I do NOT OWN Harry Potter in any way and never will.

LoverOfRedheads Ginny will certainly be the main part of Harry's harem that I can assure you, but she will probably not be the first girlfriend/wife.
Starboy454 Hermione will probably be the first who really is with Harry, but I am not sure yet.

Chapter 2 The Chamber of Secrets remembered
29th May 1993, Chamber of Secrets, under Hogwarts
Harry is entering the chamber of secrets and thinks please Ginny be alive, please be alive. He sees Ginny lying in the chamber and starts running towards her. He kneels beside her and feels her hand. She is cold, very cold. Suddenly he hears a voice, a voice he heard before. The voice of the diary he found, Tom Marvolo Riddle. Harry asked "Tom? What are you a ghost?
"No, I am a memory preserved for 50 years." When Harry tried to wake Ginny up and was bending down to pull Ginny up. Tom said, "Ginny won't wake up."
"Tom. We need to get out of here there is a basilisk around here somewhere." Harry tries to get Ginny up again when he hears Tom say, "the basilisk will only come when it is called." Harry gently lowers Ginny down and looks at Tom.
Tom continued "I cannot let that happen when poor Ginny gets weaker, I get stronger. Why Ginny won't wake is because of the diary as you probably already know".
Harry thought 'yes I know.'
Tom begins by saying "it was Ginny who opened the chamber of secrets. It was Ginny who let the basilisk lose on the mudbloods and Filch's cat. It was Ginny who wrote the messages on the wall."
"She would never do that" Harry screamed.
"Oh, but Ginny did do all those things."
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Because I told her to ... you can see I can be very persuasive, poor little Ginny poured her heart and soul out in the diary about how the great Harry Potter didn't even know she exists. How much she wanted you to acknowledge her and just speak with her and how much she loved you." Hahaha laughs Tom.
"It was easy to make her do it, not that she knew what she was doing, she was in a kind of trance. She got scared of the power of the diary and tried to dispose of it near the entrance of the chamber and then you found it, the great Harry Potter."
"You are the very person I was most anxious to meet. I knew I had to meet you and talk to you if I could."
Harry thought about what Tom let him see and says, "Hagrid wasn't guilty it was you!"
"Of course, it was me, the big brainless oaf Hagrid likes monsters, so it was so easy to let him take the fall. It was to gain your trust, so I showed you my capture of Hagrid" Tom replies.
"Hagrid is my friend" Harry almost screams. Slowly Harry continued 'and you framed him".
"It was my word against Hagrid's only Dumbledore believed Hagrid and thought that he was innocent."
"But Dumbledore knew didn't believe you and saw right through you" Harry almost said smiling.
"After that Dumbledore kept an annoying close eye on me and I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the chamber again while I was in school. So, I left behind a diary with a 16-year-old preserved in the pages so one day I could lead again to finish Salazar Slytherin's noble work."
"It didn't work. The mandrakes are fully grown. In a few hours, the potion should be ready and everyone that was petrified will be alright".
Tom says "there aren't my target anymore. I got a new target and all thanks to little Ginny. For many months I had a new target …... YOU HARRY POTTER."
Harry then noticed that Tom has his wand. "Tom, give me back my wand" Harry slowly said.
Tom turns away from Harry and Ginny and asks, "tell me, Harry Potter, how can A BABY without extraordinary magical talent defeat the greatest wizard of all time with nothing but a scar while Lord Voldemort's power was destroyed?"
"Why does it matter how I escaped Voldemort after your time!"
Tom turns towards Harry and Ginny. He replied, "LORD Voldemort is my past, present, and FUTURE!" Tom uses Harry's wand and shows fiery letters in the air TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE and waves with Harry's wand and the letters rearrange themselves and now show I AM LORD VOLDEMORT.
Harry says "you're the heir of Slytherin! You are Voldemort"
Tom says "you surely wouldn't think that I keep my filthy muggle father's name, did you? He wasn't even a lord so I fashioned a new name, a name all wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world."
Harry steps forward and says "Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world."
"Dumbledore is been driving out of his castle by a mere memory of me," Tom says.
Harry replies "He'll never be gone not as long those who remain loyal to him are in the castle." (A/N loyal to HIM hmmm.)
"After you are dead and I am reborn, the basilisk will go through the whole school and kill all unworthy. It is time, in just a few little minutes Ginny Weasley will be dead and I will cease to be a memory. Lord Voldemort will return, be reborn and be very much alive. Too bad you are not going to see it happen. Now, Harry, I'm going to teach you a little lesson. Let's match the power of Lord Voldemort, Heir of Salazar Slytherin, against the famous Harry Potter."
