And
where was Ginny?
He pulled out his wand and moved forward between the serpentine
columns. Every careful footstep echoed loudly off the shadowy walls.
He kept his eyes narrowed, ready to clamp them shut at the smallest
sign of movement. The hollow eye sockets of the stone snakes
seemed to be following him. More than once, with a jolt of the
stomach, he thought he saw one stir.
Then, as he drew level with the last pair of pillars, a statue high as the
Chamber itself loomed into view, standing against the back wall.
Harry had to crane his neck to look up into the giant face above: It
was ancient and monkey-like, with a long, thin beard that fell almost to
the bottom of the wizard"s sweeping stone robes, where two
enormous gray feet stood on the smooth Chamber floor. And between
the feet, facedown, lay a small, black-robed figure with flaming-red
hair.
"Ginny!" Harry muttered, sprinting to her and dropping to his knees.
"Ginny - don"t be dead - please don"t be dead -" He flung his wand
aside, grabbed Ginny"s shoulders, and turned her over. Her face was
white as marble, and as cold, yet her eyes were closed, so she wasn"t
Petrified. But then she must be
"Ginny, please wake up," Harry muttered desperately, shaking her.
Ginny"s head lolled hopelessly from side to side.
"She won"t wake," said a soft voice.
Harry jumped and spun around on his knees.
A tall, black-haired boy was leaning against the nearest pillar,
watching. He was strangely blurred around the edges, as though
Harry were looking at him through a misted window. But there was
no mistaking him
"Tom - Tom Riddle?"
Riddle nodded, not taking his eyes off Harry"s face.
"What d"you mean, she won"t wake?" Harry said desperately. "She"s
not - she"s not -?"
"She"s still alive," said Riddle. "But only just."
Harry stared at him. Tom Riddle had been at Hogwarts fifty years
ago, yet here he stood, a weird, misty light shining about him, not a day
older than sixteen.
"Are you a ghost?" Harry said uncertainly.
"A memory," said Riddle quietly. "Preserved in a diary for fifty years."
He pointed toward the floor near the statue"s giant toes. Lying open
there was the little black diary Harry had found in Moaning Myrtle"s
bathroom. For a second, Harry wondered how it had got there - but
there were more pressing matters to deal with.
"You"ve got to help me, Tom," Harry said, raising Ginny"s head again.
"We"ve got to get her out of here. There"s a basilisk ... I don"t know
where it is, but it could be along any moment ... Please, help me."
Riddle didn"t move. Harry, sweating, managed to hoist Ginny half off
the floor, and bent to pick up his wand again.
But his wand had gone.
"Did you see -?"
He looked up. Riddle was still watching him - twirling Harry"s wand
between his long fingers.
"Thanks," said Harry, stretching out his hand for it.
A smile curled the corners of Riddle"s mouth. He continued to stare at
Harry, twirling the wand idly.
"Listen," said Harry urgently, his knees sagging with Ginny"s dead
weight. "We"ve got to go! If the basilisk comes -"
"It won"t come until it is called," said Riddle calmly.
Harry lowered Ginny back onto the floor, unable to hold her up any
longer.
"What d"you mean?" he said. "Look, give me my wand, I might need it -"
Riddle"s smile broadened.
"You won"t be needing it," he said.
Harry stared at him.
"What d"you mean, I won"t be -?"
"I"ve waited a long time for this, Harry Potter," said Riddle. "For the
chance to see you. To speak to you."
"Look," said Harry, losing patience, "I don"t think you get it. We"re in
the Chamber of Secrets. We can talk later -"
"We"re going to talk now," said Riddle, still smiling broadly, and he
pocketed Harry"s wand.
Harry stared at him. There was something very funny going on here.
"How did Ginny get like this?"
