Madison Potter and The Chamber of Secrets

Chapter 10: Stepping Down

I don't own Harry Potter. Only Madison Potter. And Alice Dodson

You'll see more of Alice in this chapter, okay? Anyway.... Lets get to the story!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I frowned. I knew that right after I had my last class, I would have to goto the Chamber. I have to step down. I can't petrify my best friend! Hermione is like my sister, and I can't do that to her. It's just be cruel.

I had DADA last today; we had to write a report on his 'thrilling' tale of that Banshee thingy in class. He kept replying to his fan mail, with the occasional mutter of "ahh, you see? That's the spirit! Love, Gilderoy Lockhart..."

I'm pretty sure I didn't ask to hear what he was replying to his fans, thank you very much.

"Now, class, lets read some aloud! Volunteers?"

"I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!" I exclaimed as I stood up. My older brother and Hermione rolled they're eyes at my Hunger Games reference.

"Okay, Miss Potter!"

I handed the Fraud my essay, and knew that it'd be hard to hold back some sort of laugh.

He began to read what I had written:

"Gilderoy Lockhart (aka- the Fraud) got rid off the Banshee woman thingy (or so he says) by smiling at her. He got rid of her that way because his smile was just so fucking hideous, that she screamed her little scream thingy, and ran away. The poor Banshee couldn't just accept the fact that he was smiling at her.

The Banshee is still out there today, but it's scare dot come out of its shadow or something....... This proves that Gilderoy Lockhart (the Fraud) has a smile so hideous, that even a Banshee will run away at the sight of it. And a Banshee is a magical creature that's very hard to scare."

The class was laughing. Some of my classmates (Hermione, Lavender, Pavarti) were looking at me as if to say:

"Grow up."

Grow up? Yea, I'll do that when I feel like it. So, like, never.

"Well, that was..... Uhm..." The Fraid never got to finish because the bell rang. Yay! Schools out!

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER! SCHOOLS OUT FOREVER!

No. It's only December fifth. I have a long ways to go........... Sadly.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I made my way to the meeting place in the Chamber of Secrets. I had to step down.

"Tom, I'm sorry..."

"For what?" He calmly said.

I took a deep breath. "I have to step down. I can't do this!"

"Why?"

"Because," I began. "I don't want to petrify my best friend. And I'm not stupid. I know who you are."

"And who am I?" He asked, daringly.

I took another deep breath. "Tom Marvolo Riddle....... If you arrange them in certain words, it says:

I AM LORD VOLDEMORT."

He scowled at me. "Very clever, you are, Potter."

Something weird happened. I grabbed my left hand, where my lightning bolt scar was.

It was hurting like there was no such thing as tommorrow. When I took a glance at it, a redish fire like thingy was etching through it.

I rolled up my sleeves. My scar that said:

NIETHER SHALL LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES

Was etching in a red flame thingy as well.

My body was hurting, like a curse. Like the cruciatous curse, times a billion. And I know what that Unforgiveable Curse feels like. Remember last year?

"Why hello, Potter."

"Alice? Alice Dodson?" I gasped as I gasped for air.

"Hello. Time for you to die!"

I gasped for air, before teleporting to what was it..... The Charms corridor?

That was when I swam into some sort of darkness, unsure if I would ever wake up again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

okay, I preferably hate writing the Chamber of Secrets, okay? So, this was the second not last chapter, okay?

It all works out in the end :)

I just really hate writing this book, because honestly? Book two is my least favorite. I prefer book seven. And three.

So, the next chater is the final chapter, okay?

And then..... The next book will be......

MADISON POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
