Harry Potter and the Secret Inheritance

Chapter 12

After a few hours of talking about what to do with her friends, the five of them decided that she would start going back to lessons tomorrow since it was Sunday today. Adriane resolved that she would most likely sleep in the chamber of secrets after they were able to get it cleaned up. Adriane made a mental note to write to Grinlast and ask him when the bank would be able to render down the Basilisk and put it in storage.

Most people would probably sell the monstrous snake, but she didn't need the gold, and she also didn't want the parts to go to those who would use them for harm or evildoing. She could ask if Grinlast desired some of the meat since she had heard it was a rare luxury for goblins, but other than this, she didn't know what else to do with it besides using it to experiment.

But the reason she would be sleeping in the chamber was that she was one of the only two people Adriane knew of that could get down there and she did not doubt that Dumbledore knew of the ROR, After all, how could he not know about it? She was sure the elves must have told him about a room that can become anything you want and need it to be. She would still use it sometimes, it was way too useful not to use it, but she would make sure to be careful when using it since she didn't want Dumbledore to figure out Adriane had broken free before she was ready for him to know after all.

Adriane spent a few hours with her friends just catching up with them before they had to go, or else they would be caught out after curfew and get in trouble, something they didn't need at the moment. After they left she put her invisibility cloak on and put a silencing charm on her shoes and cloak itself to hide her breathing, next, she put a notice-me-not charm on her and the cloak along with a scent blocking spell, she wasn't taking any chances of getting caught tonight.

After doing all of that she slowly snuck down to moaning Mortal's Bathroom, and after checking to make sure Mortal wasn't there she cast several detections spells around the room, finding a few spells that would alert Dumbledore if anyone opened the entrance to the chamber which caused her to grit her teeth and gradually she moved the spells to one of the closed bathroom stalls before hitting the stall with her strongest notice-me-not charm she could cast. Then she hissed at the sink to open it, smirking when it worked, but before she jumped down, she had a thought and took a step back.

'Salzer Slytherin wouldn't have slid down a dirty slide to get to the bottom of the shoot, Salzer must have used stairs or something!'

After thinking for a bit, she hissed again. ~Stairs~ She smirked when it worked, hissing once more ~Lights~ after she walked down the stairs a little she hissed one finale time. ~Close~ Adriane smirked as she walked down, the sink closing after her.

~~Time skip!~~

Adriane finally made it down to the second entrance of the chamber an hour later since she had stopped to clean up the tunnel and make sure the ceiling was stable, making sure it wouldn't collapse on her again no matter what. She cast a bubblehead charm over her head before she walked into the chamber, getting her first good look at it since her second year, and even back then, she was more focused on surviving than taking in the sights.

Adriane looked at the Basilisk. "Good God, how in the name of merlin did I survive that!" She was in disbelief that she had survived against something like that with only a puffed-up turkey, an old ratty hat, and a sword.

She shook her head to snap herself out of it before she called Dobby and Winky to her.

"Miss Adriane Potter ma'am summons Dobby?" She sighed fondly and responded. "Yes, Dobby, but please, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Adriane?" She made sure to wink playfully at them, so they knew that while she did want him to call her, Adriane, she did not want him to punish himself.
