Chapter 14: Secrets of the Past
The three girls sat in front of Percy and Penelope. There was an awkward silence.
"Can you please keep it a secret." Said Percy.
"It's the twins isn't it?" asked Hina.
"Keep this a secret from them." Said Percy.
"Okay." Said Maya.
"Of course." Said Ginny.
"Whatever…" said Hina.
The three of them left the room, promising not to tell anyone what they saw… especially Fred and George. They headed down the hall, when Hina brought up something important.
"You know this doesn't change the fact we're going to have that talk." Said Hina.
That was when they came across Snape and Robin having a talk.
"I understand that he embarrassed you… but does that really necessitate killing him?" asked Robin.
"I don't care, I'm tired of him." Muttered Snape.
"Still killing him." Said Robin.
That was when they noticed that the three were staring at them.
"We'll leave." Said Ginny.
"And pretend we never heard this conversation." Said Maya.
They walked away once again…
"As Hina was saying." Said Maya.
That's when they came across yet another distraction, Gilderoy and Marguerite talking about what happened in the great hall.
"Why won't you go out with me?" asked Gilderoy.
"Because you're a fake." Explained Marguerite.
"I have no idea what you mean." Said Gilderoy.
"You might get away if your good looks with Witches, but I'm not a witch, I'm a Kuja and a Pirate." Said Marguerite, "I'm not an idiot."
That's when they noticed the three staring at them.
"Let's continue this conversation elsewhere." Sighed Marguerite.
The two of them left.
"What an odd hallway" said Maya.
"I don't think we're going to have conversation… are we?" asked Hina.
"I don't think so…" said Ginny who was revealed that the conversation was avoided because of a very strange series of events.
With Haru, he decided to write in the diary.
"Hello?" he wrote as an experiment.
That was when the ink was sucks away.
"Hello there." Responded the book in writing.
Haru's eyes widened, he then wrote, "Who are you?"
"My name is Tom Marvolo Riddle." Responded the diary.
"Can I call you T.M?" asked Haru.
"Why?" responded Tom.
"I already have a friend named Tom… and if I call you Tom I might get confused." Said Haru.
"I'm fine with it, the name reminds me of my father who I hate." Wrote Tom… err… T.M.
"Someone has Daddy Issues." Wrote Haru.
"What was that?" wrote T.M.
"Well you do." Wrote Haru.
"And what is your name?" asked T.M.
"The name's Monkey D. Haru, where I raised the family name comes first." Wrote Haru.
"Your family name is Monkey?" asked T.M.
"Yeah." Responded Haru.
"That's weird." Responded T.M.
That was when Haru wrote.
"Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?" wrote Haru.
"I was the one that found the culprit." Wrote T.M.
"Who was it?" wrote Haru.
"I will show you… but are you alone?" asked T.M.
Haru looked around.
"Yes, I am." He wrote.
That was when soundly he was pulled into the diary.
It was weird in he was in the Hogwarts of the past. That was when he saw some taking out of a body out of a certain girl's room, as he watched a rather handsome teenaged boy watch. That was when the boy saw a younger version of Dumbledore.
"So he's a red head." Said Haru noticing the younger version of Dumbledore's red hair.
"What happened?" asked the boy.
"I'm afraid the attacks have escalated." Said the younger Dumbledore, "It appears the school will close."
"What!" yelled the boy.
"I'm afraid Tom that you'll have to return to your orphanage." Sighed the younger Dumbledore.
The boy who was obviously T.M. sighed, "This place is like a home to me… much more than that Orphanage. Is there is any way to prevent the school from closing?"
"Only if the perpetrator of these attacks are found, but alas it looks that indeed the school will close." Said the younger Dumbledore.
"I see…" said T.M.
Haru got a strange chill when T.M. said that…
That was when the scene shifted to a dark place, T.M. yelling at a student.
"That's the Monster of Slytherin! Isn't it?" asked T.M.
"No it isn't! He's never hurt anyone!" shouted the person.
Haru recognized the person immediately, the accent (which this author is too lazy to write) and even the tone.
