"Now, today we will be transforming animals into water goblets. Like so, one, two, three, Vera Verto." The bird turned into a water goblet.

"Now, it's your turn. Who would like to go first? Ah, Mr Weasley, one, two, three, Vera Verto"

"Vera Verto." He said but his rat turned into a rat goblet.

Granger raised her hand.

"Yes, Miss Granger."

"Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets."

Once again, many turned to stare at me. What was the matter with them?

"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 the age. Godrick Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. 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, purebloods. 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. Well shortly before departing, he sealed it. Until that time when his own true heir returned to school, the heir alone would be able to open the Chamber and unleash the horror within. And by so doing, purge the school of those in Slytherin's view were unworthy to study magic."

Oh.

Even Harry and Ron were sending me judgemental glances. 

"Naturally, the school was searched many times. But no such chamber has been found." 

"Professor, what exactly does legend tell us lies within the chamber?" Asked Granger,

"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."

The looks turned from judgemental to hatred.

From then on, everyone was staring at me in school. While some Slytherins patted me on the back proudly, some others couldn't believe that I would kill someone for my ancestor. 

Even Harry and Ron stopped talking to me. 

I guess this year won't be normal either.
