Harry(?) Pov

I woke up and thought about the situation I found myself in,' Neither am I Harry nor am I Jake who the hell even am I now.' while numbly consoling Ginny just like I(?) read in the books. I was so tired and numb that upon meeting Ron, I couldn't even speak and just nodded mechanically to his questions.

"How come you've got a sword?" said Ron, gaping at the glittering weapon in Harry's hand.

"I'll explain when we get out of here," said Harry with a sideways glance at Ginny, who was crying harder than ever.

"But—"

"Later," Harry said shortly. He didn't think it was a good idea to tell Ron yet who'd been opening the Chamber, not in front of Ginny, anyway. "Where's Lockhart?"

"Back there," said Ron, still looking puzzled but jerking his head up the tunnel toward the pipe. "He's in a bad way. Come and see."

Led by Fawkes, whose wide scarlet wings emitted a soft golden glow in the darkness, they walked all the way back to the mouth of the pipe. Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting there, humming placidly to himself.

"His memory's gone," said Ron. "The Memory Charm backfired. Hit him instead of us. Hasn't got a clue who he is, where he is, or who we are. I told him to come and wait here. He's a danger to himself."

You're alive," she said blankly to me.

"There's no need to sound so disappointed," I said grimly, wiping flecks of blood and slime off his glasses.

"Oh, well . . . I'd just been thinking . . . if you had died, you'd have been welcome to share my toilet," said Myrtle, blushing silver.

"Urgh!" said Ron as they left the bathroom for the dark, deserted corridor outside. "Harry! I think Myrtle's grown fond of you! You've got competition, Ginny!"

But tears were still flooding silently down Ginny's face.

"Where now?" said Ron, with an anxious look at Ginny. I pointed thinking 'Yeah let's get it over with'.

Fawkes was leading the way, glowing gold along the corridor. They strode after him, and moments later, found themselves outside Professor McGonagall's office.

I too exhausted to even knock just pushed the door open.

Flashback(In Harry's Mind)

"You probably know that this is something we can't tell anybody, right?", asked Jake.

"Yeah, I guess but seeing my future in someone else memories is awkward. ", told Harry.

"Understandable, but Dumbledore's a legilimens and probably could read your emotions and thoughts very easily if you panic. But oh well, I have good news and bad news for you.", says Jake.

"Oh C'mon, What now?", asks a completely annoyed Harry.

Jake then launched into a story about how the soul fragment called Hocrux is one of the vilest magic in the world and Voldemort has made 7 of them which is the reason behind his apparent immortality. He also said that the Hocrux in Harry's scar is destroyed because of the sudden assault of consciousness of Jake as well as the combination of basilisk venom and phoenix tear but the crazy thing was that rather than it getting destroyed it dissolved!

"What does this mean to me?", asks Harry.

"I don't know much but I have some guesses for example I saw that while your vision is still poor It isn't as bad as before. Oh, and you haven't lost parseltongue", Jake replies"Also after this we can't meet each other like this because we will technically be one so all my emotions and thoughts will be in you and I have already thought what you will have to say in the explanation of this incident to the Headmaster...".
