Chapter 11: A Memory

"Hermione," Ginny called catching up to Hermione. She stopped walking and waited for the red-head to reach her before starting to walk again. "Hermione why would Fred and George think your knocked up?" she asked.

"Because they're Fred and George," Hermione answered. Ginny glared.

"Hermione, as much as my brothers like to joke with some things I don't think they would just pop that conclusion out without something happening for them to think about it." Ginny continued. Hermione sighed.

"Alright, alright, I was puking in the girls bathroom and then when I came out there they were standing there okay?" Hermione started to speed up ahead of Ginny. But the red-head wasn't done with her, she sped up also to keep up with Hermione.

"Well are you?" she asked. Hermione stopped suddenly.

"No," she said defiantly. Ginny stared at her.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Of course I'm sure. I mean, well, no but I don't think I am," Hermione said her spirits slowly crumbling.

"Hermione, did you take the test?" she asked. Hermione shook her head as she looked down at her lap. "But your not a virgin, right?" she asked. Hermione shook her head again.

"Who?" Ginny asked. Hermione looked up surprised but without words. "Hermione, let's just say you are pregnant. Hypothetically speaking of course," Ginny added. "Whose the father?" she asked. Hermione began to walk again. "Hermione, I'm your best friend," Ginny said not moving from her spot. Hermione stopped again and looked down. "I deserve to know," she said.

Hermione turned around and Ginny walked up to her.

"You really want to know?" she asked. Ginny nodded. "Malfoy,"

"Get in line, get in line, on second thought. Make four lines one for each house," Professor Buehler said to all the seventh year students. She had sent out a notice that all seventh year students were to meet her at eleven a.m. sharply in the Great Hall on the next Saturday morning. Head students included.

The students had all been sitting around the Great Hall wondering what on Earth they were doing here, when Professor Buehler came rushing in with her wand in the air followed by Harry behind her. Her long blonde hair was now short as if not to get in the way. She handed a box to a few girls and they began to hand out hair elastics to anyone who had long hair.

The students all proceeded to tie their hair. "Now that were all in line our respective lines I would like all of you to follow me. We are taking a fieldtrip in hopes of getting all of you to enjoy the subject, of Defense Against the Dark Arts," she said. "Mr. Potter, I believe you know the way. Lead on," she said. Harry sighed.

He had been called into her office last week and asked to do this favor by her and Dumbledore. He really didn't want to do it. He wanted to stay away as far away from this place as possible.

He led Professor Buehler and the four houses out into the corridor. and began to walk towards the right. Hermione smiled as she realized what was going on, she remembered this path quite clearly. The people around whispered for her to tell them what was going on, but Hermione wouldn't talk.

Harry led them all straight into a bathroom. Hermione and Ron were pushed up front to be with Harry. Myrtle screeched as she dove towards the seventh years who all ducked out of her way.

"Myrtle no!" Hermione said. Myrtle stopped.

"What? I never have any visitors you can't expect me to just watch them, can you?" she whined in her usual thin voice.

"Myrtle please," said Harry and Myrtle dove straight into a stall and into the toilet that splashed.

"You'll all have to excuse Moaning Myrtle," Ron said, Hermione kicked him. "She's a bit emotional," he continued.

"A bit?" said Draco who had almost gotten splashed with the toilet's water.

"Well Mr. Potter," Professor Buehler said. "Why don't you began the lesson I have asked you to provide us with today," she continued as she stepped back. Harry sighed and looked at his friends for support. Hermione smiled.

"If you could all stand around the faucets please," she said. The seventh year worked themselves around so that they were circling the fountains. "Don't stand to close, you don't want to fall," she warned, a few of them took steps back, Malfoy being one of them.

"If you'll notice," Ron said. "That the handle of this faucet has a snake on it. Harry noticed it back in second year. That's how he realized this was…"

"The chamber of secrets," Harry finished a few of them whispered amongst themselves. "You all remember what happen back in second year because of it," he continued. "Some of you were even petrified by the basilisk. Which we can thank our Hermione here, for figuring that out," he said. Hermione blushed a little.

"Well then Potter," Malfoy spoke up, "How do we get in?" he said, already guessing why Professor Buehler had brought them here.

"Please everyone step back," Once professor Buehler had insured they were at a safe distance Harry stepped up. Everyone remain quiet trying to get a peak at what he was doing.

Harry opened his mouth and hissed a soft open up in parseltongue. Everyone listened attentively at the soft hissing coming from Harry's mouth. At once the tap began to glow a brilliant white light and began to spin. Then the sink began to move until it sank right out of sigh. Everyone stared carefully at the large pipe that was exposed.

