Chapter 20 – The Chamber of Secret
Hannah p.o.v
We walked Lockhart, down to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. I was angry how he could just start to get up and run away. We pushed him through the door first. Moaning Myrtle looked coldly at us.
' What do you want this time' she asked, bored.
' To ask how you died' said Harry, she looked at him and smiled.
She floated over to us,
' It happened right in here, in this very stall. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was crying because I was getting bullied about my glassed, so I sat in here, the door was locked but I heard somebody come in. They were speaking funny though, like a different language. It was a boy speaking so I unlocked the door to get him out and then, I died. I just remember seeing a big pair of big yellow eyes, after my body froze and I floated away' she said looking at Harry.
'Where did you see the eyes' asked Harry,
'Over there' she pointed to the sinks. We walked over to them, Lockhart walking slowly behind us.
We looked over the sinks, but saw nothing as Harry pointed at something.
'Slytherin snake' replied Ron, as a Snake was on the side of the tape.
'That one's never worked' Myrtle said next to us.
'Harry, say something in Parseltongue' I asked him.
'Open up' said Harry.
'English, try again' replied Ron.
He said it again but this time a hissing sound coming out his mouth, I looked at him surprised, I think he was to.
We gasped as the tap began to glow, they starting to move, opening to reveal a large pipe, wide enough for a man to slide into.
'I'm going down there' said Harry.
'Us to' replied Ron, as I nodded in agreement.
There was a pause.
' Well it looks like you don't need me-' Lockhart began.
We instantly grabbed out wands pointing them at him.
We backed him towards the pipe.
'Now what good will this do?' he started. As Ron pushed him in with his wand, hearing him scream and then stop.
We looked at each other as I breathed. We nodded, as Harry, Ron and then me, walking into the hole, it was like going down a slide, not falling in mid-air. We landed hard on the floor, not hurting as much as I though. But it was dirty. We were covered in slime. And the smell wasn't the best.
' We must be miles under the school' said Harry, looking around the tunnel.
We turned to the dark alley.
I grabbed my wand as it instantly lighted up, something I didn't need to say anything for unlike Harry.
'Lumos' he muttered as now his light, lighted up.
We walked silently into the tunnel,
' Remember any sign of movement, close your eyes right away' he whispered.
We carried on walking hearing scrunching as we moved, we looked down, animal bones, I hear Ron swallow.
' Harry, there's something up there' Ron whispered.
'We all froze, something massive laid across the floor, just like a snake' we slowly walked over to it, it wasn't moving or make the slightest bit of noise.
We gasped as our wands light reflected onto the snake's skin. It must have been more that 20 feet long.
'Blimey' said Ron as we head Lockhart, fall to the ground.
'Get up' I ordered.
He got up before grabbing Ron and his wand, he smiled at us.
' The adventure ends here, boys, I shall take a bit of this skin back up to the school, tell them I was to late to save
the girl, you three losing you minds, say good by to your memories' he stared before pointing his wand at the three of us, pushing Ron in front of me.
'Obliviate' he explained, as the wand made a loud noise and exploded, I ran with Ron to the side and Harry when the other direction.
I looked up, holding hands with Ron.
'Ron, Harry. Are you okay?' shouted Harry.
'Were fine' I shouted,
'The git isn't he got blasted by the wand' Ron called out.
'What now, we can't get through ' I shouted back.
'Wait with Lockhart, I'll go on' Harry shouted back.
I signed, great.
'We'll try and shift some one this rock, so you can get back through' shouted Ron.
' See you, in a bit Harry, you can do it' I shouted back. I turned my head, a confused Lockhart staring at Ron and I.
This was going to be a hard next hour. I though as Ron and I began to start moving some rock.
Time past and I was beginning to worry, how was we even going to get back up.
' Ron, Harry. I have Ginny ' shouted Harry, I dropped the brick and squealed. She was alive. We push through the last stone as they both ran through it, Ron and I pulled Ginny into a tight hug, as she started crying. Light tears coming out of mine.
' I'm so glad you're okay' I whispered.
'How come you have a sword' asked Ron, I nodded looking at Harry, as Ginny began crying even harder.
