The Other Weasley Sister

Chapter 33: saving ginny

Even though that entire thing was exhilarating, Arden couldn't wait to get back to the common room. Skipping through the corridors, she came across a horrific sight.

Cakey red blood covered the walls and formed the sentence

Her skeleton will lay in the chamber forever

All of a sudden rushed footsteps could be heard coming from another corridor. She panicked and hid behind a small nook Although she was surprised to see Harry and Ron there aswell.

"As you can see the heir of slytherin has left another message. Our worst fear has been realised! A student has been taken by the monster into the chamber itself!" Professor mcgonnagal stressed to the other teachers who had joined her.

"The students must be sent home. I'm afraid this is the end of Hogwarts" she announced sorrowfully. At that exact moment gilder oh Lockhart decided to make his appearance.

"So sorry! Dosed off! What have I missed?"

"A girl has been snatched by the monster Lockhart. Your moment has come at last" snape said in his usual bored tone.

"My mo-moment"

"Weren't you just saying last night that you've known all along where the entrance to the chamber of secrets is?"  Lock hart looked scared now. As though his lies had finally caught up with him. Karma.

"We'll that's settled we'll leave you to deal with the monster gilderoy, your skills after all are legend" mcgonnagal said knowingly.

"Very well. Uhh. I'll just be in my office getting ready" he muttered. He then quickly walked off, looking behind him oftenly.

"Who is it that the monsters taken Minerva?" Madame phomprey asked worriedly.

"Ginny weasley" she muttered. Mine, Harry's and rons eyes widened as she mentioned my younger sisters name. All the teachers cast one grave look at the wall and followed Mcgonnagal away.

"Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever" Ron repeated with tears in his eyes.

"Ginny..." I muttered.

The three of us ran into Lockhart classroom shouting his name. Running up the steps and opening the heavy wood door we came face to face with a panicked looking Lockhart packing his suitcases.

"You coward!" I yelled looking at him in disgust.

"Are you going somewhere?" Harry asked him sassily whilst the three of us gave him dirty looks.

"I - uh uh uh well yes I'm urgent call! Unavoidable gotta go" he muttered nervously, stuttering over his words.

"What about our sister?!" Ron shouted at him

"W-well I'm as to that most unfortunate no one regrets that more than I do" he stuttered checking his bags.

"You're the defence against the dark arts teacher! You can't go now!" I reminded him.

"We'll I must say when I took the job there was nothing in the job description about uh_"

"You're running away?after all that stuff you did in your books! " Harry asked whilst blocking his exit.

"Books can be misleading!"

"You wrote them!" Harry complained back

" my dear boy use your common sense my books wouldn't have sold half as well if people didn't think I'd done all those things!"

"You're a fraud" Harry stated whilst looking at him with hatred.
"Duh" I said whilst rolling my eyes.

"You've just been taking credit for what other wizards have done!" I exclaimed angrily at him.

"Is there anything you can do?" Ron asked him.

"Yes! Now you mention it I'm rather gifted with memory charms, otherwise you see all those wizards would have gone blabbing. I'd never have sold another book. In fact uh I'm uh going to have to do the same to you" he says whilst reaching for his wand. Only to have the three of us point our Wands at him.

"Don't even think about it" Harry says and motions for him to drop his wand, which he does.
