After running through hallways and pass some students, Draco and Luna soon arrived at the girl's lavatory. This one special lavatory was home to the Basilisk of Salazar Slytherin and the location of the Chamber of Secrets. Luna first stepped in and was soon followed by Draco, but he had to look around to make sure no one saw him enter a girl's bathroom. The Bloody Baron and Helena phase through the wall and continued to follow Luna and Draco. Luna looked at the many stalls of the bathroom but then saw the sinks that serves as the entrance to the Chamber of Secret. Draco circled around the sink while Luna stopped and looked at herself in the mirror.
"So this is it…? The entrance of the chamber?" Luna asked. Draco stopped right next to her and nodded.
"Yup… This is the one…" Draco said.
"Oh, looks like some people decided to pay the chamber a little visit, and not poor myrtle…" The two stiffened and turned around to see Myrtle floating above them.
"Hello Myrtle…" Luna said
"Oh, what is little loony Luna doing here? Are you both here to tease defenseless and ugly Myrtle!?" Myrtle yelled. The two stepped back surprised but then the two ghost that they were with floated in front of her.
"Enough Myrtle… You do not yell at someone like that… Especially if they are from the same house as us…" Helena said, the Baron then nodded in agreement. Luna stepped forward, in between the two house ghost.
"Myrtle.. I was wondering if you know about the House Relics… as well as the missing pages contained in it, and why it was taken…" Luna asked. Myrtle looked at Luna but then laughed.
"So what if I do know? You're wasting your time, Loony. Those pages were long gone! Longer than I have ever been and longer than these two, old folks!" Myrtle yelled. Helena flew up to her to protect Luna.
"Myrtle enough! You have no right to speak like that! Just because you died from the eyes of the basilisk, does not mean you will take out your anger on them!" Helena said. The Baron floated up to Helena and helded her, or tried to hold her, by the shoulders.
"Oh? And since when did you two started becoming friends? If I remembered correctly, you do not want to speak to the likes of him!" Myrtle claimed. Helena glared at her, as well as the Baron.
"Yes I know that, but the circumstances have changed and we are currently helping Luna and Draco" Helena said
"Fine, whatever, do what you want… I do not really care" And with that, Myrtle flew up and down a toilet bowl. Luna and Draco looked at the action with disgust and then turned back to the sink.
"How do we open it then?" Luna asked. Draco went up to the sink and tried to find a specific one. He then found the faucet that had the carvings of the snake.
"You need to speak in parselmouth, in order to get it to open" He said
"Well you should have said it before! Now we can't get inside…. None of us know how to speak in Parselmouth…" Luna said with defeat. Draco looked at her distraught expression and just chuckled it off.
"What's so funny?" Luna asked
"You may not know how to speak in snake language… But I do" Luna looked at him surprised. She did not believe what she was hearing.
"Wait… Are you serious?" Luna asked. Draco nodded and went up to the sink. He then spoke in Parselmouth, which soon lifted the roof of the sink, and then separated the sinks, making a giant hole to the very bottom. The 3 of them were surprised at Draco's new found abilities.
"I learned how to talk and write in Parselmouth during my free time… Never know when you're going to need it." Draco said as he looked down the hole. Luna looked down at the hole, and so did the two ghost.
"Well then… Gentleman's first" With that said, Luna pushed Draco, which made him lose balance and fell down the hole.
"LOVEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!" Draco yelled as he fell. Luna looked down and giggle, jumping and falling into the hole with him. The two ghost followed soon after. The two soon landed at the very bottom, and they landed under a bunch of skeletons, which made them react frantically and got up.
"Thanks alot, Lovegood" Draco sneered at her. Luna smiled and nodded. They then started to walk down the dark path way, that was filled with so many bones and rotting flesh. Certainly a place a basilisk would stay and eat at. Luna walked up ahead, followed by Draco and their two ghostly companion.
"I didn't think this was what Professor Slytherin was making down here… If I remember correctly, he promised the founders that he would fix the sewage system… Apparently he did by making it into a den for a basilisk…" The Baron suddenly explained. Soon they reached the second door and Draco did his thing and was able to open it. Once he did, they stepped through and was soon face to face with a row of snake statues, as well as the head of Salazar Slytherin up ahead.
"Is this…?" Luna asked. Helena nodded and floated down the aisle.
