As Christmas passed into spring, Taylor Lay in the hospital, Luna seeming to always be by his side. His Christmas jumper had been draped over him, and the presents that had been left unopened. As time passed the situation. Hermione and a Ravenclaw called Penelope Clearwater were also found Petrified. Hermione had been holding a mirror and looking round a corner. However Staff didn't notice the small slip of paper in her clutched hand. Once Harry found the page which had been tore out of a book, they had an answer to the beast which had attack two of their friends. A Basilisk, A huge snake that can live for hundreds of years, who's daze can kill a man, who venom is incurable with scales that repel spells. Born from a chickens egg with has been incubated but a snake and the only known way to kill it is the call of a cockerel. The Ultimate Predator. How are you meant to kill a beast that you can look at with an unti-magic shield and venom which would kill you in minutes. This is what was hiding inside the chamber of secrets.

And when Ginny Weasley was taken into the chamber, Harry, Ron and a professor Lockhart headed into the second floor girl's bathroom. They didn't do this to peek on any girls or to use the rest room themselves. No they went to ask a ghost a question in the same toilets that Ron, Hermione and Harry had Brew Polyjuice potion early in the year, determined to find out if Draco was the air of Slytherin, which turned out to be a dead end anyway.

Moaning Myrtle sobbed in the same cubical her body was found in. When Harry asked how she died, she was happy. No one had asked her. She pointed to sinks and explained how she was crying and some came in, and she thought it was her bully, so she didn't come out. How she was confused when the person stated to hiss and there the sound of grinding stone and when she opened the door, she was faced with a pair of yellow eyes and then she died. And that is How they found the entrance to the chamber and they stated there decent to end this.

Also this went on unnoticed by the teachers, Professor Snape had been hard at work. The mandrakes were finally ready, and the potion to unfreeze the petrified students. He felt sick when he had learn the Taylor had been petrified, sure that that his blood line would keep he safe. He was draw to the boy, reminded of someone long lost. His kind, shy friend. He looked so much like her, it was almost unbearable. Whenever he looked at the boy, the same love and protective instinct that he once hold for his friend, began to pace in the back of his him. Restless and carefully restrained. If she hadn't fallen for a different man, he might still have her. She and Lily was his everything and both were taken from him. And once again, He had got a little part of her back and once again it was taken. This potion had to work, it just had too. So him could once again see her smile, even if it was on a different face. It was still her. Soon the Mandrake draft wound be ready and they would be free and he could see her, his Emily.

In the hospital wing, Fred and George sat next to their brother, waiting for their parents and any news of their sister. George twirled the broken glasses in his hands, looking at the glasses he had scooped from that small, a few months before.

"Do you think they will be alright" George asked his twin, Fred barked a short laugh.

"Of course, the mandrake draft will be ready in a few hours and I heard that someone has gone into the chambers to bring Ginny back, don't worry" Fred slumping in his chair, a large grin on his face. Percy walked into the hospital wing, holding flowers. He flat out ignored the twin and went straight to the bed way Penelope Clearwater lay.

"I can't believe him" George growled, "Taylor, has been nothing but kind to that prat, why can he act like that".

"He thinks Taylor puts more pressure on other family finances" George raised an eyebrow and Fred sighed, "I heard him confronting mum and dad about it, I doubt that is the whole reason though, maybe it like Ginny said.
