Hey thanks a lot dudes! The reviews are once again appreciated:) Alright so let's hope that this is the second last chapter so we can move on the good stuff! Lol. Let me know anyway what ya think and I shall talk 2 ya soon:)

"Alright Minerva I need you to send a message to the ministry ordering Dumbledore's release. Tell them that the Chamber of secrets has been brought to a head and that Albus is a vital asset to us now. Hagrid, you round up as many professors here. Alert them to the present situation. Getting will be the easy part but…..we may need all the help we can get getting out." Sirius said glumly as he smiled sadly.

"Sirius do be careful wont you?" McGonagall anxiously related to her former student.

"Worried about me Minerva?" Sirius asked laughing a little. "Don't worry…….we will be fine."

"Alright well we best be off……see ye down there later?"

"Ya can count on us James. We won let ya down." Hagrid stated defiantly. James smiled at him.

"Thanks Hagrid. I know we can depend on you when there's a time of crisis." He smiled proudly at James.

"Alright you lot we better get going….." Remus said rounding up the kids.

"Rob, Ron, and Hermione go on out ahead….." The three of them obeyed Sirius as James escorted them out of the office and down the stairs. Remus went after him as Sirius turned back saying……

"Oh Hagrid…..you might get Lockhart over to us too. The lazy git should at least be accountable for something….."

"Right ya ar Sirius. Well be down in a few minutes……"

"Alright come on Harry. Let's go kid." They shared a smile before Sirius and Harry left.

"Well what is the plan Sirius?" James asked as he climbed down the last step with Harry in front.

"The plan? I have no idea James mate……all I know is that we all need to get over to that bathroom and fast. We can see from there what the best solution is….."

"Ill go down first Sirius……"

"What? No you won't Harry……"

"But dad…..its me he's after……"

"James is right Harry. You cannot go down first. Lockhart will the lazy git……"

"But….."

"Harry no arguments alright? Lockhart is meant to be your defence teacher after all….."

"Exactly. Then Ill go down after him then you Harry okay?" James said. Harry nodded.

"Ron you go after Harry……Rob you follow……"

"Ill go with Hermione Sirius….."

"Well I thought it would be best for you to go after Rob Remus. You know just incase Lockhart does anything queer….."

"Well you went last year Sirius…." Remus mused smiling at him.

"Oh you are all heart Remus mate. But really its alright. You go before me….."

"Are you certain?"

"Yes I am positive….."

"Oh Sirius you are all still here….." Minerva said hurriedly.

"Yes of course. We weren't going to go without…..Lockhart."

"Oh yes of course…..well I knew perfectly well that the entrance was here all along…."

"Well why didn't you say something?" Sirius asked impatiently.

"Well I didn't want to sound precocious now did I Sirius?" He asked smirking at him.

"No of course not." Sirius replied in a forced polite tone.

"Well…..once Harry says the password in parstle tongue the chamber entrance will open and one by one we descend. Is that clear Lockhart?"

"Yes James of course." Gilderoy answered looking petrified.

"Okay….Minerva when we give the signal you and your……colleagues conjure some ropes or something please."

"Yes of course Sirius…."

"Do be careful Black. Wouldn't want you to get injured down there….."

"Snape for once remove your head from your ass and think rationally here. I am Sirius Black……the immortal Sirius Black. Savvy?" Sirius retorted to a very disgruntled Snape. McGonagall, Hagrid, Flitwick and others laughed quietly.

"Okay Harry off ya go mate." Sirius said putting a hand on his shoulder as he and the others stepped back. He looked at James for support. James smiled encouragingly at him so Harry proceeded.

"Let the secrets of the chamber bethrove me." Harry said in parstle tongue. It sent shivers down their spines but suddenly…..the once locked chamber became unsealed. Harry stepped back as he took in the sight. Lockhart looked frankly terrified. A fraud and a coward is all he really was.

"Well off you go Lockhart." James said standing next to him.

He looked at James as if he was nuts.

"Mmme? Shouldn't you be going first after all it was your son who opened this contraption."

"And you are supposed to be his defence against the dark arts…."

"Even so I….."

"Oh you know what I have heard enough!" Sirius approached him, caught him the arm and forced him in front of the entrance.

"Now either you are going to jump down or I will push you down. Either way you will go first!"

"Well maybe if we…….AGHHHHHH!" Sirius pushed him down as he tried to escape.

"I'm okay…"

"That's great." Sirius shouted cynically. "Ready James?"

"As ready as Ill ever be Padfoot." James stepped in front of the entrance. He stared down for a few seconds before turning round and saying….."See you lot down there." He jumped down after smiling once at Harry.

