COMPLETE Book 2: Amortentia (SnapeLove)

Petrifying

After dinner, the other professors and I make our way to Albuss office for a meeting, while the students head off to their common rooms. However we come to meet Harry, Ron and Hermoine  in one of the main hallways.
I look up on the wall and notice, written in what seems like blood, the words 'the chamber of secrets have been opened. Enemies of the heir beware.' I look at Harry in horror. I know he could not have wrote it but it seems suspicious that the 3 of them were here before anyone else.
"He killed my cat!" Filch screams at Albus. I look over and sure enough Mrs. Norris was hanging by her tail upon a lamp post. "He did it! He needs to be punished!" Filch screams again pointing at Harry. "She is not dead, Argus. She is Petrified." Albus said in a low solemn voice. "Ah! Yes ofcourse I knew that. Too bad I wasn't here, I know just the counter spell." Lockhart boasted but we all ignored him. "Someone needs to be punished!" Filch said once more. "Professor Sprout has mandrakes, we can cure her." I tell him and he spits on the ground in disgust at me. "Enemies of the heir beware? You'll be next mudbloods." I hear Draco say to the other students that arrived soon after we did. I roll my eyes and take a mental note to talk to him about it. "Everyone back to your common rooms. Except you three." Albus eyes the three friends. The students leave and Albus speaks again, "it is curious how you three happen to be in the middle of this predicament." "Sir, it's not what it seems. We came to find Harry because he wasn't at dinner." Hermoine says. "And why were you not at dinner, Harry?" Albus asks calmly. "That would be my fault headmaster. Young Harry was helping me go through my fan mail." Lockhart speaks up and Harry nods. "Then Harry said... he said.." Hermoine begins again but couldn't find her words. "That I wasn't hungry. So we were going back to our common room." Harry finished Hermoines thoughts. "Sir, if I may. Perhaps, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Severus tells Albus and the three friends looked at eachother in disbelief that Severus would actually speak up for them. "Very well... you three go back to your common area and we will clean this up. Good night." Albus tells them and they turn around and make their way to the Gryffindor tower.
"Argus, it is late.. please clean this in the morning. Professors, please let's continue on to our meeting." Albus tells us and we nod and we continue in hushed silence to Albuss office.

"What exactly is the Chamber of Secrets, and who would have wrote that on the wall?" I ask the other professors when we sit down at the meeting table. The professors looked at one another then at Albus. "To the students knowledge, if they have any knowledge at all about it, it is an urban legend within our castle that Salazar Slytherin built a secret chamber that held a beast... Though it has never been found through decades of searching  this legend happens to be very real and we must be on full alert, in case this was more than just a prank. Though I am not sure exactly how it could have been opened, since it was opened more than 60 years ago." Albus informed me and the other professors. I take Severuss hand in horror. A beast among the castle walls? "If the students ask about it, what should we say? How did it stop last time?" I ask the Headmaster. "The students, curious as they are will surely ask. We shall tell them the legend and nothing more. There is no need to cause alarm this early.... Last time stopped because they believe the caught the culprit, however I know it was a set up." He explains and I nod my head. We continue our meeting about how the students are doing in each house. " Severus, would you stay a moment?" Albus asked Severus as we were all leaving. "Ofcourse." Severus kissed my cheek and I left the room as they began to converse.

"Did you know about the Chamber?" I ask him as we climb into bed for the night "I knew of it yes, but I never knew details of what happened all those years ago, until Albus told me that Voldemort was the one that opened the Chamber. He was a student and got the blame put on Hagrid, because Hagrid had been hiding a creature. Which I have to say, is not unlike Hagrid." Severus informed me. " Wait, Hagrid and Voldemort went to school together? Wow, that is bloody insane." I say as I cuddle into Severuss arms and chest. "He believes somehow Voldemort is behind this. However, I am not sure how." I could tell the gears in his head were spinning but they were coming up short of an answer. "Well, if it is then we will take care of it. We got this." I nuzzle my face into his chest hair and yarn. "Good night, Alexandria." He kisses the top of my head and we both fall asleep. 

