Chapter 12: Chamber of Secrets

A/N:  I give you the longest chapter of the fanfic yet.

Of course I wouldn't just start the romance right now, but I wanted to know just whether I should start a friendship right now or not. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter, as there will NOT be any HP/GW. I can say that i am also happy with the decision. Without further ado, on with the chapter.

The Chamber of Secrets

Harry groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. He observed his surroundings and saw that he was in the hospital wing. Adam was sitting in a seat next to him. Adam finally noticed that Harry was awake.

"Really Harry, even I thought you wouldn't be dumb enough to just jump off a broom to catch the snitch...guess i was wrong." Adam said. "Really? Is that what it looked like?" Harry asked. "No, it looked like you started flying without a broom and then crash landed! What the hell do you think it looked like?" Harry just smiled as Adam took out his frustration on Harry, but Harry knew that Adam must've been worried about him.

"You know what the funny thing is?" Adam asked. Harry raised an eyebrow in question. "Charlie Weasley, one of the best seekers Hogwarts has seen, or so they say, jumped off his broom in his final match against Slytherin during his seventh year! Just like you did!" Adam was speaking as if the world was full of idiots. Harry instantly sat up straighter. "Weasley?" He questioned.

Adam nodded. "Yeah he was a Gryffindor, and rumored as one of the best seekers Hogwarts has produced. He got numerous offers to play professional but the idiot rejected all that and went to work with Dragons in Romania." Adam replied as if recounting exactly what he had heard. Then he paused, "Are there really such things as Dragons?" Adam asked eyes going wide. "Yeah" Harry replied.

Madame Pomfrey came over and gave him some potions. He noted the Weasley reference in his mind, but he was already feeling weary, must be a sleep potion. A few seconds later and he was fast asleep.

When Harry woke up next, night had fallen. Harry wearily sat up on his seat and stretched. That was when he first heard the voice. "Rip...Kill..." Harry jumped out of the bed. He recognized a snake's voice and looked around but saw nobody.

Quickly putting on his cloak, Harry made to follow the now getting fainter voice. The voice seemed to be coming from just behind the walls. In his haste, Harry didn't even see the direction he was going, as he left the hospital wing.

Harry ran faster as he quickly approached a corner, and bumped into somebody as he fell. Harry quickly got up but any trace of the voice had by now been lost. He looked down to see John Potter getting up.

"What are you doing here?" Harry asked. "I had detention with Lockhart and was making my way back to the common room." John answered but was still unsure of his words.

Harry sneered. Bloody gryffindor's didn't even know how to lie properly. As if, John was going to tell him, Harry didn't need to think twice before using subtle legilimency on John as soon as their eyes met. Harry's sneer changed into confusion.

"You heard the voice too?" Harry questioned. John was alarmed at this but nodded. "What was it?" John asked. "I don't know and I wouldn't tell you even if I did." Harry walked away. But before he was out of earshot, he burst into laughter. John Potter, the boy-who-lived, is a parselmouth and he doesn't even know it! What would his parents or rather the wizarding world say to that?

"Wow!" Adam commented. Harry had just finished telling Adam about elemental magic and that he was an air elemental. "So you can control air, that's so cool!" Adam stated.
