Book 2] Harry Potter x Male OC

Part 14-The Encounter

Harry.POV

Me and Lucas walk down the stairs as the door shut itself. The place got so many snake head sculptures. We walk through the path until i see Ginny laying down on the floor infront of us. We run towards her and check her

Harry : Ginny ! Ginny, please don't be dead. Wake up, wake up. Please wake up

??? : she won't awake. She's Petrified

And then there is someone who appears from the shadows. It was the student from before where we being suck to the book

Harry : Tom. Tom Riddle. What do you mean, she won't wake ? She's no...?

Tom : she's still alive, but only just

Harry : are you a ghost ?

Tom : a memory, preserved in a diary for 50 years

Harry : she's cold as ice. Ginny, please don't be dead. Wake up. You've got to help me Tom. There's a basilisk

Harry said as Tom picks up Harry's wand

Tom : it won't come until it's called

I see my wand already on his hand

Harry : give me my wand, Tom

Tom : you won't be needing it

Lucas : and why is that ? We've got to go. We've got to save her

Tom : i'm afraid i can't do that, Grindelwald. You see, as poor Ginny grows weaker, i grow stronger. Yes Lucas, Harry. It was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets

Harry : no she couldn't. She wouldn't

Tom : it was Ginny who set the basilisk on the Mudbloods and Filch's cat, Ginny wrote the threatening messages on the walls

Harry : why ?

Tom : because i told her to. You'll find i can be very persuasive. Not that she knew what she was doing. She was, shall we say, in a kind of trance. Still the power of the diary began to scare her. She tried to dispose of it in the girl's bathroom, and then who should find it but you two ? The very person i was most anxious to meet and the person who's i was most to hate

Harry : and why did you want to meet me ?

Tom : i knew i had to talk to you, meet you if i could. So i decided to show you my capture of that brainless oaf Hagrid to gain your trust

Harry : Hagrid is our friend. And you framed him, didn't you ?

Tom : it was my word against Hagrid's. Only Dumbledore seemed to think he was innocent

Harry : i'll bet Dumbledore saw right through you

Tom : he certainly kept an annoyingly close watch on me after that. I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the Chamber again while i was at school so i decided to leave behind a diary, preserving my 16 year old self in it's pages so that one day i would be able to lead another to finish Salazar Slytherin's noble work

Harry : well you haven't finished it this time. In a few hours, the Mandrake Draught will be ready. And everyone who was Petrified will be all right again
