Stay With Me: Hogwarts Rewritten

Part 27

I couldn't sleep that night. The book kept me awake, I tried to sleep. I was just wondering who would throw this book at myrtle? She was just a ghost. Maybe they were trying to get her attention? I had no idea

I walked downstairs to the common room and sat near the fire hoping to find some answers. It looked just like a normal black book, so I looked at the cover and I noticed something at the bottom.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle? Who's that?" I asked myself

I had to ask Hermione, she had to know who he was.

I grabbed my quill and ink and decided to write in the journal. I placed my quill on the page and suddenly it disappeared. Huh? I wrote my name just to see it would that again.

My name then disappeared once again, but this time the book responded and introduced itself. Tom Riddle. This must be his book?

I ran over to the girls staircase and did the spell Hermione taught me. She wanted to make sure I knew how to reach her if anything were to happen. I walked up the stairs and peaked into Hermione's room. She was still sleeping. I walked over to her bed and shook her awake.

"Harry? What time is it? Is everything okay?" She asked sitting up and rubbing her eyes

"I have to show you something" I told her

She put her robe on and walked back downstairs with me. I explained to her everything that happened and decided to show her the book.

I asked the book asked if he could tell me about the chamber of secrets. He had to of known about it. Everything that happened this year can not be a coincidence.

"Harry....Tom Riddle? I don't recognize that name" She said looking at the book

"No...let me show you. I will take back 50 years ago" I read from the book and Hermione jumped when the pages started turning

Suddenly a bright light shined and I grabbed Hermione's hand. When I opened my eyes and looked around to myself in the hallway.

"Harry where are we?" I heard Hermione whisper and she grabbed my arm

Without answering, we walked over towards the staircase and saw a man standing on the stairs. That must be Tom Riddle, and I knew Hermione thought the same.

"Sir? Are you Tom Riddle?" Hermione asked him, but he didn't answer, he was just staring

I then heard footsteps and saw a few men walk down with a body. A body? That must be the student that died all those years ago, but what does that have to do with Tom?

"Riddle? What are you doing wondering around this late at night?" I heard someone ask

It was professor Dumbledore.

"I'm sorry professor. I just wanted to find out if the rumors were true. They couldn't possibly close the school down, could they?" Tom asked the professor

"I'm afraid I don't know the answer Tom"

"If the person who did this was caught, could that prevent the school from closing down?" He asked

"Is there something you want to tell me Tom?" Dumbledore asked him

He just shook his head and walked back down the stairs. I grabbed Hermione's hand and we decided to follow Tom to see where he walked off to. To my surprise we followed him all the way to Hagrid.

"Hagrid? What does he have to do with this?" Hermione asked me

"I don't like this Hermione" I said as Tom opened the door
