Narrator's POV

Within weeks it became plainly obvious that Lockhart was a crappy professor to every year he taught.

But a certain red-headed Gryffindor girl told her dear friends, Tom and Harry, everything and one day near Halloween they asked her to do something pretty weird.

"Ginny, did you like jokes? ~Harry." The Diary wrote

"Yes, I play them with Fred and George all the time at home." Ginny wrote back

"Well, Tom and I have a idea that pretty funny that you could do all by yourself without your brothers. ~Harry."

"What is it?"

"Kill one of the school chickens and write 'the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, enemies of the heir beware' on a wall that everyone will see. ~Harry."

"What? Didn't someone die and five people get petrified last time it was opened?"

"The people who got petrified were in on the joke, it was a silly Halloween prank that we played on the teachers using a old school legend. ~Harry. And she died because she took the joke too far, it was an accident on her side. -Tom."

"If you guys say so."

"We know so. -Tom."

"I'll do it, but won't Hagrid notice the chicken missing and what would I do with the corpse afterwards?"

"There are dozens of chickens in the coup, I doubt he'll notice one missing. ~Harry. Just leave it in the kitchen, the house-elves will talk care of it. -Tom."

The next day, the entire school was surprised by a bloody message on the wall.

Boredly looking threw Ginny's things, Ron found a black leather journal near the bottom with the name "Tom Marvolo Riddle" written in gold on the back.

Ron chuckled to himself, "Oooohh, does Ginny have a secret boyfriend. Dean did tell me she seemed to be whoring herself out."

Flipping the diary open to look for anything juicy, he was surprised to find it blank.

Then, scarring Ron half way to death, the diary wrote in itself, "Hi, Ron! Your sister told us so much about you. ~Harry. Greetings, Ronald. -Tom."

Shocked, Ron tentatively opened one of Ginny's inkwells and a quill and wrote, "Hi." he then remembered the message that that been written on the wall, "Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Yes we do." The diary wrote back

"Can you tell me?" Ron wrote

"No," The diary replied, making Ron scoff, "but we can show you."

The diary seemed to suck Ron into it and Ron found himself standing in one of Hogwarts's many staircases, near the top, he saw two boys —or maybe one boy and a girl— standing near the top, beginning to walk towards them, Ron said "Hello, can you tell me where I am?"

The two people ignored him and watched a body get carried out by two of the staff, suddenly the trio heard a voice behind them, "Riddle. Potter."

The older-looking students turned around to see Dumbledore walking towards them.

"Professor Dumbledore." They simultaneously greeted

"It's not wise for you both to be wandering around this late, boys." Dumbledore warned and confirming to Ron that both people he had first seen were male

"Yes, Professor. I suppose we just had to see for ourselves, if the rumors were true." The taller boy explained

"I'm afraid they are, boys." Dumbledore sadly said

"About the school as well? They wouldn't really close Hogwarts, would they, Professor?" The feminine one asked

"Headmaster Dippet may have no choice, I'm afraid." Dumbledore answered

"Sir? If it all stopped, if the person responsible was caught would everything return to normal, sir?" The person Ron assumed was Tom Riddle asked

"Is there something you both wish to tell me?" Dumbledore asked, an eyebrow raised

"No, sir. Nothing." Tom answered

"Very well then. Hurry along." Dumbledore said, walking away and the two boys Ron believed to be Tom and Harry walked in the opposite direction towards the dungeon

"Evening, Hagrid." Tom greeted, opening a door

"We're going to have to turn you in, Hagrid. I don't think you meant it to kill anyone-" Harry attempted to soothe

"No, you can't! You both don't understand!" Hagrid's chalkboard magically wrote

"So Hagrid was always mute." Ron said to himself, realizing that they couldn't see nor hear him

"Hagrid, the dead girl's parents will be here tomorrow. The least Hogwarts can do is make sure the thing that killed their daughter is slaughtered." Harry coolly said

"It wasn't him! Aragog never would kill anyone! Never!" Hagrid defended, his chalkboard writing furiously quick

"Monsters don't make good pets, Hagrid. Now, stand aside." Tom said, pulling out his wand, "Petrificus Totalus!"

"No!" Hagrid 's chalkboard wrote, but Aragog was frozen

As the scene finished before him, Ron was cast out of the diary and back on his sister's bed.

"Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets, he's the heir of Slytherin!" Ron mumbled to himself

Soon enough Ron dumped the diary into his bag and left his sister's dorm to head to the dinner feast.

While walking to the Great Hall, he ran up the steps to get there before being late and missing out on first picks, the diary fell out of his bag.

***

The diary sat there alone for about an hour when suddenly a Ravenclaw girl walked down the steps to head to her own dorm after claiming to be really tired and skipping dessert.

While climbing down, she noticed the diary right away and recognized her parents' souls.

Rushing to her dorm room, she climbed on her bed and pulled out a quill and a inkwell anfd wrote, "Hello."

"Who are you? ~Harry What's your name? -Tom." The diary wrote, not knowing who they were speaking with

"Anaelle Celeste Riddle." Anaelle wrote, knowing exactly to whom this diary belonged

"We had a baby, Tom!" Harry cheered inside the diary

"So it seems, my love." Tom replied

"She can help us." Harry said and so they added a third person to their plan...
