A/N: Since I haven't updated in a while, I decided to update again this week xD I'm feeling nice.

Not a lot of people have read the last chapter yet, but I decided I might as well do this. Please review guys! It only takes 2mins and it makes me feel better about my writing and/or helps me improve!.

Enjoy! xD

I don't know how I managed to full asleep that night, but I somehow did. I didn't hear the voice again, but I knew that wasn't the last time. I woke up early in the morning not being able to stop thinking about it. What if other people could hear it? What if Tom got caught? I almost laughed at myself, Tom is a perfect student who is able to convince the whole school he's who he's not, he'll be fine. But what if it had killed someone? They would've had to be alone, what if it killed a whole group of people? I pushed these thoughts away, everything will be fine, but I knew it wasn't true. I turned to look at my clock and saw that it was 6:10. Great. I went into the bathroom and had a shower and then got dressed, when I was finished it was 6:45, so I decided to put my hair up in a messy bun.

I then went into the common room and laid down on a sofa, I closed my eyes because I was still a little tired, and then I thought of my dad, about his smile, his eyes that lit up when he saw my mum, the hugs that I got whenever he came home. I missed him so much! I thought of what Tom had said Don't let anyone see you're in pain or they will use it against you. It might be hard, but you need to forget, remembering will only hold you back. I took a deep breath and tried to push all my emotions away. It wasn't working but then I was shaken awake by a stressed looking Maria which took my mind off of everything.

"Maria, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost" I said concerned. I sat up on the sofa and she sat next to me.

She didn't talk for a little while, after a minute she turned to face me and said "It's myrtle. She's dead. The teachers are panicking, they don't know how it happened." I do, I thought to myself

"Where did it happen?" I asked.

"The girls second floor laboratory" Maria said. As soon as she said that I got up and starting running there, I had to see what happened. "Thea! Where are you going? Wait up!" Maria shouted behind me and she followed.

When we reached the toilets it was chaos, everyone was crowding around it and the teachers were inside trying to not panic the students. "Everyone go!" Dippet shouted and most of the crowd left, now mostly older students were left, I could now see into the bathroom properly, the floor was flooded slightly, and the teachers were standing around something, myrtle's pale and limp body. And then I looked up and saw Dumbledore trying to calm down a stressed student, I couldn't see who she was clearly, she had dark hair and dark eyes... Then I realised who I was looking at. It was myrtle's ghost.

Dumbledore turned around and shouted "Everyone go back to your common rooms immediately, until tell you that you can leave." He resumed talking to Myrtle and the crowd, including me and Maria, walked away.

"I can't believe this, do you have any idea on what could've caused her death? They're saying it's murder, but how would she have been murdered?" Maria asked.

"I don't know, I'm sure the teachers will sort it out." I said trying to reassure her, I don't think it worked, but what am I supposed to say in a situation like this?" We finally reached the common room and opened the door to hear laughter and what sounded like a small party.

"You know what this means, don't you. A mudblood died and nobody understand why." A sixth year was explaining "It's got to be the chamber! One mudblood dead, next the rest of them will be joining that filth!"

"You don't really believe that do you? I mean it's just a story?" A little second year asked.

"It's a story that scared the teachers so much that they searched the school for it" The other one said.

"Yes, they search the entire school grounds, inside the school, outside, even under the school. Everywhere. And they didn't find a single thing." I interrupted. I didn't want people saying it was the chamber, people heard me talk to my snake, I could get done for it.

"Why are you trying to cover it up? Are you hiding something, Riley?" The sixth year said. How do they know my name?

"I'm trying to stop a panic being spread around, I've got too much on my mind to be thinking about this." I said almost getting annoyed at how stupid some people are.

"Of course, it wouldn't be you. What was I thinking?" He said laughing at me.

"I'm more than capable of doing something like this, don't you dare laugh at me!" I shouted, I was getting angrier and angrier by the second. I wouldn't do something like this, but I could.

"Prove it" He said calmly.

"I don't have to prove anything to you" I said trying to calm myself down. He's just looking for a reaction.

"Then I don't believe you" As he said that, I had walked up to him and pushed him square on the nose. "Ow! You little…" He began to say holding his nose.

"Continue that sentence, I dare you" I said coldly, raising my fist again.

"Come on, let just go" His friend said pulling his arm.

"Yeah, do what your girlfriend says" I said bitterly. Where had all of this came from?

We were allowed to go and have breakfast but it was straight back to the common rooms after, so I decided to sit in my dorm and read about things from the lessons I'm missing, I then went down to the great hall for dinner feeling like a zombie, just going through motions and then I went to bed, I had had a weird feeling all day, I was probably tired and I wasn't thinking straight, bed was the best thing for me.

I had a strange dream, I was walking through pipes. No, not walking… crawling? No that didn't seem right. Slithering, like a snake. Only I wasn't me, I could tell. I came out of the pipe and into the corridor where I could smell a weird smell. There was a boy there, I recognised him but I couldn't put my finger on who he was. Then the boy turned around and looked directly into my eyes. And he dropped to the floor, dead. I then looked at a window and saw a reflection of what I was. I was some kind of giant snake. I was a Basilisk and I had just killed someone.

A/N: I hope this was good, it took a lot of time today because I had writers block again, but there you go :) It's going to start getting better now, I'm sure it will if I can get past this block and then write well.

Thanks for reading, and by the way, I have another story going on at the moment, it's a forbidden game story which carries on from the end, please read it if you have the time and are interested.

Please review as well xD

Thank you again,

Peace.
