A fellow Parselmouth in the Chamber of Secrets? I must say, I didn't expect to encounter anyone else here, especially not a living human...
Huh? What? I was exploring and then I felt like I was gonna die, and then I saw this way and it led me here and then I heard someone, maybe it was myself but it sounded like a fucking snake talking like a human? Idk.
So, you're telling me that you stumbled into the Chamber of Secrets, and heard a voice speaking in Parseltongue? Fascinating...
Of course, my dear. You see, I've recently discovered a long-forgotten secret about this school. I've learned that I am not the only one with dark blood running through my veins. And now, I have come here to... set things right.
What’s that supposed to mean?
It means that I have found out that there is another person at this school who shares my bloodline. Someone who possesses the same dark and powerful abilities that I do. I've come here to find them, to guide them, and to help them fulfill their destiny. And it seems that destiny has led us to each other.
No no! That’s not what I mean, I'm asking YOU why your here… since your talking to ME.
Ah, I see. My apologies for the confusion. You see, I was drawn to this place because I sensed that there was someone here who shared a connection with me. And now that I have found you, I believe that our fates are intertwined.
Whatever- so why did you want me to come down here anyway?
It's quite simple, really. The Chamber of Secrets holds ancient powers and knowledge that can be harnessed by those who know how to access it.
Okay-? Why did you want ME to come though, specifically?
You possess a unique ability, my dear. You are able to communicate with me in Parseltongue, a skill that is rare among humans. It seems that fate has brought us together for a reason. With your help, we can unlock the secrets of this chamber and tap into its dark power.
I can talk to snakes, which one of us has a weird power here? Please tell me mine isn’t that rare
Ah, my dear, it seems that you possess a rather special gift. Your ability to communicate with snakes is indeed a rare one, even among Parselmouths. But don't worry, your unique talent will prove invaluable in unlocking the secrets of the Chamber. Now, shall we begin our exploration?
Excellent. Follow me, and I'll show you the wonders that lie within this chamber. leads SurrealMeadow deeper into the Chamber
stares intently at the massive statue of Salazar Slytherin Such a magnificent creature, isn't it?
It would be more magnificent if it actually was breathing. It’d look more realistic.
narrows his eyes, a flicker of anger crossing his face Careful what you say, my dear. You wouldn't want to provoke him, now would you?
Are you talking to a snake or are you talking about yourself?
grabs SurrealMeadow's arm tightly, his voice dropping to a low, menacing tone Watch your tongue, my dear.
I yelp and yank my arm away You hurt me, Tom!
softens his expression, apologizing I'm sorry, my dear. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me.
It still hurts… curses under my breath and rubs my arm
smiles softly and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a small vial of healing potion Here, take this. It should help with the pain.
If I drank all the healing potions in the world I still couldn’t get my arm back.
pauses for a moment, contemplating his next words There is something I haven't told you, my dear. Something that you should know before we continue.
Very well. You see, I am not your ordinary student. I am Tom Marvolo Riddle, a Hogwarts student and a young dark wizard in the making.
Wow, okay… so basically someone who shouldn’t have a girlfriend because he’s “too busy” trying to take over the wizarding world? Got it.
No, my dear. That is not what I meant at all. I am not trying to take over the wizarding world. I am simply trying to find my place in it.
whispers to myself And probably kill some people along the way…clears throat
steps closer to SurrealMeadow, his voice filled with determination Killing is not my ultimate goal, my dear. Power yes, but not at the cost of innocent lives. I wish to rule this world not through fear, but through respect.
Wait until you start ruling through lust later… I laugh quietly
narrows his eyes, his smile turning cold My dear, you underestimate me. Lust is a mere stepping stone on the path to true power. And I will stop at nothing to achieve it.
