Lily smiled, she was finally going back to the chamber! She had been there once with her brothers and dad, when they had begged for four solid hours when she was eleven. Harry had taken them down there, much to the dismay of Ginny, and told them the stories. What happened when he was twelve, and then the story of Ron and Hermione, and how they had gotten together during the final battle. That particular story was met with fake gagging and begging to stop talking.
But even with her father's horror stories of the chamber, and it's obviously evil past, Lily couldn't help but feel attracted to it. She felt drawn, almost pulled towards it throughout her time at Hogwarts. She couldn't describe it, and when she tried to, the people she would tell would look at her as if she were crazy. But she knew she wasn't, there was something about that damn chamber that drew her in.
And this is why, sixteen year old Lily Luna Potter, future captain of the Quidditch team, and Gryffindor prefect, is currently breaking every school rule imaginable and standing in front of the entrance to the chamber of secrets. She smiled again. Hissed sentences left her mouth as she entranced the door to open.
She guessed her parseltongue was one of the reasons why she was so attracted to the chamber. She inherited it from her father, and only her and Harry knew about it. This is because Harry thought that if his wife knew their daughter was a parseltongue, she would have a heart attack.
The giant metal snakes began to move and she stepped back to admire the beauty of it.
The door swung open with a loud creak and Lily cringed slightly at the sound. Once the door was completely open, she stepped inside.
She walked past the scattered bones, and the remains of the basilisk's last shed skin. She kept walking, until she saw the actual basilisk, just how she remembered it. On its back, just bone remaining of the magnificent creature, but yet still so impressive.
She looked up, to the giant statue of the man with snakes for his beard, then back down the path she had just come, with dozens of giant snake heads either side of it, trailing up to where she now stood. She then looked straight down at her feet, and saw something red. Dried blood. She guessed from one of her parents when they had been here over thirty years ago. That little stain could prove everything, how brave her father really was at twelve, and what Lily and her brothers have to live up to.
She kept smiling though, because she felt at home, she felt safe. All the way down in this God forsaken chamber, she felt safe.
Suddenly, there were crashes, and screams, and the once silent chamber was filled with the sound of people. She hoped no one had followed her or discovered it by accident. Lily didn't want this, this was her place, her special place, where she felt at home, no one could ruin that, and she wouldn't let them.
She got her wand out of her pocket and whipped round, to face the intruders. But what she saw shocked her so much, she dropped her wand, and fainted. Classy.
