Hermione
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day, a Sunday, Harry & Hermione walked down to breakfast together, just enjoying each other's company & their food. The bacon, toast, & muffins were delicious, so after they had been devoured, the couple went out to sit by the lake again. Then, they heard the worst sound you could hear. It was a bloodcurdling scream coming from the castle.
@Harry, Hermione, go to the Chamber of Secrets, QUICK! @ They heard inside their heads.
What's up Draco? Hermione asked as she & Harry ran at break-neck speed towards the castle.
@I refused to become a Death Eater, & since Voldemort is my real father, he decided to come & attack the school, blaming the loss of a future faithful Death Eater on Dumbledore. @ Draco said.
*That's stupid, * Harry said.
@Yeah, I know, but I can't help it. Fortunately, Salazar taught me a useful little trick that I can use until you make it here. @ Draco said, & you could almost hear him smirk.
By this time, Harry & Hermione were on the third floor, almost in the girl's bathroom where the entrance to the Chamber was located. Harry whispered something in Parseltongue, which must have meant "Open up" or something because then all the sinks began to shift to show a giant hole in the floor.
"Here goes nothing," Harry said, then plunged down to the depths of the Chamber.
"Why me?" Hermione said, then jumped down after Harry. Hermione felt her feet crunch the bones of the dead creatures littering the ground.
"Come on Hermione," Harry said quietly.
After going through many more doors & Harry saying many more snake- like phrases, they arrived at where Draco was being chained to the ground.
"Wait Harry!" Hermione whispered urgently.
Hermione quickly made herself become invisible, & Harry said an incantation to himself, then steel armor began to slowly appear all over him.
"Whoa! Where did you go?" Harry said quietly, as the strange man still hadn't noticed them.
"It's an invisibility charm Rowena taught me," Hermione answered. "What's up with the armor?"
"Invincible armor spell. Godric taught me," Harry explained.
"Okay then. Let the war begin."
Both of them suddenly rushed forwards to Draco's aid, except it only looked like Harry was running as Hermione was invisible, & the man wouldn't be able to tell it was Harry anyway, because he was in all battle garb now, from head to toe. He also had a sheath hanging from his waist, which Hermione knew contained the sword of Godric Gryffindor. Hermione pulled out her wand, & Harry did the same.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" Both Harry & Hermione shouted at the same time.
The strange man flew off his feet so that the two had time to untie Draco. It was only then that they noticed a very NON-sober Voldemort slouched in the corner.
"What did you do to him?" Harry asked incredulously.
"I used a spell to make him drunk for a while. Salazar taught me so that if there was ever anyone trying to attack me, I could make them drunk so they wouldn't be able to do anything for a while," Draco said, stifling a laugh.
"I've got to learn that one," Harry said.
Draco still couldn't see Hermione, & she realized that, then became visible again.
"Whoa! And I've got to learn that one!" Draco said.
"Okay, I'll tell you now, because it might save your life & it would seem that You-Know-Who is waking up now. Just say Invicto Invisibilidad while pointing your wand at yourself, then concentrate on becoming invisible," Hermione said, trying to go fast, as she didn't want an enraged Voldemort at her back.
"Invicto Invisibilidad," Harry & Draco muttered.
They all 3 became invisible just as Voldemort truly came back to his senses.
"PETTIGREW!" Voldemort shouted. "Drat! Where has that darned Malfoy gone? Oh well, I'll get my revenge sooner or later. Mobilicorpus." With that, he stormed out, with Peter Pettigrew trailing after him.
"Let's go," Hermione heard, although she couldn't tell who it was, as all were totally invisible.
They snuck out, back to the bathroom, & into the Great Hall, where they finally became visible again.
"Professor Dumbledore, sir," Hermione said, walking up to where all the teachers sat. "It's You-Know-Who, he's in the castle!"
"It's okay, I will handle this," he said calmly. He turned to the students quietly eating their lunches. "Everyone to your common rooms immediately. Hermione, Harry, Draco, as Prefects, would you please lead your fellow classmates?"
"Yes Professor," all of them chimed.
Once again, they parted with Draco & led their classmates back to Gryffindor Tower. Once they got there, Hermione was surprised to find that Godric & Rowena were there waiting for them.