"That's large enough for a man to slide down," A Hufflepuff said.

"Or for a giant snake to pass through," Malfoy added. Harry stared at him, some how thankful he wasn't the one that had to mention it.

"Right," Harry continued staring at everyone. "Hermione will go first and help you all once you get down there. You'll all land in a pile of bones, I have to ask you not to scream please." he said as some of the girls looked at him horrified. Professor Buehler giggled slightly.

"There is also a snake skin in one of the tunnel's we have to go through. It is not the basilisk I can assure you it's dead. But the skin it shed before it died will probably still be there, don't touch it. It's a bit disgusting," he said. Hermione made sure her hair was properly tied before looking at the people around her.

True, she had never actually been to the chamber of secrets and was eager to see it but she had a pretty good idea what it was like from the stories Harry and Ron told her. She nodded at Harry and threw herself into the tunnel. Everyone stared at the blackening pipe until they heard a soft thud.

"This is amazing," they heard a voice yell up, "and a bit disgusting really," a few of them laughed.

"All right whose next?" Harry asked. Everyone stared around for a moment before Malfoy stepped up.

"I'll go," he said. Harry nodded and Malfoy jumped into the pipe. Again they stared at the pipe until their was a soft thud.

"Whoa," was all they heard from Malfoy. Hermione smiled as Draco gave a small silent kiss. The kids around them began to throw themselves into the pipe one by one, until all Harry was the last one to go in. Once they were all in he pulled out his wand.

"Anyone with a wand please make some light," he said before whispering Lumos. There was an uproar of students performing the spell and the dark damp tunnel they were standing in lit up. Everyone took a look at their surroundings and finally understood why they were told to bring old clothes. They were all covered in wet goo.

"How will we get back up?" A Ravenclaw asked. Professor Buehler spoke this time.

"Professor Dumbledore has arranged for stairs to be placed there when we come back,"

"Through a twisting pipe?" the Ravenclaw argued.

"Is he not the greatest wizard of all time?" Professor Buehler answered quietly and calmly.

"Right, follow me. Don't touch the skin." Harry said motioning to a long snake skin that was still lying there after all these years. As they passed a few torn down rocks they could head Ron telling them how Lockhart had stolen his broken wand from his trying to obliviate them and was hit with his own spell crumbling down those rocks.

Harry led them towards another wall, this one had two entwined serpents carved on it, their eyes were set with great, glinting emeralds. Harry approached it and everyone fell silent again. Once more Harry spoke in parseltongue.

The serpents parted as the wall cracked open, the halves slid smoothly out of sight, and Harry, shaking from head to toe in memory of the last time he was in here. Walked inside.

They all followed him through the wall and stared around amazed. They were standing at the end of a very long dimly lit chamber. Towering stone pillars entwined with more carved serpents rose to support a ceiling lost in darkness, casting long, black shadows through the odd greenish gloom that filled the place.

They all followed him down the chamber and past the serpents. Harry stopped at the front of the chamber, there were dark brown smudges on the ground. Draco, Hermione, Ron and a few others stared at the smudges.

"Oh god, Is that?" Ron asked. Harry nodded.

"That's where I found Ginny." Harry said. "That's both mine and her blood," he said remembering the snake fang stuck in his arm, and Ginny laying almost lifeless on the stone floor.

Then everyone looked up ahead of where they were standing. "Whose that?" a Hufflepuff asked. Looking up at a statue as high as any of the pillars themselves. The giant face above was of an ancient and monkeyish looking man with long thin beard that fell almost to the bottom of the wizard's sweeping stone robes, where to enormous gray feet stood on the smooth Chamber floor.

"Are you thick?" Malfoy asked the Hufflepuff. "That's Salazar Slytherin," he said in a sort of admiring way.

"That," said Harry pointing at Slytherins mouth "Is the most astonishing thing in here," he said.

"His mouth Potter?" Crabbe asked. Draco kicked him and told him to shut up.

"Yes." Harry answered and began to hiss. Saying in Parseltongue the same words he had heard five years before. "Speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts Four" Slytherin's mouth opened wider and wider making a large black whole appear. Even Professor Buehler seemed amazed at this.

"That's where the basilisk was. That's where it came out of when it came to kill me," he said. They all stared around silently taking it in.

"Hermione," Ginny said coming into the her dormitory. Hermione looked up from her book. She was trying to read and rest a little, she'd had a long day down in the chamber of secrets.

Ginny walked up to her and handed her a small brown paper bag. Hermione looked at it. Ginny sighed.

"I thought it might help you," she said. "Just be sure alright?" she said and left. Hermione opened the bag and pulled out a pregnancy potion. She closed her eyes and deeply sighed.
