Chapter 8
##### Memory 2 #####
Part 3 :
Everybody saw The Wizard World savior in him, But No One Ever Saw the Little Broken Boy He was. Professor Snape saw him now, the only question to be asked - could he still save this broken and scarred boy or not?
The next memory was harsh, the Weasley twins was making fun of Harry by calling him the Slytherin heir and calling him an evil and dark wizard. Ronald Weasley told Harry they were just having fun, but he wasn't having any fun.
The Polyjuice Potion came on well, The Granger girl used Milicent Bulstrode's hair that she got from her robes, while Harry and Weasley used Crabbe and Goyle's hair which they had knocked out and hid in the janitor's closet.
Professor Snape was surprised that the three students had drunk their potion and that it had worked. He wondered for a brief moment how they were not caught but shrugged it off.
Percy Weasley found them looking for the Slytherin Common Room but for once Draco Malfoy rescued them, Ronald Weasley asked his brother what he was doing there forgetting that Percy was a prefect and didn't know that he was Ron.
Malfoy looked rather irritated for he had been looking for the two brutes and when he finally found them, they were held up by Percy. Malfoy rudely asked Harry why he was wearing glasses and Harry said that they were reading glasses - Harry couldn't tell Malfoy in good conscious that he had forgotten to take them off for he was used to his crooked and broken glasses.
Draco looked at him and stated in a surprised tone that he hadn't known that he could read and then turned around and asked Percy in a more ruder tone what he was doing there down in the dungeons.
Professor Snape looked aghast, Malfoy couldn't even tell that the two boys was imposters and not his bodyguards or ' his friends'. That boy could be daft sometimes.
Draco Malfoy hadn't given them a lot of information but they did find out that the chamber had not been opened in Fifty years and that a student was expelled for it.
They quickly left after that for Draco was becoming suspicious, just to run in to the real Crabbe and Goyle while they were still half transformed.
Draco didn't notice the two boys dissappear from behind him, they had quietly slipped away when he was still talking.
Moaning Myrtle led Weasley and Harry to a bathroom stall where they could hear whimpering from and they found a half cat and half human Hermione Granger in the stall.
Professor Snape gave his infamous sneer at this for the hair the girl got was cat hair, it was rather stupid of the girl to use hair she got of a robe.
Myrtle laughed at Hermione while Ronal snickered at his friend, poor Harry would rather be anywhere but here, after Hermione went to the Medi - Wing and Ron and Harry went up the stairs, they found the third floor flooded with water and a crying Myrtle for someone had thrown her with a book. Myrtle didn't like Ronald much and when he commented on something, she almost went ballistic on him.
(Severus thought that was his due to get a ballistic Myrtle for all the things they have done to Harry.)
Harry was a sweet boy and tried calming her down and to ask what has happened to make her sad and cry.
They found Tom Riddle's Diary in the bathroom, that was the book Moaning Myrtle was thrown with. They had shown it to Hermione and Ronald had been reminded of a Trophy with his name on it for some special service or something he had done for the school Fifty years back - the same year Hagrid got expelled.
Hermione thought that Tom Riddle would have written the location of the Chamber of Secrets in there and any information he had, but Harry told her nothing was written in the Diary of Tom Riddle.
He got an idea to write in the Diary after a blotch of ink fell of his quil and told the Diary that his name is Harry Potter. And the ink disappeared, he even looked behind the page and there was nothing!!
When the Diary answered him back that his name is Tom Riddle, he yet again spoke to him, but this time asked him a question. Did he know anything about The Chamber of Secrets?
His answer was a simple, yes.
Professor Snape wondered how many times had he thought that boy was daft, maybe this proved him right. Because who in their right mind would ask an unknown Diary for information, it could be a trap and why would you believe them?? He gave his famous sneer and he would have glared at the boy, if Harry could see him!!
What Professor Snape didn't know was that Harry felt a connection to the Diary and thus trusted the unknown person.
Tom Riddle's Diary took him back Fifty years back to when he was still at school.
***** 13th June*****
Harry saw a young Tom on the stairs, he was a handsome young teen with Black hair and blue eyes. He questioned the boy but he didn't hear him. The next part was quite disturbing to see as a stretcher was carried by four people down the stairs and as they walked by Tom, a female hand could be seen.
Suddenly a younger looking Headmaster Dumbledore called Tom to speak to him. He had warned Tom that it wasn't wise to wander around so late and that they may close the school.
Tom looked worried for he had no home to go back to and asked what would happen if it stopped - the killings?
Harry followed Tom down to the Dungeons where he found a younger Hagrid hiding Aragog. Hagrid told Tom that it wasn't Aragog, but Tom still insisted that Hagrid move out of the way and when he didn't move, Tom used a spell and blasted the cage holding Aragog and out came a spider.
Yet again Tom used a spell and Aragog disappeared. Tom told Hagrid that he couldn't let him go and that they would have Hagrid's wand for this and that he would be expelled.
The door closed and Harry was thrown out by the book. All the way shouting Hagrid's name.
*****
Harry wondered for a moment after thanking Tom Riddle, could Hagrid have really opened the Secret of Chambers?
Ronald came into the room and demanded that Harry tell him what had happened and Harry quietly told him.
The next day Ronald told Hermione that it was Hagrid, but she insisted that it couldn't have been him. Harry only wanted to go back to his bed and hide under his blanket, where there was peace and nobody would bother him. But frankly that was too much to ask for.
Ronald then told Harry that they didn't know Tom Riddle and that he sounded like a slimy snake to him. Harry looked at Ronald and gave him a disappointed look, he kept bad mouthing the Slytherins, they still were Wizards and Witches too, just like them.
Harry thought who was Ronald to judge a person he hadn't met or spoken to, didn't he do the same to Malfoy?
While Ronald and Hermione were arguing about it, Hagrid came up behind them with Flesh Eating Slug Repellent for the Mandrakes. He also told them once the Arachne ( spelling?) cleared up that they would be able to chop them up and stew them, then they would be able to un petrified all the students. Hagrid warned them that they too should be careful.
While Hagrid walked off, Neville Longbottom came running up to Harry someone had ransacked their room, looking for something and had taken the Diary of Tom Riddle. They surmised that it could only be a Gryffindor or a teacher. Harry felt a little sad, he was getting to know Tom and thought of him as a friend.
The Gryffindor's was going to play a match of Quidditch against the Hufflepuffs when Professor McGonagall stopped them and told them to go to the Gryffindor Common room.
While Professor McGonagall kept Harry behind, he and Ronald had to see something. Professor McGonagall led the boys to the infirmary where they saw a petrified Hermione.
They found her petrified near the Library with a round silver mirror in her hands.
New house rules were placed and had to be followed :
× All students had to be in their common rooms at six o' clock every evening.
× All students were to be escorted to each lesson by a teacher.
× And there would be no exemptions!!
Professor McGonagall warned them that if the culprit were not caught, the school would likely be closed.
Everybody looked at each other while Ginevera Weasley looked down guilty, while Ronald was talking about going to see Hagrid to ask if he knew anything about the Chamber of Secrets and he would probably drag Harry with him. Ronald was telling Harry that they should use Harry's father's Invisibility Cloak - after all they wouldn't be seen and couldn't get into trouble.