' Later' replied Harry, we nodded.
' Where is Lockhart' he asked, as I pulled Ginny to my side.
' Back here' replied Ron as we walked over to him.
Led by Fawkes who we learnt belonged to Dumbledore, Lockhart was sitting at the bottom of the pipe, humming to himself.
' His memory's gone' said Ron, as I smiled slightly.
' Doesn't have a clue who he is, where he is, or who we are' replied Ron.
Lockhart looked up at us,
' Hello, weird sort of place this is, do you live here?' he asked,
' No ' replied Ron as he nodded going back to his humming.
' How are we going to get up this Harry' I asked him, as he looked up at it.
Fawkes started moving in front of Harry,
' He looks like he wants you to grab on' said Ron.
' He isn't an ordinary bird, he can hold us all if he had to' Harry replied.
' We need to hold onto each other, Hannah and Ginny, Ron hold onto Ginny and Lockhart' Harry replied.
I grabbed Harrys Robes with me hands, as he reached out and grabbed his feathers.
Ginny grabbed mine, Ron grabbed her and held on to Lockhart. I was a little nervous in case we fell but it was weird, there was light as we flew up the pipe. I was actually enjoying it but it soon ended as we ended up soaking wet on Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. The sink went back into place.
' Your alive, I mean if you had died you could always share my toilet' she said blinking at Harry. We walked out the bathroom, soaking went, my hair was drenched as the water fell off my face.
' Harry I think Myrtles got a crush on you, you have competition Ginny' said Ron, Ginny held tighter onto me as she still sobbed, as Harry ignored Him.
Fawkes was leading the way to Professor McGonagall's office.
Harry knocked on the door. He had blood on him, most of the slime was of me but it was mainly on Ron. The Door opened and a there was a scream, 'Ginny' followed by 'Hannah '. It was mum, Ginny ran to her as I followed bursting into tears. This year had been nothing like last year, it was worse. I had never felt too happy to see my mum. She cradled us both.
I pulled back and hugged Ron. Standing next to him and Harry.
Professor Dumbledore was standing smiling at us, next to Professor McGonagall.
'How did you save her' Mum said as she pulled us into a hug again.
'We would all like to know that' replied Professor McGonagall.
We pulled back as Harry places the sword, Riddles diary, and the sorting hat. And began telling our story to when he first heard the voices, going to the forbidden forest, guessing moaning Myrtle had been the victim. We told them everything, Dad looked speechless. Some parts I thought they would moan at us for breaking school rules but they were happy about it.
Dumbledore spoke gently,
'What interest me the most, is how lord Voldemort managed to enchant Ginny' he said.
' What, you know who- enchanted Ginny but she isn't ,, she hasn't been, Has she? ' asked dad surprised.
' It was the diary, Riddle wrote it when he was sixteen' said Harry giving the diary to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore turned to mum and dad,
'Very few people know that Lord Voldemort was once called Tom Riddle. I taught him myself fifty years ago at Hogwarts. He disappeared after leaving the school. When he resurfaced as Lord Voldemort he was barely recognizable. Hardly anyone connected Lord Voldemort with the clever, handsome boy who was once Head Boy here.' Dumbledore began.
' But what had Ginny, our Ginny got to do with him' asked mum, puzzled.
My head turned to Ginny, first time speaking.
'The diary, I've been writing in it and he's been writing back all year' she started, I saw dad start to talk as mum placed her arm on his.
Ginny explained how she found it inside one of the books mum gave her. Dubledore made her got to the hospital wing after that. With mum and dad.
Professor Mcgonagall left,
'I seem to remember telling you both that I would have to expel you if you broke any more school rule accept you Miss Weasley, which goes to show that the best of us must sometimes eat our words. You will both receive Special Awards for Services to the School and let me see I think two hundred points apiece for Gryffindor and 200 for Slytherin. But one of us seems to be keeping mightily quiet about his part in this dangerous adventure. Why so quiet Gilderoy' said Dumbledore as I smiled, the boys were going to stay, they smiled at each other and I smiled at them there friendship was so strong.
'There was an accident, the memory back fired on him' Ron began. Dumbledore made Ron and I take him to the hospital wing, still soaking wet. As he still talked with Harry.
