I don't own Harry Potter or Frozen!
After that little trip to the Forbidden Forest, one thing was clear to us for sure. The girl was killed in a bathroom fifty years ago. It was Moaning Myrtle! However, none of us had time to go visit her because professors were watching student's every move.
Honestly, I felt like we were some crazy guys who people weren't trusting. It wasn't like we opened the Chamber and petrified those poor students! Elsa and I haven't spoken to each other since our shouting match. Harry, Ron and Kristoff kept trying to convince me how she wasn't thinking and how she would never say that last night.
The next morning and three days before our first exam, Harry, Ron and I were eating our breakfast when McGonagall came. Kristoff sat next to me, taking some eggs and bacon. "I have some good news." She said, and the Great Hall, instead of being silent roared with voices.
"Dumbledore's coming back!" a few students shouted rejoicing. "You've caught the heir of Slytherin!" a girl by the Ravenclaw table squealed. "We can play Quiditch again!" Oliver Wood exclaimed excitedly. When all of us decided to shut our mouth, McGonagall finally told us the news.
"Professor Sprout's told me that mandrakes are ready. Tonight, we'll be able to revive those who were petrified. I don't have to remind you that maybe one of them may be able to tell us who or what's attacked them. I hope this terrible year will end with catching the culprit." I let out a huge smile at that. Hermione, Colin, Nick, Justin, that Ravenclaw girl and Mrs. Norris were finally going to be here with us again!
Everyone was thrilled as well. I saw few of the Slytherins including Draco have joined the celebration. Marcus Flint, Crabbe and Goyle haven't though. Harry, Ron and Kristoff were sharing my happiness. "No it doesn't matter that we haven't asked Myrtle! Hermione will probably have answers to everything when they wake her up! But, she'll go mad when she finds out that exams are in three days!" Ron told us.
I nodded. "She hasn't done the revision at all!" "Maybe it would be better to leave her like that until the exams finish?" Ron asked. I shook my head. Maybe, but I've missed her so much, and I didn't want anyone to be petrified anymore!
"Hi." A voice said. I looked up to see Elsa looking at Harry, Ron, Kristoff and me. I didn't know what to say, so I was sitting there, gaping like a fish. "Yes?" Kristoff asked. Elsa said nothing. Instead, she looked at the whole Gryffindor table, a look of fear on her face.
Why? It wasn't like we were going to harm her or something! She quickly sat across Kristoff, looking down as if the ground was interesting to her. I could see her fiddling with her hands and leaning a bit on her chair. It was like she was about to admit something horrible…
"I… I've got to tell you something." She muttered, refusing to look into our eyes. "What?" Harry asked. "What is it, Elsa?" Kristoff asked her calmly, but I could see he wanted her to say it as much as me. Elsa opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
I leaned to her, whispering so only Harry, Ron, Kristoff, Elsa and I could hear it. "Is it about the Chamber of Secrets? Did you see something?" Elsa let out a deep breath, preparing to say something when a person that I least wanted to see at the moment appeared.
"Elsa, what are you doing here? You should be sitting by your table! Please, could you stand up; I've just come back from the guarding duty?" Elsa quickly jumped off the chair like it was energized before running off somewhere. "Elsa!" I shouted after her and stood up, but it was too late.
I sighed, slumping back to my chair while Percy sat down, taking a cup from the table. "Percy!" I exclaimed a bit angrily. "She was preparing to tell us something important!" Ron added. "What?" However, there was nothing else we could do.
"We're going to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom this afternoon?" I whispered to Kristoff and Draco. "As soon as we escape the teachers." Kristoff told me. I frowned. "Who's escorting you to Charms?" "Professor Sprout." Kristoff responded. "What about you Draco?" "Snape." "Perfect, see you there!"
Lockhart was escorting us to History of Magic. To pass our time, Harry, Ron and I decided to play 'Lockhart, Spot On' while he wasn't looking. Harry was impersonating Lockhart holding his foot after being bitten by Venemous Tentacula when Lockhart decided to talk to us.
"You'll see, first words that come out of the petrified people's mouth will be 'it was Hagrid'. Honestly, I'm shocked McGonagall thinks that all these security measures are necessary." "Why you little…" I muttered a rather bad word, making Ron's eyes widen and he started chuckling.
"I agree with you sir." Harry said, making Ron and I drop our books. What was he…? Oh yeah, we had to go to Myrtle's bathroom. "Thanks Harry, I want to say, us teachers have enough job and without that to escort students to classes and be on a guard at night…" Lockhart responded politely.
"You're right." Ron said, realizing Harry's plan. "Why don't you leave us here, sir, we need to go through only the next hallway!" "You know what Weasley, I think I will. I really need to get ready for my next class." Lockhart responded.
"Go ahead, professor!" Ron and Harry encouraged. "Break a leg!" I added. Lockhart then left. "Break a leg? Anna, you're a genius!" Ron was roaring with laughter. "Come on, you two!" Harry urged us to hurry up.
