CHAPTER 2

DISCOVERY AND BETRAYAL

In The Room Of Requirement

After having left the headmaster's office Harry had gone to the requirement room and asked for a room where he could vent out his anger, he was provided with immobile statues and Harry had proceeded in venting out his anger, pain and sadness by punching and cursing the statues until he had fallen down exhausted knowing it was past curfew he had chosen to sleep in the room of requirement also to avoid questions from his dorm mates and house mates.

The next morning found Harry waking up at eight in the morning he was surprised to find that while he was thinking of taking a shower the room had provided him without saying it out aloud. After taking the shower he found some clean pair of clothes on the bed wearing them he quickly got out of the room and decided to visit Ron, Hermione and Ginny who were still in the hospital. On the way to the medical room he passed the girls toilet taking a look inside he saw the entrance to the chamber of secret without thinking properly he opened it and took a hazard guess and hissed [ stairs] he was surprised to see a set of stairs appearing and going down the tunnel hissing for the opened chamber to close he quickly climbed down the stairs.

When he reached in the tunnel he was not surprised to see the tunnel still collapsed and going to the other side was difficult. After casting multiple Evanesco and Reparo the tunnel was repaired and he could move freely hissing [open] for the door to the main chamber he stepped inside only to be greeted with the strong rotten smell of the 60 feet basilik after few cleaning charms he could breathe freely without gagging because of the smell.

Moving forward past the basilik he went until he stopped in front of the entrance where the basilik had come out hissing [speak to me slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four] the stone face of slytherin mouth started opening up and revealing the entrance where the basilik had once come out. Looking at the entrance by the mouth he deduced that there had to be an entrance where slytherin himself could go in and probably had his own chambers. Moving to the pillars in the chamber he started looking if there was a secret lever that could open the entrance to the slytherin quarters, while examining the first pillar in front of the slytherin's face he noticed a small wire pulling it opened a part of a wall right beside slytherin's face moving closer to the opening left by the moved wall he saw a metallic gold with words written in parseltongue [those with the gift of the snake may enter].Hissing [open] the door opened and he walked inside without moving to far he found a room on his left hand side opening the door he was shocked to find a room with shelves that dozens and dozens of books speaking to himself he said " Hermione would go mad seeing these many books" remembering that he had to go and visit his friends taking a quick look at the nearest shelf he found books with titles 'Introduction to Dark Arts', 'Protecting Ones Mind', 'Battle Magic'. Looking at the last book he quickly left the chambers vowing to come back later.

In The Great Hall

Moments after exiting the chambers found Harry sitting in the great hall feeling uncomfortable under everyone's whispers and stares grabbing a piece of toast he whispered to Neville goodbye and went on the way to hospital.

Daphne's POV

After waking up early at eight Daphne and Tracy were sitting and waiting patiently for the Daily Prophet to arrive by half past eight newspapers had arrived and there were whispers everywhere the headline on the Daily Prophet read YOU-KNOW-WHO-SEEN AT THE MINISTRY by Rita Skeeter. And there was a picture of Harry standing behind Dumbledore. Before they could read the story they saw Harry come to the great hall sit for a couple of minutes before grabbing a toast and whisper something to Neville and leave the great hall.

Returning her concentration on the news paper she perused through it quickly before passing it to Tracy. "They did not tell us why exactly they went there for, that The Dark Lord had to show up at the ministry!" she huffed angrily. "Well you could just ask the Gryffindor golden boy why they went" Tracy answered her while her gaze locked in the paper. "Easy for you to say that." Daphne muttered under her breath as she thought where Harry had disappeared to from the great hall.

Harry's POV

After leaving the great hall he went to the Gryffindor common room and went straight to his dorm and took out the marauder's map he located his best friends still in the hospital wing under madam Pomfrey's scrutiny. Rolling up the map he put it inside his robes together with his invisibility cloak he left the dorm quickly and out of the Gryffindor common room before he could be stopped by anybody.

As he neared the he neared the hospital wing he could he muffled sounds coming through the door from inside the hospital. Thinking that his friends were up and were talking to each other he reached for the door knob and as he twisted it to open the door the voices were carried to him clearly he froze in shock and disbelief as he heard what the voices inside were talking about.

"I can't believe we went to the DOM to rescue that mutt!" Ron voice was carried out clearly through out the room.

"Really Ronald you have to remember that Dumbledore specifically asked us to keep an eye on Potter no matter happens and we are to report to him on what he does." Harry's eyes bulged a little at hearing that his best friends we selling him out to Dumbledore wondering for how long they have been doing that Ron spoke again "But Hermione we have been reporting to Dumbledore since first year why don't we for now take a break and ask Professor Dumbledore to go to Hogsmade for a date me and you?"

"You know you can not do that Ron we have to make Harry tell us what he feels, what he plans to do and all his secrets, it shouldn't be too hard since he has been doing that since his first year while we get paid nicely and also get free access to the books in the restricted area." Ginny answered Ron with a wild gleam in her eyes.

"So Hermione do you think you could brew a love potion so that we could feed Potter that way I can be with him and he could tell us all his secrets easily?" Ginny continued while looking at Hermione who had sat herself in Ron's lap.

Looking thoughtful for a minute she answered I suppose but we could just Dumbledore to provide us with one which would be much easier and better than the one we will make." "I suppose we could that." Ginny replied while twirling with her hair.

After hearing that conversation rage consumed Harry together with betrayal at he had just learned feeling completely alone Harry closed the door softly and sunk to the nearby wall crying softly venting out his anger in the process. After several minutes Harry pulled himself together and cleaned himself and then he looked towards the door and decided to play them at their own game he won't let them know that he knew they were spying on him for Dumbledore he was going to remain clueless in front of them and Dumbledore while he prepared his plans for his training.

Gathering up determination and plastered a fake sad smile on his face he strode to the door and knocked after hearing some movement probably Granger going back to her bed he pushed the door open and strode in.
