Chapter Ten

"Oh, it's you." Moaning Myrtle looked over at me. "What do you want now?"

"To ask you how you died." She goggled at me for a second before an expression appeared like she had never been asked such a flattering question.

"Ooooh, it was dreadful." Myrtle grinned. "It happened right in here. I died in this very stall. I remember it very well. I was hiding because Olive Hornby was teasing me about my glasses. The door was locked, and I was crying, when I heard somebody come in. They said something funny. A different language, I think it must have been. Anyway, what really got me that it was a boy speaking. So I unlocked the door, to tell him to go and use his own toilet, and then-" She looked very self-important which was confusing given the topic. "I died."

"How?" I asked.

"No idea. I just remember seeing a pair of great, big, yellow eyes. My whole body just sort of seized up and I was floating away."

"Where exactly do you remember seeing the eyes?"

"Somewhere there." Myrtle pointed vaguely toward the sink in front of her toilet.

George had to jab Lockhart in the back with his and so he would walk as I went to inspect the sink. There was nothing there. Then I spotted the snake scratched into the side.

"Try saying something in Parseltongue." George said helpfully and I sighed before focusing on the snake. As I stared at it, my vision went weird and made it look as if it moved.

Open up, I hissed and George made a weird noise as the sink disappeared into the floor to show a pipe that a man could slide down.

"I'm going down there." I muttered and felt something warm hold my hand. It was George.

"Me too." It was silent as I looked at him.

"Well you hardly seem to need me." Lockhart spoke up. "I'll just-"

"You can go first." George glared at him and Lockhart shakily made his way to entrance.

"Now really, what good will it do?" He said feebly and I scowled before silently pushing him down the pipe. I took a deep breath before following.

If this wasn't life or death I would have really enjoyed myself. It was like riding a dark, slimy, slide that branched off. I could hear George behind me, thudding against the curves. Suddenly the pipe leveled out and I shot out and landed on the damp floor of a dark stone tunnel. Lockhart was slowly standing a little ways away and I stood just as George came out.

"Bloody hell!" He exclaimed as he stood. "That was fun."

"Really?" I raised an eyebrow and he winked. I rolled my eyes before raising my wand. "Lumos. C'mon, lets get going."

The tunnel ahead was so dark I could barely see in front of me, even with my wand lit. The shadows on the wet walls looked monstrous. I almost jumped when the quiet was interrupted by a loud crunch that turned out to be a rat's skull. I lowered my wand to show a bunch of small animal bones littering the ground. Just as we walked around a bend, George spoke up.

"There's something up there." The outline wasn't moving so I approached slowly, praying it was asleep. "That's one big snake skin."

"That's got to be at least twenty feet." I murmured when suddenly there was a noise. Lockhart's knees had given out. Suddenly he dived at George and was able to get his wand.

"The adventure ends here! I shall take some of the skin back up to the school, tell them I was too late to save the girl, and that you two tragically lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body-say goodbye to your memories!"

I had my wand out just as he raised George's.

"Obliviate!"

"Expelliarmus!"

I watched as Georges wand flipped in the air and pointed at Lockhart. The memory spell hit him and he was blasted back into the wall causing the ceiling to rumble and collapse. I ducked and next thing I knew, I was standing alone in front of a wall of stone.

"George?" I called and there was silence before a cough.

"Yeah, I'm here. But I cant get through."

"Well, I'll head on. Try to shift some rocks."

"I'll watch through our link, okay?"

"Yeah, okay."

I continued down the tunnel and came to a solid wall with two serpents. They looked awfully alive so I took a deep breath and hissed.

Open.

….

I plunged the sword into the Basilisk mouth and screamed in pain as one of its fangs sunk into my arm. The Basilisk fell as its fang splintered and I slid to the ground before gripping the fang and yanking it out. White-hot pain was shooting through me signaling that the poison was flowing through me. My vision was blurring and I could hear Riddle laughing. Suddenly a blur of scarlet appeared.

"Hey Fawkes." I murmured.

"Your dead, Emily Potter." Riddle laughed. "Dead. Even Dumbledore song bird knows it. Do you see what it's doing, Potter? He's crying."

Indeed, I could see pearly white tears sliding down his red feathers.

"So ends the famous Emily Potter. Now I just have to get your dear twin and you'll both be gone. Poor Harry, his only family gone. Though Ginny did tell me you weren't on good terms. Maybe I can get him to join me."

The pain was slowly leaving me. Was this dying? The Chamber was coming back into focus. I shook my head clear and saw Fawkes with his head resting near my wound, tears surrounding the area, except there was no wound. My eyes widened.

"Get away, bird!" Riddle exclaimed. "Get away from her." I watched as Fawkes flew off. "Phoenix tear…of course…healing powers…I forgot…"

Fawkes suddenly dropped the diary in front of me. I stared at it for a second before grabbing the Basilisk fang and puncturing it straight into the heart of the book with all my strength. There was a long, dreadful scream and Riddle was writhing and twisting, screaming and flailing, and then he was gone. My wand fell to the floor and there was a faint groan from where Ginny was nearby. I rushed over just as she sat up.

"George! Ginny's alive!"

"Thank Merlin!"

"Emily? What-what happened?"

"I'll explain once we get out of here. C'mon."

After what seemed like hours, in which I learned Lockhart now has no memory, Ginny would not be blamed, and freeing Dobby the house elf from his master, who just so happened to be Malfoy Sr., I was sitting next to George during a brilliant feast. He grinned at me as Fred pouted.

"I cant believe you got to go in the Chamber and I didn't." Fred whined and Angelina wacked his head. "OW! What?"

"They weren't doing it for kicks. You could have gotten killed."

"Listen to your girlfriend Freddie." George snickered just as Alicia spoke.

"Emily, it's Hermione." I looked over and stood at the sight of my best friend. She ran and threw her arms around me.

"You solved it! You solved it!" She exclaimed in my ear as I hugged her tightly. Hagrid appeared next, fresh out of Azkaban and looking proud.

The term passed in a haze and I was in such a good mood I actually said a bright good morning to Harry and Ron. I figured that I might as well stay civil if I have to spend another summer with Harry at the Dursleys. And by civil, I meant not antagonize him. Who knows, maybe this summer will be better.

The End

...

Yay I was able to mention Harry in here. I skipped oer the whole Tom Riddle scene, sorry, but I just wanted to finish this year up. Okay, Read and Review please!
