Is it just me or did we never actually find out what secrets were
contained in the Chamber? I mean I know it was home to the Basilisk
but there must be something more to it than that.
While mulling this over the other day I went back to re-read the
encounters between Harry and Riddle and something caught my eye
which made me shiver a bit:
Ch 17 pg 236 - The Heir of Slytherin
"So ends the famous Harry Potter," said Riddle's distant
voice "Alone in the Chamber of Secrets, forsaken by his friends,
defeated at last by the Dark Lord he so unwisely challenged. You'll
be back with you dear Mudblood mother soon Harry...She bought you
twelve years of borrowed time...but Lord Voldemort got you in the
end, as you knew he must."
Now maybe its just Riddle getting carried away but I don't think
Harry was forsaken by his friends, he didn't unwisely challenge the
Dark Lord (just went to save Ginny) and book 2 Harry doesn't yet
know that Lord Voldemort must get him in the end (or vice versa).
But...it gets a little creepy if you think about our post book 5
Harry hearing that speech. Is this a sign of things to come?
