A few days had passed, I hadn't been much for doing much. I felt like a ninny, as pathetic as I seemed, I was still trying to wrap my head around Tom- no, Voldemort being in my hands and I lost him. The diary. I should've ripped it up, set it on fire. I should've known better. Now sitting in the library I had been trying to reread the lesson for charms, but nothing. It was my fifth time reading the same paragraph. I just couldn't focus, I was to far in my own self pity to care. Shutting the book. I leaned back in my chair looking up at the ceiling. I can't dwell on this, I need to focus, I made a mistake, no one can get mad about it can they? But if I can't even forgive myself how the hell are the others going to forgive me? Wait. No one else knew, at least not at this moment. No one knows I had the diary, that I had Voldemort in my palms. I could just pretend nothing has happened. I know nothing. I then looked around the room at other students hard at work or talking to each other. It's not like anyone here would be able to prove me wrong, they aren't smart enough to figure it out. Only two people -humans- know. Myself, and the white demon himself.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Hermione, sitting next to me, "So Professor Binns told us a story today" She must've just gotten out of history of magic, "He said that when the four founders still ran Hogwarts, there had been some troubles between them. Salazar Slytherin had wanted to be more selective about the students that were to attend Hogwarts"

I nodded, "He only wanted pure bloods to attend, like some people here, he looked down on, muggle born wizards" I stated, "But the others; Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw, had other thoughts, and were against the prejudices that Salazar had" I informed her.

She then nodded, "So, did Godric and Salazar get along? Binns also said, that Salazar left behind a chamber, that could only be opened by the true heir of Slytherin, when it's opened, it would release the horror within and it would purge the school of the unworthy" she paused then whispered, "Kill Muggle borns" Then a bit louder she added, "He said it's not true, but with what happened to and the note on the wall, it can't be all farfetched."

So Tom Riddle was an heir of the Chambers, does that mean it had been opened before? I then decided to share what I had been told by the painting of the founder of Slytherin,"It's true there is a Chamber, I talked to the painting of Salazar Slytherin in the commons room" I then followed it by a lie, so Hermione couldn't demand more answers, "Of course, he didn't tell me much about it, where it is, or whom the heir was"

She let out a sigh, "maybe, you can take another crack at him tonight? Perhaps, about the heir?" I nodded, though I wouldn't go to Salazar about the Chambers.

A few days had passed, now walking to the Slytherin Commons room, I'm stopped by the sound of my name. I stopped where I was, turning to see the familiar faces, or Hermione, Harry and Ron.

"Do you think it's possible that Malfoy is the heir of Slytherin?" Harry asked, once they got closer. I couldn't help but to laugh at the question.

"No, no he's not, the Slytherin family dwindled, last I've heard the name changed often, as the women got married and the men died." I stopped, besides, Riddles seem to be the decedents of Slytherins...

"How can you be sure of that?" Hermione questioned, curious.

I answered, "That's their history, I haven't seen a Slytherin manor, the other decedents of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff still stand. Though, the Gryffindor family, go by Gryffin now, due to a past marriage." I went on, "The Slytherin manor, I doubt even exists anymore"

"So, you have no idea if the Malfoys are related to him" Ron stated, "there might've been a marriage decades ago that inherited the last name Malfoy, or even an affair between the two families"

I rolled my eyes, "He isn't the heir of bloody Slytherin, besides for all we know, the heir could be in another house." I pointed at myself, "I'll remind you, I'm an heir of Rowena Ravenclaw, remind me what house I'm in again?" I then added, "Besides, if he were in any way related to Salazar, I'm sure we'd all know, Draco, is basically Lockhart, he'd be boasting about how he's related to Slytherin. " I rolled my eyes, "Have you guys met him?" I then waved them off, as we made it to the Slytherin dormitory.

A couple of hours of sitting in the corner of, one of the couches in front of a fire place, reading; The Parseltongue Guide. Draco had walked in with his pair of dolts. My blond friend seemed to be very proud of him, as he waltzed in with a cheeky smile.

