A/N: Just watched the HP2 Movie 3 times. Don't worry it help me get my story line. I don't own anything.
Chapter 9 Chamber
McGonagall walked into the Gryffindor tower and announced, "Second years are to sign up for a minimum of two extra classes from the following: Arithmancy, Divination, Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures, and Muggle Studies. I have your class forms. Please take them and fill them in, you have an hour to decide."
Lelouch and C2 went and picked up their forms. Lelouch thought about his options. Arithmancy will work, Divination is a load of crap, Ancient Runes must have to do with C2's world, Care of Magical Creatures is strange, and Muggle Studies would be useless since I've lived with Muggles my whole life. Lelouch put down Arithmancy and Ancient Runes. C2 wrote Divination and Care of Magical Creatures. They handed in their forms. Lelouch just wanted his 6th year to roll around so he could take only the classes he wanted to take. Until then, he had to hunt down the Heir of Slytherin.
Lelouch actually went to the Quidditch game to check out the other Gryffindors. He carefully memorized precisely those who were in attendance, when suddenly, it was announced that the game had been canceled. It turned out that Hermione and a Ravenclaw girl, whose name Lelouch didn't bother to remember, had been Petrified. Curses, Lelouch thought, the Heir got to her before I could ask her to check the girl's dormitories. Lelouch walked down to the bottom of the girl's dormitories.
"Accio Tom Riddle's Diary." He spoke. Nothing happened.
"Well, before Hagrid left, he told us that if anyone was looking for anything, he said to follow the spiders." Harry explained.
"Let's go then." Lelouch said, taking Harry, C2, and Ron towards the Forbidden Forest, following a line of spiders. They walked far into the Dark Forest. Ron and Harry kept looking around. It was night by the time they started reaching a hollow. Lelouch noticed spiders all around. They arrived at a massive hole when they heard a noise, like the sound of a giant spider crawling up, which it was.
"Who is it?" The thing asked.
"We're friends of Hagrid." Harry replied.
"Hagrid has never sent friends here before."
"That's why we've come; he's in trouble and thinks you can help." Harry told.
"They think Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets this time and fifty years ago." Lelouch explained.
"That's a lie. They thought I was the monster and Hagrid had set me free."
"So what is the monster then?" Lelouch asked.
"We do not speak of it. The girl who died was found in a bathroom. As for the creature, I tried to flee the castle when it moved around, but Hagrid prevented me. I came from a traveler who traveled here. Hagrid cared for me. I commanded my children never to attack Hagrid."
"Thank you, we'll just be on our way then." Harry said.
"I think not, I cannot deny my children fresh food when it wanders so willingly into our midst. Goodbye friends of Hagrid." Aragog finished.
The spiders began attacking on all sides. Lelouch mainly used Stupefy while the others climbed into the car that had appeared. Ron drove off, getting attacked several times in their retreat to the edge of the woods. They walked back into the castle talking.
"Hey guys, remember how he said that the girl had died in a girl's bathroom, what if she never left? What if it's Moaning Myrtle?" Harry spoke.
The idea ran true in Lelouch's mind. That had to be it. They ran up to the Gryffindor common room, but they had to be sneaky getting in, so no one would notice they'd left, even with the Invisibility cloak, it was hard. He'd heard that they were finishing the Mandrake Potion tomorrow night, so that the people would be unpetrified. Lelouch was relieved that Suzaku could tell him what happened.
The next day, the group went over to check on Suzaku and Hermione. They went in. Harry and Ron had noticed that Hermione had a paper in her hands. They read about a Basilisk and how it has a murderous stare.
"All of it lines up. The spiders, the dead roosters, the reason why Harry can hear it, it all makes sense. No one died because they looked at it indirectly. The Heir of Slytherin, who would speak Parseltongue, would be the only one to control it. The only way it could get around though, is the plumbing system." Lelouch stated excitedly.
They headed to the staff room to inform McGonagall at once.
"All students are to return to their dormitories. All teachers to the staff room, immediately." They heard McGonagall boom.
The four ran, picking up Nunally on the way and explaining the situation. They hid from the teachers and listened.
"A student has been taken into the Chamber itself."
"Who?" Hooch asked.
"Ginny Weasley." McGonagall stated.
Ron gasped loudly. None of the teachers noticed however.
Just then Gilderoy Lockhart burst in.
"Just the man I wanted to see. A girl has been taken into the very Chamber itself. You were saying the other day that you knew where it was the whole time." McGonagall mentioned.
"Yes, I'll go. I just need to go to my office to…. Get ready." Lockhart said running to his office.
"Let's go help." Harry said.
The five went into his office, talking about the Chamber. Lockhart said he was going somewhere.
"You're a fraud." Lelouch said intently.
"I'll just have to erase your memories now." Lockhart said, pulling out his wand, but there were four wands pointed directly at him. Nunally didn't have hers up, she was listening for anyone coming to the office.
"You're coming with us." Lelouch said, prodding him with the wand. They made their way to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Moaning Myrtle came over.
"Oh, hello Harry."
"Hi, Myrtle. Could you tell us how you died?"
"It was dreadful. It was in this very stall. I was crying. Then I heard someone come in. When I realized it was a boy, I unlocked my door and told him to go away. Suddenly, I died. I saw two giant yellow eyes, right over there, next to that sink."
"How terrible." Nunally mumbled.
Lelouch and Harry examined the group of sinks, noticing a snake on the side of one.
"Say something in Parseltongue." Ron said.
Harry spoke and the whole thing began to move. They forced Lockhart to go first. Lelouch told Nunally to stay. He couldn't risk it. She kept watch over them. The five made their way down the pipe into the pre-Chamber area. They looked around at the bones.
