The Killing Curse!

Chapter 10-The Chamber of Secrets....

The next chapter in my story, this should be a good one.

------------------------------------------------------------

After being escorted back to our rooms and falling asleep for the night we soon found oursleves back in the same routine as before, wake up, shower,brush teeth, get dressed in our robes and head down for breakfast before the busy day of lessons we had. The first lesson that we had of the day was Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall,we was currently waiting on her to arrive so we was all sitting there chatting away. "Could I have your attention please, right now today we will be transfromings animals into water Goblets, such as so."Professor McGonagall said to us then she turned to a bird tapped it 3 times and said Vera Verto, the bird went from a bird to a goblets in seconds, she asks for a volunteer on who to go first demonstraiting this for the class. She makes her way down the middle aisle, when she stops infront of Ron, oh god he still hasn't fixed his wand so this isnt going to be fun, he picks up his wand points it at scabbers and sayd Veta Verto but the spell doesn't fully work and he produces a goblet with a rats tail and fur, the whole class laughs. Hermione places her hand up as if she has a question to ask, "Yes, Miss Granger?" Professor asks, "Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the chamber of secrets?" she looks around the class before agreeing to talk about it, I think it will be a good idea for us to all be aware of what this so called chamber is for our safety now that it has been opened. "Very well. Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago, by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Now three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. One did not" Ron Replied "three guesses who" Professor continued "Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept within all magic families. In other words, pure bloods. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now according to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Though shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The heir alone would be able to open the chamber and unleash the horror within, and by so doing, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic". I questioned "muggle-borns?" to which was replied to with "well naturally the school has been searched many times. No such chamber has been found".Hermione said as soon as her back was turned, "Professor, what exactly does legend says lies within the chamber?","the chamber is said to hold only something the heir of Slytherin can control, it is said told hold a monster" Class continued as normally planned with us trying to turn animals into goblets, soon lesson was over, the rest of the day went by pretty quickly and soon it was time for the dueling club with Professor Lockhart along with the help from Professor Snape, we was apparently learning disarming charms for duels today so this should be great, defiantly won't end in disaster. We was all stood round a long platformed table thing, waiting for the lesson to start.

Professor Lockhart walks into the room and we all gather round the table thing indicating the lesson was about to start.He walks on the table and babling on about how Dumbledore gave him permission to do this club due to recent events. He threw his cloak into the crowd and a few older year girls went wild I don't see why he isn't anthing but a babbling idiot at this point i'd rather spend time alone with Draco. Professor Snape had now joined Lockhart on the table, had thier wands at the ready took a few spaces away from each other tunred and Snape got a spell in first which was Expelliarmus that sent Lockhart flying down the table.Professor Lockhart stood up and claimed that he knew that was the spell he was going to use. He is so full of himself, I don't get why people find him attractive. Professor Snape questioned Lockharts teaching methods and this didn't sit well with him.I only joined this club 1 because everyone else wanted to come and 2 I wanted to learn how to defend myslef against spells."an excellent suggestion Professor, how about a volunteer pairing, Potter, Weasley, how about you?" They both looked so excited but was soon shut down by Snape saying "Weasley's wand causes devistaion with the simplist spells and will be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox, might I suggest someone from my own house, Malfoy Perhaps?"He turns around and points at Malfoy who jumps on the table with ease walking towards Harry with his wand already out. They did the same formalities as Lockhart and Snape wands at the ready waiting to cast the disarming spell and of course Malfoy cheated by going early on the count of 2 knocking Harry flying, he got straight back up and casted a spell back at Draco causing him to also go flying. Snape grabbed him by his robes yanking him up and facing him back to Harry,he casted another charm but this time a snake appeared out the end of his wand and slithered its way slowly towards Harry hissing along the way, all of us around the table took a step back trying to avoid the snake. Snape walked forwards telling Harry that he'll get rid of the snake for him but Lockhart claimed that he coukd do it, this really isn't the time for a whose is bigger contest.He casted a spell that sent the snake flying and hissing into the air,it lamded back down with a thud, but didn't die or dissapear. Everything went quite until Harry started walking towards the snake making funny unaudible noises looking straight atthe snake who then turned to look straight at a Hufflepuff who was standing next to us, looking like it was about to attack, Harry continued to make these weird noises when the snake looked at Harry when Snape made the snake burst into flames. Harry certainly had a bit of explaining to do that's for sure. Classed was quickly dismissed and we made our way back to the common rooms, as soon as we arrived back in the room, Ron stopped Harry "you're a Parsel mouth?". He looked at Ron confused, "what?" Hermione Replied,"you can talk to snakes" Harry said like it was something everyone should know "yeah I know, I mean I accidently set a pyton on my cousin Dudley at a zoo once, once, but so what I bet loads of people here can do it" Regans stopped him by saying "actually no,it's not a very common  gift to have Harry, this is bad" Harry responded, "what's bad,if I hadn't of told the snake not to attack Justin" "oh thas what you was saying?" Ron sounded reliefed, "what do you mean you was there. you heard me " I butted in this time "no I heard you speak Parseltongue,snake language". Harry asked back really confused with whats going on "I spoke another language,but I didn't realise, how do I speak a language with out knowing I can?". Hermione answered his question " I don't know Harry but it sounded like you was egging the snake on or something,Harry listen to me, there is a reason that someone in the Slytherin house is a serpant, Salazar Slytherin was a parsel mouth, he could talk to snakes too" Ron followed "exactly the whole school is going to think you're his great great great grandson or something." Harry retorted "but I'm not, I can't be" He looked at Hermione "he lived over 1000 years ago for all we know you could be" with all this being said we made our way to a study session we had for an upcoming test we had.