Looking at him a raised an eyebrow, as he took a seat in the, black leather chair next to me, he gave me a smirk, looking upon me with his stormy eyes, "Gryffindors are going to be crushed in quidditch, this Sunday."

"Oh, don't get so cocky, love" I replied, shutting my book.

He huffed, "I can't help that I'm such a great seeker, love" He retorted in the same tone, it then changed to a questioning tone, "so thoughts on who the heir of Slytherin is?"

I felt the hair on the back of my neck prickle, Tom Riddle But I replied as calmly as I could, "No, clue why?"

"I figured if anyone here would know, it'd be you" he stated, and he went on, "I mean, the families of Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws know each others, status's right?"

I nodded slowly thinking about how to answer, "Yes, but Salazar Slytherin left, practically cutting all ties with our families. All I know, is from what I've read, the Slytherin name dwindled, till now it's likely anyone could be his heir, the Slytherin manor, it's still unsure if it even still stands, as it was sold ages ago."

"So anyone, in this school could be his heir and could've opened the chambers?" He asked, eyeing me.

"Basically, unless someone other than an heir figured out, not only, where the chamber is, but also figured out how to enter it" I carelessly went on, "How many people have you met that speak Parseltongue?" Crap.

Dracos eyes went wide, "You figured out how!" He whispered, "so, find someone that speaks it, we'll find the heir"

I bit my lip, "You didn't hear it from me, yea?"

"Why don't you want to tell people?" He questioned, confused.

Quickly, I made up an answer, "I'm trying to figure out who's using the language, who's going to step forward, when everyone's told?"

Slowly he nodded, "I suppose that makes sense" then he went to change the topic, when someone walked into the common rooms, "Anyways, are you going to come to the game and cheer me on, love?"

Thankful, I answered, "Of course, love. Wouldn't miss your first game" I replied, getting up stopping by his chair, resting a hand on his shoulder, thanking him for the topic change. Then I went up the stairs, towards my room.

Once inside my room, I laid on the bed, with the book open, Capone jumping down from his little hut, landing on my back. Curling up on me to sleep some more I presumed.

The Alphabet

Though there is no offical written alphabet of Parseltongue, as it is a verbal language only, there are several distinct sounds that may be considered the "alphabet" of the language. These sounds include the following, English letters "S, H, N, J, K, L, R, T, Y, Z" along with all the vowls, excluding "O".

There are twenty vowel sounds and twenty-seven consonant sounds, making a total of 47 letters in total in the Parseltongue alphabet.

Often the most difficult of these to pronounce for humans are the "J" and "Z" sound in conjunction with an "Hs" or "Sh" sound, and therefore much of Western Parseltongue has move away from the use of these letters. However, they are still recognized as letters in the alphabet.

The most pratical way to speak the alphabet of Parseltongue as a human is to remember the structure of a snake's lips are not made to form words as humans are, and so when speaking the language it can be helpful to imagine that there is a straight rod running from the front of the lips to the back of the throat on both the roof and bottom of your mouth. Also avoid moving the lips, as much as possible. As snakes do not have this capability, either.

Sounds that end with "Vowels" in Parseltongue: an open mouth; soft sounds. "Consonants" in Parseltongue: Sounds that end with a closed mouth; hard sounds.

English → Parseltongue
C → K
J → G
L → Sl
M → N
Q → K
W → V
X → ʃ*
Y → I
Z → S

*( "ʃ" = Sh. I will be referring "Sh" as ʃ for the entirety of Parseltongue. You can choose to use either ʃ or Sh, both are correct since Parseltongue has no written language)

Some examples of names:

James = Ganes
Rebecca = Rebeka
Laura = Slaura
Richard = Rikard

I looked over the vowels and consonants in the book, saying them out loud softly. As I went over the Parseltongue alphabet, then I said my name, "Anber rose ravmkslav" Alright, easy, I think? I then went onto the next part, sentence structure.

