"I will finally be your friend."

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

The next day, the three of us sat in the Hospital Wing. Hermione's pale and shocked face stuck in my mind. I rubbed her hand, sighing.
Flowers sat around the girl, with many cards too. Harry changed the dried flowers switching it into some new ones.

"Wish you were here, Hermione. We need you, now more than ever." Harry said to her, a slight tear dripped down my face, feeling sorry for the girl. Ron's arm wrapped around my shoulder. Rubbing Hermione's hand again, I felt someone in her palm. I opened her hand, pulling out the paper which me and Hermione found that day.

"What's that?" Ron asked. I straightened out the paper, looking at it once again.
"We found it in the library." I answered.
"Ron, this is why Hermione was outside the library the day she was attacked." Harry added, I nodded my head at his realisation.

"Come on!" Harry shouted. We got to our feet, running after Harry.
" "Of the many fearsome beasts that roam our land, none is more deadly than the Basilisk. Capable of living for hundreds of years, instant death awaits any who meet this giant serpent's eye. Spiders flee before it." " I read from the page, looking at the two boys.
"Ron, Y/N, this is it! The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a Basilisk. That's why I can hear it speak. It's a snake." Harry told us.

"I said that already, you both don't listen to me." I rolled my eyes at the two. Ron laughed and pushed me gently.
"But if it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one's dead?" Ron questioned.
Harry wondered for a few seconds before I replied.

"No one looks at the Basilisk directly." I commented, Harry smiled, realising I was right.
"Colin saw it through his camera. Justin...Justin must've seen the Basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast of it, but he's a ghost. He couldn't die..again." Harry explained.
"Hermione had her mirror, she used it to look around corners!" I added, smiling at Hermione's logical thinking.

"And Mrs. Norris? I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry." Ron said. Harry thought back to when Mrs. Norris was petrified, I thought about the water that laid on the floor under Mrs. Norris as she hung.
"The water!" I shouted.
"There was water on the floor that night. She only saw the Basilisk's reflection." Harry told Ron.
Ron nodded as Harry looked at the page again.

"Spiders flee before it. It all fits!" Harry exclaimed, Harry had a proud smile at his newly found knowledge. I laughed at Harry and Ron asked another question.
"But how's the Basilisk been getting around? A dirty great snake, someone would've seen it."
"Pipes." I answered. "Hermione wrote it down." I carried on.

"Remember what Aragog said about that girl fifty years ago, she died in a bathroom? What if she never left?" Harry found out.
"Moaning Myrtle!" Ron answered. I nodded my head as we walked on. McGonagall voice was heard on the speakers, telling us to return to our dormitories at once. Ron glanced at me and Harry, confusion filled his eyes. We hurried to the second floor, where McGonagall told the teachers to meet. Professor McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, Madam Pomfrey and Filch ran up to the wall. From the small space between them, I saw red writing across the walls.

McGonagall spoke for a bit, then released some horrible news. Ginny Weasley had been taken to the Chamber, McGonagall also told Lockhart that he could save Ginny from his cockiness. Me, Harry and Ron stood in shock, Ron shook next to me, his hands trembled with a quivering lip.
Once the teachers were gone, I stepped towards the writing that dropped down the wall.
'Her skeleton will lie in the Chamber forever.'
