Eric couldn't have been happier Miss. Snape had gone and talked to his sister only a week ago. And now he had a letter saying that everything was going to work out and that he didn't have to worry anymore. Eric loved his sister, she was the only family he really had. He would do anything for her. But it was nice to not have to do this for her.

Eric spent the next couple days explaining to people that he would no longer be doing their homework or helping them study and instead he spent that time with his friends. It was nice not having to hide anything from them it made it easier to spend time with them.

Today was Halloween and Eric was more than happy to spend the day with his friends. Harry seemed a little off all day but after being called into his father's office he came out acting normal again. Draco, on the other hand, could only talk about the candy he wanted to eat. Hermione kept telling him he would only rot out his teeth. Eric thought the whole thing was funny as they had been fighting about it since breakfast.

Finally, it was time for dinner Eric watched as Draco would grab a piece of candy only for Hermione to grab it from him and tell him 'no' like he was a knotty child. Nevil who was sitting on Hermione's other side keep handing Draco things behind her back. Eric who was sitting across from them had a great view of the whole thing. Soon the friends were done eating and made their way out of the great hall.

"Let's go down to the common room and tell each other spooky stories," Queeny suggested.

The other started to nod their agreement only for Hermione to interrupt. "Let's just go for a quick walk around first and try to get some of the sugar out of our systems or we will never sleep and some of us will end up with sore stomachs," Hermione told them sending a look over to Draco.

The others decided it was a good idea to listen to her. After their walk, they could tell each other stories

.

Walking thru the halls they ran around chasing one another, it was all fun and games for Harry and Eric until they both stopped dead in their tracks. "Kill, Kill" Eric could hear the voice but didn't know where it was coming from. He pulled out his wand as fast as he could and started to look around to see where it had come from. Harry had begun to do the same.

"did you hear that?" Harry asked

"What are you talking about?" Neville asked them looking to see what they were talking about

"There was a voice it said it was going to kill," Eric told them

The others looked at each other all looking a little spooked out by what they had been told. Pansy began to laugh "nice try guys but your not fooling me. I know you are only trying to make us scared" The others joined in with her all laughing about their little joke. Harry and Eric looked at one another both gave a little smile and hoped it was just some joke.

The group started to walk down the hall again only for them to stop dead in their tracks once more. There on the wall is written in blood, it said "the chamber of secrets has been opened enemies of the heir… beware" There were no more jokes now they each looked equally petrified. Misses Noris was also there but she really was petrified.

Pansy couldn't hold it in and began to scream at the top of her longs. Queenie looked horrified had grabbed onto the person closest to her who just so happened to be Harry. Hermione grabbed onto Neville who held on to her just as tightly. Draco tried to get Pansy to shut up but nothing seemed to work until he finally used a spell. Eric looked at his group of friends then up at the wall. He didn't know what to do. They all just stood there holding on to one another staring up at the wall. Until a teacher came, soon the hall was filled with teachers and students alike. The young group of slitherers quickly made their way thru the crowd and ran to their common room. They were no longer in the mood for spooky stories. each person made their way over to their own part of their room, boys and girls splitting up and got ready for bed.

Once all of the boys where in bed Eric made his way over to Harry's bed. The bed curtains were closed. Looking to see no one was watching Eric climbed into the bed beside Harry.

"Wha What are you doing!" Harry demanded

"shhhh Muffliato I don't want anyone to hear us. Now tell me could you really hear that voice in the hall or were you just joking?" Eric asked

"No, I could really hear it. It was saying kill over and over again." Harry told him

"ya that's what I heard two. Why do you think only you and I could hear it?" Eric asked

"maybe only you and I have good enuff hearing" Harry suggested

"or maybe… only you and I would understand what the voice was saying… You have a pet snake harry you seem to always know what it wants and when. Almost as if you know what it was saying" Eric told him glancing over at the snake

Harry looked at him with wide eyes "what are you talking about?" Harry said

"Harry, can you talk to snakes?" Eric asked Harry looked like he was about to object but before he could Eric continued "Its ok if you can! I can two" Eric told him

"Really," Harry asked in the snake tong

"Really" Eric replied in the snake tong

The tow smiled, Eric stayed in Harry's bed as they talked about how they found out they had this gift. Soon they're falling asleep together in Harry's bed.
