Chapter 4: Virga enim Serpentis
As Harry slid down the pipe, he realized he had no way to get back up to the surface. The last time he came down there, he was beating up a sixty foot basilisk. No big deal though. He landed on the bottom and was on his feet instead of being sprawled over the skull ridden floor. With much annoyance, he realized he hadn't moved the damn rocks that had caved it.
"Wingaurdium leviosa!" Growled Harry. In approximately 5 minutes all of the accursed boulders had been moved out of the way. Walking quickly to the next door, he opened it saying "open" in parseltongue. The door opened and into the chamber he went.
The chamber looked no different from the last time he had been in the place. With the exception that the basilisk was almost all bone now. He strolled around the large area and deemed it to dark.
"Lights!" Harry yelled in parseltongue. Nothing happened. Feeling quite annoyed he said,
"Let there be light!" And there was light.
"Stupid Slytherin." Harry mumbled to himself. Harry paced around the chamber not knowing what to do. During the said pacing, harry realized that Slytherin wouldn't make a secret chamber and not have any secrets in it. Recalling if he saw any mysterious things from his last trip to the chamber and he recalled only the tunnel in. Which the basilisk had come out from. Rattling his memory for the password to the tunnel, he remembered tom riddle saying speak to me Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four.
Going to the carving of Salazar Slytherin, he exclaimed,
"Speak to me Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts 4."
And the tunnel opened up. Peeking his head to make sure there isn't any scary monsters around the corner, and when he saw none, he climbed into the tunnel.
Walking cautiously in the tunnel he turned the corner and found a brightly lit room. In said room, found many things; a desk, a large book shelf, two paintings, and a pole sticking out of the ground. The people in the paintings were sleeping and he couldn't see their faces. Walking over to the pole in the ground, he realized it was a staff! Staves were only used by the most powerful of wizards. Looking at it curiously, he couldn't recognize would kind of material the staff was made out of, but he know that the gemstone, used as the focus stone, is an emerald. Feeling daring, Harry lifted the staff out of the stand and was blinded by a silver and green light. Opening his eyes, he saw the staff had starting glowing a suspicious silver color, while the focus stone was shining a bright, but still eerie and enchanting, emerald green. As the staff was still in the stand, Harry reached out to grab it again. Then the unthinkable happened.
