The History of The Chamber of Secrets

I collect my books neatly placing them in my handbag heading my way to Transfiguration class. A few students walk by waving hi to one another quickly making their way to class.

Just as I enter I see Smoky starring at a monkey chirping at it. I smile laughing internally at how adorable he can be. At times it makes me wonder if he'll ever grow out of that state of being a child, then again I don't want him to.

I spot Hermione sitting near the front she looks around the class connecting eyes with me, "(Y/n) over here!" She pats the seat next to her smiling brightly.

I set my stuff by the stool taking the seat to a comfortable spot. Smoky lands in front of me sitting on the small post that was placed on the edge of the table. He chirps tilting his head side to side like a confused child.

Professor McGonagall stands up from her desk waiting patiently for us to be quiet. Class went on with a new lesson of how to turn animals into glassware as she shows us how to perform it, "okay (L/n) you try one, two, three, Vera Verto"

I positioned my wand at Smoky as I say the words, "Vera Verto" Smoky morphs into a clean wine glass cup with an edge design, "Good, now you try Weasley"

Ron waved his wand horrified at how his pet rat, scabbers, was turned into a fuzzy brown cup with its tail still intact wiggling around. "That wand need replacing Mr.Weasley, now any questions?"

Hermione raised her hand getting called on she pauses for a bit before saying, "I was wondering if you can you tell us about the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Very well then you all know that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago. By the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. The four school Houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by the common people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution"

She glances around the room making sure everyone was listening to her words, " The story goes that Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in the castle, of which the other founders knew nothing. Slytherin, according to legend, sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that none would be able to open it until his own true heir arrived at the school. The heir alone would be able to unseal the Chamber of Secrets, unleash the horror within, and use it to purge the school of all who were unworthy to study magic"

This class took a turn in events. Professor McGonagall continued telling us that they've searched for it but couldn't find or if it was all just a huge lie about it. And a legendary monster that only the heir will be able to control wanders in that chamber, isn't that something new.

'Also how can it be a lie if we all just witnessed Filch's cat petrified and hooked on a torch?'

The class was dismissed as I picked up my hand pointing at my once Smoky, "oh right" she changed him back as well as Ron's rat. Smoky perches on my shoulder cooing against my face, "come on (Y/n)"

Hermione grabs my arm dragging me out as the guys joined us. We talked about the chamber and whom the heir could be, "who do we know who thinks muggle-borns are scum?"

I chuckle at how sarcastic Ron was acting, "Obviously it couldn't be that good angel Malfoy, could it?" I joined as we laughed together.

"No, but seriously Malfoy the Heir of Slytherin?" I roll my eyes as if he would be.

Harry hums walking near us whispering so others won't hear, "Look at his family. The whole lot of them have been in Slytherin's descendants. His fathers definitely evil enough"

"They could've had the key to the Chamber of Secrets for centuries!" Ron said with wide eyes. "But how do we prove it?" Harry asked looking down at the soles of his shoes.

I tapped my bottom lip suggesting the potion we learned a few weeks ago, "(Y/n) you know that's dangerous and that itself is breaking about 50 school rules"

Hermione wailed but thought about it before agreeing, "what is the potion you two are talking about?"

Harry asks as Ron nods wanting to know, "It's a Polyjuice Potion. It transforms you into any person you want for a while"

"That way Malfoy will tell us what he's thinking without realizing us you three," I tell them Harry's eyes glistened nodding as we ran off to the Library.

We searched for the book before hearing Smoky screech pulling out a book with his beak, "Thank you Smoky" I grab the book calling Hermione that we found it as we huddled together," so how long will this Potion take?"

I flip through the book pointing at the page it was on," about... One month"

"A month?! Do you know what Malfoy can do in a month if he really is the heir?!" Harry glanced between me and Hermione distress all over his face, "It's the only thing we got. Or do you want me to just get the info myself it would take less time you know?"

Ron nods at my words suggesting the easy way, "I suppose we can but knowing your relationship with Malfoy he would get suspicious if you just bumping into him asking a bunch of questions" Hermione said placing her hand on my shoulder. I shrugged saying I tried.

Saturday morning the birds chirping in the trees the people talking amongst each other on the stands and yes the Quidditch Game. Today was the first day of the Season for the Quidditch games and I couldn't be any more excited.

I quickly grab my stuff along with Smoky calmly sleeping on my head as I ran to the Quidditch field with my team. We were playing against Gryffindor the irony of this game, right? I pick up my bat getting ready to hop onto my broom. Flint stops me pointing out Smoky, "oh right"

I nudge Smoky getting him to wake up he chirps fluttering to the top on my broom, "Smoky go with Hermione and Ron, okay?" He chirps twice flying off to the Gryffindor side. Flint gets on his broom as we follow into the air. We had a few minutes before the game started so Flint took the time to pep talk to us.

"(Y/n) I want you to guard Malfoy knowing those Weasley's they'll try to throw him off balance" I nod seeing Malfoy shift closer to me in the corner of my eye."You know Sweetheart-"

"Don't call me that-"

"My father will be watching from the stands so make sure to make it seem like you love me while guarding"

He winks floating higher on his broom getting into position. I grip my bat growling at his words. I felt a hand on my head knowing its Flint telling me to calm down, "you can beat him up later Short-stack we have a game to play"