"Come on down Harry mate. It's a fairly soft landing."

"What's down there James?"

"Looks like bones…..come on Harry. The sooner we get down here……..the sooner we can leave mate." Harry looked back at Sirius and Remus who smiled at him supportively.

"It was nice knowing you guys. Check ya later." He smiled at them and jumped down after his father.

"He is truly James son." McGonagall mused fondly.

"and it that's not sufficient proof I can offer plenty more." Snape spat.

"You shut your bloody mouth snivelus or Ill shut it for ya! Go on Ron…."

"Is that a threat Black?"

"Oh no we are way past threats Snivelus….that is a promise…careful Rob mate."

"Ill be fine dad." He replied smiling at him.

"Ya I know you will…."

"Alright Sirius……Ill see you down there?"

"You can bet your life savings you will Moony!"

"You know what to do Minerva?" Sirius asked.

"Yes. Don't worry Sirius. Everything is under control."

"Okay……"

"Um…..Sirius? I can't do heights. I have this irrational fear. I don't think I can go down. I'm sorry…."

"Oh hey come on Hermione now I know we can conquer this together sweetheart."

"How exactly?" She asked perplexed.

"Give me your hand….well go down together….."

"Oh Sirius I don't……"

"Hey on now…..you trust me don't ya?"

"Yes of course I do but……"

"I promise that nothing will happen to you darling okay?" she studied his expression for a minute. It read one of great compassion and honesty. She eventually agreed. She clasped her hand in his.

"Hey that's more like it. See you guys later." Sirius called back.

"Good luck Sirius." Everyone shouted bar Snape.

"Alright…..ready Hermione?"

She smiled and nodded.

"Alrighty…..hang on so and here we gooooooooooooooooo! Ha Ha! Whooooo!" Sirius exclaimed excitedly whilst Hermione kept her eyes shut and prayed for a safe landing. Her wish was granted when they skidded on to a pile of bones. Sirius stood up and helped Hermione up then.

"Well that was fun now wasn't it sweetheart?"

"Oh…….ya it was a blast Sirius!" She replied cynically. Sirius laughed while she smirked.

"Alright…..well where the bloody hell is everybody?"

"SIRIUIS! OVER HERE SIRIUS!"

"That sounds like James. Hermione come on lets go!" Sirius sprinted across in the direction of his friends voice. He stopped a few inches away and looked back at Hermione.

"Are you okay darling?"

"Uh….ya Sirius I am fine thanks."

"Alright…..come here." He took her hand again and ran again a few metres away where they found James and everyone else bar Harry. They stopped next to Remus and Ron where Lockhart lay unconscious on the ground.

"What the bloody hell happened to him?" Sirius asked as he went over to James who was tearing down some sort of wall.

"He tried to remove Harry and Rons memory so he could claim himself hero of solving the chamber of secrets……"

"What a foul, loathsome git!" Sirius barked starring down at him.

"I was waiting for Rob and Remus to come down when I heard Harry call me….."

"Where is Harry?" Sirius asked anxiously.

"He's gone to the chamber Sirius……"

"WHAT? James we promised him that he would not have to face that gimp alone…."

"When Lockhart tried to blast their memories into oblivion……."

"The whole place collapsed so Harry ran in the other direction." Ron said. Sirius looked at him gravely.

"James and I told him to carry on and we would follow him as soon as we broke this yoke down."

"But Remus…..he could need us right now…."

"So let's get going Sirius!" James shouted as Remus came and began to assist again.

"Harry who now managed to get inside the chamber began walking up the aisle as he saw a slender figure lying on the ground at the top. She looked dead but what was worse…..she looked dead. Harry began sprinting up to her. Once he got there he realised it was Ginny. He began shaking her.

"Ginny……Ginny! Come on please wake up Ginny……."

"You are going to have your work cut out waking her up." A voice from the shadows called.

Harry looked up and saw a tall, handsome looking boy coming towards him.

"Hello Harry….."

"What have you done to her?"

"……So nice to finally meet you….."

"I said what have you done to her?" Harry asked with anger rising inside him.

"I have done nothing to her. The power of the diary must have really gotten to her. Knocked her out…." He began laughing evilly. Harry stood up and faced him with determination in his eyes.

"If you killed her I will……"

"You will what? Kill me in return? I would love to see you try…..Harry Potter!" He seethed.

"Time is a very precious thing Harry. It's a pity we don't value it while we have it. After all…..all good things must come to an end at some point. Don't you agree?"

"You are mental do you know that?"

"I have been called worse. So tell me Harry…..how are your parents? Keeping well I trust?"

