Disclaimer: I wish I did! But I do not own Harry Potter

AN: To some people who didn't understand it Ginny was forced to either stay in the protection place until she was 17 or the war was over, and I've always thought that Ginny was powerful and she does not think she can put the fate of the world on her shoulders, but will if she believes she can help and succeed. She has confidence but not " I'm all powerful I can do anything kind of girl", she was just having her moment of doubt. Just an answer to one of my comments.

Chapter 2: Waking up

HPOV

I woke up the next morning wondering where I was I haven't been in a bed this comfortable since Hogwarts almost two years ago. I opened my eyes quickly alert because I felt a strong surge of magic coming from somewhere but it wasn't coming from a certain place more like all around me. I opened my eyes and then cautiously looked around wand in the air.

"Harry! Wake up mate well be late for class!" said Ron wait Ron! He's alive what's going on! Then he saw the wand.

"Okay fine I'll wake you up later, but don't blame me when you get detention for being late." he said

I just rolled my eyes and then it hit me. The ritual!

"Okay mate I'll be ready in five minutes'' I said sleepily trying to sound twelve, and failing, I sounded tired, like I hadn't slept in weeks. Thankfully he didn't notice. He is thick. I thought and chuckled mentally.

I got up and looked in the mirror yup I was twelve again. God I was scrawny! I looked at Ron.

"Hey, mate what's the year?" I asked

"Uhhhh… its 1999? (A/N This is the right year right?) Why? Are you feeling ok?" he said Okay maybe not that thick.

"Ya, weird dream is all." I lied

"Okay, what was it about?" he said. Okay maybe he doesn't believe me. Oh, I know how to shut him up.

"Tap dancing spiders" I said with an evil grin on my face. And at the mention of spiders he visibly paled and replied.

"O…O..Okay then never mind." He was immediately uncomfortable. But then I used my wandless magic, and conjured a spider on his shoulder.

"Mate, stop poking me" he said

"I'm not poking you I'm over here" I said

"Then what's n my shoulder" he asked then he looked on his shoulder and screamed.

"Ahhhhhh! Get it off, Get it off!" he ran around the room, by the time he slapped it off. I was rolling on the floor laughing, tears on my face.

"Its not funny!!!" he yelled his face Weasley red. "It could have killed me!"

At the word killed I stopped laughing, stood and said "Don't joke about that" I probably said it more serious that I should have., but death was now an even more touchy subject for me. I also remembered why I was here to save everyone. And today was the day Ginny got dragged into the chamber I suddenly remembered. Maybe this time I can stop it. I smiled at Ron to show him I was okay and said

"Well I could eat a hippogriff right about now, lets get breakfast." and at the mention of food he perked up and ran through the door. I chucked at the sight and followed him out. Same old Ron

When we finally got down to the Great Hall another wide grin flouted over my face as I saw all the people that died in the war alive again. They are NOT going to die again, not on my watch I thought. I sat down at the end of the table and about 5 minutes later Percy came and sat down in front of me. Then I remembered that Percy didn't sit down this day until Ginny came and tried to tell us about the chamber. What's going on? Where is she?

"Hey Perce, have you seen Ginny lately?" and after the strange look he gave me I quickly added "You know how dangerous it is without Dumbledore here and the attacks." he nodded in understanding.

"Ummm….. Actually no I haven't ,she probably slept in she always does that." Thou it seemed he was trying to convince himself more than me. He always sounded so formal like an Auror or an order member or heck the Minister. Wait. That's it! Percy wants to be Minister of Magic! That's why he was against us when Voldemort came back.

"Hey, Perce have you ever thought of being Minister of Magic?" I asked him and at the mention of it he said

"How did you know that was my goal?" he said with a smile on his face even Ron looked up from stuffing his face.

"That's what you want to do?" Ron asked clearly surprise at the fact. Had they never paid attention to Percy to not even know what he wanted to do with his life after Hogwarts? As I looked back at it I realized that through out the whole time I knew him he was always the black sheep of the family. Before Voldemort came back he was always in his room studying, and after that he always at the ministry or at his flat. That's probably why he left, no support from his family. But Percy responding to Ron's question brought him back to reality.

