A/N: Of course Harry was going to survive :P Couldn't continue the story if he did.

Gringotts medical ward

Harry awoke laying in a bed, he noticed he was in some type of bubble. He could see several Goblins looking in from the outside along with Hermione who looked like she was trying to get through the bubble, however the guards were holding her back. Harry felt like an animal in the zoo being stared at and pointed at. He noticed one of the Goblin touched some symbol on the wall and the bubble vanished. He then fell backwards on the bed as Hermione charged into his arms.

"Harry James Potter! If you ever do that again, I will hex you so bad, you will be stuck in the hospital wing for year!"

Harry gulped and just kept his arms around Hermione. He then noticed the Director and Bloodthirsty was standing at the bottom of the bed.

"Good to see you are still with us My Lord. We feared the worse when you collapsed in the ritual chamber. Your future Lady Peverell has been worried out of her mind, wanting to know if you would pull through."

Harry lifted Hermione off his chest and then looked to the director. "Is it gone? The soul fragment were you able to remove it?"

The director gave the Harry a toothy grin before inclining his head. "Indeed My lord, the ritual was a success and Bloodthirsty was able to remove the soul fragment. You must forgive us for placing you inside that ward bubble, you see with the soul fragment gone, you began to expel huge amounts of magic. No doubt due to the soul fragment leeching on your magical core."

Harry sighed in relief, it seems his parents advice about the Goblins was spot on. "Director I wish to thank you for your service and please allow me donate 1,000,000 galleons to the Goblin nation as thanks for the service you have provided for me."

The director eyes widened. "On behave of the Goblin nation I would like to thank you for your generous donation. This is the soul fragment that was removed from your scar. We thought that you would like to see it, before we disposed of it." The Director then handed the sphere to Harry.

Harry examined the sphere and noticed the swirl of black energy now trapped inside. He suddenly noticed a the energy began to change into a face which suddenly screamed. Harry was so shocked that he dropped the sphere causing it to smash. Harry and the room noticed the soul fragment suddenly shot out of the ward, however instead of fleeing the bank it turned towards the entrance to the mine shaft leading to the vaults.

"What the devil! Sliphook track down that soul fragment immediately. I want to know where it goes, and why it is heading towards the vaults."

The small goblin bowed before taking off after the soul fragment.

Harry lowered his head, he couldn't believe he had been so clumsy. "Sorry about that. I was looking at the fragment when it changed shape into a face that suddenly screamed. I do hope I haven't caused any trouble."

The director shook his head. "No my Lord it is quite alright. In fact you might have done us a favour, but we will have to wait until sliphook gets back. Are here he is now. Sliphook what is that you have in your hands?"

Sliphook was holding a plastic see through box and inside was a silver goblet, engraved on the front of it was a badger. It was also surrounded by a dark aura. "Sir I tracked down the soul fragment, it descended all the way down to the lower vaults. It then stopped outside the Lestranges vault, it looked like it was trying to enter. I opened the vault and the soul fragment shot towards this cup, which was in the middle of the vault."

The director eyes narrowed. "Bloodthirsty, is it another one?" Ragnok watched as the ancient looking Goblin ran his staff over the top of the box and then turned and nodded. Ragnok was fuming, how dare a witch or wizard hide such a tainted object on their land. the Lestange vault would suffer for this.

"Sliphook leave the Horcux here, take a team and remove half of the gold in the Lestranges vault. That will teach them for hiding an item such as this on our land."

Harry kept looking at the cup. So it was another one. That would make two, Harry then had a flash back to his second year. The diary, Could that have been one too. "Sir is that another one of Voldemort's horcruxes?"

Ragnok turned to the young lord. "Indeed My Lord. It seems one was being held in one of the vaults. Had we destroyed the soul fragment then we might not have discovered this one. It was good thing you did drop that sphere."

Harry noticed Hermione could see he was in deep thought. "What are you thinking about Harry?" Hermione noticed that Harry turned towards her.

"I was thinking about the diary in our second year. You know the one that possessed Ginny and I stabbed it with the Basilisk fang. Dumbledore seemed rather interested in it. Also I remember when I stabbed it, there was an ear pitching scream that came from it."

Hermione eyes widened. She then turned to the Director. "Excuse me Director, could you take a memory from Harry. We think that he might have destroyed another one of Voldemort's horcruxes in his second year. However we thought that being how you deal with these objects on a daily basis then maybe you could tell us if it was a horcrux or not."

