S E V E N T Y O N E | The Chamber Of Secrets

Dear the girl who hates the Ministry and Umbitch,

Don't worry. Even if you came to Scotland, you'd never be able to find Hogwarts. It's surrounded by Anti-Muggle protections so Muggles can't get within 50 feet of Hogwarts.

Yeah we do, we need a lot more people like Cedric in this world and less people like Voldemort. Cedric didn't deserve what happened to him. No one does.

I found out in my second year at Hogwarts. It's another long and complicated story but I'll try and keep it short. I haven't got much time to write letters these days and I'm currently writing this in between classes.

Anyway, so I was in my second year and something bad was happening at Hogwarts (surprise). There were these attacks that were going on at Hogwarts where the victims would end up in a paralysed state. (Don't worry they all got revived in the end, it just took a complicated potion to be able to help them.) Anyway these attacks were only happening to the Muggle-Borns at Hogwarts. So talk went around that it had something to do with the Slytherin house. (The Slytherin founder only accepted Pure-Blooded and Half-Blooded wizards and witches and resented any Muggle-Borns.)

Well I guess some people did some research because soon after there was talk about the Chamber of Secrets being opened again. It was said that when Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts he had built a secret chamber and kept a horrible monster inside it to get rid of all the Muggle-borns inside the school.

(Salazar was one of the founders of Hogwarts. He thought only Pure-bloods should be accepted into Hogwarts but the other founders didn't agree so they argued and in the end Salazar left.)

Are you following so far?

Anyway, all of this was happening but on top of that I kept hearing this voice. A voice in the walls that kept saying it was going to kill. I would follow this voice and lo and behold, it would lead me straight to a new victim of these attacks.

This led to people believing I was the heir of Slytherin and was the one under the attacks. Oh, did I mention it was said that only the heir of Slytherin would be able to open the Chamber of Secrets? Also, I told no one of the voice I heard apart from Ron and Hermione because hearing voices is never a good thing.

Another useful piece of information is shortly after all this happened I found out I was a Parselmouth. Which means I can talk to snakes.
