A.N: As usual, I don't own anything except Mia. The storyline and other characters are all the wonderful .

A few people gave Mia odd looks everytime she went up or came down from the boys dorms, but no one questioned it. She guessed Draco had probably threatened people not to say anything to her. Things seemed to quieten down after that, and though a few others were petrified, not much more happened.

Mia was glad for her classes to end that day though, double potions with hufflepuff really wasn't her idea of fun, and as she stuffed her books into her bag she hurried down the stairs towards the Slytherin common room.

"Pure-blood" She said glancing at the portrait and stepping through. Thankfully the common room was empty and she sat down on one of the black sofa's putting her feet beneath her and getting out her book again. She was glad to be able to sit down here rather than having to stay in her and Draco's room. It was also the same routine. Mia would get straight in from classes and go up to their dorm, sit on her bed and do her homework, go out for dinner and talk to few people, occasionally Draco, then go back to the dorm. She'd see Ginny or her older twin brothers sometimes in the week and stop and talk, but since the incident with Lockheart, barely anyone wanted to be seen with her. A few even thought she was the heir of Slytherin who had opened the chamber of secrets. How ridiculous. So to be able to sit in the common room was a nice change. Unfortunately she wasn't alone long, as Draco followed by his two cronies walked in. Crab and Goyal looked different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on how. She shrugged off the thought and gave Draco a small smile and moved over for him to sit down, before folding the page of her book and closing it.

Mia paid faint attention to the conversation, until Draco mentioned about someone dying. She's asked him about it before, mainly out of curiosity, and he hadn't told her that.

"All I know is the last time the chamber was opened some mudblood died. That'll probably happen this time, I hope it'll be Granger"

"Who died?" She questioned turning to face Draco slightly. Though why she was asking she didn't know.

"How should I know?" Draco raised an eyebrow before shrugging off her question and continuing talking to the dogs as Mia now referred to them, though only to herself mind you. She didn't listen to the rest of the conversation, and instead thought of who could have died. It must've been over 50 years ago, no student would remember who, would they? Shaking her head at herself, Mia muttered a goodbye to Draco and the dogs, and went out of the common room to the library. Maybe there was some information on it, maybe something to get people to stop thinking she could be the one to open the chamber. On her way she bumped smack into Ginny, the young red head looked even more frantic than usual. Mia frowned,

"Are you ok?"

Ginny startled looking around before clutching a book to her chest and nodding, "Yes, fine. Busy, just busy" She managed a rather forced looking smile and headed off at almost a run in the direction she'd come from.

"Weird" Mia said to herself as she carried on to the library. She hadn't spoken to Ginny in weeks properly and she did miss her. If truth be told, she slightly missed Fred and George too. When all this was over she vowed to catch up with Ginny, but for now, the library called her.

Unfortunately she found nothing in the library, and as she walked back to the common room something caught her attention. Over 10 teachers were all stood beside one of the corridors looking at the wall, and as she saw what they were looking at, the one book she'd managed to find interesting fell from her hands. Though before it actually hit the floor with the 'thud' that would give away she was still out after curfew, someone snatched it and pulled her backwards with their hand over her mouth. Mia squeaked and struggled for a second before she realised it was Harry and Ron and let out a sigh of relief.

"Who's been taken?" She whispered walking forwards and peering round the wall again. Both boys struggled and stood besides her trying to listen to the teachers. Neither were bothered by her being there, unlike most the school they treated her like they had the first day they'd met her in bargain and burts.

What they heard next, non of them had expect.

"The girl who's been taken, is the youngest Weasley girl" Said professor McGonagall.

All three froze not believing what they'd just heard,

"Ginny" Ron whispered shaking his head. Mia turned away from the teachers and almost ran down the corridors as if running from the whole situation. Ginny couldn't be taken, she was Ginny. Lovely little Ginny. No, she couldn't be taken. And if she'd been taken to the chamber of secrets… That means she could be.. No. She couldn't even think about that.

Harry and Ron were talking about getting Lockheart to help find Ginny,

"I'm coming with you" It wasn't a question, but a statement. There was no way Mia could just sit there while Ginny was in danger.

So the three of them quick walked to Lockhearts office and pushed open the door. What they saw was shocking, it almost looked like he was trying to leave. He couldn't leave, he was meant to be the best defensive teacher there was.

"Going somewhere?" Harry questioned seeming as shocked as Mia was. Lockheart jumped at the sound of the voice and continued packing "I-I'm needed elsewhere" he mumbled grabbing one of his bags and attempting to walk out the room.

"Ginny's been taken, we need you!" Ron said, his tone reluctant, as though he didn't want to admit it. But they did need him if they were as good as he was meant to be. Lockheart shook his head, and gave another pathetic excuse. Non of them were taking it and they had to practically drag him to where Harry had explained he thought the chamber might be. Mia frowned as they entered the girls' bathroom that was haunted by moaning myrtle. The young ghost made Mia jump as she appeared behind her and gave her a filthy look.

"Who are you?" Myrtle said in a moody tone directed at Mia. What had she ever done to this ghost? Harry frowned slightly at Myrtle and let go of Lockheart, "She's a friend, I need her help" He mumbled before asking Myrtle how she'd died,

"I don't know. I just remember seeing a pair of great big yellow eyes, and then I came back again. I was determined to haunt olive hornbe"

Mia barely listened as Harry questioned the stupid ghost over where she'd seen this and instead decided to watch Lockheart. Considering he was meant to be a brilliant defence teacher, he was shaking like a leaf. While she contemplated how he'd managed to get his 'reputation', Myrtle had shown Harry the sink she thought it was, and he seemed to be examening one of the taps.

It looked like an ordinary sink to Mia. Or atleast, until Harry saw it. Scratched on the side of the one of one of the copper taps was a tiny snake.

