We arrive at the painting of the Fat Lady.
"You do know that this will most likely be all over the school by lunch time tomorrow." I said
"Yeah." Ron said
"Why couldn't this year be normal." I said
Unknown Tim Skip Transfiguration Classroom...
McGonagall stands before the class. Resting on the desk in front of each student, is a different animal.
"Today, we will be turning animals into water goblets." McGonagall said
She taps the bird in front of her, three times, with the tip of her wand. It transfigures into a beautiful crystal water goblet.
"Now, who would like to go first... Mr. Weasley?" McGonagall asked
Ron nods. He taps his rat, Scabbers, who turns into a goblet with a tail.
"You must replace that, Mr. Weasley." McGonagall said
Ron nods sheepishly, looks at his broken wand. I lean over.
"I'll give you the money to get a new one." I said
"I might take you up on it." Ron said
"And if your family says, no I just do it as a Christmas or birthday present." I said
Hermione raised her hand, her animal still an animal.
"Yes, Miss Granger?" McGonagall asked
"Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione asked
A hush falls over the class, everyone's attention is now on Hermione and McGonagall.
"My subject is Transfiguration, Miss. Granger." McGonagall said
"Yes, Professor. But there seems to be very little written about the Chamber of Secrets. For those of us with a personal interest in the subject, that is...disturbing." Hermione said
Malfoy regards Hermione with chilly amusement, I glare at him and he looks away. McGonagall considers Hermione's question for a long moment, then nods.
"Very well. You all know, of course that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. One did not." McGonagall said
"Three glasses who?" Ron asked
"Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. In other words, purebloods. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. According to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The heir alone would be able to open the chamber and unleash the horror within, and by so doing, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic." McGonagall said
"Muggle-born's." Hermione said
"yes. Naturally, the school has been searched many times for such a chamber. It has never been found." McGonagall said
