Please review... i need some cheering up...
The basilisk hissed, its tail getting closer to Harry's head but its attention focused on the soaring phoenix.
Screaming, Tom Riddle's memory yelled at the snake desperately commanding it to kill the boy.
The beast turned; from nowhere, Tom saw the glint of a ruby embedded in a sword that in his future he would seek but not find, a sword that would stay locked away in Dumbledore's office, try as he might to gain it.
The ruby flashed. The basilisk fell.
As the orphaned boy became defenseless once again, his sword stuck in the dead snake, Tom's spirits rose.
