I was sitting in Transfiguration class with Draco and we were learning how to turn our animals into glass cups.
"Now remember class, one, two, three.... Vera Verto."
She pointed at the bird that was on a stand and it turned into a clear glass cup. I smiled and looked down at Midnight. Didn't really want to turn her into a cup....
"Ah.. Mr Weasley, one, two, three... Vera Verto."
Ron cleared his throat and pulled out his wand, pointing it at his rat.
"Vera Verto!"
He turned the rat into a glass but not in the same way Professor McGonagall had..... the glass still had rat fur and it still had its tail. Me and Draco smirked and giggled slightly.
"You need to get that wand replaced Mr Weasley...."
Ron looked down and Professor McGonagall turned her attention to me.
"Miss Lightwood, one, two, three... Vera Verto..."
I nodded and pointed my wand at Midnight.
"Vera Verto..."
Midnight turned into a glass cup and I smiled. The rest of the class clapped and McGonagall looked at me pleased. She turned Midnight back to her normal self and Hermione put her hand up.
"Yes Miss Granger??"
"Professor can you tell us more..... about the Chamber of Secrets??"
Everyone in the classroom froze, later today a boy was found petrified on the floor. No one knows how it happens but they believe that the Chamber Of Secrets has been opened.....
I put my hand under the desk and held Draco's hand, he smiled and squeezed it, telling me that it was ok. Professor McGonagall sighed and looked at her class.
"The Chamber Of Secrets was told to be somewhere here in Hogwarts and that it can be only opened by the true Heir of Slytherin..... but what most people are scared of, is the beast that lives inside. No one has ever seen what it looks like but the last person to see it, was a girl..... who died.... Spiders run from the beast and that if you don't look at the beast directly, like for example using a mirror, then you become petrified...... the Chamber Of Secrets hasn't been opened for 50 years..... and I think we would like to keep it that way..."
I shuddered slightly and moved closer to Malfoy. I could feel some people's eyes on me. Did they think that I'm the Heir?? I just moved to Slytherin!
I walked out of the class quickly while Draco and Katie hurried on after me.
"Princess are you alright??"
I looked back at him, I looked around at people staring at me and whispering.
"C-can we go back to the common room??"
Draco nodded and took my hand, Katie walked beside me and smiled.

We made our way into the Slytherin common room and sat down on some of the couches. I sighed and put my head in my hands.
"Princess your scaring me now..."
I looked up at Draco who had his arm around me. I sat up and leaned closer to him and Katie.
"Look around, look at what everyone is doing...."
They looked around the common room to see everyone staring at me. They would look and whisper, some even pointing at me.
"So? What's the problem princess??"
"They think that I'm the Heir of Slytherin..... I heard some Hufflepuffs conversation.... everyone in Hogwarts is going to think that I'm the Heir of Slytherin...."
I groaned and leaned back, placing my head on Draco's shoulder. He rubbed my back and smiled softly.
"It's ok princess...."
"I'm going for a walk..."
I stood up and walked out of the common room, not even looking at anyone.

Why would they think that I am the Heir? My family's symbol is a dragon... not a snake! Why can't I just have one normal school year without being the Lightwood descendant??
I sighed and turned the corner, I looked up and looked shocked. There was a message on the wall.... it said,
"The Chamber Of Secrets has been opened, enemies of the Heir..... beware.."
I looked over to see Harry, Ron and Hermione, they were examining the wall and what was hanging from it, Mrs Norris....
"What are you three doing?!"
They turned their heads to face me as I looked at them in shock.
"Dawn it's not what it looks-."
"Dawn!!"
Draco caught up with me and looked at the wall in pure shock.
"W-What the hell....."
Soon enough people started crowding around it, looking at the wall.
"The Heir has given us a warning!!"
Most people looked at me and I rolled my eyes. I saw Parkinson come into view and she smirked at Hermione.
"Looks like your next Mudblood!"
"Shut it Parkinson!"
She turned to be and smirked at me as well.
"Well if it isn't the Heir of Slytherin, are you gonna kill all the Mudbloods??"
I gritted my teeth and stood forward so that I was closer to her.
"I am not the Heir of Slytherin....."
"Really?? That's hard to believe since you-."
She was cut off and looked at me in shock, my eyes were white and I could feel a bright light behind me. I turned around to see a massive silver dragon behind me. I smirked and turned to Parkinson,
"I am a Lightwood, we are the descendants of the first ever magic family and we come from the power of the Silver Dragon. If I remember correctly, the Heir of Slytherin's descendants come from the snake. So how could I possibly be the Heir??"
I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Dumbledore, I calmed down and the dragon flew in me, causing me to collapse. I felt someone catch me and I opened my eyes slightly.
"What happened to her?!"
Draco held me tightly and looked up at Dumbledore.
"She has just used too much power..... Mr Malfoy may you take her to the hospital wing??"
I felt Draco pick me up and take me to the wing, I started to drift off until everything went black.

Quick note: I may put some parts of the story in a different order.... it just makes it so the story flows more since it's not from the POV of Harry Potter
