The Snake's Secret * under revision*

Duelling Again

So this is a LONG chapter, it introduces a new part that I put in with the help of theInquisitor1 that structures the dark side a bit more, introduces a new governing body and will complete the trinity of families that I have on the dark side, it'll all make sense eventually, please bare with me. Love you my little snakes.

After a chilling talk in history where Hermione hounded Professor Binns for answers on the chamber of secrets, trying to dig for any information they may not have yet, Harry was walking to his next class but....

He couldn't fathom what was going on, there was a commotion going on in the hallway as he was trying to get from A to B.

People were being even more skittish as he walked past and actively avoiding the Slytherins. It was almost impossible to see through the crowd so he had to work his way to the front, which wasn't that hard when nobody wanted to be within 15 feet of him.

What he saw made his blood boil. Lying there, petrified, was Colin Creevey. A first year Gryffindore who Harry had mostly ignored, but who still somehow didn't get the hint. And now that he lay petrified on the stone floor he had mixed emotions, finally someone had taken a shot at him. But, he was petrified. And according to the book he had been reading not that long ago that's what happens when a person looks indirectly into the eyes of a Basilisk. And the only Basilisk that could possibly do this is the one from the chamber of secrets.

He involuntarily shook. Someone was abusing his Dad's soul. They were going to pay.

However the shaking seemed to play in his favour, there were slow whisperings from the other students, they thought he was upset for Colin.

With a large sigh Harry turned away to look his friends in the eyes and they could tell something was deeply wrong. They made way for him to pass and Harry made his way away from the scene before his magic lashed out and murdered somebody.

As he walked away Madam Pomfery rushed past to get to Colin, turning the corner the only thing Harry could see was the camera held up by his frozen hands.

At dinner everybody was whispering about the ordeal, not knowing what to make of it. Harry sat there staring at his food, word will soon get back to Voldemort and he will work out what's happening here as well. Harry didn't want to think about it.

Just then, one of the few things that improved his day happened. Harry was one of the last to leave the hall and he saw Hagrid burst through the door, face ashen and rushed up to the front of the hall.

The oaf isn't all that adept at whispering so Harry could easily hear him from next to the door . "Sir, there's.....there's a body. In the woods, the Centaurs found it. It is ripped to shreds, I can't tell who it it was. But, there's blood everywhere, the spray patterns, the poor sod was alive while it all happened to them."

Shocked gasps rippled through the teachers as they took in the news, a mutilated and dead body had been found inside the school grounds. And what's worse is they have no idea who it is.

Harry turned and left, he wouldn't hear anything of importance from the rest of the conversation. He had to suppress a grin from taking over his features as he strode down the steps to the dungeons. Tomorrow is Saturday, he would have time free to spend as he wants, or so he thought.

Students could be pulled out of school over the weekend by their parents if they wanted to, and Harry was just finding this out. Mr Malfoy had arrived at the school to collect Harry and his friends including Crabbe and Goyle. Voldemort wanted to see them.