"What do you care? You wanted them dead!"

"Oh no you see that is where you are mistaken Harry. I would never want Courageous James and charming Lily dead. No…..I wanted you dead. And I am finally going to achieve that!"

"That's what you think……"

"Is that a threat?" Riddle barked.

"Oh no….we are way past threats. That was a promise."

"So courageous Harry. Just like your father in so many ways."

"Why did you open the chamber?"

"Oh well now isn't that an interesting question. I am rather taken aback that you can't figure that out for yourself Harry. Isn't it obvious? I wanted you….."

"But why? What is it because you didn't succeed eleven years ago?"

"I would have succeeded had not your filthy muggle mother not anticipated my arrival…."

DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER THAT WAY!"

"You are the bane of my life Harry Potter! Everywhere I turn there is somebody trying to protect but I intend on putting a stop do that tonight.

"Do I look like I care?"

"Well I would advise you to start Harry because within minutes I intend to see you dead and having Lord Voldemort return to full power and conquer the world all over again!"

"You're a bit full of yourself aren't ya?"

"And you Harry Potter are getting on my nerves!"

"If you really wanted me then……why did you kill Ginny? She was nothing to you!"

"But she is everything to you Harry. Oh yes she told all about how she is in love with you and wishes to marry you some day….."

"You are lying….."

"Well why don't you ask her yourself……..oh wait you cant because you will both be dead very soon."

"So she is not dead?"

"It will be a matter of time…."

"HARRY MOVE NOW!" James shouted as he ran down the path with Sirius and Remus.

"Well now……if it isn't James Potter. We meet again I see. Only this time you won't be able to save your precious son. He belongs to me now you see….."

"You own nothing Riddle that is why you are so desperate for power." James said quietly.

"But that is where you are wrong James because after tonight…..Hogwarts will be mine…."

"Hogwarts belongs to Dumbledore!" Harry replied in a venomous tone.

"Dumbledore is an old fool who thinks he can change……"

ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IS A LEGENDARY WIZZARD WHO CAN DESTROY IN ANY DAY!"

"Temper Harry. I can see where you get it from though. Sirius Black……how lovely to see you again."

"Feeling isn't mutual believe me….."

"Oh I do believe you now if you would be so kind as to believe me when I say……" He commanded the basilisk to attack them all in parstle tongue. They all jumped with fright upon seeing the seriously large snake appear from its cave. It was about fifty metres long…..hissing and spitting at Harry in particular.

"Run while you can Harry because once the basilisk catches you…..there aint no way back."

Harry slowly started backing away from the snake still looking at it unsure of what to do. One thing was for certain thou…..he couldn't look into its eyes. Otherwise he'd be a goner. His guardians wanted to help but had no ideas how without swords. Suddenly a screeching was heard and as they all looked around they saw Fawkes flying towards them. He released what he was holding in his tentacles. James caught it and they saw it was some sort out of tattered hat. Hope was quickly restored when they looked up and saw Fawkes successfully blind the basilisk. Harry smiled over at them as they returned it.

"You may have managed to blind the basilisk but it can still hear you Harry!"

"HARRY RUN!" They all shouted at once. Harry did as he was told and took shelter inside one of the many tunnels down there. Riddle began to laugh cynically as he said….

"What exactly do you hope all this will achieve James? The basilisk will find Harry and like it or not you are enjoying the last few minutes with your son. Its only a matter of time. How many more times will have to say that?"

"Until we believe it!"

"Very well Black have it your way….."

"James what are we going to do? Harry is in serious danger mate!"

"I know Sirius but……"

"Hey what is that you guys?" Remus asked pointing to a gleaming silver shadow emerging from the hat. They all looked in that direction and realised that a sword had appeared from nowhere. Sirius turned round to his smiling friends as he said.

"I think Harry will be alright now you guys……"

"Ya….I know he will….." James replied.

"One of us has to grab the sword whilst the other distracts him as someone else gets the diary. One that's gone……so is Riddle."

"Yes but how Remus?"

"I don't know Sirius……"

"I see you managed to escape the basilisk……again." Riddle said as Harry ran out of the tunnel he was hiding in. He knelt down in front of Ginny, panting.

"Ginny Weasley has a little more than five minutes to live Harry. Whatever will you do…?"

Sirius then slowly bent down and grabbed the sword. Harry was a good bit away from him but he had to try. The basilisk sprung up from the sewer and sensed Harry close by. Sirius slid the sword over to Harry before the basilisk emerged on the floor again. They smiled at each other before Harry got up and climbed the statue erected to creature. Once at the top he began swerving the sword in and around the basilisk. James was going to grab the diary if Sirius distracted Riddle. Remus would keep watch on Harry. Sirius began walking up to him with a confident stride.

