CHAPTER 38: The Chamber of Secrets Part One

The Muggle term 'time fly's when you're having fun' chirped into Harry's head as he strolled nervously down the halls of Hogwarts. Easter vacation had finally started, and only a few students were left in the school. But that was not why Harry was nervous, no by tonight Harry would be married and he could not believe that it was time already. Invitations had gone out the month before, everyone who got an invite was coming, and those who had not were begging for one. The press was having a field day.

THE BOY WHO LIVED IS GETTING MARRIED!

This was the headline of one of the Daily Prophets. Lily and Daniel seemed to be getting into the spirit of things, they had gotten to collecting everything they could about this joyous event with the help of their aunt and uncles of course. Together they were putting together a giant wedding scrapbook that would be given to the happy couple after their honeymoon.

Three Hours until Wedding

Harry was sitting on his couch thinking about what was about to happen when Ron and Draco ran in to the room out of breath.

"Har-Harry, Daniel somehow found out about the Chamber of Secrets, we think he went down there, we've looked everywhere for him," Ron half yelled.

"What? You two only had one job today, watch the kids!" Harry yelled jumping up.

"Where sorry, I think someone slipped them a massive amount of sugar, they are everywhere." Draco explained.

"Tell me, then who is watching the other four now, since the both of you are here?" Harry looked like he might explode at any minute. Ron and Draco looked at each other in horror before turning around and running off. Harry grabbed his wand and ran out of the room himself; he quickly made his way up to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. He looked around, the door to the chamber was closed, a picture of his son trapped down there flew into Harry's head and without another thought Harry quickly opened the chamber and crawled in. Soon he was sliding down what felt like an endless slide; he finally landed in a pile of rocks and bones. Pulling his wand from his sleeve, he said "lumos," a light shot from the end of his wand. Harry briefly realized that he could have alot more light if he did this wandlessly but he did not want to use up to much energy in case he needed it later.

"Daniel?" Harry yelled, only silence answered. "Daniel?" He yelled again, with the same result. Harry began to make his way through the chamber, crawling over rocks, through small holes, all the while yelling out his son's name. By the time he had gotten to the main chamber where he had fought the basilisk in his second year, thereby rescuing his to be wife; he was incredibly tired. He looked around the large room but found no tracks of anyone being there. "Daniel?!?" Harry yelled again. "Oh God, where is he?" Running around the room checking all the corners, he then made his way into the tunnels, and started his search there.

-Two Hours until Wedding-

"I can't believe he bought the Chamber of Secrets story," Ron smiled.

"Yeah, we got him out of his chambers, so that Hermione could get the room set up...but Harry should be back by now. Surly he would have figured out that Daniel couldn't have gone down there, only a parselmouth can open the door," Draco was also smiling. Suddenly all the color left Ron's face his smile disappearing.

"What if Harry went down there?" Ron whispered, "We don't know if Daniel is a Parselmouth or not, what if the reason Harry is not back yet is because he is down the chamber of secrets searching for his son!" All the color had now left Draco's face as well. The two jumped up and ran out of the chamber only to run into Hermione, who was taking her turn in watching the kids.

"Hey, what's the hurry? Did Harry like his chambers?" Hermione smiled.

"He hasn't come back yet." Draco looked on the verge of panic.

"We think he actually went down there." Ron yelled.

"Down where? What exactly did you to give Harry as a distraction?"

"We-toldhimthatDanielwasdowninthechamberofsecrets." Rom mumbled.

"Excuse me?"

"We told him that Daniel might have gone down into the Chamber of Secrets." Draco translated, his head hanging low.

"You did what?!? Are you nuts? Of course he is down there, I would be! Oh God, what if he's hurt? Ginny is so going to kill you, I'll let you explain this to her." With that, they all stomped into Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, where the door to the Chamber of Secrets stood wide open. Daniel, Lily, Soroush, Julie and John stood in the background with their mouths hanging open.

"Wow, let's go down there!" John exclaimed.

"NO!" Ron, Draco and Hermione yelled as one.

"I'll go take these five to Mrs. Weasley and bring Ginny up here, I'll let you tell her why." Hermione yelled angrily, before motioning for the kids to leave, and she did too.

~Harry~

-Hour and forty-five Minutes until Wedding-

Harry had searched the tunnels up and down several times before a horrifying thought came to him, what if Daniel had not made it this far? What if the roof fell in on him before he got here? Harry ran back into the rubble, this time careful where he stepped, not wanting to step on his son. Harry got down on his hands and knees and slowly started to dig, throwing rocks in places he had already searched. His wedding robes were now completely ruined, his hands, knees, leg's and arms were bleeding, but he didn't care, only one thought was going through his mind...have to find Daniel.

~Ron and Draco~

-Hour Thirty until Wedding-

"Harry?" Ron yelled into the entrance of the Chambers.

"Harry!" Draco yelled also for the hundredth time. Ginny and Hermione ran into the bathroom.

"What's going on here? Where is Harry?" Ginny stopped at the sight of the Chamber of Secrets being open. "Wh-What's going on?"

"Umm, well you see...we needed to get Harry out of his chambers..." Ron started.

"So we told him we had lost Daniel and he may have gone down into the Chamber of Secrets." Draco finished.

"We didn't think Harry would actually go down there!" Ron wailed. Ginny looked like she couldn't decide on whether she should faint or be mad.

"Well of course he would go down there! That place is a mess, it's crumpling down, God Harry could be seriously hurt! You two are complete idiots; you know that, accio broom! Harry's Firebolt flew into the bathroom, and into Ginny's hand, without saying another word she jumped into the entrance and disappeared before anyone could stop her.