"That taps never works" Said Myrtle happily as Mia tried to turn it as if wanting to prove her wrong. Mia turned to Harry thinking for a second,

"Say something, open or something in parceltongue?"

Walking over to the circle of sinks and looking at them, before speaking something in parceltongue that Mia didn't understand but guessed was open. Her mouth opened slightly in shock as the sinks dropped down to create a staircase leading to she could only guess; the chamber of secrets.

"Wow" She heard Ron mutter, and all four started to descend the stairs, Ron's wand firmly against Lockhearts back to make him move. They waited until Lockheart was down the stairs first, and the three followed.

Mia glanced around at her surrendings, making a look of disgust at the slimy floor. "Under the lake probably" She mused, before getting out her wand, "Lumos" she whispered, smiling as the tip of her wand lit up. There wasn't much to see in the tunnel, but Harry also lit his own wand just to be sure. Ron kept his wand firmly in Lockhearts back to stop him from turning and running back up the stairs to freedom.

They were all trying very hard not to imagine what Ginny would look like when they found her. Ofcourse they would find her.

"Guys, there something over there" Ron whispered stopping in his place and shutting his eyes. Lockheart pressed his hands tightly over his eyes, while Mia and Harry both squinted as much as possible, still walking forwards towards a large outlined shape they couldn't yet make any idea of. After walking a few paces they noticed it was an empty snakeskin, and they opened their eyes fully. It must've been over 20ft long.

There was a crash behind them as Lockhearts legs must've given way, and Ron grunted telling him to get back up. Mia couldn't help the slight smile that crept onto her features at the thought of Lockheart on his back with his feet in the air, and she hoped Ron would start hitting him with rocks to wake him up. Unfortunately this didn't happen, as Lockheart got to his, but dived at Ron knocking him to the ground and stealing his wand, a gleaming smile back on his face, much to the dismay of the young black haired girl.

"The adventure ends here. I shall take a sample of this skin back up to the school, say I was too late to save the girl, and that you three lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body. I can't let people know that you're the one who found this snake, I need the credit like always" He raised Ron's spellotaped wand and yelled "Obliviate" The explosion from the wand was enough for Mia to scream and cover her eyes and the ceiling fell from above them. Someone grabbed her arm and pulled her backwards quickly before something fell on her head, and she made a mental note the thank Harry for it later. She waited for the sound of falling rubble to stop, before unshielding her head and glancing around. Herself and Harry appeared to be on one side, Lockheart and Ron either trapped under it or on the other side. Part of her hoped Lockheart was trapped under. After shouting a few times, Harry and Ron spoke to each other, and agreed they were wasting time. So Mia and Harry went on ahead. Neither speaking, and both on high alert for movement after seeing the snakes skin. The tunnel turned, and turned again, and Mia wanted the tunnel to end, though she wasn't sure she wanted to know what would happen when it did. Atlast as they rounded another corner, a large wall blocked their path, with two giant stone serpents in the middle. Mia didn't bother to tell him what to do this time as she did with the sinks, and within seconds they were parting to let them pass.

At the end of the dimly lit chamber, stood a tall black haired older teen. He looked quite handsome, his hair neatly sweeped back and piercing green eyes that seemed to bore into her soul.

Mia continued to stare at him for a few seconds before noticing a small form lying on the floor beside him. Realising it was Ginny, both her and Harry ran forward shaking their heads. Mia was shocked as she knelt down next to the girl she'd begun to call her best friend. She was so cold, but she had to be ok. She had to be. She ignored Harry talking to the other boy, holding the small red head close in an attempt to warm her up. Or that was until the boy said his name,

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, I Am Lord Voldemort"

Mia blinked staring at him again, "Tom Riddle?"

He looked down at her, giving a small nod, a bemused look on his face. She looked away from him and at Ginny, shaking her own head slightly and cradling Ginny in her arms. That couldn't be.. Could it? The name.. that name. No. That wouldn't make sense.

Somewhere in her mind babble she noticed a huge snake coming out of the corner and towards Harry. That wasn't going to get her aswell was it? Ofcourse not she was just an innocent bystander, wanting to save her friends life. Luckily, the snake went past her and dived at Harry who narrowly missed. But just to be safe Mia dragged Ginny's lifeless body to the side leaning against the wall and staying out of the way. Shock covered her features when she saw a beautiful bird carrying the sorting hat fly into the room and land beside Harry. And she watched in even more shock as he got a sword from somewhere and managed to kill the basilisk. A small squeak parted her lips as it crashed to the floor making her jump. How on earth had he managed to do that? But now he looked hurt. 'Should I go over? But help would I do, if that thing bit him, I can't help' She thought chewing on her bottom lip, still cradling Ginny. She shut her eyes not wanting to watch as Harry possibly died, but after a few seconds she heard a screaming coming from somewhere else. A miracle really had happened, as 'the boy who lived' was stabbing the diary that had possessed her best friend. And the thing that was even weirder, was Tom now had light coming out of him. It all seemed so unreal. But then again, didn't being a wizard?

After a few minutes the older teen was gone completely and Ginny was moving in Mia's arms as if starting to wake up.

"Thank god"

The young black haired girl looked up to see Harry smiling down at Ginny, the stabbed diary in his good arm.

"I know how we can get back" He said still smiling and glanced at forks.

A.N: Slightly rushed towards the end, not brilliant I know. But the problem I seem to be having is I keep writing later on chapters of Mia when she's in 5/6th year. Kinda annoying as I can't upload them yet, so I'm rushing a little to get these done. As always, PLEASE leave comments, I really do appreciate them and they inspire me to write more. Thankyou to everyone who does leave them, and Thankyou for reading! xxx