We was currently in a study session for a class when Haryy could feel everyone staring at him even those in his house. " i'll see you back in the common room" He stood up, closed his book and started to walk out of the class, he walked passed the table where Justin and fellow Hufflepuff sat making his way outside, I decided to follow him just to make sure that he was ok and I had finished all the studying  I could handle for one day. We walked out the class when all the sudden Harry stopped dead in his tracks looking dead ahead of him, I knew he could hear wierd noises again, he walked up against the wall walking along it until he stopped and continued walking down the corridor until we came across an even more dead Nearly Headless Nick and a Still and pale Justin on the floor. Harry and I walked up to the body and knelt down either side of him. Harry went to touch his hand when again was caught at the wrong time by Mr Filtch, I coughed letting Harry know we had company. "caught in the act this time, I will have you out in no time mark my words boy"Mr Filch walked away before we had the chance to explain to him. Harry stoof up after seeing a line of spiders leading from the body up out the window, he stood there studying the wall whne Mr Filch returned with Professor McGonagall,she exclaimed as soon as she saw the sight infront of her and ran striaght towards Justin, she looked between Harry and Justin before Harry turned around and said "Professor, I can explain, It wasn't me." She smply said "I'm sorry it's out of my hands" with that we was both sent to Professor Dumbeldore office, don't really know why i'm going too but I need to back Harry up on this one. Professor McGonagall lead us towards the staircase that lead to Dumbledores's office.We stood at the bottom, "Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for you both" she told us, She then said the words "SherbertLemon" all the sudden the stairs started to appear and we was soon in his office. When we arrived He was no where to be seen, we did however see the sorting hat which Harry just stared at it when all the sudden it spoke up " Bee in your bonnet Potter?" Harry replied with "I was just wondering if you put me in the right house?" the hat responded with "yes you was very difficult to place, but I stand by what I said last year, you would of fit right into Slytherin" "no your wrong" Harry said back. We left the coversation there and walked further in to Dubledores office to see if we could find him but only came across what I know to be a pheonix, a beautiful one at that. We walked even closer to it, to study it beauty when all the sudden it bursted into flame and ashes, the dry voice of Dumbledore saying  "Harry, Lindsey" brought us out of our trance to look at him, "Professor, your bird, there was nothing I could do it,he just caught fire" Harry explained, " and about time too , he has been look awful for days, shame you had to see him on a burning day, Fawkes is a Pheonix, they burst into flames when they are ready to die and reborn from the ashes" he looked into the ashes to see the rebirth of another beautiful Pheonix. I love these creatures.We suddenly heard a bang and Hagrid came charging into Dumbledores office " Professor Dumbleodre sir, wait listen, it was Harry or Lindsey Sir, I'd be prepared to take the blame sir." Hagrid claimed. Long story short Dumbledore didn't think either of us where to blame and sent us back to our rooms where we explained exactly what had happened. Why do we seem to attrack all the drama. I came here to learn Magic and spells not solve crimes. All exciting at the end of the day though......