"Yes Ronald," he said

"You never told us," he responded

"You never asked," Percy said with no emotion in his voice but it was clear he was hurt by the fact that no one ever asked about what his career choice or ambition was.

"I think you would make a great Minister." I cut in not wanting them to start fighting.

"Really?" he asked a little hope in voice and clearly enjoying how someone supported him.

"Of course" I reassured him, yes it might have been the lack of support that drove a wedge between him and his family.

"I agree with Harry," Ron spoke up, both Percy and I where both surprised by his words

"Really?" Percy said also touched that his brother believed in him.

"Yes." he said and started mouthing down his food again. Maybe I can change a lot of things.

Percy was about to respond when Snape threw the Hall doors wide open getting everyone's attention. He simply ignored them and went up to the headmistress which was currently McGonagall . He spoke to him in hushed tones it seemed and no one heard him. Then she stood up and called the teachers to come with her.

"Wonder what that's about," said Ron

"Yeah, I wonder" I lied I knew exactly what it was about. It was about the Chamber and how Ginny was taken into it. No this was suppose to happen later! This was one of the things I was gong to stop! 'I guess there are some things you just can't change' a little voice in my head said I called it the 'Hermione' voice it always told me to study and do my homework and stop messing around. I just hope I'm wrong.

I was about to ask Ron about Ginny, like I did with Percy, but got interrupted by McGonagall's firm voice etched with worry echoed through the Hall.

"Students. Please follow your Head of House to your towers to pack you bags I'm afraid Hogwarts is closing." she took a deep breath and said " for good." she finished solemnly. Then a silence of shock filled the Hall.

After the moments of shock wore off a little first year Hufflepuff spoke up.

"W…W..Why?" she said

"It seems that a student has been taken by the monster into the chamber itself." she said her worry showed in both her voice and her face.

"Who." asked a 3rd year Ravenclaw boy.

Please no. I thought

"Ginny Weasley." she said.

"No." all the Weasley boys whispered.

"Weasleys please come with me to the Headmasters office, and we will floo your parents." she said and all the boys got up and followed her shock and despair written on their faces.

As McGonagall passed the Head boy she asked them to escorted every Gryffindor to the tower to pack.

"All Gryffindors please follow me." he said loudly to us all. Great this is my chance to escape to the Chamber. Luckily I had packed my invisibility cloak in my book bag this morning incase I needed it.

Everyone was busy worrying about how the school was closing and that someone was possibly already dead in the chamber. So no one notices me hid behind the statue and throw my invisibility cloak over myself and run the opposite direction. Once I got to the bathroom I check to see if anyone was there and went inside.

I took off my invisibility cloak and stepped in when I did I immediately started looking for the snake on the handle I was about to open it when…

"Hello Harry, come to visit so soon?" said a dreamy ghost voice

"Myrtle! Startled me, ummm. Cant talk now, I'm kind of in a hurry" I really didn't walk to stop to talk to her, Ginny my love my lives, live is a stake here.

"Oh, yes no one ever has time for ugly, stupid, glasses wearing MOANING MYRTLE!!" she said dramatically and wailed and flushed herself down the toilet without giving me a moment to respond.

Then I took the opportunity to turn back to the sink and hiss, "Open" I stepped back as the sink rearranged itself and when it did I didn't waste a second to jump in and land on the cold, wet, fish gut filled floor. I forgot how gross it was down here.

I got up and hurried down the long slimy pipe. Once it got to thenext opening I hissed "Open" but it didn't work "Open up" he tried again maybe this time the passwords different then I remembered what Tom said last time to get the Basilisk to come out "Speak to me Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts Four." then it finally opened, and I ran in. When I did I saw it, Ginny, her body sprawled out and looking dead. I ran to her and knelt down beside her, she looked even worse than last time, please don't let it be too late.

"Please wake up Ginny, please don't be dead." I kept repeating over and over again until I heard….

"She won't wake," said the voice of a boy, I knew too well.

"Tom Riddle," I said my voice spitting acid, then I remembered that my twelve year old self didn't know much so I had to play dumb.