Tom turns towards the statue and takes a few steps forward and says §"Speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four! Lend your heir your weapon to defend the school and kill those that attack it§.
The mouth opened but Tom continued saying §those unworthy of the wizarding world§ did not notice the mouth already opening.
Harry sees something sliding around before leaving the mouth. Before the basilisk left the opening Fawkes, the sorting hat and surprisingly Hedwig came into the chamber. Hedwig lands on his right shoulder. Fawkes drops the sorting hat in Harry's hand before Harry and lands on his left shoulder. Harry looks at the sorting hat not knowing what to do. The Basilisk is fully outside of the opening. Tom says §kill the boy§.
The basilisk looks at Tom and says §yes master§.
"Parseltongue won't help you now Harry Potter the basilisk only obeys me." Hedwig nibs in Harry's ear saying I trust that you can do this. Fawkes thrills encouragement and feels like saying the same.
The basilisk starts sliding towards Harry. Harry turns around and runs while Hedwig and Fawkes fly off his shoulders in front of Harry. Harry trips and Fawkes and Hedwig start distracting the basilisk. Tom angrily says §leave the birds, get the boy§. Harry gets up from the ground and sees the sorting hat lying in front of him and says it needs help to defeat the basilisk.
At the opening of the sorting hat, a little light appears, and he suddenly sees a hilt with Ruby, lions, a stag and a doe. Harry grabs the hilt and it appears to be a real sword. He turns around and sees Hedwig almost get hit with the basilisk's mouth and right after with the basilisk's tail.
He shouts "Hedwig please bring yourself to safety. Fawkes you too."
Hedwig doesn't fly away but keeps distracting the basilisk. Harry shouts "NOW Hedwig, get to safety. Fawkes if you want you can also go" Harry says in a normal tone.
Hedwig looks at Harry and sees his facial expression of concern and nothing else but determination. Hedwig nods and leaves Fawkes follows but only to the end of the room and stays there while Hedwig disappears out of sight. Harry tries talking to the basilisk §stop§.
The basilisk hesitates and slowly sis §you are a speaker too! I don't want to do this but the heir of my master orders me and I must follow his orders. I am truly sorry§.
Tom sees nothing happening and says §what are you waiting for he is right in front of you. KILL HIM§.
The basilisk tries to bite Harry, but he jumps aside and starts running to an opening at the side of the room. It was the entrance to some of the pipes the basilisk could use to get into the school. He ran until he came back into the chamber he wasn't gone long.
Fawkes was still there; Ginny was still lying there, and Tom wasn't completely solid yet so not yet alive. He sees the basilisk exit one of the pipes and Harry rum towards the statue of Salazar Slytherin and starts climbing the statue. Halfway up the statue, the basilisk tries to bite him but the basilisk misses. On top of it, he tries stabbing the basilisk with the sword and hits one of his large fangs and the fang falls to the ground.
The Basilisk is in pain §aaauuuugggghhhhh§ and turns back towards Harry and tries biting him again. Harry evades the attack and tries to stab the basilisk again. The basilisk evades and tries biting Harry again. The basilisk comes towards Harry and Harry tries stabbing him again he hits the basilisk, but he also got a fang in his upper right arm. The basilisk lost another fang and got a stabbing wound around his neck and mouth. The basilisk retreats and goes back to the pipes. The basilisk bleeds and is losing much blood.
He stumbles with the sword in hand and a fang with much blood from the basilisk in his arm towards Ginny. He drops down beside her and puts his hand over hers.
Tom says "remarkable isn't it how quickly the venom of the basilisk penetrates the body. I'll guess you have a little more than a minute to live, you will be with your dear mudblood mother soon enough."
Tom gave a smile" funny the damage a silly little book can do especially in the hands of a silly little girl."
Harry grabs the book and opens it. He grabs the fang that he, not just a minute before dropped on the ground next to him.
Tom surprised asks "what are you doing?" and almost screams "stop no" at the same time Harry stabs the diary.
Tom grabs his chest where the light appeared and it seems it is 'hurting' him. He looks at Harry stops holding his chest and tries to attack him. Before Tom reaches Harry, Harry stabs the next page and light starts to appear inside his face. Tom grabs his face, and the attack stopped. Harry sees this and stabs the front of the diary. Tom screamed and explode in a bright light which sends Harry back a few feet.
