Well, fourth chapter is up now Well, fourth chapter is up now!Minister of Magic

Soon they heard footsteps running down the hallway towards them. Violet looked up from Sirius's shoulder to look at a wide-eyed Professor Dumbledore and a frantic pale Professor McGonagall.

"Oh dear Merlin!" McGonagall whispered horrified. Professor Dumbledore leaned over Filch and pressed his hand to his neck. Dumbledore bowed his head and brought his hand over Filch's face and slowly closed his eyes. He then moved over to Ms Norris and did the same.

"They are indeed dead," Professor Dumbledore said sadly before looking at the message in front of him.

"Minerva, please assemble all students in the great hall and answer no questions until I get there, get another teacher to bring Auror's here to investigate and collect the body" Dumbledore spoke. McGonagall nodded before hurrying out of the room.

Dumbledore conjured up two white cloths and put it over the dead bodies.

Shaking, Violet slowly untangled herself from the others and stood up.

"Sir?" Violet asked hesitantly. Her heart hammered in her chest like a stack of drums. Every single beat seemed to have been exaggerated. Her chest clenched painfully making certain to not glance at Filch and Ms Norris otherwise she might have actually thrown up. Professor Dumbledore looked at Violet first, then the others before bringing his eyes back to Violet again.

"You of all people shouldn't have had to have any more pain" he spoke sadly to her not bothering to fill the others into what he was meaning. Violet looked away, making sure to not look at her friends for reactions.

"Can we please leave, I…I..." Violet trembled glancing back at the body silently trying to tell Dumbledore it was safe… for now. Dumbledore understood and Violet knew Dumbledore would get the portraits to look out for them as well.

"If you know what you are doing then yes, you can make you're way down to the great hall," He said in a subtle way.
Violet nodded knowing he only let them go because he figured something like this had happened before to her and knew it was safe to be wondering.

She quickly grabbed Remus's and James's arms before looking over at Sirius and then quickly walked away from the scene dragging the boys with her.

As soon as they were away from the scene was when they started speaking.

"Bloody hell…" Sirius stated shocked, his face was still pale and sweaty. James nodded keeping a hand on his wand in case the need arises. Remus just walked silently keeping close to Violet but his eyes darted around alert for any sign of anything that could harm them.

"What is the chamber of secrets?" James said trying to gain a little confidence but it didn't work too well. Remus and Sirius shook their heads indicating that they had no idea, but Violet stayed silent. They all looked over to her.

"Violet?" Remus said hesitantly. Violet looked over at Remus, her eyes were puffy red from crying and looked about to start crying again but answered ferociously.

"The Chamber of secret was said to be a Myth. The school has been searched many times but no one could find the entrance so they foolishly thought it didn't exist. That was until around forty years ago it was opened for the first time. A girl had died, a girl that goes of the name Malagasy Myrtle" The boys gasped.

"You mean Moaning Myrtle?" Remus asked with a sinking feeling. Violet nodded looking away, trying to hide her tears.

"It was said…" Violet whimpered. "It was said to be a home to a…monster" She had been about to say a basilisk but thought that a very bad idea. She glanced at the others. Remus was looking even more pale and horrified than before. Sirius looked scared but yet determined and James hand clung onto his want so tightly, it looked like it might snap into two pieces.

They soon entered the great hall in absolute silence only to see the whole school they're looking confused, worried and frightened.

Everyone who wanted to know what was happening soon rushed them upon in hopes that they knew and would tell them but soon felt that was a bad idea.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM US!" Sirius shouted angrily making most people freak out and leave them be. Violets looked around and saw Peter in the corner shaking and pale. She frowned. Maybe he wouldn't turn out a traitor, maybe he would, but regardless she started walking over to him.

"Hey" Violet said softly, for once forgetting about him being traitorous which in Violet's case was very hard. Peter jumped and looked up startled. Violet's eyes widened as she got a good look at him.

Peter was hugging himself, probably trying to look for reassurance. His skin was very pale and clammy with sweat dripping off it. His eyes were wide and looked, as though once he closed them, he would see Filch's dead body, which he probably did.

"Hi" Peter mumbled looking down again. Violet looked away guiltily. Now she understood, she couldn't hold the death of her parents at Peter. He didn't deserve it. Violet then did something she thought wouldn't happen in a century. She put his hand on Peter's shoulder making him jump and twitch.

"It will be all right…" Violet spoke making Peter look up again. "After all, friends look after each other right?" Violet winked at him. Peter's eyes widened almost happily.

