A/N: OMG! I am like, seriously on a roll here! First I write 2 chapters in one night, and now the next one is up in no time at all!! Go to hell writer's block! From now on, the chapters will probably have a little bit with the kids and Harry as well.

Chapter Nine -
Reliving the Chamber and Puppy Love
***************************************************
It was Wednesday morning, and Harry was sitting behind his desk. He sighed as he waited for his first years. He laughed when he recalled what Ron had told him about his suspicions of Eileen and Robert having crushes on each other. Then he remembered he would probably have to tell the Chamber of Secrets story and huffed.
" Good morning Professor Potter! " Nathan Weasley greeted him as he walked in with Suzette Longbottom.
" Good morning Nathan, Mrs. Longbottom. " Harry responded.
" Morning. " Suzette whispered. Harry smiled as Nathan pulled out her chair for her. She blushed lightly and sat down, " Thanks. " He sat next to her. ' Does my entire class have a crush on somebody else? ' he wondered. Raging hormones is definitely not something he wanted to deal with. Just then, William Weasley strolled in, Allison Thomas latched onto his arm. She was whispering in his ear and he was grinning like an idiot. Harry rolled his eyes and suppressed a groan. He dared another glance up at up at them, just as William was leaning down to kiss her.
" William, Miss Thomas, I won't take house points if you cease your public displays of affection immediately. " Harry said firmly. They looked up, blushing, and took their seats next to one another.
" I would watch yourselves if I was you. " Harry advised, " I know from experience, other teachers, especially Snape, aren't as easy-going as me when dealing with things like this. " William raised an eyebrow and went up to Harry's desk, resting his elbows on it.
" Well, according to Uncle Ron, you're practically my uncle, so do tell... " William inquired, " Who would the famous Harry Potter have been caught necking with? " Harry also raised an eyebrow, debating as to whether or not tell him. He smiled when he recalled Snape whipping open that broom closet door, only to find Ginny lying on top of him, kissing him like there was no tomorrow. But that might freak the kid out, it was his aunt after all, and they hadn't had a chance to tell the others they were engaged (only Ron and Hermione knew, and probably Dumbledore, since he seemed to know everything). But on the other hand, freaking out children was fun.
" It might disturb you greatly. " Harry warned. William gave him a look, but clearly wanted him to elaborate. Harry shrugged. " In my 7th year, I got caught in a broom closet by Snape. Took away 50 house points and we both got three detentions. "
" Who is we? " William was clearly getting annoyed.
" Your aunt. " Harry informed him.
" Which one? " William hoped it wasn't one who was married now.
" The only one that's not married. " William's eyes widened in realization.
" AUNT GINNY?!? " he exclaimed. Harry shushed him and sent him back to his seat. Most of the class had arrived by them and gave William a puzzled look, clearly wondering what that was about.
" Alright class. " Harry said, standing up. " We will be studying Basilisks today. " The entire class looked very excited, so Harry couldn't be too mad, he did want his class to be interesting! So he continued.
" Basilisks are gigantic serpents that are produced when a chicken egg is hatched beneath a toad. They are also known as the King of Serpents. The first Basilisk was bred by a Greek Dark wizard and Parselmouth known as Herpo the Foul. " Harry paused his speech so that the students could finish their notes. " The Basilisk is brilliant green in color and males have a scarlet plume upon their heads. They can grow to be fifty feet in length. Not only does it have exceptionally venomous fangs, but large yellow eyes that will inflict instant death upon anyone who looks directly into them. " Pause.
" Basilisks may reach a very old age if the food supply is plentiful. They will eat all mammals, birds, and most reptiles. Herpo the Foul's Basilisk is estimated to have lived for almost 900 years. " Pause. " The creation of Basilisks has been illegal since medieval times, though breeding is easy to hide, for the egg can simply be removed from under the toad and nothing is suspicious about an ordinary chicken egg. Basilisks can only be controlled by Parselmouths and there has only been one Basilisk discovery in the last 410 years. " Harry stopped and waited until all quills were still.
" This is a Basilisk fang. " Harry removed the fang from a box on the corner of his desk. They gasped. " I will pass it around, and even though all the poison has been removed by Headmaster Dumbledore himself, it is still very sharp, so do be careful. " He handed the fang to Jack Wilkes, who took it as if it were a priceless gem.
" Now, are there any questions? " Harry asked, knowing full well there would be many. Many hands shot up in the air. Harry sighed, fully prepared to tell the story of the Chamber and the attacks upon students in his 2nd year. " Yes Mr. Finnigan? "
" Are you a Parselmouth? " Matt inquired.
" Yes. " Harry replied.
" When have you ever used it? " he wanted to know.
" The first time was the summer before my first year at Hogwarts. I accidentally set a boa constrictor on my cousin Dudley at the zoo. " Harry smiled at the memory. The class laughed. " And in my second year, to open the Chamber of Secrets. I haven't used it much since. I sometimes talk to snakes when I see them. "
" Can you say something in Parseltongue? " David Parker asked. Harry really didn't like doing it for show, but the whole class seemed to have perked up at the suggestion. He didn't need to be near a snake to speak it anymore, he'd gotten used to it over the years.
