It's a fine Monday night. I dare say it's a perfect night for venturing into an ancient chamber which houses one of the most deadliest creatures on planet...
But I don't really need to worry. I'm just here to have a look. It's not like the Basilisk would suddenly co out if I opened the Entrance since there's another door restricting it after this one.
I entered the bathroom disillusioned, since there's Moaning Myrtle here many of the tis. I had co here once before, to set up a notification ward in case soone does open the chamber, though that went useless due to minor detail that I forgot about the Notification ward.
Standing in front of the tap with the snake marking on it, I prepared to say the words I'd morized from just earlier, even though I felt idiotic saying them.
"Aaah-yaah-ssss-seyythaa." (Open)
Nothing happened.
"...."
I looked around to confirm that no one was here to witnessed this embarrassing mont. Damn it! I've had it with Parseltongue. I knew this wasn't gonna work! I only tried, because Ronald f*cking Weasley had sohow opened it in the last part when they needed the Basilisk venon for destroying the Horcrux.
There's a reason I'm here tonight, without much preparations.
I recalled my conversation with Harry just a few hours ago.
*Flashback*
"Hey Chris! Wait for a mont. Err, there's sothing I need to talk to you about." I was going to the common room with my friends when Harry had called out to .
Since I know him well, I could tell that this could be serious. "What is it?" I asked as I separated form my friends and we just started walking in a random direction.
Harry hesitated was a mont but said, "I... sort of... of heard a voice last night, when we were walking back to the dorms after dinner."
"...."
Oh no! I totally forgot about that! Shit, shit, shit.
"What kind of voice? What did it say?" I asked, despite already knowing the answer. Damn, only now I rembered. The notification ward might not work with too much distance. ...and I was in France yesterday.
What I had feared has co true.
Soone really has the diary. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened again.
I had really hoping that I'd just find the who had the diary when the culprit trips the wards, but he tripped them when I was in France. My fault, is that I forgot that the ward might not work with such a long distance and with being outside Hogwarts wards.
Harry answered my question, "It was a very...cold voice. Very malicious...and very mad. It said it wanted to kill... but it couldn't..."
I nodded at face value, since I already knew what he was going to say, but then I didn't a double take.
'Did I hear it wrong?'
"Co again, what did it say?!" I asked urgently.
Harry nodded, thinking that I was shocked at about the voice, "It was muttering sothing along the lines of it wanted to kill, but it couldn't. It sounded quite frustrated and... hysterical. I tried to see where it was coming from but I couldn't find it! Um... I know all this might sound weird and absurd to you, but you know I wouldn't joke about things like this!" Harry kept rambling but mind was already sowhere else.
Well, I'll be damned. It said sothing different this ti. "It couldn't kill" holy shit, that actually makes sense!
I an, what are the odds... that for a whole year, the Basilisk would only attack the victims with the intent to kill, and each and every single one of them gets only petrified due miraculously looking at it through reflection!
But wait for it! The gap in logic doesn't end here.
-> Why does the Basilisk then leaves in peace and not think like, 'Oh, I missed it again? Well since he's already Petrified and can't run, let's just finish the job and kill him the normal way! Or, let's just look into those open eyes once again, this ti directly without any reflection.' I an, Wtf?! It's not a ga like, Oh you missed the shot! Now you can't attack ! Naa - nana - naanaa!
.
.
So, the plot holes of the Chamber of Secrets are slowly getting filled. And things are starting to make sense. The snake actually might not be allowed to kill at all. Maybe he was only allowed to petrify and only kill when soone who's not the Heir actually discovers the entrance of the Chamber, or enters it. Myrtle was crying in the toilet cubicle when Tom opened the Chamber, and when she opened the cubicle door, she saw the entrance and thus the Basilisk killed her.
So, I asked Harry, "And no one else heard it except you?"
Harry nodded. "Neville and Hermione were there too. They couldn't hear it."
I pretended to think about it for a bit. "Mate, it might be a snake." I said finally, and Harry paused his steps.
"....Damn! This might be it!" said Harry, punching my shoulder. "Why didn't I think about it?!" He said as ran his hand through his hair.
"Nev and Hermi might have only heard so hissing sounds, but it must have been too low to notice." I chipped in.
"Yeah, that must be it." Harry nodded and then hung his hand around my neck like bros. "I knew you'd sohow figure it out, man. You always have. Even Hermione couldn't deny it when I said that you might have an answer." said Harry gratefully.
I nodded, taking it as a matter of fact. "Anyway, tell , how do you say - 'Open' in Parseltongue?"
Harry concentrated hard and I transfigured a rubber snake to help.
$Aaah-yaah-ssss-seyythaa$, he said in weird hissing tone. The frequency of his voice went up and down a lot, and so noises were just inhuman. AND, there were magic fluctuations in his voice though they were too low for to properly feel.
