Royals (Draco Malfoy x Reader)

Chapter 24

The Chamber.

Lockheart walks ahead of the trio their wands pointed at him and they entered Myrtle's bathroom she floated above them "oh hello there.. what do you want!" Myrtle smiles flirtatiously at Harry "To ask you how you died." He replied and Myrtle looked extremely flattered she smiled "Oooooh, it was dreadful. It happened right here. In this very cubicle. I'd hidden because OliveHornby was teasing me about my glasses. I was crying, and then I heard somebody come in." she explained, "who was it?" (name) questioned her voice quiet afraid that she would make Ron even angrier if she messed up. "I don't know! I was distraught! But they said something funny. A kind of made-up language. And I realized it was a boy speaking. So I unlocked the door, to tell him to go away, and... I died." Myrtle finished her story and they all nodded "Just like that? How?" Harry pressed for more information. "No idea. I just remember seeing a pair of great big yellow eyes. Over there..."  Myrtle points to the bank of sinks. Harry, (Name) and Ron hurry over, examining the pipes below, the tile above, then... she sees it: etched on one of the copper taps is a tiny snake. "this is it! this is the entrance to the chamber of secrets" she gasped out Ron ignored her and turned to harry "Say something! say something in Parseltongue!" Ron demanded and Harry nodded "open up" he muttered in English he looked at (name) who tried instead "open up" she hissed and so it did,  The circular group of sinks open and a large, pipe is revealed."Excellent! Excellent! Good work.Well then. I'll just be going. There's no need for me..." Lockheart inched towards the door and (Name) stood quickly, "Oh, yes there is. You first" she points her wand from the man to the hole and he sighed "what good will that does!" he cried out, "A bloody lot of good if it's two-hundred-foot drop onto jagged rocks." Ron hissed at the man who nodded somberly. Lockhart steps grimly to the dark, gaping hole. Ron gives him a shove and he topples headfirst and out of sight. They wait. Finally... his voice rings out "it's rather filthy down here!" "All right. Let's go."

Myrtle stops harry "Oh, Harry... if you die down there, you're welcome to share my toilet." she smiled winking at him "Thanks Myrtle" and with that, he jumped through the hole seconds later Ron does the same "Bye-Bye Myrtle!" (Name) called out jumping behind Ron. The trio slide wicked fast in a vertical plummet, catching glimpses of smaller pipes branching off in all directions. They twist and turn until the pipe begins to level out and dumps them on the damp floor of a smelly tunnel. They stand and see Lockhart staring miserably at the muck dripping from his robes. Harry takes a torch from the wall, and hands one to (Name) they poise their wands. "Lumos!" him and (Name) spoke the torches lighting up. "Remember. Any sign of movement, close your eyes straight away." Harry calls out. (Name) leads the way down the tunnel. crunch! They look down: a rat's skull. All around them, the ground is littered with tiny skeletons. Ron squints and he sees something huge and curved lying ahead. When he speaks, his voice is hollow with dread "What's that? Up ahead?" "That looks like a... snake!" Terrified, Lockhart quickly squeezes his eyes shut. "Maybe it's asleep." (Name) suggested and Ron draws his wand as they approach the large lump, squinting. Harry shines his light, revealing a gigantic coil of an empty skin, snakeskin. "Bloody hell. Whatever shed this must be twenty feet long. Or more." Ron's eyes widened they turn to look at Lockheart who was now passed out on the floor "Heart of a Lion he has!" (Name) laughed sarcastically and Ron kneels by him, when Lockhart's eyes fly open and, as quick as a fox... he snatches Ron's wand and scrambles to his feet.

"The adventure ends here! But don't fret. The world will know our story. How I was too late to save the girl. How you three tragically lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body. I'll even bind a limited edition with this snakeskin. Say goodbye to your memories." Lockheart raised Ron's wand "Obliterate!" Ron's wand explodes like a small bomb, blasting Lockhart off his feet and spitting great jets of fire into the rock above. As ruble rains down upon them, Ron leaps one way and Harry the other grabbing (Name)'s wrist and dragging her with him. Harry had covered (name)'s body with his own, he sits up and squints through the settling dust he helps the girl to her feet. A solid wall of broken walls seals the tunnel between Harry (name) and Ron.