I ran into the Slytherin common room, most was asleep but they would soon be waking up , I up the stairs, grabbing my pajamas and ran into the showers, I walked into a cubical and showered quickly letting the warm water clean me, I really wanted to stay in there longer, I washed my hair and body, I had around 30 minutes for the feast to fully start. I walked out going into a sink cubical and started blow drying my hair before putting it into to French braids, my hair was long just above my belly button. I grabbed my pajamas before putting them on, they were baby blue with bunnys on, and it was a long sleeve top / button up shirt and baggy trousers. I put bed socks on and then my ugg like slippers before walking out and into the my room as the girls screamed at me.
'Where have you been, there's a fest at this time on night' Pansy replied, It was only half 11. We walked down into the corridor.
'You'll find out later' I replied as she smiled. Draco's eyes met mine and came over to me, pulling me into a hug.
'Where were you' He asked pulling back. Everyone els dressed the same.
'Chamber of secrets. No need to worry any more' I replied smiling as he smiled back.
'What did I say, not to get into any danger' he replied smirking. I smirked back,
'It's my middle name' I replied sarcastically as he laughed before I grabbed his hand and followed him to the feast.
We walked into the great hall, seeing Hermione, Ron and Harry, Draco smiled as he sat at the Slytherin table.
Hermine screamed and ran over to me, pulling me into a hug.
The beginning of the feast went quick as, Hagrid turned up, announcing why we were celebrating, giving the points out. That made me smiled as the whole of Slytherin chanted my name. I smiled and hid my face behind Draco shoulder. The rest of the school joining as He announced Ronald and the Harry. They also announced the we wasn't having end of year exams, Gryffindor still won the cup but it wasn't the first thing on my mind. They also announced that Lockhart wasn't returning which the teachers were even happy about. The least weeks after that flew by. And before I knew it, it was the day we were going home. Something I was sad to actually say.
I stood next to Draco at Hogsmead station, he knew I was going to be sitting with my siblings.
'These two last years have gone quick' he whispered as we stood down a corridor away from everyone els.
'I know, who would have thought we would have even ended up being friends' I replied as be both chuckled.
'Thank you Hannah, I haven't had a friend like you who actually understands what under being a bully. You really are special to me' he replied as he smiled at me and pulled me into a hug. I felt my self-blushing, he pulled back and stopped, he kissed my cheek, I closed my eyes quickly before opening them. AJFIBFWLFBRFLBREVBERVBREIFBREFBRLKB.
I really hope he couldn't feel the heat on my cheeks, he pulled back and chuckled at me, as I just smiled at him.
'See you next year Han, you better write' he said as he turned starting to walk.
'I write, it's you who needs to remember 'I called back as he chuckled, walking away. I just stood there dazed my body feeling like jelly. Maybe the 'crush' was starting to actually show.
I somehow got onto the train and into the cabin, with Ginny, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Fred and George in.
' Percy has a girlfriend' said Ginny as we pulled up at Kings cross station. All eyes on her.
' A Ravenclaw prefect, Penelope Clearwater. That who he was writing to all summer last year. They were meeting up in secret. I found them kissing in a classroom. He was so devastated when she was attacked. Don't tease him' she replied. The twins smirked as I nodded.
' Wouldn't dream of it, not a chance' replied Fred. I smirked at them. Was it opposite day?
We walked off the train as I ran over to mum and dad. I turned my head round to say wave at Hermione as Draco came into view, he smiled at me and I returned the smile.
' Who you smiling at Hannah' said Fred, smirking.
' No one' I turned to him. He just continued to smirk as we started to walk away.
Only around 9 weeks until we can go back .
HEY GUYS 3, thank you so much for reading. YEAR 2 IS FINISHED. I feel like it's going really fast. Draco KISSED Hannah's cheek awwww. They are 13 I think a kiss on the cheek is acceptable. Year 3 will be the year, feelings start to become clear to the eye. I hope you enjoyed this year, if you think it wasn't many chapters don't worry, definitely from year 4, it will be double the length because I am able to write so much more, to do with Draco and Hannah.