"Yes. Potter its me." he said with the same laugh that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

"Are you a ghost?" I asked just like the last time

"No I'm a memory preserved in a diary for fifty years." he said quietly

"Well what are you doing down here if you live in the diary? Wait does Ginny have the diary? She not dead is she?" I said frantically, I'm a good actor. I thought to myself.

"Well you catch on quick don't you? And no she's alive but just barely." he seemed surprised that I caught on so quick. Well watch out Voldie your in for a lot of surprises.

"While were talking may I ask what happened to Ginny, what did you do?" I asked him

"How do you know I did anything?" he asked innocently

"Well where do I start? You're here, she has the diary in her pocket, and your stalling and acting innocent, badly I might add."

"Well what does it matter you'll die soon anyway." he said

"Well what makes you think I'm going to die and even if I am, I want to know how." I said annoyed that I was wasting time talking.

"I'll tell you if you tell me how a weak little child could defeat the most powerful wizard in the world." he spat.

"I'm sorry I don't remember killing Albus Dumbledore". I said cocking my head to the side stupidly.

"Ignorant child, I'm taking about Lord Voldemort was and is the most amazing sorcerer in the world." he said.

"If he was so powerful why's he gone? And why do you care Voldemort was before your time." I said

"Lord Voldemort is my past present a future." he said and he used my wand (How did he get that without me knowing) to write

Tom Marvolo Riddle

In the air. Just like last time, he rearranged them to spell….

I am Lord Voldemort

"Voldemort." I said trying my best to sound shocked.

"Yes, now I think we've had enough time for chat, It time for you to show what you can do, what ha the measly Albus Dumbledore has shown you that can show up the Greatest Sorcerer in the world!" he said.

"Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world!!" I said getting extremely angry, my hands balling into fists at my sides. I was now standing and enraged.

I heard soft relaxing music coming from through the pipe. Fawkes I thought.

Then as always he came through and dropped the Sorting Hat in my hands. Great. I attempted to pull the sword out but, I couldn't find it. Oh, Merlin I'm going to have to put on my head and get hit again aren't I? I did and I felt a very heavy object fall on my head and I started seeing stars but I stayed conscious. I took the hat off and pulled out the sword.

I quickly was brought back to my senses when I heard hissing coming from my left. Oh no!

I looked over to see Tom calling the Basilisk I really didn't think this through. I though as the basilisk emerged from its resting place.

Here we go. I quickly dodged the basilisks swing at me and made a swing at it with my sword. Luckily I trained as much as I could with martial arts when I was "17" , but not with a sword. Then I heard it hiss in pain, I looked up to see Fawkes once again destroying its eyes.

"Leave the bird you can still smell him kill him!" Tom yelled at it.

It lunged at me with its mouth wide open. It missed me but not the sword. It slit the side of its mouth wide open. I looked down at the sword in shock and saw that the whole blade was covered with blood but more importantly venom. Then I saw it still squirming with its head lashing everywhere. It tried again but this time it came straight down and the blade went right through it through killing it almost instantly.

"No matter, I prefer it this way just you and me, a battle to the death." Tom said not noticing Fawkes drop the diary at my feet.

"Ya, I guess your right Tom, but guess what?" I said with a coy smile.

"What and why are you smiling, wait what are you doing NOOOO!!!!" he said as I plunged the venom covered sword into the diary.

I heard a horrible shriek as the Horacrux in it was being destroyed.

"I win" I said as he disappeared completely

Once it was all completely gone I collapsed on the ground breathing heavily. Oh God Ginny! I got up and ran towards her and repeated

"Ginny wake up, wake up!" in her ear.

"Please be okay Ginny, Please be okay" I whispered. Caressing every inch of her face in the process. Why wont she wake? I did everything I slayed the basilisk, I killed the Horacrux. God this sounds like a fairy tale the only this I haven't done is…

"Kiss the fair maiden awake." I said to myself 'God this is cheesy' and I leaned my lips down to hers and kissed her softly. A few moments later I felt her respond and I pulled back, and I looked down into those big brown beautiful eyes that I had longed to see since I left for the war.

"Harry," she whispered
