The stone panel slid open and revealed the doorway which, finally was the Chamber of Secrets. Harry lifted his hand and with an ancient muttering, lit up the gloomy and dim chamber. He turned and pointed his wand at Hermione and said.
"Enervate."
Hermione gave a feeble groan and started to stir. Harry conjured up two chairs and sat down in one, patiently.
Hermione woke up and saw Harry sitting in one of the chair. She stood up and looked around and saw what Harry and Ginny had told her after Harry had single handedly ventured into to save Ginny. The remains of the dead Basilisk slain by Harry in his second year. She turned and tried to find her wand only to discover that Harry held out his left hand with her wand.
"Now you want to talk about me, Hermione?" asked Harry cheerfully the moment that Hermione discovered that her wand was in his hand. Harry noticed that Hermione had balled her hands into fists.
"I would relax my hands, if I were you."
"Fortunately, you are not me," snarled Hermione.
Harry narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Why? Why? Of all people you and Ron refused to believe my innocence? Had you not witness the truth then when Remus and Sirius forced it out of Pettigrew in our third year? Or had you forgotten about how I prevented Tom Riddle from removing both you and your family from the surface of the earth in our sixth year?"
At these words, Hermione looked shocked. At first, her main purpose is to use the Veritaserum on James to find out his real identity but was outsmarted by him. And, now, James knew all her sixth year problem, and worse, said that he was the one who rescued her family.
"Who are you really?"
"I thought that I was one of your best friends Hermione," Harry snapped angrily. He reverted back to his original form in a split second. After transforming back, he continued to shout at Hermione, "I thought that beside Albus Dumbledore and Remus who believe in my innocence and stood up to say a few things which have helped me in my case. Why did you, the rest of Hogwarts and the whole wizarding world turned their backs to me?"
"Why? Because all of you believe in the words of a traitor!" snapped Hermione. At these words, Harry broke down and cried openly. Hermione had never seen Harry cry before. This was the first time. Slowly and quietly, she moved forwards and tried to get her wand as well as Harry's wand. She managed to retrieve her wand and caught hold of Harry's wand. Breathlessly, she stood up and pointed her wand at Harry.
"Why should I believe you? Peter was questioned under the Veritaserum!"
"Veritaserum? That was a Veritaserum!? That potion made by Lucius Malfoy?"
Hermione nodded.
"That potion was a fake! It was a plot to keep me out of the way devised by Tom Marvolo Riddle. He wants me out of the way so that he can control the whole wizarding world without me as his stumbling stone. As long as I'm alive, Tom Marvolo Riddle knows that his reign will never be long!"
"I don't believe you, You-Know-Who is dead in our Seventh year!"
Harry let out a hollow laugh.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle? Dead? Never! I had only weakened him so severely that he had lost all his power as I had caused him when I was one. When I was about to imprison him in Hell realm, Pettigrew blasted me from behind causing me to become unconscious, letting Tom Riddle to have the chance to escape!"
"Stupefy!" shouted Hermione and a blast of red light emerged from the end of Hermione's wand. Hermione had planned to stun Harry just when he least expected it. However much to her surprise, Harry avoided the stunner.
Harry turned to face Hermione and he said, "Trying to stun me? If you stunned me, you can never ever get out of this room. Just look the entrance in the Chamber of Secrets; you need the ability to speak Parseltongue to get out of here. I have sealed the two entrances; one at Moaning Myrtle's sink, the other, here, just after I entered. Not even the advance killing curse or the Avada Kedavra can blast it open, so weight your chances, you can try to use any curse, hex, jinx or any enchantment you can think of. Go on take your time."
Hermione turned and tried to use her extensive knowledge on curses, spells, hexes and any magic that went through her mind, but none worked.
"See, Lord Salazar Slytherin had build this room with his ancient magic, our modern magic are totally useless," Harry said. "In this world, the only other wizard with the power of ancient magic within his blood other than Professor Dumbledore, is me."
"You!?" Hermione almost screamed.
"Yes, me," Harry said grimly. Holding up his hand, Harry spoke an ancient language. Immediately, no matter how impossibly, storm clouds began to swirl and gather. Occasionally, lightning flashed through the now dark and gloomy Chamber.
"You think that any one could do this?" Harry spoke, his voice echoed with the Chamber. "You are wrong, Hermione Granger Weasley."
Hermione scowled at the use of her full name, but she couldn't help but to be impress with the sheer show of magic. Finally, something in Hermione struck, she finally realized, as the final piece fell in place.
"This was what saved my family previously," Hermione whispered.
"Are you convinced?" Harry snarled at Hermione's whisper. "With this amount of power, I could easily turn dark to help Tom Riddle, but I didn't."