"Hullo Harry, Hermione," Godric said.
"Hullo," they chorused.
"We have decided to do you an early double lesson right here, because we don't want you to go wandering around with that evil wizard on the loose. Well, actually, not right here, we have something we want to show you," Rowena said.
"Salazar wasn't the only one with a secret chamber. All of us had our own, that no one else knew of. I only just found out that the others had one. Since we wanted you to have a double lesson today, we'll do have the lesson in my chamber. Follow me," Godric said.
Harry, Hermione, & Rowena all followed Godric past classrooms, statues, & portraits, until they reached the 3rd floor corridor that had been restricted in their 1st year. Then, they went down the trapdoor, but instead of finding all the obstacles that had been there so many years ago, they found a large statue of a lion.
"Okay, not to sound critical or anything Godric, but we've been here before, so it couldn't have been too secret," Harry said.
"I know you've been here before. Dumbledore only knows about this place because he is the heir to Merlin, & he never misses a beat. Your Professors did those other enchantments, but they didn't know where the things would be going. Dumbledore used a kind of magical box to hold the enchantments, then they flew around the chamber to where they settled down," Rowena explained.
"Sort of like a Pandora's Box affect?" Hermione asked.
"I guess it could be put that way," Godric said.
"Anyhow, to get where we need to go, I'll need to open this here statue. Harry, you know you can speak Parseltongue because when Voldemort tried to kill you, he gave some of his power to you. Well, being my heir, you can also speak the language of the phoenix. Give it a go why don't you? Just tell it "Move away please?" & it will do as you ask," Godric said.
A sort of humming song came out of Harry's mouth, and the large statue jumped aside to reveal al set of stairs, much like the ones leading to Dumbledore's office.
"Very good Harry!" Godric said.
They climbed the stairs to see that they had come out into a very tall tower, with windows all along every side, so that they had an excellent view of the entire Hogwarts grounds.
"It's beautiful," Hermione marveled.
Indeed, it was beautiful. There were giant fluffy couches, armchairs, & large mahogany tables with lions & phoenixes carved on the legs. The couches had bunches of little red pillows with gold tassels & gold pillows with red tassels.
"Onto the lesson!" Rowena said."It's the moment you've all been waiting for.we're doing Animagi today! " She pulled two bottles of purplish liquid out of her pocket. "If you would just drink these & hold out your hand, a model of the animal you are to become will appear in your hand."
Hermione took the potion vial & drank it hesitantly. It tasted very.organic. Then, an exact replica of the unicorn on her pendant appeared in her hand. She looked over to see that the exact replica of Harry's phoenix pendant in his hand.
"Of course! The pendants! How could we have forgotten?" Rowena said to Godric. "Those pendants were meant for you, & we knew that was because the prophecy was made about you. Those animals represented you, but we had forgotten why. They are your animagi!" She said, turning to the two students.
Harry sniggered. "That means Malfoy is a ferret!"
Hermione burst out laughing.
"Why, may I ask, is that so funny?" Godric asked.
"Last year, Barty Crouch Jr. was disguised as Professor Moody, & he turned Malfoy into a ferret in the middle of the Great Hall," Hermione explained in between peals of laughter.
"Ah, yes well," Godric said.
"In order to actually turn into your animagi, you need to repeat after me, just take out your wand. You need to say: Deenfo emit ymni flesruoy wohs, nihtiwla mina," Rowena said.
"Deenfo emit ymin flesruoy wohs, nihtwla mina," they both echoed. (A/N: special cameo to the 1st one to figure out what that means)
"Great work you two! Now all you need to do when you want to turn into your animal is to think very hard about it," Godric said. "Now, since that must have been very tiring, you can rest here, look around out the windows, whatever you please."
They spent the rest of the time lounging in chairs, gazing at the clouds & grounds through the windows & talking about things. Hermione was glad she could have someone to talk to for once, now that the battle of good & evil had truly commenced.

A/N: Okay, if you just totally skipped over my authors note in the middle of the chapter, then I should tell you, the first person to correctly guess what the animagi spell means, then you get a special cameo appearance in this. Get cracking!
