Haylee potter and the chamber of secrets

chapter 3 - Death of me

Chapter 3 - Death of me

I stood on the other side of the barrier near the front of the train waiting for Harry. Fred stood next to me with George. I had just met there little sister Ginny, it was her first year of Hogwarts. The train whistle blew and we climbed on the train. I sat with Corith, Fefe,and Leah. Corith told me about her summer trip to scotland, Leah told me about her old home in france, and Fefe told me about America. After an hours i glanced out the window and my eyes widened, i saw Harry and Ron in a flying car. I stood up along with the others. They waved to us but we just stared at them.

" um.... Haylee isn't that your brother and his friend" Leah asked and i nodded. Then i watched in horror as Harry fell out of the door. I ran out of the compartment and towards the one Hermione and Neville were in. I threw open the door and Hermione looked at me.

" what's wrong Haylee she asked and i pointed at the window. She looked and shot out of her seat. Harry had somehow got back in the car with Ron's help. I sat down next to Neville and sighed.

" he's gonna be the death of me, Hermione" she looked at me and laughed, pretty soon we were all laughing. The train pulled into Hogsmeade and we rode the rest of the way to the castle in carriages. I satdown at the Gryffindor table. I laid my head on the table and Hermione just shook her head.

" are we sure your related, Haylee because it seems you have all the brains of the family" she pointed out. chuckled

" after a year you ask me this now" i looked at her and smiled. " maybe because im more mature then him, or because im my mother's daughter" i shrugged.

" do you remember anything from that time Haylee" she asked. Before i could answer the doors opened, the sorting had begun.

I followed Hermione up the stairs, towards the common room. As we walked i heard everyone gossiping about Harry and Ron crashing into the whomping willow outside. We got to the portrait to find Harry and Ron outside. Hermione started to lecture them but Ron cut her off.

" skip the lecture and tell us the new password" I sighed and stepped toward the portrait" wattlebird" I said clearly.

She smiled and the portrait swung open. I looked at harry with a glare then walked over and hit him upside the head. He rubbed his head and muttered an "oww" as he walked inside. Hermione did the same to Ron as we walked toward the dorms. I was the last one through the hole before it closed. I sat down on the bed and much like last year I feel asleep in my uniform.

The next morning, I walked down with Hermione to the Great Hall. I picked up an apple but before I took a bite I looked around just in case, goldie decided to deliver a letter. I didn't see her so I ate my apple and bacon. Only to have my bacon swiped by a owl with golden wings. I glared as she landed on the table in front of me.

" really Goldie, the bacon, that was mine you silly little owl. " she just innocently cooed at me. I rolled my eyes and finished my apple. I took a letter from my bag and gave it to her.

" take it to mom and dad, Goldie" I told her and she flew off. I smiled, then got up and went down to the lake. I sat down next to the tree and just watched the water. I sighed and took out my wand, and one of spell books my mom got me, ( that I didn't need). I looked through the book for an easy one. I practiced the wand movements first. Then as I was about to practice the spell a pain shot through my neck. I cried out in pain.

This had happened a couple times over the summer but not this bad. I pulled a small make-up mirror from my bag, and moved my hair out of the way. The crescent shaped scar was a crimson red. I touched it and winced. I could still hear his voice from last year. Saying that he would make me wish I was dead. I heard footsteps and moved my hair back into place. I looked up to see, Gildroy lockhart . He dawned and put a big smile. My eyes widened and I shot to my feet I took off running for Hagrid's Hut. Lockhart started calling my name but kept running. Once at Hagrid's, I knocked on his door. He opened the door and smiled.

" hello Haylee, what can I do for you" then he saw Lockhart and he grabbed my arm pulling me inside." hide Haylee this guy is annoying" he told me as Lockhart knocked on the door.

I rolled my eyes" tell me about it"i sighed and hid in the kitchen of his Hut under the table. I heard the door open and I held my breath.

" hello professor, " Hagrid greeted." I need to speak with miss Potter"

" sorry but she's not here" I heard the door slam and I crawled out. I sighed and sat in one of the chairs next to Hagrid. He handed me a cup of tea and I took a sip of it. " thanks Hagrid " he nodded.

" happy to help, Haylee. Especially with Lockhart" he chuckled and I smiled then looked down" Hagrid did you know I was alive before last year" I asked. He smiled" no, your mom and dad did that themselves. We just didn't get there in time." i looked down sadly.

" thanks Hagrid" i hugged him then left the hut. I walked back to the lake, sat down and went back to thinking. After a while i walked back up to the castle for lunch. The reason i had stayed out there so long was because i had a free morning, no classes until after lunch for me. I told and showed professor Mcgonagall that i could already change beetles into buttons. She congratulated me on that and gave me pass from her class this morning, i still had to go tomorrow though.

I sat down next to Hermione and she looked over me a eyebrow raised.

" where were you this morning" she asked and i smirked." down by the lake, got a free pass from Mcgonagall" she looked shocked and confused.

" how did you get that"

" i already know how to change a beetle into a button." i said proudly." i practice the wand movements, then i cast the spell, That's all. I don't know how i do it" i explained to her. She nodded in understanding" its just to easy, Hermione. Its like i look at the spell and i can just do it with out being showed what it does".

She looked deep in thought. " same with potions" i picked up a goblet of pumpkin juice and took a drink. I reached into my bag taking out my potion book. I looked through it while i ate. Then i though of some thing. I put the book away and walked out of Great Hall.