" What would you have me say? " Harry questioned. David shrugged.
" I dunno. Something. " Harry thought, wondering what he should say. He decided on the Hogwarts motto, ' Never Tickle A Sleeping Dragon '. Harry hissed the words softly and the class seemed greatly impressed.
" What'd you say? " asked Nicole Harrison. Harry smiled.
" Never tickle a sleeping dragon. " he replied. They smiled, knowing their school's motto. Harry was surprised to see the usually silent Suzette Longbottom raise her hand.
" Yes Miss Longbottom? "
" Could you tell us about the Chamber of Secrets? The history of it? And what happened when you were in it? "
" As you all know, Hogwarts was founded by Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw. Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted, he believed magical learning should be kept in pureblood families. Slytherin and Gryffindor had a serious argument about this, and Slytherin left the school. Slytherin had built a secret chamber in the castle, which the other founders knew nothing about. He sealed it so that only his heir would be able to unlock the chamber and unleash the horror within, now identified as a Basilisk. " Harry recalled the tale as told by Professor Binns. " But fear not, the Basilisk is no longer alive, and the Chamber of Secrets has been permanently sealed. "
" Didn't you kill the Basilisk? Isn't this his fang? " Robert asked, holding up the fang. Harry nodded.
" Yes. That is the fang of the Basilisk that lived in the Chamber of Secrets. " Harry confirmed.
" So what happened when you went into the Chamber? " William asked. Harry decided to make the story as short as possible.
" In my second year, some were being petrified due to the gaze of the Basilisk. Mrs. Norris was first, she saw it's reflection in a puddle of water. " The students clearly wished she was still petrified, judging by the looks on their faces. It was odd that no one had told them this story, Harry figured no one else enjoyed reliving it either. " Professor Creevey next, he saw it through his camera lens. " (It was Colin that was their old Professor, Harry had learned from Hermione) The students looked shocked at this. " Then Nearly Headless Nick and Professor Finch-Fletchley. Nick obviously couldn't die again, being a ghost, and Justin saw it through Nick. " More gasps. They obviously knew nothing about who had been attacked. " The last were Madam Weasley and Penelope Clearwater. Madam Weasley discovered what the monster in the Chamber was first, and she and Penelope were looking around corners with a mirror when they saw it. " Harry stopped to catch his breath.
" And finally, someone was actually taken into the Chamber itself. " The class's eyes widened in anticipation, and Harry wondered if Ginny would mind him telling. He decided he would, leaving out the diary. " Your Charms Professor, Miss Weasley. " Several small shrieks and more gasps. " Mr. Weasley, your Muggle Studies Professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, and myself discovered where the entrance to the Chamber was with the help of Moaning Myrtle. When we first got there, Mr. Lockhart was knocked unconscious and a cave-in separated me from Ron. I opened the actual Chamber itself using Parseltongue, and found Ginny, also unconscious. " Harry still shuddered to think what would have become of her if he had not been there. " I encountered a 16-year-old Voldemort, known as Tom Riddle. His memory had been living inside his old school diary. He released the Basilisk, and I tricked it into going in another direction. Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes, flew into the Chamber and gave me the Sorting Hat. I pulled the sword of Godric Gryffindor from it. "
" The Basilisk returned, and after much toil, I stabbed the roof of it's mouth with the sword, causing that fang to pierce into my arm. " Harry pointed to the fang, which the last person had seen, so Nathan handed it back to him and he placed it onto his desk and continued. " I dug the fang into the heart of the diary, causing Tom Riddle's memory to fade. I was sure I was going to die, the poison would soon have killed me. Ginny had woken up thankfully when Riddle disappeared though. Fawkes shed his tears upon the wound, and as phoenix tears have healing powers, I was alright. Fawkes flew Lockhart, Ron, Ginny, and myself out of the Chamber. " Harry fell back into his desk chair. Nathan raised his hand.
" Yes? " Harry asked.
" How is it you didn't die from the gaze of the Basilisk? " he asked.
" Fawkes scratched it's eyes out, blinding it. " Harry explained. " And on a side note, the cry of a rooster is fatal to the Basilisk. " The bell rang.
" I will see you Monday. Please do page 174 in your books. " Harry said as they hurried off to their next class.
" What was that? " Eileen asked William, as they walked back to the common room. They had a free period before Potions.
" What? " William looked puzzled.
" 'AUNT GINNY?!' " Robert mimicked. William got a disgusted look on his face.
" I was about to kiss Allison before class started and Professor Potter told me to be careful about PDA because the other teachers, especially Snape, would have been a lot harder on us. " he explained, " Said he knew from experience. "
" So? " Eileen waited for an elaboration.
" I asked him who he'd ever got caught necking with. Said Snape caught him in a broom closet in his 7th year. " he wrinkled his nose, " With... "
" AUNT GINNY?!? " Robert exclaimed. William nodded.
