Harry Potter and the Secret of the Founders
Chapter One- Solitude
He always found himself wandering around the castle at night and he always ended up in the same place…here in Chamber of Secrets. Always in the same position his invisibility cloak lying around his body where he had set himself down, knees to his chest staring out into space, not thinking. Then WHAM! It hit him head on and reality had finally caught up with him and you know what Harry Potter did, he sobbed and sobbed for hours on end. He sobbed for his parents, Sirius, Cedric, Hermione, Ron, and he sobbed himself and his horrible future.
"Arrrggg! Arrrggg!" His anguished cries echoed through the emptiness. He got up angrily and picked up his invisibility cloak, swished it over himself and stomped off when out of nowhere a book hits his head and he slips and falls.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" He said getting up "What in the bloody hell was that?" He rubbed his head lazily and picked up the book on the floor. The faded lettering said:
"The Diary of Helga Hufflepuff." Harry scratched his head confusedly "Helga Hufflepuff?"
"Hufflepuff!" He said as realization hit him "Bloody Hell I have Hufflepuff's Diary!"
"I've got to show this to Hermione." He chuckled and ran and ran. He ran so fast he found himself in front of the Portrait Hole before he could even recall how he had gotten out of the chamber.
"Godric." He quickly muttered the password as he hurried into the common room to find Hermione. She was sitting at a table and as usual she was studying for Snape's Potions test a week before hand.
"Hermione! Hermione!" Harry exclaimed, "I have Helga Hufflepuff's Diary! I was sitting in the…" Harry stopped. Should he tell her? 'No' he told himself as he went to resume his sentence " I was sitting in the er…library when this book fell and IT'S HELGA HUFFLEPUFFS DIARY!"
"Be careful Harry remember what happened with Riddle's Diary!" Hermione sighed, "Besides what's she going to help you with?" Harry thought for a moment then said:
"If Slytherin had a chamber what if the three founders each had one"
"I don't know…this all sounds a little well, odd." Spoke Hermione
"Let's go get Ron."
Now Ron who had been in hospital wing since a stray bludger came towards him. It is just in Ron's nature to not look at the things coming towards him so he assumed that it was a quaffle and opened his arms to catch it. His astonished teammates were too surprised too warn him, so Ron ended up with a few broken ribs.
"Ron should be ready by now" Harry said. When they reached the Hospital Wing they noticed that Ron wasn't there said the beautiful, smart, amazing narrator.
Hermione groaned, "Where could that idiot be?"
"Well…we know Ron, then he's probably in the kitchen with the house elves." Said Harry.
Sure enough there was Ron stuffing his face. Ron smiled gratefully to the house elves that were bringing platefuls of food to him. Ron whispered to Harry and Hermione:
"I told the house elves it was a celebration and LOOK! I'm out of the hospital wing!"
"Look Ron," Harry said seriously "We need to tell you something." Just then a house elf nudged Harry's side holding up a tray of food.
"Come on 'Arry." Ron sputtered through mouthfuls "Eat first." When Harry, Hermione, and Ron finished eating they headed up to the Common Room. Harry explained about how he had come in possession of the book.
"Well let's open it, Harry." Ron said
"WAIT!" exclaimed Hermione. "Don't you remember what happened last time? Harry could get in big trouble!"
"Hermione," groaned Ron "Give it a rest. Do you really think that Helga Hufflepuff was as bad, ugly, and stupid as Salazar Slytherin's Heir? I mean what is she gonna do?"
"Well…" Hermione said timidly "I guess it will be okay."
"Yeah if she tries to do something horrible to us," Harry started "Maybe it won't be that horrible."
"Harry!" Hermione squeaked, "Stop!"
"It's okay I was just joking," Harry chuckled "…Or was I"