Still, I tried to imitate it after rembering it with occluncy.
"Aaah-yaah-ssss-seyythaa."
Harry frowned.
"Is that how I usually sound? Like this hissing?"
"Yep. Sothing similar." I confird.
Harry repeated what I just said.
"$ Aaah-yaah-ssss-seyythaa.$" and once again, his voice sounded more real as we both heard it.
Then he said, "Well, I can understand that you're trying to say "Open" if I repeat what you said with my own voice, but... yours doesn't sound right, at all. I an, usually, I hear snakes voices in English. Yours is just... creepy hissing, not the fluent English that I'm accustod to. This is the first ti I'm having to say it myself to understand it."
"...."
Well, I still have hope, since Ron Weasley was able to open it. So, I learned the rest of the words as well.
*Flashback end.
So, it didn't work. And that makes perfect sense. Why would Slytherin allow all random hissing sound to open the chamber?
It doesn't make sense for the entering criteria to be just making hissing sounds. It might be sothing like it'll only open for soone when that person has already entered once. Ron might have been registered on his first visit to the chamber when he ca with Harry. So the entrance opened when he tried opening it again.
So...what do I do now? The easiest solution seems like I should just bring Harry. But that's not quite rational.
Because if Dumbledore reads his mind, he'd know that I entered the Chamber of secrets and killed a f*cking Basilisk and that's not sothing you want Dumbledore knowing. And besides, the main goal is to get the diary Horcrux and stop a 16 y/o Voldemort to be resurrected. The Basilisk venon is not the priority since I've learned Fiendfire this sumr. But I'd still like to get them sohow, since they're super rare.
Anyways, I'm a bit reassured now, since the chances of soone dying have lowered now. Now I need a plan to kill the Basilisk without making Harry risk his life, and get that body which is Basilisk priceless.
And I also need to make a notification charm that's not limited by distance. I think I can manage it. There are a lot of types of it in the Martin library.
Let's just hope nothing unexpected happens now. I'll have to find an approach in which I'll have to sacrifice the least and gain the most.

Just like that, days started passing by quickly as I got busy with all the things on my hands. I had to train daily, concentrate on a dozen other projects that were incomplete.
During this ti, I also pondered on the Red Fiendfire that I'd made during my anger. It was quite different from a normal fiend fire. Plus, there's sothing I only realized later after I reviewed the mory in a pensive at my ho.
And yeah, we have a f*cking pensieve in our manor. This young master lacks nothing. That's what I wanted to ask for from Durant. A pensieve is actually quite rare. The one Dumbledore has is a Hogwarts pensive. He can't use it for private matters. (Not openly)
When I watched myself caste the Fiendfire again this ti, could clearly see that my mouth was moving quite differently from how it usually should. It's like, I'm saying sothing else, but I'm hearing the word "Fiendfire" in my head.
After comparing with Harry's situation, I can officially say that I'm a freakin' Draconmouth.
I really had my doubts when I saw the power and control off that fire. I'm telling you, I can't normally produce that much fire power with my capacity and my Fiendfire was still not so controllable the last ti I practiced it this sumr. Especially when when I have my occluncy shields down.
So, let's get this straight. From what I know, Dracontongue enhances the power output of my Fire related spells at least. And increase my control/dominance over fire related magic.
What makes it truly op is that: The most OP spell in my arsenal is fire related! Fiendfire!
And as for the red colour, that must be due to Super Trigger Ros. I had never entered Super Trigger Ros after that incident when I got angered after knowing about Dora's past mory, and from what I had observed form that incident, it makes my magic quite different and powerful. After I'd activated in front of Dora, even though I had quickly deactivated it, when I'd spoken to Dora after that in panic over hear having witnessed it, the residual magic had seeped into my voice and did what I had wanted at that ti, it had gained persuasive properties and made my words very believable.
When I had used it against Peeves, it had made full use of my anger and got converted into magic that could obliterate the Poltergeist's existence forever from this world. Now I finally know sothing about the functioning of my Super Trigger Ros.
So, this was so of my progress I've made in my research over the last month. I haven't tried using Dracontongue on other spells, and I'm pretty excited to try it, though I've been busy making the notification spell with no range problems, and I've finally succeeded in that at least. But I still managed to go ho these days since I had good temporary solution to my problem.
I linked the notification spell with Nyxie and leave her to play around with any of her new friends. And I go ho to research the spell and spend ti with Es. If soone opens the Chamber, Nyxie would inform through the bond, which fortunately doesn't have distance limits.
Upto now, there's not been any further attempts by the Diary holder to enter the Chamber, but, it's Halloween tomorrow.
And everyone knows that Halloween in Harry Potter world is just cursed.
