Emily Black (HP FanFic)

Chapter. 18

We now know about the chamber and the monster that is supposed to be in there.

I'm a bit afraid, because the monster is supposed to get rid of all the muggle-born kids  in Hogwarts, that might mean kill, I'm a muggle-born.

I told George about it, he said that I shouldn't.
There have been two now, that have been petrified, mrs Norris and a boy named Colin Creevey he's in first year.

The same night Colin Creevey got petrified was the night that Harry had to stay in the hospital wing. A bludger hit his arm and broke it when he was playing Quidditch. Professor Lockhart was showing off, he said that he could fix it but the only thing he did was make all the bones in his arm go away.

He is such an idiot... Professor Lockhart, not Harry,
I really don't like him... Again, professor Lockhart, not Harry.

Soon there will be Christmas, Harry, Ron and Hermione will stay in Hogwarts, I guess I'll stay here too, the twins will be here as well.

Everybody thinks Harry is the heir, I don't believe it. But what do I know.

After the dueling club when Harry talked to the snake, told him to stop, that was when everyone started to think that Harry was the heir, I don't know why... I heard him tell the snake to stop but everyone else says that he spoke parseltongue.

Everyone is scared now, me too, but I still believe that Harry isn't the heir. And neither do the twins nor Hermione and Ron.

Just before Christmas break Harry ran into a petrified Justin Finch-Fletchley and Nearly-Headless Nick, were up to four now, just fantastic, hopefully there won't be more than that.

It's my birthday today. December 14. As soon as Harry saw me that morning, he hugged me and said happy birthday to me.
When I came downstairs that evening George was already there and when he saw me he stood up, gave me a hug and said happy birthday to me. Then he gave me a box and told me to open it.
In the box was a cupcake which looked delicious, I asked him where he got it? Did he bake it?
He laughed and said that he didn't know how to bake, but he said that he would tell me later. We talked all night like usual, the cupcake was really good like I thought.
At one point I got rather sad and teared up a bit, George hugged me and cheered me up, he can always make me laugh, well almost always.

George and Fred are always making jokes when Harry is around. It's rather funny. Harry told me that it made him feel a bit better, to know that the twins don't think it's true.
When the last term ended there were rather few that were left in Hogwarts. It was nice, it was only me and Harry, Hermione and the Weasley's that were in the Gryffindor tower.

Christmas morning came and Harry Ron and Hermione came downstairs with gifts - they all came down the boys dormitory, rather strange but I just shrugged it off. - George said that he would go upstairs to the boys dormitory and get Fred to come downstairs with them and get the gifts.

I went upstairs to the girls dormitory to get the gifts that I had gotten for the others. When everyone was downstairs we opened the gifts. I gave Hermione a book, a muggle book. Ron, I gave some chocolate frogs and a cauldron cake or two, I gave Harry something to do with quidditch, not really sure what it was, Hermione helped me figure out what to give him. I gave the twins a prank kit and they promised me that I could help them with some of them.

I got two books, one from Harry and the other from Hermione. Ron gave me sweetes and the twins actually gave me a prank kit almost exactly the same kind as I gave them.
I got the same fudge as Harry got from Hagrid,

I thought that was it but George said that there was one more for me, it was from mrs. Weasley, apperantly the twins and Ron had talked about me in some of the letters that they had sent her, I got a sweater with a big E on it.

Before it was time for christmas dinner we all went out and had a snowball fight. It was really fun, when we came back in we were all covered in snow.

We hurried up to Gryffindore common room to get changed and then we hurried down to the Great Hall.

Dumbledore led us in a few carrols and it was rather fun (I like singing), while we  sang I looked around the hall, it was beautiful. All around us were frozen covered christmas trees and enchanted snow was falling down on us, it was nice.

The christmas dinner was really really good, everything was good. Harry and Ron had had rather much to eat and just finished their second or third helping of christmas pudding when Hermione hurried them out of the Great Hall, that was weird.

After dinner me and the twins went to the Gryffindor tower, we played wizard chess and started planning some pranks.

Hermione didn't come with Harry and Ron to the common room, they told us that she had to stay in the hospital wing and later I learned what really happened. Even though I'm not always with Harry and them he still tells me stuff.

After I got upstairs I didn't want to go to sleep, not even try. This is my first christmas without my parents.

I waited for a few minutes before I went downstairs to read, this time I decided to sit where I could both read with the help of the fireplace and I could see when George would come.

After he came we talked about old family christmas story's. I was rather sad sometimes but George always made me feel better, he made me laugh when I needed it.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

When I went down to the Great Hall on Valentine's Day I was horrified, I hate pink, and in the great hall there were pink flowers and pink heart shaped confetti.

I hurried to the Gryffindor table and sat next to George. We talked about all of this while we ate, Harry sat next to me when he came into the hall.

The "cupids" were always coming into the classes and were in the corridors, I was a bit irritated.

After supper I went to the library to study... Okay maybe not to study.. I was looking for information about the monster in the chamber.

After an hour or so I found what I was looking for, it was a basilisk, I read all the information about it and started walking back to the common room.

Halfway there I decided to go to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and talk to her (Harry had told me about her when hehe told me about the Polijuce potion)

When I came into the bathroom I tried to find her, the floor was wet when I came there. I walked to the stalls and called her name.

All of a sudden I heard a noise. I had a feeling it was the basilisk, so I turned around with my eyes shut and tried to find the door.

When I got to the door I opened it. I heard someone say my name so I turned around but looked at the floor, at the puddles.

The last thing I saw was big yellow eyes and then it went black.

A/n. I'm sorry this chapter is late, I've been busy because of school and stuff. Sorry about the cliffhanger, the next chapter is the final chapter of 2nd year. I've only written one chapter after that so it might be a bit until the next chapters will be up. I will try to post the ones I've written up soon so you won't have to wait to long, I hope.
Hope you liked this chapter.
Till next time. 😊