10th August 1993, The Leaky Cauldron, London
Harry fell out of his bed. He is very sweaty, and his bed is wet from his sweat too. He went to sit on a chair near the window and sees the time, it was 03:07 am. He remembered what he dreamed of. His thoughts went further when the dream stopped.
29th May 1993, Chamber of Secrets, under Hogwarts
He crawled towards Ginny. Ginny almost wakes up immediately and sees Harry and says almost sobbing "Harry I am sorry I didn't want to".
"Ginny it is all right I wasn't your fault."
"Harry you are hurt," Ginny says surprised.
"I was just too slow," Harry says to Ginny and Fawkes. Harry tries to get up and take Ginny with him. Fawkes lands on the ground right before Harry gets up and heals Harry wound with his tears. Fawkes flies up and lands on Harry's shoulder. When they reach the entrance Harry collapsed onto his knees. He says to Fawkes "get Ginny, Ron and Lockhart" and get them out of here."
Ginny says, "no you need to come too."
"Ginny I will Fawkes can't take so many people through flame travel he will pick me and the sorting hat up afterwards, right Fawkes?" Harry explained and asks. Fawkes nods and thrills an accepting tune.
Ginny says "I will wait for you. No, you go I promise I will be there as soon as I can" Harry answers.
After Fawkes flames Ginny out. Harry shouts in parseltongue §king of serpents, hear my call and come to me. The heir of your master is dead§.
Harry hears nothing but after a small minute, he sees the basilisk entering the chamber again and hisses §the bad heir is gone?§
Harry said §yes Tom is gone§.
Harry asks a few questions that bothered him. Harry asked the basilisk why Tom could look at the basilisk without a chance that he died or got petrified.
The basilisk says that parseltongues are not hurt by her eyes. Also, the basilisk says that with her second eyelid, she can cancel the effect from her eyes to no speakers but it cost a lot of concentration and she never learned it so her concentration can slip quite easily but she will try to learn it. She apologizes for biting, but she had no choice. Harry asked if the basilisk will still attack people. The basilisk hisses §no, I never wanted to do that but because he was the heir of my master Salazar Slytherin, I needed to obey him§.
§I know you never wanted to, I heard earlier this year. What is your name if I may ask?§
§Salazar Slytherin called me Medusa§. (A/N I know it is used but it just suits the basilisk)
§Can I call you Medusa?§
§Yes, you can speaker.§
§how did you survive all those years; I know that you can live for hundreds if not thousands of years, but you need to eat right?§
§Some tunnels head towards the forest and I was hibernating for many years.§
§Can you hunt there and not enter the school, please?§
§I can do that, and I will not enter the school unless you ask me to, speaker or if the school is in danger and the danger is inside the school§.
§Thank you, Medusa. Please don't go too far from the tunnel because sometimes people from school or Hagrid the gamekeeper are in the forest and I think you and I don't want to hurt them§.
Harry thinks and continues before Medusa can reply. §you can eat spiders there is a large colony inside the forest I think one of the tunnels should probably be close to the colony, but don't attack Aragog the largest spider. Can you eat many spiders because there are also other creatures like rats I think?§
§I can eat spiders and I don't think more than 7 small ones or 3 large ones a month. Large is about your size speaker§
§Then it should be no problem and I am sure there are other creatures if necessary. Can I keep the three fangs you just lost?§
§Can you replace them? They are important.§
§I think I can replace them with maybe a potion or something like that.§
§If you can, speaker, then you can have them.§
§And what about the shed skin or if I need some of your poison?§
§Speaker, you can take the skin and if you need poison, I can give you some when I got all four fangs again. If you don't mind, speaker, I need to recover. The wounds hurt a lot, but I can heal them myself I just need to rest§
§Okay Medusa, I am also very sorry for the wounds.§
§Thank you speaker, but I understand why you did that.§
§Goodbye Medusa. I will try to find a solution for your fangs, but I probably don't find it before September when the new school year starts§
§That is okay, speaker. Goodbye, speaker§ and Medusa slid back inside the statue.
After Medusa went into the statue the sorting hat says "it seems I was wrong, Gryffindor is better for you it seems. You are a real Gryffindor but now you are more than just a Gryffindor."
Before Harry could ask what the sorting hat said and what he meant Fawkes came back. Fawkes flamed Harry and the sorting hat out and landed in McGonagall's office. Harry comes into a world of noise.
29th May 1993, Professor McGonagall's office, Hogwarts
Mrs. Weasley is shouting "Ginny dear, is everything okay? Ginny, please say something. What is wrong?"
The only thing Ginny said was "Harry."
