Author Note Responding to sway ryan 15 people don't really know that Harry was abandoned and with Michael people just see the Boy Who Lived Being Safe and out of harms way.

Remus is currently travelling trying to help werewolf's around the world

The Potters public image will take a dive when that comes out but not right now.

They will appear in Seventh Year 1994 so three years from now.

Lilly will be the first one Harry interacts with then

I want to make sure that they appear at the right time to me.

IF you or anyone else does not like that decision I really appreciate you reading and giving your feedback.

I read all the comments you leave

Also yes Lockhart is teaching the same as he did in Book Second Year.

Does he really seem smart enough to teach seven levels of complicated instructions though or would he just mainly read his books to his classes.

Chapter 31

October 31st 1991

Hogwarts

Soon October arrived sneaking up on them fast and spreading a darmp chill over the grounds and into the castle and Madame Pomfrey was kept busy by a sudden spate of colds among the staff and her Pepperup potions worked instantly though it left the drinker smoking at the ears for several hours afterward.

And before Harry knew it was Halloween.

Getting up that Saturday morning he thought about what he would do today with Daphne.

In the past few weeks they had been going on outside for walks by the lake when they were not busy with school work or training.

And he was hoping that after classes he would be able to go with Daphne on a walk before the Halloween Feast.

But sadly over the past week or so there had been raindrops the size of bullets thundering on the castle windows for days on end,the lake rose significantly and the flower beds turned into muddy streams.

So they couldnt be outside.

But Harry wanted to find something else to do with his girlfriend.

He wasnt sure what yet.

Daphne had been annoyed with Gilderoy Lockhart who after their disastrous first class had resulted in several students being injured he had just taken to reading scenes from his book.

And the books did not actually teach them anything about Defense against the Dark Arts, the subject that Lockhart was supposed to be teaching.

Both Harry and Daphne having looked at his books and seen him in class concluded that Lockhart must be a fraud and could have never have actually done the things that he had written in his books.

That's why it was annoying why so many people still adored Lockhart for some reason.

Daphne had really gotten agitated a few weeks ago when she overheard some Hufflepuff girls talking about how Lockhart was with hands-on instruction.

As if.

So Harry and Daphne then spend their Defense against the Dark Arts period working on other stuff while pretending to be reading Lockharts books.

And they had learned a lot of actual spells during that time.

Daphne was a great person to work with and he always learned better with than without her.

Harry got dressed quickly and headed out to meet up with his girlfriend

SCENE CHANGE

Waiting near Daphne's door for a while he was surprised when she came out sniffling.

"Hey Daph"He said "You ok".

"I dont know"She said coughing "I just woke up feeling a bit cruddy".

Harry felt her forehead.

She felt warm.

"Looks like you have a cold Daph"Harry said "You might want to go to Madam Pomfreys for that".

"I suppose so"Daphne sniffled "My throat does feel a little bit sore and i think i'm getting a little bit of a headache"

"Do you have any aching?"Harry asked.

"A little"Daphne said grimacing.

"Come on"Harry said, offering Daphnia an arm "I'll drop you off with Madame Pomfrey and then go get some breakfast for you".

Daphne gladly took the offered arm, sighing "Thanks Harry you're amazing".

Together the two of them made their way to Madam Pomfreys where Harry left her before heading to the Great Hall quickly to grab some grub.

Heading back to the Hospital Wing he saw that Madame Pomfrey had given Daphne some Potions to help with her cold.

Daphne soon was dragging him back to the Common Room.

"Come on"She said "Weve got some school work to get done".

"Are you sure"Harry asked. ''Are you sure you dont want to rest a bit to work off your cold".

"I'm feeling better"Daphne said "Come on weve got stuff to get done before the feast".

Not wanting to argue, Harry followed her back to the Common Room where they got to work on some class assignments.

But his worries about her health were proven to be justified when Daphne ended up falling asleep in his lap.

He felt her forehead and sighed..

She was still hot.

Seeing the Common Room was pretty empty Harry decided to carry his girlfriend to her room where he layed her on the bed and unbraided her hair like he knew she did before bed, took off her shoes and socks before transfiguring her uniform into something more comfortable and tucking her in.

Feeling her burning forehead again Harry decided to head out to Madam Pomfreys where he convinced her to give him some potions that would help Daphne out.

He then decided to go to the Great Hall where they were setting up food for the feast tonight.

Grabbing some food he left back for the Common Room.

Daphne wouldnt be able to attend this year's feast with her being sick so Harry wouldnt go either.

She shouldnt be alone.

Reaching Daphne's Room he frowned as he entered and saw that she had woken up when he was out.

She didn't notice him in the room as rough coughs shook her frame. Harry sat next to her on the bed and rubbed her back soothingly.

Helping her down to the pillow he poured a small amount of the Draught of Dreamless Sleep he got from Madame Pomfrey down her aching throat

Hoping that the potion would keep her from coughing and waking up sat in a nearby chair and despite wanting to stay awake to make sure Daphne was ok he ended up drifting off into his own sleep.

DREAM SEQUENCE BEGINS

"Rip,Tear,Kill"

"So Hungry,For So Long".

"Kill,Time to Kill".

"I smell blood,I smell blood,I SMELL BLOOD".

Slowly a view of a corridor began to appear where something was shining on a wall.

Words written on a wall shimmering in light cast by torches.

THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPENED.

ENEMIES OF THE HEIR BEWARNED.

A Rumble off in the distance was soon followed by hundreds of feet that soon stopped all of a sudden.

"What's going on here,What's going on".

"My cat,My cat,What's happened to Mrs Norris".

DREAM SEQUENCE ENDS

Harry woke up panting and wondered what he had dreamed about before he heard a small low thump and he quickly realized that Daphne was not in her bed. Instead she was on the wooden floor next to it, one sock halfway on and a small pout on her face. It was very obvious she was too weak to get up.

"What were you doing?" he asked as he lifted her onto the mattress and ridded her of the offending sock.

"I was getting ready for the feast, and I would have finished if you didn't pick me up," she croaked, pout still in place.

"Of course you could have" he said looking at the time "But i'm pretty sure by this time the feast is over".

"And for now, talking probably isn't helping your throat either. You can either stop, or I can cast a charm and make you stop. Your option," he said in a firm voice that clearly stopped all arguing.

Harry got up and found a piece of parchment and a quill for her to communicate with.

Daphne then went into a coughing fit and Harry sat next to her rubbing calming circles on her back and used his wand to fill her a glass of water for when she was done

He then picked up a potion that he had gotten from Pomfrey for Daphne and that he had put nearby.

Daphne's eyes widened upon seeing it.

Grabbing a spoon they both watched some of the potion run slowly onto the utensil. It had a sickening texture and a putrid green color to it.

They both winced.

But Harry knew this was for her benefit,

Harry rested the spoon near Daphne's lips in hopes she would drink it and she stubbornly shook her head and pursed her lips together tightly.

"Come on Daph this came from Madame Pomfrey, you know it will make you feel better," Harry pleaded. Seeing her shake her head he sighed, and put the spoon down.

He then had an idea.

Leaning down he planted a gentle kiss on her lips.

Seeming surprised Daphne eventually responded and deepened the kiss. Both were in bliss until Harry leaned away quickly and forced the potion into her now open mouth. As he clamped his hand over her mouth to keep from refusing the potion he looked at her.

"Please take the Potion Daph I want you to get better"He said "For me please".

After a few seconds of the two of them staring at each other Daphne eventually relented and winced as she swallowed the Potion.

Harry then urged her mouth open, and examined her throat with wand light. It was far too red and irritated for his liking.

Harry helped Daphne swallow the glass of water and a sleeping potion and gave her one last kiss before she fell asleep.

He then left to the Common Room realizing that the students would most likely be getting back from the feast about now.

Getting into the Common Room he saw with the students entering that something seemed different about the lot of them.

He saw Edmund walking in and went up to talk with him.

"Hey Ed"He called out "What's going on" seeing his face.

Edmund shrugged.

"Not fully sure"He said "Something happened to Madame Norris and there was some writing on the wall about the Chamber of Secrets".

Harry felt chills go down his spine.

Madame Norris

The Chamber of Secrets.

That's what his "dream "was about.

Was it a dream?

He had been with Daphne at the time it had happened so how could he have dreamt about something that had happened in another part of the castle.

Needing time to think about this he excused himself and went up to his room to think about what had happened.

SCENE CHANGE

For the next few days people could not stop talking about how , according to Professor Dumbledore, Mrs Norris had been attacked and petrified.

Filch kept the incident fresh in everyone's minds by pacing the spot where she had been attacked, as though he thought the attacker might come back. Harry had seen him scrubbing the message on the wall with Mrs. Skower's All-Purpose Magical Mess Remover, but to no effect; the words still gleamed as brightly as ever on the stone. When Filch wasn't guarding the scene of the crime, he was skulking red-eyed through the corridors, lunging out at unsuspecting students and trying to put them in detention for things like "breathing loudly' and "looking happy."

Harry was conflicted.

He knew that he had dreamt of the Petrified Mrs Norris being found; he just was not sure how he was able to view it and what he was viewing it through.

When he had shared his dream with Daphne she had been distrurbed to and they both had decided to look up more about what the Chamber of Secrets was.

Just like all the other students where.

Really having been in Hogwarts and Slytherin House for several years now Harry would have thought that he would have heard of it before.

They had heard something about a hidden chamber but nothing more than that.

He immediately sent Master Dao an owl to see if he knew anything.

And a few days later they got their reply.

Dear Harry

As you know, Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago — the

precise date is uncertain — by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. The four

school Houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena

Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They built the castle together, far from prying Muggle

eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and

wizards suffered much persecution.

For a few years, the founders worked in harmony together, seeking out youngsters who

showed signs of magic and bringing them to the castle to be educated. But then

disagreements sprang up between them. A rift began to grow between Slytherin and

the others. Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to

Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. He

disliked taking students of Muggle parentage, believing them to be untrustworthy. After

a while, there was a serious argument on the subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor,

and Slytherin left the school.

Hogwarts has been searched many times for evidence of such a chamber, by the most learned witches and wizards.

The general consensus is that it does not exist and is just a tale told to frighten the gullible.

Harry showed Daphne the letter.

"Hmm"She said "I did not know about that".

"Neither did I Daph"Harry replied "Neither did I"

Author Note The Chamber of Secrets has been opened.

As a bit of insight into the timeline I have planned

The next two years after that will be Umbridge then the Potters and the Goblet of Fire
