1. Survivor's Guilt by Just Tink

Survivor's Guilt by Just Tink
From Olive

I hated you, oh how I hated you,
but still I cry.

I cry for all the things
you never got to do.

I cry for all the things
you never got to be.

Oh Myrtle, naive Myrtle!
Tom didn’t care.

Don’t ask why.
Please, don’t ask why.

He didn’t love you, Myrtle.
He just didn’t. Okay?

None of us did.
Pimply, fat, Moaning Myrtle.

You stupid girl.
And then you died.

Yesterday I said
your glasses were ugly.

You hid in the bathroom.
You were such a coward.

But Myrtle, oh, Myrtle,
you didn’t have to die.

From Rubeus Hagrid

I swear I didn’t kill you!
I swear it, Myrtle!
Myrtle, I promise!
I’d never kill you.
My wand….
they snapped my wand.
But I didn’t do it!

Myrtle, they say I killed you!
Myrtle, you know me.
I didn’t, I really didn’t…
I don’t know who did it,
Myrtle, I just don’t know.

I’ll keep my wand though, Myrtle.
I’ll keep it in your old umbrella.
And maybe someday…
somehow…
I’ll find who did it.
And you’ll get revenge, Myrtle,
I’ll get revenge.
The Chamber has claimed two lives, Myrtle.
Yours…
and mine.

From Tom

Good riddance!
Good riddance!
Filthy Mudblood.
How dare they cry?
How dare they?

Cowards!
They all hated her!
All of them!
But only I,
I, Lord Voldemort!
Dared it,
dared to destroy
what is the ruin
of us all.
May she and all her kin
never walk the floor
of this great Hogwarts
ever!

This is just the beginning.
The Chamber is open!
Enemies of the heir…
beware.
