A/N: Ok, I'm back! I've been so busy, but everything will be slowing down
soon enough, and I'll have more time to update. Like I promised in my last
chapter, you'll find out what the three saw that made everything so messed
up. Please r/r!

"First I want to tell you all that Lily will live." Dumbledoor sat across from the Evans and the Potters. He had a sparkle in his eye, but there was no hint of a smile on his face. "For others, this news isn't so good. A third year Gryffindor has been expelled from school, and a young lady by the name of Myrtle has unfortunately died."
"Oh my." Mrs. Potter said with tears filling her eyes.
"How, what exactly is causing all of this?" Mr. Evens asked sounding very sad, and with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"I'm very sorry," the headmaster said sadly, "let me start at the beginning. Long ago it was rumored that there was a hidden chamber in the school. It was called the chamber of secrets. I could go on for quite a long time telling you the stories of how the castle was searched all over, but that would be wasting all of our time, and we have more important things to discuss at the moment. Anyway, one thing I must tell you is that there was rumored to be a monster in the chamber, a monster that would be controlled by only the most evil spirited person ever. After searching the castle many a time, and finding no such chamber, the headmaster at that time decided there was no such chamber, and it was almost forgotten. Over the summer, a message appeared on the wall, saying the chamber had been opened. Earlier on the day of the accident, Myrtle was taken by the monster, and killed. That will explain the scream that many of the kids heard over breakfast. We believe we have caught the person responsible, and that student, Hagrid is his name, has been expelled from the school, and his wand has been snapped." He stopped then and looked at them, and saw the terror in their eyes.
"Well, how did that happen to Lily? How did she faint, and not the other two who were with her?" Mrs. Evans asked quietly.
"That, my dear lady, we don't know." Dumbledoor looked sad, "We still don't know what monster it was that caused all of this, but Madame Pomphrey believes she can heal Lily with a simple potion. We should have her up in a day or two. I know that sounds long, but worse things could have happened." At this his voice trailed off, and the sparkle in his eye seemed to be gone. "If there is nothing else, you ahould all return to either your rooms, or the hospital wing. All of your meals will be served to you in your rooms until you leave here. If there is anything you need, anything at all, just tell either myself, or one of the other professors and we will do all we can to help you."
With that the four devastated patents stood and left the room. Without a word to each other they all made their way to the hospital wing. It was too much for them all to handle, a girl dying, and Lily not even being back up for another two days?
When they got to the hospital wing, the two families went separate ways. The Evans made their way over to Lily's bed, and pulled up two chairs so they could sit and be with her. The Potters tired to get by James, but the nurse wasn't keen on him having visitors.
"He needs his rest! I understand that u want to talk with him but now really isn't the time.
"How dare you say we cannot see our son?" Mr. Potter said in a serious tone. If there was any doubt in his voice, his face got rid of it. He looked as if he would kill anyone who got in the way of him talking to his son.
"Ok, fine," the nurse said, looking very scared, "but try not to be loud, or get him upset. Also, if he tries to sleep, let him. Now, may I add, is not the time for questions either."
Glaring at the nurse Mr. and Mrs. Potter pulled two chairs up by their son's bed so they could talk for a few moments. Much to their annoyance, the nurse insisted on them leaving, because it was time for James to sleep. Although they didn't like being told what to do, they both agreed, seeing as James's eyes were getting heavy, and he was half asleep the entire time they were talking.
The Evans were very sad they had to, but they decided they should go when the parents of the girl came. They didn't know what they would be able to say. Also, they thought they'd seem rude if they only wanted to talk about Lily, when she had only fainted, and their daughter had died.
They made their way to their rooms quickly, and were amazed at the size of them. They knew that the castle was very big, but they had no idea that it was this big. They quickly unpacked their things, and sat down to the large dinner that was brought up to them by some sort of elf thing.
"I don't want Lily at this school anymore. I can't see it being safe at all." Mr. Evans said.
"I agree, but."
"But what? From what I see nothing good has come from this school. We've spent all this money to send her here, and buy her all of these things, and now this happens?" He was starting to get upset, and was raising his voice. "I love her too much to let something like this happen again!"
"This might never happen again though." Mrs. Evans said trying her best to sound calm. "We should give this school another chance. She's only been here like a week."
"That's exactly it!" Mr. Evans yelled, "She's only been here a week, and she almost died! Another girl did! How can you not want to take her away?"
"We can't.not without talking to her. She might want to stay."
"I don't care what she wants! She doesn't know whats right for her! She's only 10, she doesn't understand!"
"She'll be 11 soon you know." Mrs. Evans said trying one last time to calm her husband down.
"I don't care about her age!" He retorted standing up. "She doesn't know what best for her! She's coming home right after these weirdoes fix what they caused to happen to her!"
With that he sat back down and continued his meal. It was apparent in his face that the conversation was over, and that his decision was final, and that his mind was made up. Mrs. Evans had learned years ago that arguing would only make things worse, so she dropped it, but still didn't agree with the decision that was made.
