Forbidden Lover

Chapter Twelve

Artemis’s P.O.V
It was the next day and we were in Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall and we were all doing some work before Professor McGonagall had gotten our attention, “could I have your attention please. Right. Now, today we will be transforming animals into water goblets. Like so. One, Two, Three. Vera Verto.” she said and transformed a bird into a goblet, “now it’s your turn. Who would like to go first? Mr. Weasley. ‘One, Two, Three, Vera Verto’” she said to Ron as she walked up to him, “Vera Verto.” he repeated but it didn’t exactly go as well as the goblet was now furry with a tail on it and everyone in the room chuckled, “that wand needs replacing, Mr. Weasley.” Professor McGonagall said to him and before she could walk away, Hermione had raised her hand, “yes, Miss. Granger?” Professor McGonagall asked, “Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets.” Hermione said to her and the room stayed quiet before Professor McGonagall answered her, “very well. You all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a Thousand years ago by the Four greatest Witches and Wizards of the age, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Now, Three of the founders coexisted quite harmoniously. One did not. Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. In other words, Pure-Bloods. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now, according to legend Slytherin had built a hidden Chamber in this Castle known as the Chamber of Secrets. Though, shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The heir alone would be able to open the Chamber and unleash the horror within, and by so doing purge the school of all those who in Slytherin’s view, were unworthy to study Magic.” Professor McGonagall said to us, “Muggle-Borns.” Hermione mentioned, “well, naturally, the school has been searched many times. No such Chamber has been found.” Professor McGonagall continued before Hermione spoke up again, “Professor? What exactly does legend tell us lies within the Chamber?” Hermione asked her, “the Chamber is said to be home to something that only the Heir of Slytherin can control. It is said to be the home of a monster.” Professor McGonagall said and I worried a little knowing that Harry, Ron and Hermione would put it all on Draco especially when Ron turned to look at Draco.

When class was over, everyone had left and I walked with Draco as we both talked, “they’re going to pin it on you. I know they will, the whole Heir of Slytherin thing, so if I were you, I wouldn’t do anything stupid alright. Try not to make them think too much about it either cause they might plan on doing something to get information to see whether it’s you or not.” I told him as we walked the corridors and turned a corner before seeing the trio and eventually walked past them and heard them talking about it, “thanks for the heads up now that I’ve overheard them mention our name. Anyways, Quidditch is coming up soon, are you excited?” he asked me and I smiled a little, “yeah, the first game of the year, so of course I am.” I said to him as we continued to walk and made our way to our next class of the day. When the day of the Quidditch Match arrived, we eventually started the game as we were in the lead and when I tried to get another score, Oliver had managed to block it from getting through the hoop before Angelina caught it before Marcus and another team member managed to get it from her before Marcus threw it to me again before I noticed Harry following me before I managed to lose him before I managed to get another score before we all continued with the game but eventually as I had the Quaffle in my hand, something tipped the end of my broom causing me to lose control and end up falling to the ground causing me to groan in pain before I noticed Draco was there as well doing the same thing, “bloody hell was that for.” I managed to say to him, “I didn’t mean for this to happen. It was that bloody bludger.” he said to me and eventually, both Draco and I managed to get to the Hospital Wing as Madam Pomfrey checked on us before she told us that we would be alright before leaving again as Draco continued to Groan before hearing Madam Ponfrey, “oh, Mr. Malfoy, stop making such a fuss, your sister has a better pain tolerance than you. You can go.” she said rushing back in and towards Harry and I chuckled a little, “although it does feel like someone punched me in the stomach.” I said to the others before they helped Draco get back to the Common Room. By the time we had gotten there, I had gotten changed out of my Quidditch Uniform before heading back down to the Common Room and did some of my Homework for a while before my thoughts began to wander over to Fred after a while and I smiled a little to myself and began to wonder how he was doing before I decided to go for a walk for a while before bumping into someone and saw that it was Fred and I smiled a little, “how’s Harry?” I asked him, “he’ll be fine. He does have to stay overnight in the Hospital Wing though. How are you, I noticed you and your brother took a nastly fall as well?” He said to me and I nodded a little, “I’ll be fine, nothing is broken or anything.” I told him and he smiled a little as he nodded, “well that’s good to hear. I’m glad you're alright.” he said to me before his brother George walked up from behind him, “hey Freddie.” he said before looking at me and nodded, “hi.” he said and I waved, “well, I’ll let you to get back to whatever you’re doing before.” I said to them before walking away as my cheeks heated up a little.