Fawkes takes the Sorting Hat and Sword of Gryffindor in his claws and flames out. He looks for Ginny and sees her and gave her a small smile. Ginny run towards him and hugged him. Ginny was happy to see him okay and that he fulfilled his promise to her. She started crying in his chest and tightens the hug "I was so scared it took so long before you were here" she said in his ear.
Harry tries to jump apart when he sees Mr. and Mrs. Weasley sitting in a chair in front of Professor McGonagall but landed on the floor with Ginny on top of him still not letting go. Professor McGonagall transfigures a big chair and levitates Harry in the chair with Ginny on his lap. Harry suddenly sees Hedwig at the window and asked if Professor McGonagall can open the window. Hedwig flies in and lands on his right shoulder and starts slightly bumping his head against Harry's in a form of affection. Soon Ginny's grip slacked because she had fallen asleep. Ginny was lifted off his lap and put in Mr. Weasley's lap.
Meanwhile, the adults talked with Harry. Harry told the story about the chamber and what happened. By the time he told he got bitten Mrs. Weasley and Professor McGonagall were crying and Mr. Weasley had a pale face. Ginny cuddled in her sleep against Mr. Weasley when Harry said that. When the story finished Mrs. Weasley hugged him almost to death and Professor McGonagall even walk up to him and gave him a small hug and smiled.
McGonagall said, "I couldn't do anything when I heard from Neville …. I mean Mr. Longbottom that you went to the chamber of secrets, he forgot where the entrance was because he was very worried about you, Mr. Weasley and Miss Weasley." Fawkes flamed in with a letter for Professor McGonagall saying that Harry needed to go to the headmaster's office because Professor Dumbledore was back.
29th May 1993, Headmaster Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts
Harry was sent to the headmaster's office because Dumbledore just returned and wanted to talk to Harry. Ron was already there after first going to the hospital wing with Professor Lockhart. As soon as he entered Dumbledore send Ron back to the hospital wing to rest. Harry pets Fawkes who returns to the headmaster's office after flaming everybody out. "Harry, my boy please sit down we have a lot to talk about," Professor Dumbledore says.
"Okay, Professor Dumbledore" Harry replies. They started talking about what happened in the chamber.
The last question from Professor Dumbledore was the question "what happened to the basilisk?"
Before Harry could answer the door opened and Lucius Malfoy came in with Dobby right behind him. Before Harry could restrain himself, he said: "so this is the family you work for."
Lucius Malfoy sneered at Dobby "we will talk about this at home."
"So, you are back. The board of governors suspended you Dumbledore. Why are you back? You are not allowed to be here" Lucius Malfoy ended.
"The board of governors contacted me when they heard that Ginny Weasley, Arthurs Weasley's daughter was taken to the chamber of secrets. The board of governors wanted me back immediately. I also heard that if the governors didn't agree with your proposal of suspending me you would hex their family" Dumbledore replied smiling a little bit.
Lucius Malfoy directly said, "well did you already stop the attack?"
"Yes, we did."
"Who was it then?"
"The same one as last time Lucius but this time he used someone" Dumbledore showed him pointing to the diary on his desk.
"We must be happy that Harry and his friend Ron Weasley did find out. Nobody couldn't say that Ginny Weasley was possessed and didn't do it out of her free will. Think what effect I could have on the ancient pureblood house of Weasley and especially on Arthur Weasley and his Muggle Protection Act when his own daughter attacked muggleborns."
Dobby tugged on Harry's robe pointing towards Lucius Malfoy with his head before trying to punish himself for doing it. Harry asked, "Mr. Malfoy don't you want to know how Ginny Weasley got the diary?"
"How should I know how a silly little girl gets her hands on that diary?" Lucius Malfoy replied.
"Are you sure Mr. Malfoy I remember that you slipped it in with her transfiguration book when we met you in Flourish and Blotts, Diagon Alley at the start of the year?" Harry says.
"Try to prove that," Mr. Malfoy said with a smirk.
Dumbledore said "that is impossible especially because Riddle isn't in the diary anymore. I do want to warn you, Mr. Malfoy, to not give any of Voldemort's old school supplies away anymore. If more of these things show up in innocent hands, I think Arthur Weasley to just name someone would go to great lengths to prove they came from you." Dumbledore also said "we should thank Harry, he defeated Voldemort. If he didn't do that the school was still under attack and should have been closed. He saved the school."
Lucius Malfoy said with an emotionless and harsh voice "well let's hope that Mr. Potter is always around to save the school."
Harry looks toward Mr. Malfoy and said, "don't worry I will always be there."