"This way." Harry beckoned. They walked on. Lockhart collapsed at the sight of the giant snake skin. Lockhart then grabbed Ron's wand.
"Say good bye to your memories. Obliviate." Lockhart said, blasting himself against the wall. The walls and ceiling began to break apart. Enough rocks fell as to make it very difficult for Harry, C2, and Lelouch to get back.
"Clear the way, we'll be back." Harry told Ron.
The three walked on to the real opening of the Chamber. Harry began speaking Parseltongue, telling it to open up. It did as he commanded, and they looked into the Chamber.
"Remember, at the first sign of movement, close your eyes." Harry warned.
Lelouch rolled his eyes. Does he think I'm a two year old, sheesh. They continued into the Chamber itself. Harry saw Ginny and ran toward her. Lelouch kept on his toes, watching for the Basilisk. Nevertheless, Lelouch and C2 walked towards Ginny, still looking around.
"She's alive, but just barely." Harry told them. "Come on Ginny, wake up."
A boy stepped out of the dark, and said, "She won't wake."
Lelouch had already been looking over there. There's something fishy about him, never seen him before in my life.
"You're Tom Riddle? What are you, a ghost?" Harry asked. Lelouch and C2 stepped into the shadows, out of Riddle's view. He hadn't seen them in the first place.
"No, a memory from fifty years ago."
Lelouch noticed a diary, probably the one Harry had mentioned that said that Hagrid was the Heir of Slytherin.
"Help me get her out, Tom," Harry pleaded. "There's a basilisk in here somewhere. It could come by any time."
"It only comes when called."
Tom had taken his wand and was playing with it.
"Give me back my wand." Harry commanded.
"You won't need it." Tom replied.
Lelouch and C2 moved through the shadows silently. Lelouch figured his Geass wouldn't work since he's just a memory and doesn't have a brain.
"I've waited a long time to take to you, the famous Harry Potter." Tom Riddle told him.
"How could this happen to Ginny?" Harry asked.
"She spilt some of her silly little secrets to a diary." Tom explained. "That's right, my diary. She poured some of her secrets into me, so I gave her a few of mine."
"What?" Harry asked, while Lelouch and C2 moved a bit closer.
"Ginny opened the Chamber of Secrets, strangled the roosters, wrote threatening messages on the wall, and set out the Basilisk on five Mud bloods, and on the Squib's cat."
"That's not possible." Harry said.
"At first she didn't realize it, but after a while, she grew distrustful. She tried to dispose of me, but fortunately, the very person I wanted to meet, picked it up."
"Me?"
"Yes, you. Because of your history, I knew I had to find out more about you, meet you if possible. After unmasking Hagrid, I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the Chamber while in school, so I left my memory in a book, so that later someone else could do it." Tom said.
"No one's dead this time. The potion will be ready soon, and everyone who was Petrified will be good again."
"Haven't I told you? Killing Mudbloods doesn't matter to me, my new target is you."
Lelouch and C2 were almost next to Tom. The two kept talking back and forth about a guy named Moldyshorts or something. Lelouch heard a phoenix come into the Chamber.
"This is what Dumbledore sends his mighty defender, a songbird and an old hat." Tom said.
Lelouch got his plan together when he heard the Basilisk released. The Basilisk moved past Lelouch, going after Harry, who felt like he was abandoned.
"Hey!" Lelouch yelled; the Basilisk turned towards him, lunging toward him. C2 jumped in the way of the Basilisk. "Lelouch vi Britannia commands you, die!" Lelouch looked up at the very end, to see the Basilisk's yellow eyes. The Basilisk tried to refuse, but in the end, it died nonetheless.
"How dare you! How could you look into the eyes of the Basilisk and survive?" Tom questioned.
Lelouch stared at him intently. Harry ran up, pulling Gryffindor's sword out of the hat.
"Kill the diary." Lelouch commanded, without the aid of his Geass. Harry stabbed the book with the sword of Gryffindor.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tom Riddle yelled, disappearing into nothing. "My future self will get you."
Suddenly Ginny woke up. She kept apologizing and worrying. They walked over to the diary and picked it up. The four walked out to meet Ron and Lockhart. Ron was thrilled to see his sister alive. Fawkes pulled them out of the Chamber with little effort. They walked out, Nunally hugged Lelouch. They went over to Dumbledore's office. They explained the whole ordeal to the teachers, the Weasleys, and Dumbledore. Lelouch and C2 along with Ron and Harry had been awarded points and special services to the school awards. When they saw Suzaku, they went to the feast and ate and talked. Lelouch told the story of the Chamber, correctly, not like the way Ron was telling it. Suzaku went up to McGonagall and told her he'd take Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures. Dumbledore announced that exams had been canceled. Lelouch was mildly upset because he wanted to see Hermione's face when she saw his scores.
Lelouch was pondering where they would live over the summer while they ate.
"You think we could stay at school over the summer?" Suzaku asked.
"Maybe. Hey, Nunally." Lelouch replied.
"Yeah?" Nunally responded.
"Could you ask Professor McGonagall if we can stay over the summer?" Lelouch asked.
"Sure." Nunally said, C2 guiding her to McGonagall. Lelouch watched them chat and come back.
"She says she'll make an exception. It'll be all to ourselves and the staff." Nunally told them.
"Great, thanks so much, sister." Lelouch said. "Now to start studying."
Suzaku rolled his eyes.
A/N: Thanks guys for reading. A rather quick-ish ending, but it's a short book. I'll include the sequel in this story too.
