They tumbled into the Common Room breathing heavily.
"Wow!" said Hermione in awe "I can't believe what we just witnessed!"
"Oh and you were the one telling us not to open it," Ron said irritated "And you have to go on and open and take us for a ride!" Sensing a row about to come Harry looks at his watch and breaks in:
"Would you look at the time? It's time for dinner no wonder no one else is in here." The trio walks together down to the Great Hall for dinner.
"Harry, that was powerful magic they used it takes a lot of energy." Hermione whispered
"That's not the point, Hermione!" Harry interrupted "This is a job now we have to go back to Helga Hufflepuff's chamber, someone wants to know the secrets too so they sent us they must of known I was going to be down there that nigh…I they knew I was…library…" Harry trailed off
"Harry where did you actually go that night?" Hermione asked looking Harry strait in the eyes.
"I was in the er… the ChamberofSecrets." He mumbled very fast
"Harry it's okay I won't get mad just tell me where you were," She added "and slower."
"I went to the…" Harry turned his face so he didn't have to look at her "Chamber of Secrets."
"WHAT!" Hermione stood up then sat and whispered angrily "Harry what were you thinking…but I'm fine with it." Flashing him a false smile
"Now what were you saying something along the lines of going back to the chamber." Hermione resumed her eating
"Yeah, we need to sneak out to the tree and to the chamber to see if we can find some way to get to the other chambers." Harry whispered relived
"Are we going with Ron?" Hermione asked
"No, there isn't any room under the invisibility cloak." Harry answered quietly
Later that evening they left for the chambers under the invisibility cloak. They said the words and entered the chamber.
"I knew you'd be back." Helga Hufflepuff said in the depths of the chamber
"I am…" Hermione started
"I know," Hufflepuff interrupted then started in a high voice "Hermione Jane Granger the smartest and cleverest witch ever to grace Hogwarts."
"Well I wouldn't say that…" Hermione blushed
"We were wondering if we could ask you a question," Harry asked timidly "if it's okay with you, of course."
"Quite alright." She said
"Well, how do we get to the other chambers?" Hermione asked
"See the diaries are like portkeys so when you say the words it will transport you to the chamber of the diary you have, all Godric's idea of course." She said thoughtfully "You know what Harry you remind me a lot of Godric and you'll know soon enough what I'm talking about."
"Thanks." Harry said confusedly
"Now, now talk is useless just walk down that corridor to get the next diary." Hufflepuff shooed them away. They walked and walked and walked then they came to a small circular room.
"How do you suppose we get the diary?" Hermione asked
"I hope it doesn't fall on my head again." Harry remarked. They walked around the tiny room until Hermione heard a loud THWACK! Followed by an OOFF!
"Bloody Hell why couldn't it hit Hermione." Harry said
"Hey! I heard that, Harry." Hermione laughed hysterically and tried to frown at what he had said
"I was just playing around." He apologized
"It's okay Harry." She said while picking up the book "Hey come here Harry it's Rowena Ravenclaw's Diary."
"Ravenclaw." Harry grinned mischievously.
