The following week, we started lessons again and I joined Harry in all his lessons. I joined him and Ginny at breakfast. I asked, "What class do we have first?"

He answered. "Potions with Slytherin." I groaned. I thought skipping a year would be good.

As we walked into the dungeon I saw Draco shooting me death glares. I rolled my eyes, he's still upset? I thought to myself. As we were getting seated, I went to go sit with Hermione but Professor Snape stopped me.

"I think you should work with the best student, to let's say, catch up." I groaned even louder when he pointed to the empty seat next to Draco.

"Potter." He said.

"Malfoy," I answered. As we got started. Professor Snape asked some basic questions, and my hand shot up for every answer.

"Ugh, you're even worse than the mudblood, Granger, behind us." I pushed him off his chair and acted like nothing happened. As he got up, he tried reporting me to Professor Snape who ignored him.

He sat back down next to me and hit me in the shoulder. I sharply asked, "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?" Suddenly he thought looking at his notes was very interesting. I went back to work when Professor Snape told us that we would make a love potion. As Draco and I finished our potion, I saw him slip some into a vile. I eyed him, but he slipped it into his pocket. I took out a vile too and also took some.

Today was a Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. I was praying Harry didn't get hurt, because last time he broke his arm and Professor Lockhart took out all the bones in his arm. But Professor McGonagall came running out saying the match was canceled. I saw her call Harry and Ron over and I followed them out. "Eliana, where are you going to? You have to be in your dormitory."

"I was just following you guys," I answered.

She nodded and responded, "I guess you can come too." We walked into the infirmary and I let out a gasp. It was Hermione, frozen. Her eyes were glassy and she looked like a hyper-realistic statue.

"Her-Her-Hermione!" Ron stuttered. I ran close to her as Professor McGonagall explained everything to the boys. I noticed a rolled-up piece of paper in her hand and pulled it out.

I opened it and gasped. "A basilisk." I quickly shoved it back into her hand. Everything is lined up now...

I hurried out when Professor McGonagall stopped me. "Wait. Let me escort you and the boys back." I waited and we then left and were brought up to our dormitory. She walked into our house with us and explained all the new rules to the Gryffindors. "No students are allowed to roam on their own. To use the bathroom, a teacher will escort you. Same between classes." I walked over to Ginny who was still pale.

"Hey, is everything alright?" I asked.

"Yes..." She responded. I noticed she was shaking but I didn't ask her about it. I went into our sleeping quarters and saw the diary. I decided I was to do something with it. I wrote Eliana Potter. At the top corner. Suddenly words started to form. Hello, my name is Tom Riddle. Is Harry your brother? I looked at the book shocked. Yes, I wrote, how do you know? More words began to appear. Ginny told me all about you and Harry. I wrote She's been holding onto this book for months. Writing, to you. She started writing in this right before the attacks started. Tom wrote back, Yes... this book holds the history of those attacks. Let. Me. Show. You. I responded, OK. The book flipped open.

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●

I didn't believe it. This could not have been true. Tom, what house were you in? I asked. The words appeared, Slytherin.

I knew it... the memory was a lie. I closed the book and went to bed, thinking about how to explain this to Harry tomorrow.

When Professor Lockhart was escorting us to our next class, I slipped away. I motioned Harry to join me. "What's wrong." He asked

"Harry, I found out about the Chamb-" The mirror behind him. My body tensed up and froze.

Harry's POV

"Ellie!" I cried. She froze up, just like Justin, Nick, Colin, and Hermione. It's not possible, she's a half-blood, I thought to myself. I called out, "Professor!!! HELP" Professor Snape dashed over, he wasn't who I was hoping for, but it was good enough, when he saw her, he was clearly upset.

"Help me bring her to the infirmary, then you must be brought to Professor McGonagall's office." He said, with a slight quiver in his voice.