The sentence structure for Parseltongue is a bit complicated, but easy when you memorize it.
"That black cat ran away quickly"
becomes
"That cat black away ran quickly "

Demonstrative Pronoun: That: Either A/An, That, or This. "The" will be replaced with That
Subject: Cat: Me, you, etc. Doing the Verb
Adjective: Black: Describing Subject
Object: Away: Object of the verb. Doing what? running where?
Verb: Ran: What the Subject is doing
Adverb: Quickly: How the Subject is doing the verb

I nodded, I think I get it? All that needs to really happen is to put the adjective or adverb after the subject. Or so I thought.

Sunday morning soon came, I had been studying, and reading the book over and over again. Hopefully to get it down. Sitting in the great hall with Draco, who was boasting about how he'd win the game, loudly so Harry could hear. I just rolled my eyes through the whole thing.

"Say, love you're going to cheer the loudest for me, ay?" Draco questioned, looking to me, with a cocky, yet hopeful face. What was the deal? Of course I would cheer for him, he was one of my best friends, one of my favorite people, Harry not as much. It was like he needed some reassurance for his ego, why did it matter if I did or not?

I raised an eyebrow, giving him a smile, "Of course I well, darling"

With that, he smiled and left to get to the pitch, for the team meeting, before the actual game.

"I have to ask, are you and Draco a couple" I nearly choked, as Daphne Greengrass slid into the seat next to me.

I looked at her, "Last I checked we weren't"

"You sure? You both throw words such as love and darling around each other, and how friendly you two are with each other, vurses how friendly you two are with others, you'd think-" She started,

Rolling my eyes I interrupted her, "how friendly we are with each other, is due to our friendship."

She chuckled, "That's good, Pansy might tear into you"

It was my turn to laugh, "Pansy, isn't something I worry about, she's nothing more than a yapping mutt, she's to much like that of a thick concussed troll, if she tries anything"

"That's a bit rude" Daphne retorted, "she's smart-"

I had to cover my mouth, wanting to laugh, "Her smart? The moment I see her as smart will be the day, I join Voldemort"

We, the entire great hall than left to go to the quidditch, as it had become time to go. I decided to sit in the higer up seats, where I could look down at everyone. Lilly Moon and her roommates sitting with me. The game soon started, I could see Draco was showing off his broom as he zoomed around in the air, as were the rest of the Slytherin team. Then I notice the blundger, it seemed to be directly after Harry, it reminded me of last year, but this year the bludger had been jinxed, rather then his broom. The majority of the game I'm watching the chase, of the bludger and Harry, who was spending more time flying away from the jinxed ball. I was trying to figure out the jinx, if I could, then I would be able to counter it, sadly I couldn't tell the jinx.

Slytherin was a head by sixty points, when there was a break. The majority of the stands were pointing and talking about Harry and the bludger, they crowds must've noticed the chasing also. I got up from my seat, climbing down from the bleachers, walking around the bottom of the stands till I got to the side of Gryffindors, seeing their team, seemingly frustrated, they must've been annoyed by the bludger tampering.

"What do you want Slytherin?" Angelina Johnson snapped at me, I ignored her and walked up to Harry, looking him over, thinking maybe there was a spell on him, making him a bludger magnet. Sadly, I couldn't see anything visible.

Harry seemed to understand what I was doing as he spoke up, "Any ideas what's causing the bludger to act that way?"

"Outside of the fact it's been tampered with? I have nothing, it's frustrating." I replied, going on, "I want to say, I know the jinx, but I don't" I looked over at Oliver Wood, "Who deals with the box they're kept in?" I then looked at Harry as I went on, "Maybe if I know who, I can figure out what"

However, the answer I got I wasn't a fan of, apparently the box was left in a room in the castle, easily accessible so the teams could get to it. As well as anyone wanting to tamper with the balls. There wasn't time to go on, as the break was over, time to resume playing, I followed them to the exit, stopping at the doorway to the pitch.

