(Y/n) POV

I had just woken up after I touched the diary pages.

Everything was blurry until it slowly came back into focus.

Ginny was sobbing hysterically, Harry was hurt. We were all covered in dirty water and muck.

I ran over to Ginny and wrapped her in a tight hug.

"I'm not leaving you two, you're hurt Harry." She said.

"Ginny, I need you to help me. I'm going to help Harry up, okay? Then we're gonna get out of here." I said.

She wiped her nose and sniffled. She helped me lift Harry up. His wound had healed, but he was exhausted.

We put his arms around our shoulders and we all walked down the pathway.

I heard rocks shoveling and then I saw Ron's face.

"Ginny!" Ron yelled as he pushed through the rocks.

Him and Draco were completely covered with debris.

Draco stood there just glaring at me with his white blonde hair gray from dust.

"Black? Are.. you okay?" He said quietly as he walked up slowly to me. He must have seen Harry's blood on my robes.

"I'm fine Draco. I told you I'd be back." I smirked.

"I'm going to be expelled, I just know it!" Ginny said.

"Black, what happened in there?" Draco asked as he looked at Harry covered in blood.

"I um- I don't really remember." I said as I looked at the ground.

"How do you not remem-"

"Malfoy."

"What Pottah?" He spat.

"She was unconscious." Harry explained.

"Unconscious?" Draco looked at him confused.

"Bloody hell, how'd that happen?" Ron questioned.

"Er, well, she ran ahead of me and touched the diary's pages. Her and Ginny were um.. he um was draining their life force to um- well. Be human again."

"Who?" Draco asked confused.

"Voldemort." Harry said.

"Don't say that name!" Ron and Draco said at the same time.

"What? It's his name!" Harry argued. "Where's Lockhart?"

He was sitting in the rubble humming to himself.

"His Memory Charm backfired. Hasn't got a clue who he is. We keep having to stop him wandering off. He's a danger to himself." Ron explained.

"Hello! Odd sort of place, this, isn't it? Do you live here?"

"No!" Draco and Ron shouted at the same time.

Later, the five of us were standing in Dumbledore's office.

"Ingenious. Simply... ingenious. Of course, Tom Riddle was probably the most brilliant student
Hogwarts has ever seen. I taught him myself fifty years ago. After he left, I would occasionally hear stories of his activities. Dark rumors but after awhile, even the rumors stopped. When he finally resurfaced as Lord Voldemort, most people had completely forgotten the clever Head Boy he'd once been."
