The Hogwarts Beauty PT 2 (Draco Malfoy Love Story)

Chapter 22 - Into The Chamber

Draco's POV
"Didn't you hear?! Belle's missing." I heard Blaise.
I was shocked.

"What?" I asked.
"Belle's missing. She's been missing since last night." he replied.

This can't be. I thought.

I started to walked to the portrait.
"Draco! Where are you going?" Marcus asked.

"I'm going after her." I said.
"You know you can't! Snape says so." said Marcus.
I really wanted to go and help Belle. But I couldn't...I'm such a coward.

Harry's POV

"Lockhart maybe useless, but he's going to try get in the chamber. We can at least tell him what we now." I said. We're going to Lockhart's Office.

"Professor! We have some information to tell you." I said.

We suddenly saw him packing his belongings.

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked.

"Well, yes. Urgent call. Unavoidable. Got to go." he said.
"What about my sister and our best friend?!" Ron asked.

"Well...umm....as for that most unfortunate." said Lockhart.

"You're the Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher. You can't go now." said Ron.

"I must say, when I took the job. There was nothing in the job description about--" I cut in.
"You're going away?! After all that stuff you did in your books?!"

"Book can be misleading." said Lockhart.

"You wrote them!" I exclaimed.
"Don't you use common sense. My books wouldn't sell half as well if people didn't think I did all those things." he said.

"You're a fraud! You've been taking credit for what other wizards have done." I said.

"Is there anything you can do?" Ron asked.
"Yes. Now, you've mentioned it. I'm rather gifted with memory charms otherwise all those wizards would have gone blabbering or I wouldn't sold another book." he says.

Then I realized that he's going to pull out his wand. Ron and I looked at each other and nodded.
"I fact, I'm going to do the same to you."

Ron and I pointed our wands at Lockhart.

"Don't even think about it." I said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We walked into the girls bathroom and heard Myrtle.

"Oh, who's there?" she asked. Then she saw us.

"Oh, hello Harry. *giggles* What do you want?" she said.
"To ask you how you died." I asked.

"Oh. It was dreadful. It happened right here in this very cubicle. I did it, because everyone was teasing me about my glasses. I was crying and then...I heard someone come in." Myrtle said.
"Who was it?" I asked.
"I don't know. I was distraught, but they said something funny. A kind of made up language and I realized it was a boy speaking, so I locked myself in the cubicle and told him to go away and...I died."

"Just like that. How?" I said.

"I just remember seeing a pair of great big yellow eyes over there by that sink." she said.

I walked over to the sink and noticed something on it. It was a snake.

"This is it. This is it, Ron. I think this is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets." I said.
"Say something. Harry, say something in Parseltongue." said Ron.

I suddenly started to speak it, without knowing.

The Chamber began to open.

"Excellent Harry. Good work, well then. There's no need for me to stay." said Lockhart.

We were about to stop him until these two young ninjas came and stop him.

"Who are you, my fair ladies?" Lockhart asked.
One of the ladies smirked and then they turned to us.

"You're Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, am I correct?" she asked us.
We nodded.

"We're with Shang. He's with others." she said.
Then they looked at Lockhart. They both pushed him to the entrance of the chamber.

"You first." she said.

"Now, my fair lady. What good will it do?" he asked.
"Better you than us." said Ron.

One of ninja giggled. "We all know you, Lockhart. Just like Shang said, you're a coward."
Lockhart gulped.

He turned around and looked at us.
"Your sure one of you should go---" Ron pushed Lockhart into the Chamber.

"It's really quite filthy down here." said Lockhart.

"Alright. Let's go." I said.

"Oh Harry. If you die down there, you're welcome to share my toilet." said Myrtle, giggling.

"Um...thanks Myrtle." I said. Then I turned to the ninjas.

"We're right behind you."

I nodded and we jumped down.

Ron jumped behind me, along with the other ninjas.
We landed in a bunch of fish bones.

"Yuck. It's disgusting down here." said Ron.
I sighed and put my wand away.

"Remember any sign of movement. Close your eyes straight away." I said.

Ron and I climbed into a tunnel and we kept on walking until we saw a snake skin.

"What's this?" Ron asked.
"It looks like a snake." said Lockhart.

"It's a snake skin." I said, looking at it.
"Bloody Hell. Whatever shed this must be 60 feet long." said Ron.

"Or more." said the ninja.

Lockhart fainted.

"Heart of a lion on this one." said Ron. (I think that's what Ron said? I think)

Lockhart got up quickly and grabbed Ron's wand. The ninjas girls got there weapons ready as well.

"The adventure ends here boys and girls. But don't fret the world will know our story. How it was too late to save the girls. How you four tragically lost your minds at the sight of their mangled body. So, you first, Mr. Potter. say good bye to your memories. Oliviate!" said Lockhart.

The spell ended up hitting Lockhart instead. The ceiling start to crumble. One of the ninja got me and then other got Ron.

We got separated.

"Harry!'' Ron yelled.
"Ron! Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine." he said.

"What about you, sis?!" the ninja asked, who was beside me.
"I'm fine."

They're sisters? I thought.

Then I heard Lockhart got up.

"Hello. Who are you?" he asked Ron.
"Um...and....um..W-Who am I?" he asked.

Uh-oh

"Lockhart's memory charm backfired. He hasn't got a clue who he is." said Ron.
"It's a odd place to live here." said Lockhart. He pick up a rock.

"Do you live here?' he asked.

Ron took the rock. "No."
"Really?" asked Lockhart.

"Oh, why won't you shut up!" the ninja hit Lockhart, with her fist.

"What do I do now?" Ron asked.

"You stay here with her and try to move some of these rock so we can get back through. We'll go find Ginny and Belle." I said.

"Okay." said Ron.

The Ninja and I got up and walked ahead.
As we were walking, it became quiet between us.

"So, I never catch your name." I said.
"Oh, sorry about that. The name's Mei." she said.

"Nice to meet you, Mei" I said.

She smiled at that. "And how about your sister?" I asked.

"Her name is Lin. She's usually shy around new people." she replied.

I chuckled at that.

"But, enough of the introduction. Let's focus on rescuing your friend and Belle." she said.

I nodded.

We saw the door and I spoke Parseltongue. The vault opened and we walked in.