"Harry, keep the speed and evasiveness up" I whispered as I leaned against the door while the Gryffindor team went on the feild, resuming the match. The bludger was still after Harry. I looked away from it seeing the shiny gold snitch, that was in front of a laughing Malfoy, who didn't seem to notice. I could hear the crowds, mostly Slytherin yelling at him. I then looked away seeing the bludger zooming into Harry, hitting his arm. I flinch, wanting to look away, but I couldn't. I watched him jolt forward. Diving in Dracos direction. he seemed to favor one arm over the other. I grit my teeth slightly, as my shoulder and arm started to ache, as I predicted Harry had broken his arm. Then Harry had reached his good arm out, and grabs for the snitch, then he begins to hurrle to the ground, I quickly pulled my wand out pointing it ahead of him using the levitation charm. It worked, he stopped, but the bludger was going for him, I glared at it, thinking of the freezing charm, Immobulus! It then seemed to freeze, long enough for me to lower Harry to the ground, but once he was close to the ground it unfroze going for him, causing me to stop the levitation spell, dropping Harry the last foot to the ground, then use a protective spell, that created a dome of air around him. The bludger began smashing into the wall over and over again, I could feel it breaking the protective dome, as I began to feel the cracking of it.

I then noticed that Harry wasn't moving, must've been knocked out, he was just laying on the pitch. I then started walking out onto the pitch more, hoping the closer I got the longer the dome would last. But then the bludger, it seemed to know what was going on, as it zoomed at top speed towards me, quickly with my wand I used another dome spell, this time around the bludger, the bludger was to fast, escaping the dome, before it fully encased the rouge ball. I braced myself for impact, as it was an arms length away from me, pratically touching the tip of my wand. Thankfully, Hermione had blown it up, before it got to me, I owed her big time. Blinking in shock as I watched the bludger exploded into millions of bits, into dust and floated to the ground before me. I looked to Hermione, sending her a greatful smile. Then I walked to Harry, while the crowds surrounded us. He wasn't moving.

Sitting next to him on the ground, I placed a hand on his neck, thankfully there was a pulse he was alive. Then I softly lifted up his arm, to observe it, to see the damage. Before I could I was stopped as Professor Lockhart had ran over.

"No, fear no fear!" He stated, taking Harrys arm, not as gentally as I was., "Don't worry my Amber! I shall fix Harrys arm" He then flashed his white teeth. I glared at him, the moron.

I shook my head, "no, we need a doctor, we need Madam Pomfrey" I snapped at him.

Harrys eyes then fluttered open, followed by a groan when he saw Lockhart, "Oh, no, not you!"

"Doesn't know what he's saying," Lockhart said loudly to everyone, "Not to worry, Harry. I'm about to fix your arm"

Harry then scrambled to sit up, "No! I'll keep it like this, thanks-" He's then pushed back down.

"Lie back down, Harry" Says Lockhart, who's trying to be soothing, "It's a simple charm I've used countless times-"

"It's just a broken arm" I hissed, "He just needs to walk to the hospital wing, and have Madam Pomfrey look it over"

Harry nodded, whining, "Yeah, it's fine, my legs still work" He looked to me pleading to be taken elsewhere.

Not listening, Lock hart then ordered us to stand back, I stayed put, while Harry objected.

"Brackeum Emndo!" Lockhart says, the incantation incorrectly.

I face palmed, a bit harder then expected. Surely, I could knock Lockhart out with the force I had used on myself. This damned ninny, had casted the spell wrong, saying it poorly, looking to Harry, I saw his arm was now removed of the bones, now looking like rubber. Gross to see, I think I would've preferred Ron puking slug to this.

"Ah, yes, well, that can sometimes happen. "Lockart stated, "But the point is, the bones are no longer broken. That's the thing to bear in mind." He then looked between Harry and I, "So, Harry, just toddle up to the hospital wing, , please escort him - that way Madam Pomfrey can tidy him up."

Shooting him a dirty look, I helped harry up, picking up his broom, I moved people out of the way, cursing Lockharts name as I did.

"You know Amber, Flint was cursing at Malfoy for not noticing the snitch." One of the twins said,

The other one then finished, "We're quite sure you'll be able to join the team next year"

I rolled my eyes, "I'll pass, I have no interest. Now please move!" I ordered.
