So, I have a couple things to say before we start.

First, shoutout to my good friend Haru-yuki21 from DeviantArt who was so kind to draw my cover pic! It looks awesome! Be sure to go check her out and give her some love.

Second, I hit 500 views this week, and couldn't be more happy! Only seven chapters so far, and we're doing so good! This is the final chapter before the in-story Christmas break, and then I think about three to four more chapters till we hit the end of Chamber of Secrets.


Georgia squeezed herself down the row of seats full of people to an empty seat in between Daphne and Mercedes, who both sat on the Slytherin side of the pitch. It was the first Quidditch match of the year, between rivals Gryffindor and Slytherin, and almost everyone in the school came out to watch, although it was raining. The two girls had taught Georgia all they knew about the game, and now she thinks she's got most of the rules down.

"Hey, Peach. Where were you? The game's about to start." Daphne said.

"Sorry, Peeves kept me. Also, I couldn't find my rain clothes." That was all she needed to say, as they knew Peeves was probably mocking her again.

"It's fine. Don't worry about it. Here, have a Licorice Wand. My mum sent me some goodies this morning." Mercedes smiled, handing her a candy.

"Thanks, Sadie."

"So, this is Malfoy's first game, huh?" Mercedes asked.

"Yeah."

"Seeker, correct?"

"Yes. I'm sure."

"Man, this is going to be a good game. Potter, the Gryffindor seeker, is supposed to be really good." Mercedes said.

"He is. I watched him last year. Plus, he must be good if they put him on the team as a first-year." Daphne stated.

"Maybe I'll go on the team next year, or whenever they have an opening. It'll be fun to do." Georgia thought out loud.

"Maybe. The Slytherin team's pretty competitive, though." Daphne told her.

"Speaking of Slytherin Quidditch players, I heard you're now friends with Malfoy, hey, Georgie?" Sadie teased Georgia.

"Well, yeah-"

"How are things with him going?"

"Good. Doing things friend normally do. Nothing out of the ordinary." Georgia said simply. Mercedes looked a bit disappointed.

"Shut up, you two. The game's starting!" Daphne exclaimed. Georgia watched as the players mounted their broomsticks and Madam Hooch blew the whistle to start the game. The balls were thrown up into the air, and a Gryffindor Chaser took the Quaffle, and flew towards the Slytherin end. She breathed a sigh of relief when the Quaffle was saved. Then, a Slytherin Chaser took the ball and a few second later, scored. Soon, in what seemed like a few seconds, they were up 60-nil.

Her eyes changed focus from the action of the game to Draco, sitting idle on his broom, watching for the Golden Snitch. She saw Potter near him, and the two looked like they were exchanging words. A monet later, a bludger went straight for Potter. He narrowly missed it, but it circled back and tried to hit him again. Again, Harry dodged it, but it did the same thing.

"That's not right…" Daphne said.

"That's so weird. Why would it be doing that?" Mercedes questioned.

"I have no idea, honestly. But even though I want us to win, I can't help but think that that's totally unfair." Daphne thought out loud.

Georgia saw that Gryffindor called a timeout, and the team talking on the ground. Georgia could tell they were thinking what everyone else was. They went back to the field and gameplay resumed. Potter and Draco were still looking for the Snitch, and obviously Draco was insulting him or something, because he didn't even notice the Snitch flying by his ear. Georgia saw the light glimmer, took out her wand, pointed it at her throat, and said "Sonorus". With her voice amplified, she started shouting,

"YOU BLOODY STUPID IDIOT! STOP TALKING AND LOOK BEHIND YOU, YOU DUMB GIT!" Draco looked at where the voice came from, blushed from embarrassment, and looked behind him. He saw the Snitch, and immediately reached from it. It brushed his fingers, but he missed. Him and Potter started racing after it as it flew away, the bludger at Harry's tail again. Georgia viewed as they flew through the rain around the pitch, chasing after the little flying ball.

Although Draco and Potter were neck and neck and had equal chances of catching it, Potter managed to catch the Snitch, winning the game for Gryffindor. Georgia had very little time to be disappointed as the bludger crashed right into Potter's arm.

"Ow! That's got to hurt!" Mercedes winced.

"And to make matters worse for Potter, there's Professor Lockhart…" Daphne sighed.

"Now I really feel sorry for him." Georgia said.

Lockhart went up to Potter, grabbed his arm, cast a spell, and suddenly Potter's arm was floppy.

"Oh my… Did Lockhart just take out the all the bones in his arm?" Mercedes gasped.

"I think so…" Georgia said.

"If I were Potter, I wouldn't let that lunatic near me at all." Daphne said.

Georgia got up, followed by her two friends, and walked down to the pitch to see Draco. She walked out of the stands and met him on the lawn.

"Hey, good game." She smiled at him.

"Yeah, sucks that we didn't win." Draco replied.

"Well, winning isn't everything." She told him.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I was just really nervous. My father's here, and you know how he is." Draco said.

"Oh, he better not see you with me. I take it he hasn't accepted that I'm a Slytherin?" Georgia asked.

"Not at all. He's still complaining about it at home, my mother says."

"How lovely. I better get going, so I'll see you tonight." Georgia said and gave him a quick hug and ran to go meet up with her friends, and they walked back to the castle.

"I think I'll pay a visit to Potter in the hospital wing later. I feel really bad for him." Sadie sighed.

"Yeah, me too. Regrowing a bone can't be a bed of roses." Georgia responded.

"What about you, Daffy?" Mercedes asked the older girl.

"No, my dormmates would kill me if I was spotted within 100 feet of a Gryffindor, especially him." Daphne said.

"That really sucks. I know how nasty Parkinson can be." Mercedes said.

"Yeah. I'll see you girls later, wish Potter well for me." Daphne told them as she walked away from them.

"So, should we go pay a visit?" Mercedes asked Georgia.

"Sure." She replied and the two headed to the hospital wing. When they got there, they found Potter surrounded by his friends and the Gryffindor team, looking like he was in extreme pain. They walked to his bed.

"Potter." They greeted him.

"Freeman, Newton." He responded.

"How are you doing?" Mercedes asked.

"I honestly feel like I'm dying." Harry replied.

"That can't be fun. Here, have some candy." Mercedes said, handing him a package of Cauldron Cakes and a Peppermint Toad.

"Thanks."

"No problem. So, how-"Mercedes started to say, but Madam Pomfrey stormed in and started shooing out visitors, telling them that visiting hours are over. The girls waved goodbye to Harry and walked out and headed to the Great Hall for dinner. As they were eating, Willow ran in, said "You have to see this!" and grabbed the two.

"Summers, what's the big idea?" Georgia asked as she lead them down the castle.

"I was curious about the Chamber of Secrets, so I've been meaning to come down to the library to see what I could find, and today I finally got around to it. You won't believe what I found!"

They ran into the library, and Willow puled a book from a shelf.

"It took me forever to find this book, I heard even Hermione Granger couldn't find it, but when I did, it gave me such important information. Look, here, it says this: The Chamber of Secrets is a myth in which Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of the school and founder of Slytherin house, became very selective over his students and their blood purity, that it spouted an major argument between him and the other founders, resulting in him leaving the school. The myth says that before he left the school he built the Chamber of Secrets deep underground. Only the heir of Slytherin himself could open it and unleash the monster that lies within, to get rid of all of those who's blood purity is not worthy."

"Deep." Mercedes said plainly.

"You don't understand, Sade. Whatever is in that Chamber, is out to kill Muggle-borns." Willow exclaimed.

"So that means…"

"Yes, Sadie. Our Georgia's in grave danger."