Lucius Malfoy said with a sneer "I need to go. Good day Dumbledore. Dobby, we leave come on" and walked away while hitting Dobby with his cane.
Harry quickly asked if he could have the diary to give back. Dumbledore's eyes twinkled and said "of course Harry my boy. It would only be nice to give it back."
29th May 1993, the corridor outside headmaster Dumbledore's office by the Phoenix, Hogwarts
Harry quickly went after Lucius Malfoy while grabbing the diary from Professor Dumbledore s desk. He saw him walking away and shouted: "Mr. Malfoy wait I thought I should give it back."
Mr. Malfoy grabbed the book and throws it at Dobby and Dobby catches it. Mr. Malfoy says to Harry "you should watch out Mr. Potter or you would soon join your mudblood mother." Lucius turns around to walk away.
Harry wanted to reply but didn't do it instead he mouthed to Dobby to open it. Inside was a sock.
Mr. Malfoy noticed Dobby not following him and said, "Dobby come here we are leaving".
Dobby replied with "master gave me clothes, Dobby is free." Lucius Malfoy looked to Dobby and saw a sock and a smiling Harry with one pants leg pulled up showing he missed one sock.
"You lost me, my servant. Avada k-"
"You will not harm Harry Potter," Dobby said quickly and blasted Mr. Malfoy into a wall.
10th August 1993, The Leaky Cauldron, London
Without knowing, Harry said while coming out of his memories says, "thank you Dobby."
Harry hears a small pop. He looks and sees Dobby bowing and asking what he can do for Harry. Harry says, "Dobby I was thinking about last school year and now that you are here, I want to thank you again for saving me from Mr. Malfoy."
Dobby smiled and nod his head and replied "Dobby is happy that Dobby could help Master Harry."
"Huh, Dobby no offence but you do look younger than before how is that possible?"
"Master Harry is the reason that Dobby looks younger. House-elves 'feed' on the magic from a wizard, if the wizard is powerful the house-elf (or elves) will live longer and look healthier. That is why Dobby looks younger Master Harry. Can Dobby do something for Master Harry, sir?"
Harry thinks and said sure "Dobby can you go downstairs and ask Tom the barkeeper for some breakfast and some bacon strips for Hedwig if you want something to drink or eat take some and could you lo..."
Before he could continue, a sobbing Dobby hugs his leg and says, "Master Harry is so good to Dobby."
Harry says, "Dobby it is alright, but Dobby this is important can you find a book to regrow teeth or fangs and especially by snakes or do you can do the magic to do it?"
Dobby looks at Harry and shook his head "Master Harry Dobby can't do that magic, but Dobby will look for a book or something else that could help Master Harry, sir! Dobby will first get some breakfast and bacon strips for Master Harry and his owl."
Hedwig hoots happily and Dobby pops away. Harry sees it is 08:48 now and Dobby returns with the breakfast and bacon and said "Mister Tom already was ready to bring it up to Master Harry but Dobby did it instead"
Harry immediately says "okay thank you Dobby. Do you want something to eat?"
Dobby shook his head "Dobby has already eaten Master Harry Dobby will try to find the book in the library at the castle or somewhere else."
"Okay, Dobby if you need money come to me and I will give you the money but only come if I am alone."
"Yes, Master Harry". Dobby says goodbye and so does Harry. While Harry eats his breakfast, he sees the tip of the fangs from the basilisk in his trunk. He thinks about today, 'what to do?'
Then Harry thinks to do the homework downstairs, he is almost ready. He thinks if I do it now and finish it, I can do fun things for the rest of the vacation maybe already try some books for this year or start on the goblin book. The goblin book looks interesting or he could read the history of magic book maybe he could learn something instead of from the class where he falls asleep like all students save Hermione. Before he could decide there is a tap on the window and sees an owl, he does not recognize it, with a letter for him.
A/N
I was a little disappointed to almost nobody decided to answer my questions. So, I took the liberty to answer the basilisk one how I want. For the other ones you can still answer what you want. I do want to thank those that answered the question or even came with suggestions. This will probably be one of the longest chapters. The chamber of secrets took me more time and words than I thought beforehand. Next chapter Hermione comes by again and starts what she did over de summer and Harry starts to notice her a bit but just a little bit of course, the question who sent the letter?
I am already working on the next chapter and it will probably be uploaded before next Sunday. I reload this chapter because there were some obvious errors.
Please review and probably will answer them in the next chapter or PM me with a question and I will answer if I can. Again, the English language isn't my first sorry for any grammatical or language errors.
