The next day, the quintet were in Transfiguration with McGonagall.

McGonagall: Could I have your attention, please?

The class has their attention drawn to McGonagall.

McGonagall: Right. Now today, we will be transforming animals into water goblets. Like so.

She takes out her wand and points it at a bird resting on a post next to her and tapped it three times.

McGonagall: Vera Verto.

The bird perfectly transformed into a water goblet.

McGonagall: Now, it's your turn. Who would like to go first? (looks at Ron) Ah! Mr. Weasley. One, two, three. Vera Verto.

Ron clears his throat and taps Scabbers with his broken wand three times.

???: Please, don't do this.

Ziad and Max heard the voice and were confused. That sounded like a middle-aged man, and the oldest person in the room was McGonagall, and last they checked, she isn't a middle-aged man. No way that voice came from the rat, right?

Ron: Vera Verto.

Scabbers turned into a goblet. Only the goblet was furry and had a tail that was still moving.

McGonagall: That wand needs replacing, Mr. Weasley.

Hermione raised her hand.

McGonagall: Yes, Ms. Granger?

Hermione: Professor, I was wondering if you tell us about the Chamber of Secrets.

It was obvious that what the quintet saw yesterday was still in Hermione's head. Not that anyone can blame her, that was creepy as hell.

That garnered curious looks from all the other students.

McGonagall: Very well. Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by the four greatest witches and wizards of their age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Now, three of the founders coexisted harmoniously. One did not.

Ron: Three guesses who.

Yes, it was pretty obvious which one McGonagall was referring to.

McGonagall: 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.

Ziad turned to see Draco glaring at Hermione and Max. He glared at the blonde as if to say "try it, I dare you." Draco stopped and turned back to McGonagall.

McGonagall: Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now, according to legend, Slytherin has built a hidden chamber in the castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Well, shortly after departing, he sealed it, until that time when his true heir returned to the school. The Heir alone would be able to open the Chamber and unleash the horror within, and by dong so, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic.

Hermione: Muggleborns.

McGonagall nods in affirmation.

Ziad could see the concerned looks on Hermione and Max's faces. He took Hermione's hand in his and intertwined his fingers with hers and she did the same. He looked at Max, who looked back at him.