"Yes… This is the Chamber of Secrets…" Helena floated forward with the 3 following behind. She was soon face to face with Salazar's statue face. Helena looked at it and felt intimidated by the piercing gaze of the Slytherin Founder. Helena floated back when she suddenly floated back enough to feel the Baron's energy.
"It's alright Helena…" The Baron said and placed a hand on her shoulder. If Helena was alive, she would be blushing but instead just nodded at the Baron. Luna was watching their interaction and smiled with delight at them.
"Luna! Look at this!" Luna turned her head to the right and saw Draco standing next to the skeleton of the Basilisk that Harry slayed during his second year.
"That's a basilisk… Isn't it…?" Luna asked. He nodded and stroked his hand on the dry basilisk bones.
"Yeah… But it's dead now so, no harm will come to us I hope" Draco backed away from the dead creature and then turned around to find the two ghost missing.
"Baron? Helena?" Draco called out. Soon the two ghost phased back to them from the head of Salazar and frantically shouted.
"Draco! Luna! There is a room! A room inside of the head of the Professor!" The Baron yelled frantically and pointed towards the statue of Salazar.
"Yes, and the mouth is a possible door way… Maybe Draco can try and open it" Helena suggested. Draco went up to the mouth of Salazar and started speaking in Parselmouth. The mouth started to widen, which created a passageway into his head.
"Strange way to make an entrance…" Luna said. Draco went on ahead and then helped Luna in. The two were now inside, while the ghost just phased through the head.
"Wow… Where are we…?" Draco asked. Luna shrugged and shook her head, not sure how to respond to all of this.
"Lumos maxima…" Luna said, she waved her wand and the entire room lit up. What they saw was a room filled with some dead snake skins in the corners of the room and some shelves filled with books. Helena flew to the books, while the Baron just stood by Draco. But what caught Luna's attention, was a chest in the center of the room.
"Look at this, Draco" Luna called. Draco rushed towards her and saw the chest as well. The chest was decorated with carvings of silver snakes and the main color being black. Some of it's jewelry decor were green and it had a lock to keep it from intruders.
"Stand back…"Draco said. Luna stood up and went behind Draco. The two ghost also stood behind Draco as he pulled out his wand.
"Alohamora" Draco said. He pointed his wand at the lock and it fell from it's hold. The chest snapped open and Luna and Draco took a peek at what was inside.
"What's all this?" Luna asked. She knelt down and pulled out books, specifically potion books. She then pulled out some robes, as well as potion bottles.
"I remember those books, those are professor Slytherin's most prized collection of Potion books… He wrote those himself" the Baron said. Luna picked up a book and read through some of them.
"Amazing… These are potions I've never even heard of! Oh, we must take these up with us" Luna said excitedly. Draco however, was distracted by a small black box in the center of the chest. He pulled it out and removed the dust. Once he opened it, he was surprised to what he had discovered.
"Draco… Is that?' Luna asked
"A vial of memories…" Draco said. He picked up the vial and turned it around, in order to examine it. Luna examined it as well, but then took it from him and read.
"Memories of… Salazar Slytherin… Draco, these belong to Salazar Slytherin himself! We must find out, what these memory contains! What if they contain the location of the missing pages" Luna said. Draco looked at her and shook his head.
"Yes I know Luna, but how do we do that? We don't even have one of those pensive dishes that help you look at these things…" Draco said.
"There is! The one in Dumbledore's office. I remember Harry telling me that he saw a pensive dish inside of Dumbledore's office one time, maybe we might be able to use it" Luna said. Draco thought about it and then asked.
"Well then how do you expect we get in without Dumbledore questioning us on what we are up too?" Draco asked worriedly. Luna stopped and thought for a moment. What could they do to get in the office? Soon, Helena flew up to them and suggested.
"Why don't me and the Baron distract Professor Dumbledore…?" She suggested. The Baron nodded in agreement.
"What!? That's crazy! What kind of excuse would you possibly give him?" Draco asked.
"Just leave that to the two of us, and you two can sneak in and look at the memory" Draco looked at Helena with a worried expression but sighed in defeat. Luna looked at him, which in turn, he looked back. He nodded and Luna nodded back.
"Very well… We will go through with that plan…" Luna said to the two ghost. They nodded as well and the 4 soon made their way back up to the surface. Once they left the lavatory, they then started to walk to Professor Dumbledore's office, in order to conduct their plan.