"Fantastic plan!" we were congratulating each other when a voice stopped us. "Potter, Arendelle, Weasley! What are you doing?" It was professor McGonagall. "We were… we were… we've wanted to… to go see…" Ron stuttered.
"Hermione!" Harry and I finished together. Ron and McGonagall looked at us. "We haven't seen her for so long, professor." Harry quickly continued while I stepped on Ron's foot. "And we've wanted to sneak in the Hospital Wing, you know, to tell her that the Mandrakes are almost ready, and not to worry."
McGonagall was staring at us, and honestly, I thought she was going to start shouting at us. "Of course." I could have sworn I've seen a tear in her right eye. "Of course, I get that this is the hardest for friends of those who are… I completely understand. Yes Potter, of course you can go see Miss Granger. I'll tell Professor Binns where you went; tell Madame Pomfrey that you have my permission."
We had no choice but to go to the Hospital Wing. "I wonder whether she's seen the attacker." Said Ron, watching Hermione with sadness. "Because, if he sneaked behind all of them, no one will ever know…" I felt sad seeing her like this. Sure, we had a fight, but she was still my best friend!
Harry leaned down, looking at her left hand. After making sure Madame Pomfrey wasn't nearby, he showed to us that she had some sort of a paper in her hand! "Try to get it out." Ron whispered, moving his chair so he could hide Harry and me from Madame Pomfrey's sight.
That wasn't an easy job though. Hermione's hand was tightly gripped. However, after about three or four minutes of tension, we managed to get the paper out. It was a page ripped out of a very old book from the Library. Harry straightened it out while Ron and I leaned closer to read its content.
From many scary beasts and monsters from our country, none of them is not as odd and deathly as the Basilisk, known as the King of Snakes. This snake, which can reach giant height and live many hundreds of years, is born from a hen's egg.
Except his deathly and poisonous fangs, Basilisk can kill with his look, and everyone that looks in his eye directly will be killed instantly. Spiders flee from it because the Basilisk is his mortal enemy, and the Basilisk runs only from roosters, whose crows are deathly for it.
Under that, word ' pipes' was written neatly. At that moment, everything clicked in place. "Ron, Anna, that's it! The monster from the Chamber was Basilisk!" However, Hagrid told us his roosters have been killed, and Elsa had their feathers all over her robes. I couldn't figure it out!
"Basilisk kills people with his look, but no one died because they didn't look him in the eyes!" Harry told us. "Colin saw him through his camera… The Basilisk burned its entire film, but Colin was only petrified!" "Justin must have seen it through Nick, who saw him in full light, but he couldn't die again!" I added, realizing where this was going. "Hermione and that Ravenclaw girl must have seen it through the mirror after Hermione found out the Basilisk was the monster." Harry then said.
"What about Mrs. Norris?" Ron asked curiously. I frowned, trying to remember the scene from a few months ago. "Water…" Harry whispered. "She must have seen only the reflection!" he and I chorused. After that, we fit in the spiders and roosters part. Everything was clear now!
Hermione figured out Basilisk was moving through the castle by using plumbing, which was why Harry was the only one who heard his voice; he was the only one who could speak Parseltongue! Suddenly, Ron grabbed our hands.
"Enter to the Chamber of Secrets! What if it's in the bathroom? What if it's in…?" "Moaning Myrtle's bathroom!" three of us finished together. We then concluded Harry wasn't the only Parselmouth here. How else could the heir of Slytherin control the Basilisk anyway?
"What are we going to do?" I asked. "All students are to return to their house dormitories at once! All teachers to the Second Floor corridor immediately!" Suddenly, McGonagall's voice could be heard all over the school.
Harry, Ron and I looked at each other before racing to the Second Floor corridor. We had to find out what happened! "Whoa!" I bumped into someone and was about to fall when a hand caught me. "Got you!" Kristoff smiled.
I smiled back. "Good to see you two!" I told Kristoff and Draco. "What are you doing here?" Ron asked. "We were waiting for you in Myrtle's bathroom when we heard McGonagall." Kristoff explained. "So we decided to check it out." Draco finished.
We then quickly hid behind a wall. Thankfully the professors haven't heard us. "It happened again. The monster has taken one student right into the Chamber!" I could hear McGonagall saying. "We're sending students to train tomorrow. This is the end of Hogwarts!" No, I refused to believe in that.
I could hear Lockhart then apologizing for being late and everyone counting on him to find the Chamber. He then excused himself and went to get ready for something. "Who did the monster take?" Madame Pomfrey asked. Whoever it was, I felt sorry for the person's family and friends.
"Elsa Arendelle." McGonagall said sadly. At that moment, everything stopped. I couldn't breathe. Did I hear that correctly?! No, that Basilisk couldn't have taken Elsa! Kristoff was holding my hand when we got to the wall to inspect a new message, written with blood again.
HER SKELETON WILL LIE IN THE CHAMBER FOREVER
"Elsa…" I whispered in disbelief, tears streaming down my eyes.
So, we're getting closer to the end of Year Two! Now, I've got some things planned out for Year Four, but I'm not exactly sure what to do with Anna in that year, so, I'd be happy to hear your ideas if you have them! See you next time!
