"Ginny." We run to her, drops his wand and gets on his knees

"Ginny. No, Ginny. Please don’t be dead. Wake up. Wake up! Please wake up." I was very scared for her

"She won’t wake." We heard an saw a boy

"Tom? Tom Riddle? What do you mean she won’t wake? She’s not...?"

"She’s still alive, but only just."

"Are you a ghost?"

"A memory, preserved in a diary for fifty years." I reach out and touched Ginny

"Harry, She's as cold as ice." I tell him worry

"Ginny, please don't be dead. Wake up. You've got to help us, Tom. There's a Basilisk."

"It won't come until it's called."

"What?" I asked confused Harry looks up to see Riddle holding his wand and stands up

"Give me my wand, Tom."

"You won't be needing it."

"Listen, we've got to go. We've got to save her!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Harry. You see, as poor Ginny grows weaker, I grow stronger. Yes, Harry. It was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets." My eyes widen in shock looking at Ginny then back at him

"No. She couldn't. She wouldn't." I stutter in disbelief ginny wouldn't dare hurt her anyone

"It was Ginny who set the Basilisk on the Mudbloods and Filch's cat, Ginny who wrote the threatening messages on the walls."

"But why?"

"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. And she tried to dispose of it in the girls' bathroom. And then, who should find it but you? The very person I was most anxious to meet or your friend here." He placed his hand under my chin to look at him

"Serenity Dumbledore in all her beauty." I slap his hand away from me harshly

"Dont dare touch me." I snarled at him

"And why did you want to meet me or serenity?"

"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."

"Hagrid's our friend! And you framed him, didn't you?" I said in anger my eyes and hair were turning white

"It was my word against Hagrid's. Only Dumbledore seemed to think he was innocent."

"I'll bet Dumbledore saw right through you."

"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 still at school, so I decided to leave behind a diary, preserving my sixteen-year-old self in its pages, so that one day, I would be able to lead another, to finish Salazar Slytherin's noble work."

"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."

"Haven't I told you? Killing Mudbloods doesn't matter to me anymore. For many months now, my new target has been you or Serenity. How is it that a baby with no extraordinary magical talent was able to defeat the greatest wizard of all time? How did you escape with nothing but a scar while Lord Voldemort's powers were destroyed?"

"Why do you care how I escaped? Voldemort was after your time."

"Voldemort is... my past, present, and future."

"What?" I was confused until He turns toward the statue and uses Harry's wand to write his full name in flaming letters; after writing the "E", he flicks the wand, and the letters rearrange themselves to say "I AM LORD VOLDEMORT my eyes widen in shock I gasp

"You. You're the Heir of Slytherin. You're Voldemort."

"Surely, you didn't think I was going to keep my filthy Muggle father's name? No. I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!"

"Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world!"

"Dumbledore's been driven out of this castle by the mere memory of me!"

"He'll never be gone! Not as long as those who remain are loyal to him or his family!" Harry and Riddle glare at each other, Harry I and Riddle look down the corridor to see Fawkes flying towards them, carrying something

"Fawkes?" I smiled Fawkes drops a bundled-up object into Harry's hands as he flies over and around them, then back down the corridor i felt a source of power growing in me, Harry unrolls the object, which turns out to be the Sorting Hat

"So this is what Dumbledore sends his great defender: A songbird and an old hat." He backs away from Harry as he continues examining the Sorting Hat, then walks toward the Slytherin statue and extends his left hand

"Shearhas- Samnathas- Sélithaeine." He Speak to it in, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four

"Let's match the power of Lord Voldemort, Heir of Salazar Slytherin, against the famous Harry Potter and Serenity Dumbledore."