"So….Riddle….you are pretty confident that tonight is the night Harry is going to die are you?"

"Yes of course Black. How can he possibly survive the basilisk attack? If he gets bitten then…….the venom will penetrate through his blood stream within the space of a minute."

"I see…..well we will just have to wait and see I suppose…." Sirius said as James gave him the thumbs up. A few seconds later they heard the creature roar in pain. As they looked up they Harry clutching the sword right through the basilisk s pallet.

"I cant believe that he has actually done it. He killed it." James muttered. Sirius and Remus were smiling triumphantly when James turned around. The basilisk fell to the ground with a large thud making them jump well back to avoid being struck. Harry managed to climb down the statue successfully. James ran over to him and whispered something in his ear. James removed the basilisk's tooth from his son's arm before returning to his friends. Harry knelt down beside Ginny again.

"I am a man of my word Harry and I promised you that Ginny would be dead within five minutes…..now its your turn……"

"Not bloody likely!" James shouted as he began stabbing the diary with the tooth.

"What? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Riddle began to vanish slowly. Harry looked up and grinned at the image running to grab the book from his dad but failing to and being sucked into it like a hologram. Two minutes later all that was left was a tattered old diary that someone may have left behind years previously. Ginny then opened her eyes and sat up. Harry who was standing shoving his fists in the air and laughing at James and Sirius dancing didn't hear her call his name until Remus pointed. He turned around and ran to kneel down beside her.

"Ginny…..are you alright?" He asked concernedly.

"Yes I am fine Harry, thanks. But you…..Harry your arm is bleeding. Remus. Remus, Harry is hurt. He needs help!" Ginny called as she stood up. Remus quickly made his way over to them. He bent down beside Harry as he examined his right arm.

"Harry did you get bitten by the basilisk?"

"Uh….ya I think so. I mean when I shoved the sword through the roof of his mouth…..his tooth came down on top of me….."

"Of course…..that is what James used to vanquish Riddle…." Harry's eye lids started to droop so Remus noticing this put his thumb and index finger in his mouth to call Fawkes. Fawkes came swishing towards him. Remus indicated him to Harry's arm and he started crying on it. Three large pint size tear drops later and his arm was healed. Harry looked down at it and began wriggling it about. He smiled happily and turned to Fawkes saying…..

"Thanks Fawkes for…..everything." He stroked his velvet head appreciatively. Sirius and James finally came over grinning.

"Hey Ginny are you alright sweetheart?"

"Yes James thank you. If it wasn't for you……I don't know what would have….."

"Oi. That's enough darling. Say no more. Let's just put it all in the past."

Ginny smiled at Sirius as she ran to hug him. She hugged James and Remus in turn too who all embraced her fondly.

"Come on you lot…..lets get out of here." James called as they all left and found Ron and Rob in sitting in the tunnel.

"Ginny?" Ron questioned disbelievingly. Ginny ran and hugged her big brother who was so pleased to see her in one piece.

"Alright so……where's Hermione?" Sirius asked.

"Oh she went to arrange pick up." Rob said smirking at his father's face."

"Did she now?" He replied before strolling off to locate her in the other wing of the chamber.

"……Yes that is perfect Professor McGonagall……"

"Why thank you Hermione….."

"Sirius! Oh I am so glad that you are okay! But where are Harry and James and……."

"Hey Hermione. How are you?" Harry called.

"Oh my god…….Harry!" She ran and flung her arms round his neck in a tight embrace but nearly knocked him off course. Harry tightened his grip around her back.

"Alright troop's lets get climbing……"

"But Sirius I……"

"Yes darling I know…..you don't do heights. Not to worry coz you climb on my back alright?"

"Wha…..are you sure…….?"

"Deadly certain. Don't look so scared Hermione. I promise that it will be fine. Alright…..Ginny off you go so sweetheart. You gone through a lot so….here." Sirius handed her ties the rope around her waist and shouts……"Alright pull Hagrid pull." Hagrid heaves her up and once she reaches the top he helps her up as she unties herself.

"Okay…..Rob or Ron whoever…..Rob it is!" Sirius says smiling at his son. Hagrid pulls him up to safety within seconds too.

"Ron……Harry….."

"You go ahead Ron. Ill be up soon."

"Alright Harry."

"Okay…..he's up so Harry off with ya champ."

"But dad what about Lockhart? We can't just leave him here!"

"You're a right little hero aren't ya kid? Alright well….Remus help me with him will ya?"

