A/N: I can't remember everything, so some of this will be wrong
Ginny grew more distant from Dawn, so much that they only saw each other when they went to sleep, or practiced wandless magic.
Five people and a ghost had been petrified by June, Willow and Hermione among them.
"I wish you were here with us Willow" Xander said sadly to the statue-like form of his best friend, he then turned to the others "What are we going to do without the smart people?" He asked "not only are we going to flunk history of magic, but also we will not be able to figure out who opened the chamber"
Harry had become a good friend to all of them, suddenly he noticed something in Hermione's hand "hey, look at this" he said, trying to get it out without ripping it.
"Hold on" Spike said, waving his wand, the paper shrunk, and Harry was able to get it out, "Restore" the paper enlarged to it's normal size.
"Thanks" Harry said, and began to read it "The thing in the chamber is a basilisk, it's a giant snake, that's why I can hear it talk, and spiders run away from it, it all fits"
"But if it's a giant snake, someone would of seen it" Xander said
"Willow seems to have answered that for us" Harry said, pointing to a word in Willow's handwriting
"Pipes? It's using the plumbing" Ron said
"And no-one is dead because no-one looked it directly in the eye" Buffy said
"All students must return to they're dormitories at once! Teachers to the second floor corridor immediately
Professor Mcgonagall's voice rang throughout the castle.
They ran quickly to the second floor corridor, where the words on the wall were, and hid behind the wall and looked at the teachers
"as you can see, the heir of slytherrin left another message, our worst fears have been realized, a student has been taken by the monster into the chamber itself" Mcgonagall said sadly
"So sorry, Dozed off, what did I miss?" Lockhart said
"a girl has been snatched by the monster, your moment has come at last" Snape said
"m-my m-moment?"
"Yes, weren't you saying just last night how you know all along where the entrance to the chamber of secrets was?" Snape said
"it's settled then, we'll leave you to deal with the monster Professor, your skills after all are legend" Mcgonagall said
"V-very well, I'll be in my office, g-getting ready" Lockhart said
"Who is it that the monster has taken?" Madam Pomfrey asked
"Ginevera Weasley"
When Dawn heard the news she instantly started crying, her best friend was gone, others tried to comfort her, but she only stopped crying when she saw Amanda, Jessica and Crystal smirking.
Professor Mcgonagall was still in the room
"Professor! I think it is very likely that Amanda, Jessica or Crystal is the heir of Slytherrin, as they seem to be happy about Ginny being taken" Dawn said
Professor Mcgonagall looked at the three snobs smirking and glared at them, instantly, they stopped being so happy
After Mcgonagall left, Ron turned to the others "Do you think there is a chance she is still alive?"
"Maybe" Harry said
"I can't stand this! I am going to find that chamber" Buffy said, standing up "Who's with me?"
"I am, I met Ginny, and she is a very nice girl, who does not deserve to die" Anya said
Xander, Harry, Ron, Spike and Oz all agreed, Dawn would have, had she not cried herself to sleep.
"Okay, I think we should go tell Lockhart what we know, he may be useless, but if he is gonna try to get into the chamber…" Buffy said"Agreed"
"You're running away!"
"After all of the things you did in your books?"
"Books can be misleading" Lockhart said.
"You wrote them!" Harry said.
"My dear boy, do use your common sense! My books wouldn't have sold half as well if they didn't think I did those things" said Lockhart.
"You mean to say, that you have been taking credit for what other wizards have done?" Anya asked.
"well, and then I used memory charms on them, so they forget that they did those things" Lockhart said "in fact I'm gonna have to do the same to you" he pointed his wand at them.
Oz muttered a spell and his wand flew from Lockhart's hands, at once, everyone's wands were pointed at Lockhart.
"You were saying?" Spike said(A/N: everything in the chamber happens exactly as in the books, I'm feeling lazy, and I want to start on the sequel )
when Dawn saw Ginny, Ginny once again had a near-death experience, for Dawn instantly hugged Ginny.
A/N: like I said, no slash, Dawn simply is best friends with Ginny, and what would you do if your best friend was supposed to be dead, and then you saw him/her alive? I apologize for such a short fanfic, I'll try to make the sequel longer, Thanks to my few reviewers.
The sequel will start very soon, may the force be with you… oops, wrong fanfic.