"Hagrid…" whispered Haru, but Haru felt that Hagrid was innocent… framed by someone. Being a pirate and knowing stories about frame ups… he felt it.
He watched as a large spider scurried away.
Haru then found himself in the present.
"Now you know what happened." Wrote T.M.
"I believe you have the wrong person." Wrote Haru.
"What do you mean?" asked T.M.
"I know all about Hagrid's love of well… monsters…" wrote Haru, "He's a pet dragon that act like a dog… and I even met his giant three headed dog Fluffy. When you found him I'm sure someone framed him."
"Oh really… what makes you sound confidante…" wrote T.M.
"Well my late uncle Ace was executed just because his father was the first pirate king, my father's crewmember Robin is wanted just because she can something called Ponegliff, another member of my father crew Franky is wanted just because he burned blue prints, yet another named Usopp is wanted because he burned a flag and even my own father earned his first bounty just because he pissed off a corrupt Marine." Wrote Haru, "All of them didn't deserve such punishments."
"…" responded T.M, "Where did you grow up?"
"In another world." Wrote Haru.
"I see…" wrote T.M, "One filled with pirates, my father is the King of the Pirates."
Haru laughed and closed the book, he had just alienated the book.
Sometime later in the common, room Yosopp was teasing Ron with a case full of spiders while the other Straw Hats kids (minus Haru) watched and Hermione ignored it by reading.
"Get those away from!" shouted Ron.
"What are you doing?" asked Haru.
"Teasing Ron, he's a afraid of Spiders." Laughed Yosopp.
"Where did you get them?" asked Haru.
"It's been weird, the spiders have been scurrying out of windows in a weird way. I managed to catch a few." Said Yosopp.
"And yet he's been teasing Ron." Said Nojiko.
"It's not funny." Said Kaien.
"Why are you coming to my defense?" asked Ron.
"Both of my parents are scared of spiders." Said Kaien.
"Wait… Sanji's scared of spiders… he struck me as the type to not be afraid of anything." Said Ron.
"No that's Zoro… dad's afraid of two things, spiders and cross dressers." Said Kaien.
Ron raised an eyebrow on that one.
"Why cross dressers?" asked Ron.
"It's a long story…" sighed Kaien, "That I'm not allowed to tell unless we're on a certain island."
"Okay…" said Ron somewhat disturbed by that information.
"Hey Ron, Hermione." Said Haru, "Can I talk to you."
Hina cleared her throat.
"Oh… and Hina too." Said Haru knowing he owed Hina after he accidently let her out of the final loop last time.
They headed to the boy's dorm to talk.
"So you found out more about what happened?" asked Hermione.
"Hagrid was the one who was blamed last time, and the person who really released the monster took advantage of it and stopped." Explained Haru.
"How did you find this out?" asked Hermione.
"I found it though the diary." Said Haru.
"Diary?" asked Hina who sighed, "You know… I'm going to skip out of this adventure this time around… I'm going to get Maya and find Ginny…"
"I guess she knew she wasn't enough in the loop." Said Haru with a shrug.
Haru began to explain what happened to them. About what he saw though the diary and how he believed Hagrid was innocent .
"Okay I get Robin, Franky and Usopp's but I don't get Luffy's…" said Ron.
"There was a deal between the marine and a pirate that my dad beat." Said Luffy.
He would have continued but Hermione interrupted him, "Are you sure that Hagrid was framed?"
"Why would Hagrid attack Zoro? They're drinking buddies." Said Haru.
Both of them remembered that indeed it was true, Hagrid and Zoro were drinking buddies.
"Who ever the real Heir is, their parent or grand parent was the one that did it." Said Haru, "And we have to stop him or her."
"But the attacks have already stopped." Said Hermione, "Are you sure we have to do something?"
Haru sighed and flopped down on his bed. "You're right… let's just relax for now and see if anything happens."
Little did they know that by the end of the year everything would change…
Next Time: Everything has been fine for a few months, but there was another attack! And things get worse when it was a triple attack! Haru and Ron try to get some info from Hagrid while the Straw Hats fight with Dumbledore over what to do... But things become even worse when a certain pure blooded wizard gets involved.
