They made their way to the bathroom they checked The Marauders Map constantly. Luckily there were very few teachers patrolling the hallways tonight. They got there with no problems. Upon entering the bathroom, they said Hello to Moaning Mertel. Harry opened the chamber, and they went down the slide. Hermonie had to admit. That the slide was really fun. The only thing that was not fun was the landing.
Hermonie had never been in a place quite like this. It was dark and cold. The walls were rough stone. Must have been tunnelled out of solid rock. The floor was littered with thousands of rodent bones. Was this what the basilisk had been eating. The basilisk was meant to be 60 Feet long. Hermonie did not think so. He must have had another food source. She told them everything that she had found out from the book, when they were walking over to the main chamber.
''Dammit!,'' exclaimed Fred
''What is it Fred,'' Said Hermonie.
''We have no brooms. So we have no way to get back up to the castle.
Hermonie was alarmed. But knew she had to hide it. ''Don't worry about it now. We will find a way back up.''
''How are we going to find our way back up Hermonie,'' said Fred.
''We will find a way,'' Hermione repeated. ''There is likely a main entrance to the chamber.''
''What makes you think that,'' said George.
''There has to be steps that take you back up to the castle. How we got down here is the snake entrance. You think Slytherin used the same entrance as the snake.''
They eventually reached the main chamber. Again the main chamber was like no place she had ever been before. The Chamber Of Secrets was magnificent. It was a huge vast cavern, rectangular in its shape. Going down both sides were shallow pools. In the pools sat a dozen stone carvings of snakeheads. There was another stone carving that looked like it was carved into the wall. But this carving was of a man's face. Hermonie guessed that it was based on Slytherin. But she had to admit he must have had great style.
''So where is the leaver to open the floor,'' she said.
''It's over here,'' said George. He said this walking up to the pillar. He pressed down on the leaver. It opened with A click and gears scraping against each other.
George led the way. They began There decent into the ground.
''It's a long way down,'' said Fred. ''Will take a while.''
Eventually, they made it to the bottom. And they began There walk down the corridor. They went into the crypt room for a look around. When Hermione entered she at once noticed that There were very faint shadows in the air. Similar to those she saw in the library.
''Can you see the shadows,'' said Hermonie. She said this while pointing at them.
''No,'' said Fred. ''Can't see them.
Harry, Ron, and George said no as well.
''They must only reveal them self to one of us,'' said George.
''We never seen anything,'' said Fred. ''While we were hear the other night.''
At this point, the shadows had become fully visible to Hermonie. But this time they did not turn into arrows. But a number. The number was 186
''Where is it telling us to go.''
''No, it's not arrows this time,'' she said. ''Its a number.''
''What number is it,'' said Harry.
'' The number is 186,'' she said.
''Is that a clue,'' said Ron.
''Must be,'' said Fred.
''If its a clue, what does it mean,'' Said Fred.
Hermonie took off her bag, and she took out the book.
''What are you doing,'' said Ron.
''Having a look at the book,'' said Hermonie.
Hermonie turned the page to 186. She began to read.
''Anyone got an idea of the time,'' said Fred.
Harry checked his watch. ''It is a quarter to four,'' said Harry.
She continued to read the book. She initially could not find anything. Until she noticed down in the bottom corner. There was a five digit code. 63991.
''I found something,'' she said.
''What is it,'' said Harry.
She said pointing to the corner of the page.''There is a code in the corner, look.''
They all gathered around the book to get a look.
''Any idea what it is for,'' said Ron.
'' It's obviously a lock code,'' said Hermione. ''The question is. where is it for.''
They all began searching the room thoroughly. They were looking for a five-digit combination lock. After five minutes of looking, George found it.
It was on Godric Gryffindor Sarcophagus. It small near the bottom of Sarcophagus.
Hermonie put in the code. Once the code was put in the Sarcophagus immediately began to move to the side. Revealing the staircase below.
''Well, we found a staircase,'' said Fred. '' Let's go down it.'' He began walking down the staircase. The others followed. This staircase brought them even deeper under the ground. They reached the end of the stairs. After a short walk along the corridor, they came to a massive door, over it said The Magic Room. But the door was closed. The door also Had a lock code in the centre.
''It has a Lock Box in the centre,'' said Hermione.
''I wonder will we be able to crack it,'' said Fred.
''Il have a go,'' said Hermione.
Hermione put her wand in the center hole in the lock box. But she immediately realised that this would be very difficult, much more difficult than anything she has ever encountered before. She tried for a few minutes, but she knew it was hopeless. And she gave up.
''This is hopeless,'' said Hermione.
''Mabey one of us should have a go,'' said Ron.
''I don't know about you, but I need some sleep, its Saturday tomorrow,'' said Fred. ''We can try and crack this tomorrow.''
''Yea, we can come back tomorrow,'' said George.
''Ok,'' said Hermione. ''Lets come back tomorrow then.''
They began to make there way back up to the castle,'' said Ron.
''We will find a way,'' said Fred.
