Ron, the Weasleys and McGongall left the room allowing Harry and Dumbledore a chance to talk about the similarities between Tom and Harry; their looks, their background but Dumbledore showed Harry that only a true Gryffindor could wield the sword which killed the Basilisk and Harry was a Gryffindor.

Right after that talk Lucius Malfoy entered the room and Harry saw that Dobby was his house elf, Dumbledore explained that the Governor's heard that Ginny was taken and quickly called Dumbledore back into the school. He also said that the person who opened the Chamber the first time opened it again through Ginny Weasley and that Harry had saved her and the school by killing the snake. Lucius looked pissed and said that lets hope he's around to save the school again and Harry said you can count on it. Lucius quickly left and Harry followed after with the ink filled diary in his hand. Harry pushed it into Malfoy's hand and Malfoy in turned gave it to Dobby without knowing that Harry had put a sock in it allowing Dobby to go FREE!

"Let's just say that Lucius wasn't very happy about losing a slave or for getting his butt kicked but a house elf." Harry said smiling at Ceidhli's laughter.

The end of the year feast was a good one the students came in their pajamas and Hermione awoken and was thrilled that the boys had solved it and then Hagrid arrived back from Azkaban it was a good time and the Gryffindors won the house cup second year running because of the 400 points Ron and Harry were given for the rescue of Ginny.
