Chapter 3

"The chamber has been opened."

That night, Elizabeth sneaked out of the Gryffindor tower, hidden under her invisibility cloak. She walked through the corridors until she reached the girl's bathroom. She took her invisibility cloak off. "Lucius?" she whispered. Out of nowhere a man with blond hair appeared. "Shall we?" he asked. Elizabeth nodded. They entered the girl's bathroom. Elizabeth walked to the sink. " Open," she said in Parseltongue. The sink moved, and the entrance to the chamber appeared. "Just a moment," Lucius said. He walked to one of the toilets and opened it. Elizabeth saw two unconscious students lying on the ground. Lucius levitated the students and sent them to the chamber of secrets. "Ladies go first," he said while looking at the hole in which the students had disappeared. Elizabeth walked to the hole and jumped in it. She heard Lucius follow.

With a loud bang, Elizabeth landed on the floor which was covered with bones. She quickly stood up. Lucius landed on the floor. He didn't look too pleased. "I assume you know your way around here?" he asked. "Of course" Elizabeth said, "Follow me."

She walked through the huge pipes and after a few minutes they saw some kind of a round door with snakes on it. "Do you know how to open it?" Lucius asked. "I do," Elizabeth answered, "But what if someone finds out? If someone has seen you and me enter the chamber?"

"There is no one who has seen us" Lucius replied. "No! There is someone who has seen us." Elizabeth said, "Myrtle. Moaning Myrtle she must have seen or at least heard us." "Who is Moaning Myrtle?" Lucius asked. "Moaning Myrtle is a ghost. She is almost all the time in the girl's bathroom." "Don't worry. I will take care of her," Lucius said. Elizabeth starred at him with a shocked expression on her face. "But she is a ghost. You don't want to do what I think you want to do, right?" " It's just like I said, I'll take care of her," Lucius said and added in an impatient voice, "Maybe you can open the door now?" Elizabeth nodded. Elizabeth hissed something in Parseltongue. The snakes moved and the door opened. Elizabeth walked through the portal. She heard Lucius follow her.

Elizabeth looked around. There was a path and there were statues along both sides of the wall. The path led to a huge statue of Salazar Slytherin. Elizabeth walked to the statue and kneeled on the square in front of the statue. She opened a book that she had hidden under her robes and laid a knife on the ground. She sighed. "Let's start the ritual then."

"Has anyone seen Elizabeth?" Ron asked next day at the breakfast. "No," Hermione said, "maybe she went to the classroom early." "Let's check if she did," Harry said, "I still need to ask her something." They stood up and walked to the classroom.

The trio saw a small crowd looking at a wall and what was written on it in blood. 'The chamber has been opened. Enemies of the heir beware.'

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other with a shocked expression on their face. "What is going on here?" an icy voice said, unfortunately it was Professor Snape's voice. He looked at the message on the wall. And then he looked at what was lying under it. Three students. One didn't breath anymore and the other two were barely alive. One of them was from Hufflepuff. One of them was from Ravenclaw. And the last one was a girl from Gryffindor, with dark red hair and emerald eyes.
