The secret Malfoy

Petrified

It seemed weird to me that no Slytherin's had been petrified and yet people from every other house had been. Harry and Draco had been told to duel against each other only using disarming spells which obviously they didn't listen to. It ended with Harry talking parseltongue to a snake that my idiot of a brother decided to cast. People were then thinking he was the heir of Slytherin. Ginny was also acting quite weird saying that she had to be somewhere for a certain time and the leaving about 10 minutes before.

I decided today was the day that I was going to follow Ginny to see what she was really up to. So when she said she needed to be somewhere then I hid around the corner as she walked out of charms. She looked shifty. I silently walked through the halls after her my curiosity growing more and more with every turn. Soon I realised she was going towards the girls bathroom which seemed odd. She also seemed upset about something and agitated. She kept speeding up and occasionally glancing behind her to see if anyone was there so I was finding it quite hard to not be seen.

She turned off into the girls bathroom so I stopped following her thinking it was best to give her some space even though she was acting different. I headed to lunch trying to work out what was wrong with her but I got no where. I went and sat next to Charlotte and started eating. As I was eating I felt a quick sharp pain at the back of my head. I spun around to see who it was and I saw it was Draco who had flicked me. I slapped his arm quickly and went back to eating. Then I realised Amelia wasn't there "Wait." Holly and Charlotte looked at me confused. "Where's Amelia?" "Oh she decided to do some extra charms work and finish off her essay." Said Holly. I let out a small sigh of relief that she hadn't been petrified.

At lunch Harry kept on staring at me and Draco. It was getting quite annoying in all honesty. He thought we were the heirs of Slytherin when neither of us could speak parseltongue when he could. So for all we knew it could even have been him.

I was sitting in the common room doing homework for potions when Draco, Crabbe and Goyle came into the room only Crabbe and Goyle were acting weird. More weird than usual. Everyone was acting weird these days. I decided to ignore it and go give Uncle Sev the homework because I had finished and I couldn't be bothered to give it in at the lesson. On my way Harry and Ron ran past me out of breath. It looked like they had robes that were far too big for them as i gave them a funny look as they rounded the corner. It looked like they had just come from the direction of the Slytherin common room but they wouldn't have been down there. I rolled my eyes and carried on. 

When I knocked on the door he only opened it a small amount until he saw it was me then invited me into his office so I wouldn't get into trouble by any other teachers or prefects that were walking around. He didn't look impressed that I was still awake and walking around the castle but I didn't care in all honesty. He told me to go back to my dorm and to be quick so I set off back.

I saw my shoe lace had come undone so I went to tie it again but I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It looked slightly like the end of a snake tail but I could have been mistaken because it was only a quick glimpse and it was only in the corner of my eye. But from what I saw whatever it was it went towards the girls bathroom just like Ginny did earlier. I decided to go but cautious of what I was doing and any teachers that were around me. As I got there I couldn't see anything.

I looked around for a bit and decided that I was going insane. Even though it was close to midnight I felt wide awake, like it was the middle of the day. Then I heard weird sounds coming from one of the stalls. I stood still not really daring to move. Suddenly Myrtle came from where the weird noise was and I rolled my eyes not surprised. She saw me and stopped. "Why are you here so late?" She said whilst pouting. "What's it to you?" She just shrugged and floated away. 

I was about to walk out of the girls bathroom but I heard something strange. It was like a quiet whispering in another language. As it carried on I realised it was parseltongue but i didn't know what it was saying. The whispering started to get louder and louder so I decided to walk towards where it was coming from which turned out to be towards the sinks. It went quiet but there was a small pattern on one of the taps. I looked closer but had to use lumos to be able to see clearer. It was a snake. I began to look around the other taps to see if there was a lion, badger or a raven but there wasn't any. Many questions were spinning around in my head. Why was there only a snake on the tap if it was to represent the four houses? Why was there just one snake on that one tap? Then the thought of the blood on the wall came into my head. "The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir beware." The chamber of secrets. That's what this was. This must have been the place where whatever petrifies people got let out. 

After a few minutes I worked out that the snake was moving around in the pipes because that is the only way that it would be able to get around without being seen. I looked at the sink one last time trying to make sure I had worked everything I needed to know out ready to tell Draco and see what he thought about it. I glanced into the mirror and regretted it immediately. All I saw was a pair of big yellow eyes staring back at my reflection.