"I do hope Gryffindor wins!" Hermoine boasts as we climb atop the raised stands to watch the first game of the year. Gryffindor against Slytherin. This year will be interesting since Draco joined the team as the new seeker. I also caught a glimpse at the Slytherins new broomsticks. It will be tough to compete against the new faster model. "And they are off! Gryffindor Beater Fred or George- can't tell which-hit the bludger right into Marcus FInch. What a nasty blow!" Lee Jordan annouces the game. I could see the quaffle going back and forth between teams. The bludger was being beaten from the twins back to the slytherins. The snitch was not to be found. Harry and Draco both sat atop of the game watching. The game went on and eventually the score was 60-0 Slytherin. "This doesn't look good unless Harry catches the snitch." I tell Hermoine and Ron. Severus was on another set of bleacher with Lucious Malfoy, who had come to see Draco play. "He'll catch it. He's the best seeker!" Ron boasts about his friend. When I turned my attention back to Harry, he and Draco were very quickly through the air. "Look! Harry must have spotted the snitch!" Hermoine points. I continue to watch as they chase the snitch through the under part of the bleachers, but something was off. A bludger was focused on their tail end. "Why is the bludger following them, Hagrid, have you ever seen that happen?" I continue to watch as they make their way around the arena barely infront of the bludger, Draco leading inches infront of Harry. "That bludger is jinxed! That's cheating!" Hagrid yells but noone but the surrounding students could hear him over the screams of the bleachers across the arena from us. Draco and Harry both flew inches about the students, the bludger following. "I'll stop it!" Ron says and he pulls out his broken wand. "No! It's too risky. Even with a proper wand, you could hit Harry." Hermoine tells him and he reluctantly puts his wand back in his cloak pocket. Suddenly, I see Harry get hit with the bludger right in his arm but Harry keeps on flying. He reaches out but instantly falls and hits the ground.He raises his arm that wasn't hit and reveals the golden snitch. "Harry Potter has caught the snitch! 150 points to Gryffindor and they win the game!" Lee Jordan boasts through the microphone.  "Come on! Let's go check on him." I tell Hagrid, Ron and Hermoine.  When we get to the field I notice Draco is down as well, moaning in pain. "Harry are you alright?" I ask him as we approach him. "I-I think my arm is broken." He groans as he sits up. By this time the other professors have also walked onto the field. "Ah! I know just the spell to fix that, Harry!" Lockhart gleams and we all look in horror towards Harry. "No- Not you." Harry tells him but Gilderoy doesn't take the hint. "It'll just take a second and don't you worry it won't hurt a bit. "Brackium Emendo!" He flicked his wand towards Harry's broken arm. "Very well that should have done it." Gilderoy took Harry's arm and it flopped around like a limp noodle. "Ah yes.. That can happen from time to time. Atleast now it's not broken and the pain is gone." He bends harry's hand back and folds it onto his arm. "Not broken?! There's no bones left!" Hagrid yelled at Lockhart. We take Harry to Madame Pomfrey. "He should have been brought straight to me! Broken bones I can mend in a moments time but regrowing them! That's nasty business." Madame Pomfrey says as shes pouring a liquid into a glass. "You will be able to, right?" Harry asks her. She laughs, "Ofcourse I'll be able to. But you are in for a long not Mr. Potter." She hands him the drink and he takes it. He takes a sip and instantly spits it out onto us. I instinctively brush the liquid off of me. "What did you expect, pumpkin juice? Go on drink up!" She tells him. 

"How is Potter?" Severus asks me. We are in his class grading tests; I am sitting on top of one of the students desk and he is sitting down at his own. "I checked on him about an hour ago and he seemed to be doing alright. I think the bones in his fingers have regrown but that's about all." I inform him. "The dimwit Lockhart needs to resign. He doesn't know what the hell his is doing." Severus says as he writes a big giant zero on the paper he was going over. "I agree. Honestly, I am not sure how he has defeated anything when he can't even do a simple spell." I agree with him as I scoot myself off of the desk and hand him the finished graded papers. "I am going to check on Harry and then make my way to our room." I tell him as I walk around his desk to give him a kiss. "I love you, forever." I whisper right before I kiss him. "I love you, always." He says to me and I leave the room. 

"Colin? What are you doing? Why aren't you in your common room?" I ask Colin as I run into him next to the library. "Oh sorry Professor, I just really wanted to get a picture of Nearly Headless Nick! He said to meet him next to the library." Colin tells me. Colin Creevey is a first year and he is a muggle born, always going around taking muggle pictures of everything around the castle. He especially loved Harry. "Okay then, I will stay with you so you don't get into trouble." I wink at him and he thanks me. "I'm ready for my glamour shot!" Nearly Headless Nick comes floating through the library doors. Colin readies his camera and I look at Nick but I see something behind him. It looks like a giant....

Everything goes blank.