"You ready to go Harry?" Sirius asked with Hermione staying close by.

"Get Lockhart up first….." Sirius lets out a bark like laugh while they come back with him.

"Right tie him well Sirius. Cant afford for him to fall and hit his head anymore."

"Well if you ask me James……."

"Okay Hagrid pull……"

"Harry…."

"What about you and Remus?"

"We will be fine alright now go!" James ties the rope round his son and he's pulled to safety.

"Hermione….."

"Ugh……..no way James! Sirius said he'd take me on his back……"

"On his back?"

"Yes James so….."

"Well if that is the case you better go now mate….."

"But…."

"Now"

Sirius bends down so Hermione can climb on. She loops her arms round his neck and Sirius then holds onto her legs as he pulls them up to his waist.

"You two ready so?" Sirius and Hermione nod so Remus ties the rope around them whist James tests the strength by tugging on it.

"Okay Hagrid we have two passengers this time so be careful."

"Alrigh James."

Though Hagrid may be strong…..it took a lot to pull Sirius and Hermione to safety.

"Phew. Got there. Ya alrigh Hermione?"

"Yes thank you Hagrid and thank you Sirius. I really appreciate it."

"No problem darling." Sirius replies hugging her back.

"Hey where is Harry?" Sirius asked.

"Albus requested to see him….." McGonagall replied smiling.

"So he is back!"

"Oh yes Sirius. Albus Dumbledore is back." They both smiled triumphantly.

"So……Fawkes knew that I was faithful to you? That is why he gave me that sword?"

"Yes Harry. Initially there was nothing in there. The sword appeared when you required it the most."

"And Voldemort is he….."

"No Harry he is not. You have destroyed a horcrux however which means that there are limited ways in which he can return but he still can. That is what we have to work on….."

"So its true! You are back." Malfoy shouted as he barged into Dumbledore's office.

"Why yes it is Lucias. Many people believe that you forced them to do so….."

"Excuse me? You have no right to spreading pathological lies like this…."

"I'm sorry?"

"My priorities have always been for the welfare of this school and its students. I agree that we don't get on but…..I would never persuade colleagues to do any such thing."

"Well that is good to hear."

"Excuse me Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Malfoy but could I be excused?"

"Of course Harry."

"Thank you sir." Harry returned Malfoys glare as he left the room.

Harry quickly ran down the steps to the hall where as he expected, found Dobby with his three guardians.

"Oh hey Harry. We were just on our way up to see Albus….."

"Sirius give me that book quick!" Harry whispered urgently.

"Alright……..why may I ask?"

"You will see." Harry removed his sock in a hurry and placed it inside the diary.

"Dobby is pleased to see Harry Potter is safe."

"Thank you Dobby." Harry said politely.

"Oh well look what we have here? A traitor, a half breed and a werewolf. How nice. It does seem a pity that we cant stay and chat but…..some of us work to do."

"What a pity your plan didn't work Malfoy!" Harry shouted at him.#

"Excuse me….."

"Old Voldie didn't return like ye planned tonight. Instead…..he remained as sick and weak like we all know who is only your too blind or stupid to see it! Maybe both………."

"How dare you……"

"……speak his name ya I know but here. You forgot this." Harry handed him the diary.

"I don't own this…."

"Seriously ya. Okay if you say so."

"Come on Dobby lets go. We are through with these people……"

"These people……"

"Open it." Harry whispered to Dobby whilst James and Sirius bickered with Malfoy.

"Master has freed Dobby! How can Dobby ever repay him?"

"What I didn't give you any….." Harry smiled smugly at Malfoy.

"You lost me MY SERVANT! YOU WILL PAY THE CONSEUENCES!"

Malfoy took out his wand and began saying……"avada….." but he never got any further because Dobby stepped forward and blasted him down to the end of the hall.

"You think you have won Potter but trust me…….you will not match the powers of Lord Voldemort when you meet him and I assure you that it will be sooner rather later."

"IS THAT A THREAT MALFOY COZ IF I T IS….."James shouted but he was gone.

"Don't worry James…..he will get what is coming to him."

"Thank you Dobby for saving my boys life." James said to a grateful Dobby.

"Anytime sir. Thank you for freeing Dobby Harry Potter! You really as great as people say. You will grow up to be a fine wizard."

"Thanks Dobby….."

"Alright come on Prongslet lets get you checked out with the others." Sirius called as he placed his hands on his shoulders and dragged him away into the hospital wing.

"Goodbye Harry Potter and good luck." Dobby said to four distanced figures. With that he clicked his fingers and was gone.