"We…Were friends?" Peter asked hopefully. "But I thought you didn't like me" He added his hope in his voice dying away. Violet looked away guiltily.

"I'm sorry, you just look like someone else that I despise, I should have just put my differences aside and talked to you" Violet apologised telling a half-truth. Peter smiled accepting it before bravely hugging her.

"Whatever happens, you will be by my side won't you? As will James, Sirius and Remus?" Peter meekly said afraid the answer would be a no.

Violet's eyes widened as she continued to stare down at Peter. He looked like a scared lost child not knowing what path to take as he stared up at her, his eyes seemed to look into her soul itself.

"Peter, I will always be by side as long as you give me reason not to," Violet said emotionally. That was a fairly safe answer to say. If Peter actually did betray them then she would be free from her promise.

Peter nodded shyly looking back at her with a inch of hope sparkling in his eyes.

"Thankyou" He said. "What happened after I left to fetch Dumbledore?"

Violet's eyes darkened instantly. Riddles diary was probably around with some careless person slowly destroying themselves. But there was no way she could find that diary by herself. That would be impossible to find amongst the hundreds of students! There was only one conclusion she could think off. Ask her friends to help. But would that reveal all her past?

"Violet?" Peter's meek voice brought her back from thinking. It was then she made the decision as she stared at Peter. More than one person's life was at risk and she couldn't condemn them to that fate when she could stop it. She wouldn't be selfish. But she decided that if she couldn't find the diary, she would receive help. Help from whom? Well she would think of that later on.

Violet sighed. "He came, confirmed that Filch and his cat were d-dead, and then we were free to leave." Peter's eyes widened dramatically.

"Y-you mean even with whatever k-killed them, he still let you roam free around the castle?" Peter stumbled on his words gapping at her. Violet winced at her choice of words. She hoped if Peter and herself got closer friends, he wouldn't be an over protective brother.

"Sort of" Violet blandly said. Peter looked at her weirdly before looking down at his hands. Violet internally sighed. Getting him to come out of his shell would take a while.

The great hall door opened and in came Professor Dumbledore, his face grave. He stopped at the front of the room and the crowd quickly silenced.

"I'm afraid that Mr Filch and his cat Ms Norris were killed earlier on today" Dumbledore started making the crowds gasp and a couple of people start crying. Whispers could be heard everywhere. Violet shivered.

"On the 6th floor, next to moaning Myrtles bathing a message was written in blood. It said 'The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir beware'. That corridor is going to be strictly out of bounds. Any person who is caught there will be punished harshly" Violet frowned.

"Oh and would Mr Potter, Mr Black, Mr Lupin, Mr Pettigrew and Ms Connor please come with me" Violet looked over to the Marauders where they seemed to have gotten more pale and sweaty. They probably thought that Dumbledore might suspect they had something to do with the murders, but Violet knew that was not the case.

They reluctantly followed Dumbledore out of the great hall, trying to ignore all the whispers that followed them. Whispers that roamed around the hall wondering if they killed and wrote the message on the wall.

"Hey, it'll be alright" Violet whispered encouragingly which received a couple of slight smiles.

"How can you not be freaked out! If Dumbledore doesn't believe us we could all go to Azkaban!" James whispered back shaking his head shakily. Violet gave him a cheeky smile, but it didn't quite reach up to her eyes. After all, how could anyone smile when they had just seen a dead person?

"Everyone deserves second chances" Even if I've already had mine Violet added on mentally.

"Sherbet lemon" Dumbledore said to the statue that was the entrance to his office.

"Now please tell me what happened," He said gazing over at all of them threw his glasses.

"Honestly we were just walking and stumbled across it" Violet blurted out. She received looks from everyone that clearly said like he is going to believe that! Violet looked down blushing embarrassedly. Of all the times when she could have said something embarrassing it had to be then.

"Hmm, so why weren't you in class?" Dumbledore said, his normal shinning eyes were grave.

Sirius mumbled something looking downwards.

"What was that?" Dumbledore said politely.

"We skipped" Sirius said. Dumbledore's eyes hardened a little but Violet doubt anyone noticed. Before any more could be said, what looked to be the Minister of Magic come storming into the room, but what was worse was that the Minister of Magic was in fact Fudge!

"Albus, I want these five students arrested and awaiting for trial!"

Okay, I no this is a really bad chapter but I was seriously struggling with this one. Also I was wondering if anyone minding that I continued the story…. But in first person view. So it would mostly be in Violet's Pov and maybe a little of the others as well. Review please!