" Wicked!! " Eileen grinned. Robert and William looked at her in horror. " Let's go ask her about it. "
" Seriously. I have to know what the hell that's about. " Robert agreed, turning down an opposite corridor towards the Charms room. Without thinking, the three burst into the room. Third year Slytherins and Ravenclaws turned to glare.
" Can I help you with something? " Ginny inquired, raising an eyebrow. Eileen smiled sheepishly,
" Umm...could we talk to you for a moment Professor? "
" Charlotte, could you keep an eye on things please. " Ginny asked Robert and William's cousin.
" Certainly Professor. " Charlotte replied. Ginny hurried to the door and they followed her into the hall.
" I love you all dearly, but could you refrain from interrupting my classes? " Ginny questioned.
" Sorry Aunt Ginny, we weren't thinking. " William smiled apologetically.
" Well, what is it? " Ginny was getting annoyed.
" A little bird told us Snape caught you making out with Harry Potter in a broom closet in your 6th year. " Robert said matter-of-factly. Ginny paled.
" So? " she tried to remain calm.
" What do you mean SO? So what the freak were you doing making out with Harry Potter? In a broom closet?! " Eileen shrieked.
" We were going out. " Ginny informed them.
" And what's going on with you two now? " William wanted to know. Ginny sighed, ' Might as well. ' she thought.
" We're engaged. " she smiled.
" OH MY FREAKING GOD! " Robert exclaimed.
" HARRY BLOODY POTTER IS GOING TO BE OUR UNCLE! " William and Robert shouted in unison.
" Shh! " Ginny hushed them, " We'll talk about this later. Now get back to the common room. " She rolled her eyes and went back into her classroom.
" That is so romantic. " Eileen sighed. Robert began looked nervous again. William huffed.
" You know guys, this is getting absolutely ridiculous. " William announced. They looked at him with wide eyes, both a little pink in the cheeks.
" What are you talking about? " Eileen asked shakily. William smirked knowingly.
" I think you both know damn well what I'm talking about. " Their eyes darted frantically about the hall, looking anywhere but at each other. William beamed.
" I'm going to go find Allison...and a broom closet. " He turned to walk off towards The Fat Lady. He paused an turned around again, " I suggest you do the same. "
They stood gaping after him, not wanting to address the situation.
" So... " Eileen began after about an uncomfortably long silence.
" Yeah. " Robert answered. He risked a glance at her, and found her staring back at him. ' Why does she have to look so cute all the time, damnit? ' Robert wondered. She bit her lower lip. Robert loved it when she did that. He made up his mind, that they were being ridiculous.
Eileen was curious as to what he was thinking, but her question was answered when she suddenly found herself beneath Robert, pressed up against a wall.
" What are you doing? " she asked, quite stunned. Robert smiled.
" Taking William's advice? " he offered, before covering her lips with his. She smiled against him and wrapped her arms around his neck. His arms snaked around her waist. After about five wonderful minutes of this, they walked back to the common room, Robert's hand wrapped possessively around her waist. When they got back to the common room, William and Allison were sitting on the couch before the fire, talking. Allison head was in his lap and he was running his fingers through her hair. It was very cute.
" 'Bout bloody time. " William observed, noticing where Robert's arm was. Eileen just smiled, and grabbed Robert's arm, and together they hurried up the girls staircase. (JUST TO TALK YOU SICK MINDED LITTLE PEOPLES! Well, maybe a little cuddling, but NOT...THAT!) When Eileen opened the door, she almost fainted with shock. Her and Robert's eyes were bugging out of their head at the site before them. Nathan Weasley was sitting on Suzette's bed, next to Suzette, and they were involved in a very passionate liplock. They couldn't' take it, Robert and Eileen burst into laughter, dropping to their knees in coughing fits. Nathan and Suzette sprang apart. Suzette screamed and Nathan's face resembled a ripe tomato.
" Shut up! " Nathan yelled. He pulled Suzette into his lap to comfort her, she looked like she was about to cry. She buried her head into his shoulder. Now Robert and Eileen felt kind of guilty. Nathan glared at them. They left and returned to the common room.
" Did I hear a scream? " Allison asked.
" It was Suzette. " Eileen announced.
" What happened? "
" We caught her kissing Nathan. "
" NO! "
" Oh yes. "
" Wicked! "
" Totally! "

They couldn't' take it, Robert and Eileen burst into laughter, dropping to their knees in coughing fits. Nathan and Suzette sprang apart. Suzette screamed and Nathan's face resembled a ripe tomato.
" Shut up! " Nathan yelled. He pulled Suzette into his lap to comfort her, she looked like she was about to cry. She buried her head into his shoulder. Now Robert and Eileen felt kind of guilty. Nathan glared at them. They left and returned to the common room.
" Did I hear a scream? " Allison asked.
" It was Suzette. " Eileen announced.
" What happened? "
" We caught her kissing Nathan. "
" NO! "
" Oh yes. "
" Wicked! "
" Totally! "
