Chapter 9:

"We snuck out again and headed in to the forest following the trail of spiders, we took fang with us but that dogs a coward." Ron rolled his eyes.

"We were going deeper and deeper in to the forest when we suddenly went off the path."

"Oh Merlin," Remus groaned as Sirius shook his head.

"The trees were getting thicker and so were the spiders." Remus went pale,

"He sent you in their nest." Remus breathed.

"What are you talking about Mooney?" Remus just shook his head.

"We spoke to Aragog and he told us that it wasn't Hagrid and told us a girl died in a bathroom the first time."

"Ron noticed the spiders closing in and went in to a panic so we decided to leave only Aragog had a different idea; he said he wasn't going to deny his children live flesh."

"No no no no." Remus moaned.

"Acromantula, Hagrid sent you in to an acromantula's nest." Sirius shouted.

"We ran but they were coming from all directions until they formed a ring around up; there was no escape." Sirius, Remus and Hermione were all white and wide eyed.

"H-how did you get out?" The pair grinned making the others raise their eyebrows.

"My dad's car came and rescued us."

"WHAT!?"

"Yeah, it came trundling out of no-where, bashed the spiders and flung open its doors. We didn't wait we dove in and it got us out of there." Harry said with a smirk.

"You cannot be serious."

"No he's my godfather." Harry received a slap from Hermione.

"That has to be the luckiest thing that could have happened; ever."

"We didn't learn much only it wasn't Hagrid and it was only when I was led in bed did I realise the other thing Aragog said."

"What was that?"

"He told us that the girl died in a bathroom." They all looked confused.

"What if she never left?" a look of comprehension crossed all three faces.

"Moaning Myrtle,"

"We wanted to go and speak to her but with the new security it was impossible until Harry did something truly amazing." Ron grinned at his friend.

"Oh?"

"It was Lockhart's turn to take us to lesson but I talked him out of it so we managed to slip away." Harry told them.

"We ran in to McGonagall but Harry did some more quick thinking and said we were going to see Hermione. We took a detour to the hospital wing when Harry spotted something in Mione's hand." Hermione gasped.

"You did find it."

"Yeah and without it we wouldn't have had a clue."

"What was it?"

"It was a library page on the Basilisk." Silence met that statement.

"It wasn't," Remus moaned, "Merlin please tell me it wasn't."

"That was hiding in a school and it wasn't found." Sirius cried.

"Well obviously we put it together that it was the monster in the chamber but then there was an announcement saying we had to go to our common rooms, we ran to the staff room to tell them what we had found but it was empty so we hid in the old wardrobe." Ron said swallowing hard.

"McGonagall came in with the rest of the staff; there had been another attack. Someone had been taken in to the chamber itself: her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever."

"Who was it?" Siri breathed afraid to ask.

"Ginny," Ron answered hoarsely Harry and Hermione gripped the red heads arms in support.

"The teachers were going to send Lockhart down so we went to tell him what we knew but we found him packing, I disarmed him and took him to Myrtles bathroom and asked the girl how she died."

"I bet she took well to that." Sirius muttered.

"Actually she was delighted and that's how we found the entrance, it's in the bathroom."

"The entrance of the chamber of secrets is in a girl's bathroom." Remus said in disbelief temporarily forgetting what was in the chamber.

"Yeah we got in and sent Lockhart in first then followed him down that's when it went wrong." Harry sighed Sirius groaned.

"Lockhart grabbed Ron's wand and tried to obliviate us-"

"That bastard," The animagus yelled Remus eyes widened,

"Ron's wand is broken." He said alarmed the boys nodded scowling.

"Yeah it backfired and the roof caved in separating us." Hermione gasped and the men went pale.

"Let me guess Harry is on the side that goes on." Remus muttered pale Sirius' head snapped round.

"But there's a basilisk in there."

"I know Padfoot."

"I told Ron to clear some of the rock as I went on ahead. There was another door before I entered this massive chamber with statues if snakes everywhere and this giant statue of Salazar Slytherin himself. Ginny was lying at the end so I ran to her and I think I dropped my wand." Everyone groaned.

"Harry why?"

"I wasn't thinking Ginny was practically dead. I was trying to wake her when Tom Riddle walked over and told me how she would wake."

"How is that possible he was just a memory?"

"I still to this day don't know, but I asked him why but he didn't tell me and he had my wand." The group went pale.

"I tried to get Ginny out but he kept talking saying how much he wanted to meet me then he drew his name in the air 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' and rearranged it, it spells 'I am Lord Voldemort'." There was gasped Remus was gripping the arms of the sofa and Sirius was on to a mantra of 'he is alive he's still here'.

"Then he called the Basilisk I shut my eyes and ran, but not before I saw it; it was huge. It nearly hit me twice when Fawkes turned up with the sorting hat, Riddle was taunting me but Fawkes gouged out the snakes eyes so I could see again. I was running I threw on the hat and pulled out the sword of Gryffindor, I turned just as the basilisk reared for a strike. I put all my weight behind it and pushed the sword in to the roof of its mouth." The group cheered but Harry shook his head.

"It bit me." Everyone froze, Remus choked, Hermione gasped, Ron gaped and Sirius started to have a panic attack.

"How are you alive cub?"

"Fawkes cried on me,"

"Of course Phoenix tears have healing powers." Hermione breathed in relief.

"Yeah, I pulled the fang out of my arm and stabbed the diary which destroyed Riddle and woke up Ginny. Fawkes took us back through, we got Ron and Lockhart and went back to Dumbledore's office. Everything was resolved but at the end Malfoy Sr came in and it turned out that Dobby was a Malfoy elf, he was trying to tell me Malfoy gave the diary to Ginny. I took the diary and ran after his, he threw it at the elf who found my hidden sock and was set free. Malfoy tried to kill me but Dobby stopped him. We had a feast at like midnight when Hagrid came back because we cleared his name and Gryffindor one the house cup." Harry finished with a grin. Sirius and Remus were staring at the trio in complete shock.

"I can't be normal for all that to happen."

"Some people have a lot explaining to do."

"This year was just as busy, thinking I have a murder after me. The dementors, Buckbeak, the map, run ins with Snape, finding out my godfather was innocent and finally going back in time to save him from having his soul sucked out and proving his innocence."

"Oh Merlin, you're never going to have a quiet year are you." The trio shared a look.

"I doubt it." They said,

Well that's it folks, just a small version of the reactions of Sirius and Remus. I am working on a full scale one which is going to be a 'Reading Harry Potter' fic but this popped in to my head, it's not the best but I hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
