Silent Love (Harry Potter Love Story)

Chapter 13

Tomorrow finally come, Hermione already makes the polyjuice potion tin the girls bathroom. We just sit here until finally Ron and Harry come.
“Hi,” I said. “How your arms right now?”
“It’s good. It’s better,” Harry said. “I need to tell you something.”
 
Then Harry tells us about the chamber of secrets have been opened, about Dobby that hex the bludger.
“That elf is trying to kill you.” Ron said.
“Yeah, but I’m pretty sure, he didn’t mean it,” I said.
“Again? You mean the Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?” Hermione said.
“ Of course. Don’t you see? Lucius Malfoy must have opened it when he was at school here. And now he’s taught Draco how to do it,” said Ron
“ Maybe. We’ll have to wait for the Polyjuice Potion to know for sure” said Hermione
“ Enlighten me. Why are we brewing this potion in broad daylight, in the middle of a girl’s lavatory? Don’t you think we’ll get caught?”said Ron
“ Heh... No. No one ever comes in here,” said Hermione
“ Why?” Ron asked.
“ Moaning Myrtle,” I said.
“ Who?” Harry asked
“ Moaning Myrtle,” Hermione said
“ Who’s Moaning Myrtle?” asked Ron
“ I’m Moaning Myrtle! I wouldn’t expect you to know me! Who would ever talk about ugly, miserable, moping Moaning Myrtle? Huh...aaaah!” said Myrtle and run into the toilet
“ She’s a little sensitive,” I said.
 
Tonight, Lockhart stars dueling club. Everybody comes to watch it. And Lockhart begin to speak.
“ Gather ‘round, gather ‘round! Can everybody see me? Can you all hear me? Excellent! In light of the dark events of recent weeks, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little Dueling Club to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves, as I myself have done on countless occasions- for full details, see my published works. Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape. He has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration. Now, I don’t want any of you youngsters to worry- you’ll still have your Potions master when I’m through with him, never fear. One, two, three- “ said Lockhart.
“ Expelliarmus!” said Snape and Lockhart fly back on the edge of the stage.
“Do you think he’s all right?” asked Hermione
“Maybe,” I said.
“ Who cares?” Ron said and Harry and Ron laughed.
“ An excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape, but if you don’t mind me saying, it was pretty obvious- ah- what you were about to do. And if I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy,” said Lockhart. I think Lockhart just try to hide his shame.
“ Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, Professor,” said Snape.
“ An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape! Ah... Let’s have a volunteer pair! Um, Potter, Weasley, how about you?” said Lockhart.
“ Weasley’s wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We’ll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox,” said Snape.
“Then Peter, come up,” Lockhart said and I suppose to get up.
“Ms. Peter is a delicate little girl. Might I suggest someone from my own house? Malfoy, perhaps?”said Snape. And Malfoy stands up.
“Good luck,” I whispered.
“ Good luck, Potter,”said Lockhart.
“ Thank you, sir,” said Harry.
“ Wands at the ready,” said Lockhart.
“ Scared, Potter?” said Malfoy.
“ You wish,” said Harry. Everybody is laughting
“ On the count of three, cast your charms to disarm your opponent- only to disarm. We don’t want any accidents here. One, two--,” said Lockhart. Before Lockhart can’t say three then..
“ Everte statium!” said Malfoy. And Harry fly back in the air.
“ Oh! Is he ok?” I asked.
“I think so,” Hermione said.
“Rictusempra!” Harry said and now Malfoy fly back in the air.
“ I said disarm only!” said Lockhart
“ Serpensortia!” said Malfoy and a giant snake appears.
“ Don’t move, Potter. I’ll get rid of it for you,” said Snape
“ Allow me, Professor Snape. Alarte ascendare!” said Lockhart but the snake just getting bigger.
“ Sya- hassa- she. Sya- hasi- heth. Sya- hasi- heth,” Harry said something weird. I don’t really know what it means. It’s like he commands something to that snake. Everyone just stared at Harry
“ Vipera evenesca,” said Snape and the snake disappear.
” What are you playing at?” said Justin. And Lockhart said that we should get back to the common room.
 
“You’re a Parselmouth? Why didn’t you tell us?” asked Ron.
“Parselmouth? What is it?” I asked
“ I’m a what?” Harry asked
“ You can talk to snakes,” said Hermione
“ I know. I mean, I accidentally set a python on my cousin Dudley at the zoo once. Uh, once! But, so what? I bet loads of people here can do it,” said Harry.
“ No, they can’t. It’s not a very common gift, Harry. This is bad,”said Hermione
“ What’s bad? If I hadn’t told that snake not to attack Justin-“ said Harry
“ Oh, that’s what you said to it!” said Ron
“ You were there! You heard me!” said Harry
“ We heard you speaking Parseltongue. Snake language?” I said
“ I spoke a different language? But- I didn’t realize I- how can I speak a language without knowing I can?” said Harry
“ I don’t know, Harry, but it sounded like you were egging the snake on, or something. Harry, listen to me. There’s a reason the symbol of Slytherin House is a serpent. Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth. He could talk to snakes, too,” said Hermione
“ Exactly! Now the whole school’s gonna think you’re his great- great- great grandson, or something,” said Ron.
“I don’t think so,” I said.
“ But I’m not... I can’t be,” said Harry
“ He lived a thousand years ago; for all we know, you could be,” said Hermione. And I glare at her.
 
Now, we’re at study hall, studying. I sit beside Harry and Ron, Hermione sit accroas us. Everybody in the room seems whisper something about Harry. Why everybody think he’s the heir of Slytherin just because he can speak snakes. It doesn’t prove anything. And Harry is not comfortable about it. I understand, if I were him, I think I’ll never show myself again except for classes.
“ I’ll see you back in the common room,” Harry said.
“Harry, are you Ok?” asked Hermione.
“Do you need anything?” I asked.
“I’m fine really,” Harry said but I can see in his eyes that he lied. “See you guys later.” Harry smiled and walk away.
“Hermione, do you really need to asks if he’s okay?” Ron said. “He’s definitely not ok.”
“That’s fine Ron, we don’t really know how to talk this to him,” I said. “And why people judge him just because he can speak parselmouth. It doesn’t mean that he’s the heir of Slytherin. Maybe the real one is still hiding.”
“Yeah, one thing that we can do is wait for the polyjuice potion.” Hermione said.
“Yeah, that’s the only way,” I said.
