Harry woke up the morning after the drawing of the Triwizard Tournament in a bit of a fright. That was until he remembered the events of last night, making him both angry at Gryffindor and, once again, lonely. Harry looked around the room seeing the destroyed dummies from last night's release of anger that only made him feel slightly better today.

After deciding he wasn't going to get any more sleep that morning, Harry gets up for the day doing his normal routine. Once he leaves the room he turns around a sees the door disappear, only serving to confuse him even more about the room. After, deciding to add it onto the list of things he was going to talk to Dumbledore about, he left the area to his office.

As Harry arrived he heard people approaching from behind him, not wanting to deal with anyone right now Harry slips on his invisibility cloak. Just as he was able to put it on, Harry sees his former 'friends' turn the corner, walking straight to Dumbledore's office. Harry got even more confused when they know the password to entire, knowing the average student doesn't know it. Harry's curiosity gets the better of him and he follows closely behind.

"Ah, welcome, please sit down. Would either of you care for a lemon drop?" Dumbledore asks Ron and Hermione who both deny. "So, have our plans worked out?"

"Yes, we were able to lead the movement to kick Harry out of Gryffindor last night. It worked extremely well, considering we are his 'best and only mates', no one even batted an eye when we started to accuse him." Hermione replies

"Excellent," Dumbledore exclaims, "Harry will soon turn to me for guidance feeling overwhelmed with the tournament, putting him even further under my control. Now once you do become friends with him again, after you 'realized your errors and beg him to forgive you', you must make sure he doesn't get any mail from Gringotts. It wouldn't do if he learns about his ability to become emancipated, he would no longer be under my control,"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Ron said in a bored tone, "so long as I'm getting my money for putting up with all his whininess, 'oh, poor me I lost my parents pity me. I was abused as a child pity me.' As if."

"So, long as he doesn't go to Gringotts and stays under my control you can have as much money as you want." Dumbledore replies to Ron, "now let's head down to breakfast." Gesturing to the door and getting up himself.

Once they all leave Harry takes off the cloak, not believing what he just heard. Harry almost broke down in tears in his office, but something in Harry knew that wasn't a good idea. Harry was able to leave and went into a nearby abandoned classroom. He ended up balling his eyes out for the next hour and a half before he was all cried out though he just ended up laying there numb, eventually falling asleep.

Harry woke up several hours later. No longer feeling the hurt from their betrayal, only anger at all of the Gryffindor's, especially Ron and Hermione, and Dumbledore. Harry decided to take revenge on all those who have betrayed him, and he didn't care who he hurt along the way.

Deciding to head to the last place anyone would look for him, especially considering he was the only one who could entire it, Harry went to the Chamber of Secrets. He was able to avoided everyone with the use of his cloak and map.

Once inside, Harry started to explore to find out what all was in the chamber. Harry ends up finding a wall with the Slytherin symbol engraved into the stone. After entering it, Harry finds Salazar's private quarters and study. Harry decides to stay start sleeping here, especially since he had no idea where the room he stayed last night was, so he wasn't able to be disturbed by the 'oh so loving Hogwarts student body'.

Harry then heads over to the books in the study, knowing if he was going to survive this tournament and get out of Dumbledore's manipulations, he needed to learn about everything he could. Harry didn't care if it was light, gray or dark, he just wanted to know as much as possible to take revenge and survive the tournament. Picking out a book called 'How to reach your magical core and its importance' he takes it over to the to the bed and starts reading.

Harry soon finds out that by being connected with your magical core, your magic flows much easier and it takes less magic to cast spells, since it doesn't have to waste a little bit every time you cast to understand the spell. Wanting to connect with his core, Harry quickly reads the entire book and gets started on the techniques he learned.

Harry sits on the bed with his legs crossed, his eyes closed and taking deep breaths. After about a half hour of doing this, he is finally able to clear his mind and start searching for his core. Harry ends up searching for two hours before finally finds his core.

When he does find his core, Harry is amazed. His core is the same color as his eyes and the killing curse. Though after he is drawn out of his musing with the color he then takes a look at his core's shape. According to the book, the more in tune with your core you are the smother it is. After looking at his, Harry knew he had a long way to go because it was extremely fuzzy with several leaks in it.

Harry then goes up to the core, the book said, while each person is different, most people are able to slowly connect with it by touching it and feeling it. The reason that is, is because when one is able to grasp the feel of their core, they are able to connect with it. Though when Harry touched his something very strange happened to both him and his core.

Harry started to glow the same color while all the leaks started to focus into the same point before moving towards Harry. Feeling very scared at this point, Harry tries to pull his hand away from his core, only to find out that it is stuck. Next thing he knows the combined leaks end up hitting him, Harry feels a rush of power before it quickly leaves him.

Harry ends up getting knocked out from this, falling onto the bed.
