Another day had arrived. I changed myself into my school robes, as usual, and headed to the Great Hall for breakfast. Neville and I had a really long talk about how things were going. Neville was the only one who seemed to understand the situation I was in back then. He didn't push me with nothing and I was grateful for that. We separated our ways to class and the day had begun. The classes went very slow and seemed getting more boring every single day.

When I finished my last class of the day and was walking to my dorm to drop my stuff, someone tapped my shoulder.

"Y/N! Wanna come with us for... you know." Ron asked when I walked through the corridors. I hadn't got any plans, so I went with them. They led me to the girls bathroom where we could begin making the potion. Moaning Myrtle was crying again as she usually did.

"Will she ever stop crying?" Ron mumbled. Hermione and I ignored him and settled ourselves.

Harry wasn't with us, because he was in the Hospital wing. He fell off his broom at the quidditch match against Slytherin yesterday. Although he fell, Gryffindor still had won. Harry had caught the snitch. He had a broken arm at first, but Lockhart mingled into the situation and made it worse. He tried to heal Harry's arm and instead of fixing his bones, he made them disappear. Madam Pomfrey could heal him, but it would hurt.

"Don't you think we should go and see Harry?" Ron asked worried.

"Harry will be fine. He's in good hands. If we go to Harry now, the moment when this potion is done is going to be next year." I said and he nodded.

"And besides, you know what happened to Colin." Hermione added. Ron nodded and sat with us.

"What about Colin? Did I miss something?" I asked because I had no clue what they were talking about.

"Have you been living under a rock?" Ron joked. You could say so... Lisa was the one with all the juicy rumors, so I didn't knew anything that was going on in this school.

I shrugged and Hermione told me about Colin. He had apparently been petrified. The rumor was that the Chamber of Secrets was now officially opened.

"Bloody hell." I said a little shocked of the information I just got.

"Yeah. So that's why we need to hurry with making this potion." Hermione said.

Before Ron and I could ask what to do, Hermione started to work.

"What do we have to do?" I asked.

"Nothing... yet." she answered. I nodded and started drumming on the floor. Ron joined me. Our little concert was interrupted by the clicking of a door. We all froze. What were we going to say when the person saw us making a potion in the girls bathroom which was out of order.

"It's me." Harry said stepping through the door. I sighed of relief.

"Harry! You gave us such a fright! Come in! How's your arm?" Hermione said also very relieved.

"Fine." Harry said.

"We'd've come to meet you, but we decided to get started on the Polyjuice Potion. We've decided this is the safest place to hide it." Ron said. Harry joined us.

"So how was the proces of growing new bones? Are your bones back?" I asked. He nodded.

"It's a weird feeling. I can't explain it. But something happened last night." he said. Harry started telling the story about Colin.

"We already know. We heard Professor McGonagall telling Professor Flitwick this morning. That's why we decided we'd better get going." Hermione said.
