Elizabeth caught Harry leaving the study room. She looked worried. She was holding a book tightly. Whatever she knew, she bet they've already know, they've got Hermione, she's a very smart girl. Harry looked as if he heard something again, Elizabeth seeing that look on her face, proceeded to walk towards him.

"Hi Harry." she glumly said.

Though Harry wasn't paying attention, he'd been paying attention to the voice, he started following it around and Elizabeth followed along with him, he walked towards the wall, feeling around, still following it

"I've heard it again, the voice." explained Harry

Elizabeth's face looked even more worried, "Harry, what I'm about to say is just a hypothesis. Alright?" she cleared her throat and continued on, "The Chamber of Secrets. The monster. I've been reading. So, here it goes, what if the monster is a serpent. You know since Salazar Slytherin had created it and it's even on the uniform. So--"

Elizabeth stopped talking once she had seen what Harry had seen. Sir Headless Nick was just floating. But next to him, a boy had be Petrified. Filch comes out from a corner.

"Caught in the act." he says, "I'll have you two out this time! Mark my words."

"No Mr. Filch! You don't understand!" Harry shouted

"Look the spiders." whispered Elizabeth, pointing at them getting out in a line by another window again.

They both went by the window to see where the spiders were going. Just then Filch, McGonagall, and Snape had came in. McGonagall gasped in horror as to what she had seen. Elizabeth, holding onto the book even tighter, getting more worried.

"Professors, we swear we didn't!" stammered Harry

"This is out of our hands, Potter." said Professor McGonagall

McGonagall, Harry, Elizabeth, and Snape all walked over to Dumbledore's office.

"Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for you two." Snape advised

As they both got onto the bird statue's space, Professor McGonagall said, "Sherbet Lemon."

Then came out staircases for them to climb, and so they did. They both exchanged worried looks as they walked up the stairs. They went inside the office. Elizabeth had gulped.

"Professor Dumbledore?" shouted Harry

They walked up some steps slowly and saw the sorting hat, Elizabeth frowned once seeing it.

"Bee in you bonnet?" asked the Sorting Hat

"I was just wondering if you put us in the right house." stammered again Harry

"Yes, you two were particularly hard to place, but I stand by what I said when sorting you two. You would've done well in Slytherin, and you Elizabeth are a Slytherin." explained the hat

"You're wrong" said Harry

Just then they heard growling and see a Phoenix then it bursts into flames, leaving ashes. Both Elizabeth and Harry look worried as to what they had just seen. Dumbledore's phoenix had just died right in front of them.

"Harry? Elizabeth?" asks Dumbledore as he sees them

"Professor, sir. Your bird-- There was nothing I could do. He just caught fire!" Harry exclaimed

"Oh and about time too. He's been looking dreadful for days. Pity you had to see him on a burning day. Fawkes is a phoenix. They burst into flame when it's time for them to die, and then they are reborn from the ashes." explained Dumbledore

Just then, a baby phoenix comes out from the ashes that were left over, shocking both Harry and Elizabeth as she smiles. She likes phoenixes, they can always reborn.

"Fascinating creatures, phoenixes." beamed Dumbledore, "They can carry immensely heavy loads, and their tears have healing powers."

The door opened, came in was Hagrid, "Professor Dumbledore, sir. Wait, listen. Professor Dumbledore, sir. It wasn't them two." defended Hagrid

"Ah, Hagrid-" Dumbledore said trying to calm him

"I'd swear it in front of the Ministry of Magic." continued Hagrid

"Hagrid!" shouted Dumbledore, "Relax. I do not believe that these two attacked annyone."

"Of course you don't. And--" Hagrid paused for a split second, "Oh. Ohh right. Well I'll-- I'll just wait outside then." then out walked Hagrid

"You believe us?" asked Elizabeth

"You don't think it was us, Professor?" Harry added on

"No you two, I don't think it was you." answered Dumbledore, "But I must ask you, is there something you wish to tell me?" asked Dumbledore.

Harry turned over to Elizabeth, who had given him a look telling him to tell Dumbledore what's been going on then Harry turned back to Dumbledore.

Harry shook his head, "No, sir. Nothing."

Dumbledore nodded his head, "Very well then, off you two go."