Ragnok stroked his chin. "It is possible Miss Granger. My Lord would you be willing to give us consent to retrieve the memory from you?"

Harry nodded his head. He then watched as Bloodthirsty approached him. For the first time since they have arrived at the bank Harry heard the ancient Goblin speak.

"My Lord I want you to concentrate on the memory and push it forward to the front of your mind."

Harry focused and bought the memory to the front of his mind. He then felt Bloodthirsty's staff touch is forehead. Attached to the end of the staff was a very fine silver strand which Harry noticed the Goblin placed in a vial.

"My Lord we will view the memory now." Ragnok then took the vial and tipped it into a pensive that had already been bought into the room. Ragnok and few other were about to peer inside it.

"Director, is it possible that Hermione can see the memory to? She never got to see what happened as she was petrified in the hospital wing, when I destroyed the Basilisk."

Ragnok nodded. "Miss Granger if you would like to view the memory as well you are more than welcome to do so." Ragnok then noticed the young girl stepped over to the pensive. Once everyone was around it they all dived their heads into the bowl.

Chamber Of Secrets Memory

Harry walked down into the chamber. it was then he saw a small girl laid across the floor. Harry ran towards the girl and then knelt down beside her. He was unaware that someone had stepped out of the shadows.

"It's okay she's still alive."

Harry turned his head towards the figure. There stood above him was a boy with black hair and dressed in Slytherin robes. Harry recognised the boy from the memory he had seen within the diary.

"Tom, we have to get her out of here. Please help me."

Tom paced around Harry and the girl, while the boy had been distracted Tom had picked up the boys wand and was now twirling through his fingers. "If you're worried about the Basilisk then you don't need to worry. it will only come when it's called."

Harry slowly stood up. It was then he noticed Tom had his wand. "Give me my wand Tom"

Tom Riddle just grinned a stepped a few feet back. "You won't be needing it. You see Harry I can't let you go, As Ginny gets weaker I grow stronger."

Harry was confused, however he noticed Tom was still grinning at him.

"That's right Harry, I used Ginny to open the Chamber Of Secrets, I was the one who released the Basilisk onto the student of this school. Trust me there would have been more students petrified had this silly girl not tried to destroy the diary. Then again had she not tried I would never have met you. Tell me how is it that boy no more than two years old, could survive the killing curse? How is it that you survived with just a scar, while Lord Voldemort was destroyed!"

Harry didn't have time for this. "Why do you care anyway? Voldemort was before your time."

Tom grinned again. He then used Harry's wand to write his name in mid air. "Voldemort is my past, present and future." Tom then waved his hand causing the letter rearrange themselves until 'I AM LORD VOLDEMORT' was floating in mid air.

Harry backed away in shock. "You! You're the Heir of Slytherin, You're Voldemort!"

Tom suddenly frowned and suddenly began to get angry. "Surely you didn't think I was going to keep my filthy muggle fathers name, did you? I created a new name. A name that would one day become the most powerful wizard in the world!"

Harry suddenly became very angry. "Albus Dumbledore is the most powerful Wizard in the world!"

Tom sneered. "Dumbledore has been pushed from the castle by the mere memory of me. There is no one who can stop me."

Harry growled in frustration. "He will never be gone, as long as those who are here remain loyal to him!" Both boys were now only a few inches apart, when both was distracted by a beautiful sound. Harry looked up to see Fawkes was flying towards him, with the sorting hat clutched in it's talons. Harry caught the hat and examined it, causing Tom to step back a little. Tom seeing there was no threat laughed.

"So this is what Dumbledore send his great defender, a song bird and an old hat." Tom then turned towards the main statue and began to hiss. He smiled as the mouth of the Salazar statue opened. He then turned to Harry.

"Lets see who is stronger, Harry Potter, or the heir of Slytherin."

Harry's eyes widened as he noticed the huge green head slide out of the statue mouth and then flopped into the pool of water. He quickly turned towards the exit and began to make a run for it.

Tom just laughed. "Parseltongue won't safe you now Potter, it only obeys me"

Harry suddenly tripped up, causing is glasses to slide off and shoot across the chamber floor. He could already hear the Basilisk was now hovering over him. He quickly covered his eyes, knowing the beast could kill with it's stare. However suddenly he heard Fawkes fly in. He heard the Basilisk hiss in pain, as Fawkes blinded the great snake.

"No!" Tom was livid, that blasted bird had now blinded the Basilisk. "You're bird might have blinded the Basilisk but it can still hear you!"