All of a sudden, she ran and leaped onto a surprised Harry.
"Oh, Harry I was so blind!" she cried. After all the time, in Azkaban, Harry had yet to receive any hugs. But as his friends had betrayed him, Harry hadn't forgiven them so easily... yet. But for now, he had to play along. Harry awkwardly placed his hand on Hermione' head. Immediately, a surge of thoughts appeared before his mind eye.
In a swift movement, Harry pushed Hermione away. His hands brought up in front of him. Instantly, Harry's wand flew immediately back to his hand. Harry had never expected that Hermione planned to wait until they got out before attacking him. 'She has changed,' was the first thought that ran through Harry's mind. 'So did I.'
"Let's go," Harry said through gritted teeth. Hermione was startled. Had Harry read her thoughts? Nah, impossible.
Harry hissed and the door parted. Walking out swiftly, Harry almost ran to the exit of the Chamber of Secrets, but who wouldn't? Being trapped in an enclosed area with a friend who doesn't believe your innocence and worst of all attempts to have you arrested, would have driven the old Harry crazy. Gone was the forgiving Harry; in its place was a new Harry who played his cards close to him. Harry once swore that he would never turn to the dark side and he intent to keep this vow.
Harry clapped his hands together and a large spiral staircase appeared and Harry sprinted up, with Hermione close to his tail. Upon reaching back into the toilet, Harry waited until Hermione came out before he close the Chamber of Secrets.
"Stupefy!" Hermione shouted as she pointed her wand towards Harry's back. "What the?"
Hermione gasped as the stunner went straight Harry's back and Harry disappeared.
"Do you seriously think that I wouldn't upgrade my skills and defense after all these years in Azkaban? Do you seriously think that I sat through that horrible place playing with my thumbs while I waited for death?" a cold angry voice appeared to hiss from nowhere and everywhere. Hermione spun around. She couldn't see any person around. Nervously, she edged towards the door. But unexpectedly, the door suddenly slammed close leaving her no way to escape.
"None of you have any idea to the extent of my powers. I have discovered the powers no mortal can ever dream of! I can defend myself against the Killing Curse; I'm totally immune to the Veritaserum. There is nothing that can break me!"
'Ok! That's a big fat lie!' Harry thought personally. 'There is a lot of thing that could break me... But I have yet to find them.'
"The Dementors calls me the man without feelings, fears. I became known among the Dementors as the Heart of Steel and Ice."
Suddenly, a swish of the wind, Hermione found herself up in the air. Harry's voice sounded from nowhere, "By my blood, I shall bind the ancient magic of bonding in which as a contract in that both signers will not betray each other until the fall of the Dark Lord Tom Marvolo Riddle!"
A flash of light engulfed the both of them briefly before it faded away.
"For now until Lord Voldemort is defeated, you wouldn't be able to speak out my secret, Hermione Granger Weasley!"
Then Hermione knew no more.
-----------------------------------
The Quidditch season has began finally at October. Harry was teaching the fifth years about the creatures with the Forbidden Forest when a knock on the door distracted him. Motioning the class to read from the book, Harry opened the door and saw a familiar face.
"Firenze!" Harry exclaimed. "What a surprise to see you in Hogwarts! What brings the reclusive Centaurs to my humble classroom?"
"Greetings, Mr Marrow, I came bearing messages from the stars," said the Centaur. Harry's eyebrow quivered. Harry stepped aside and let the Centaur enter his class. The students immediately looked at the person and gasped as one. Until now none of them had ever seen a Centaur alive.
"What message do you bring, Firenze?" asked Harry as he sat down at the chair by his table. The Centaur pawed the ground nervously. Harry understood the Centaurs and their habits well enough. Immediately, Harry called out to his students.
"Class, I want you to do a four inch parchment about one of the creatures that could be found in the Forbidden Forest, dismissed!"
Immediately, the students cheered as they packed their bags. As the classroom emptied itself, the Centaur whispered into Harry's ear, "The creatures in the Forest are getting restless, Phoenix Lord."
"I see," Harry said. He started to stroke his chin thoughtfully. The last time that this had happened was when Harry had discovered that he was the Phoenix Lord, the Chosen one of Light. Lord Voldemort had struck at Hogwarts just when Harry had discovered his power. That was why Harry had failed to destroy him.
"Not only that, the stars foretell the attacks of the Dark Lord will soon begin. Harry Potter, Phoenix Lord, I hope that this time you are well prepared to defend Hogwarts. Good luck, child." With that, the Centaur turned and galloped away, leaving Harry deep in his thoughts.