Harry slowly stood, he could see the Basilisk was now blind and it was thrashing about. He slowly took a step backwards, however as he did, he noticed the Basilisk suddenly stopped and it's head homed in on him. Harry jumped out of the way as the jaws suddenly snapped down. he noticed a huge pipe to his left and began to race down it. He could hear the coils of the Basilisk hot on his heels. Quickly he dived into a alcove and waited. He noticed the Basilisk had now stopped, it head only a few feet away from him. Harry stayed silent and then noticed a rock by his feet. he quietly knelt down picked it up then tossed it away. This seemed to have the desired effect as the Basilisk slivered away towards the noise. Harry waited until the snake had passed right by him, before running back the way he came. He found himself back in the chamber, not seeing the Basilisk around he ran towards Ginny and felt her cheeks, she was freezing. However before Harry could react there was a huge splash from the pool, and the Basilisk head rose up from the surf. Harry wasn't sure what to do, however it was then he noticed a soft glow was coming from the sorting hat. A silver and ruby handle suddenly appeared. He grabbed the handle and pulled a sword from the hat. Now he had a chance. It was small chance, but still better than nothing.

Tom looked on and sneered as Potter dodged the various snaps from the Basilisk jaws until he was standing on top of the head of Salazar swinging his sword from side to side. Tom smiled as the Basilisk knocked the boy off balance, however his smile suddenly vanished as he watched the brat stab the Basilisk through the roof of it's mouth. Tom growled as he watched the Basilisk then fall to the chamber floor dead. He was filled with absolute rage.

"No! Impossible." Tom then smiled as he noticed Potter was now crawling towards Ginny, a basilisk fang stuck out of his arm. He could feel Ginny dying meaning his resurrection was at hand.

"Funny isn't it, how fast the Basilisk venom penetrates the body. I say you have less than a minute to live. Ginny will soon be dead too. It's shame, what a small book can do in the hands of child. Hahahaha.. Wait what are you doing?"

Harry had pulled the fang from his arm, and pulled the diary away from Ginny. He then stabbed the diary with the fang, causing the ink to spray everywhere. He turned to Tom and noticed the boy was trying to grab him. However Harry stabbed another page, and another. He watched as Tom got weaker and weaker. Finally he shut the diary and then drove the fang right through the front of it. He heard the ear pitching scream, and Tom vanished.

Gringotts Medical wing

Harry noticed everyone was now pulling their head from the pensive. He suddenly had Hermione in his arms once more.

"Harry, how did you possibly defeat that thing, it must have been at least sixty foot long."

Ragnok was amazed. The boy had taken down a Basilisk only using a sword. A feat that not many could do, let a known a 13 year old. Ragnok noticed he wasn't the only ones shocked, by so were the rest of his staff. However the most important thing was the diary was indeed a horcrux, which meant three had now been destroyed. Just how many more were out there? Ragnok turned to the young Lord.

"My Lord, you are indeed a great wizard. To kill a Basilisk that large with just a sword is an amazing feat. As for the diary it seems you were correct in your assumptions that it was indeed a horcrux. So we now know that three of them have been destroyed. My guess is that he as made seven as that number is very powerful within our world. The question is now where are the other four? I want you to leave finding these objects to us My Lord. We can use the soul fragment we have now to track the rest of them."

Harry was shocked. "Director please take another 1,000,000 galleons from my vault. For this service."

Ragnok shook his head. "No My Lord, there will be no charge. This is personal now, one of those things were stored on Goblin soul, The dark lord this day has made a enemy of the Goblin nation, and we will use all our resources into finding the other horcruxes so if and when you come to face the Dark lord, then he will be mortal and you can kill him once and for all."

A few hours later, Harry and Hermione left Gringotts, it was getting late. Harry noticed Hermione had not let go of him since she had come out of the memory.

"Hermione, it's okay, I am not going anywhere without you and the others, I promise."

Hermione carried on holding onto Harry. "I just can't believe you faced that thing in the chamber. Surely Dumbledore knew what was down there, and so why did he leave it to a second year to deal with the beast. You could have been killed Harry, and If it wasn't for Fawkes you would have been. It just makes me wonder what else could the headmaster be hiding."

Harry stopped and pulled Hermione towards him. He then looked down into her face and saw the worry. "If he is hiding anything else, then we will all face him together. Now come on we better get back Hogwarts. We were due back two hours ago."

Hermione nodded and then allowed Harry to lead them back to the Port key point, where they both suddenly vanished in a swirl of magic.
