Chapter Three

Crystal: I am SO sorry this chapter took so long! I've been really busy!

Tucker: BUSY! It's SUMMER VACATION! How busy can you be?

Crystal: You don't want to know. Anyway, the Golden Trio is also busy right right now, so here in their place are Danny, Sam, and Tucker from, the cartoon, Danny Phantom!

All: Hi!

Crystal: Okay, just so you know, THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE FIC! There may be some flirting, and a rare, occasional kiss, bur that's all. Also I'm not having Lily and James together too much, since their not really supposed to get together until 7th year.

Danny: Really?

Sam: Yeah, didn't you read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix?

Danny: Uh, no. I'm stillon the 4th book.

Sam: (rolls her eyes)

Crystal: Okay, another F.Y.I., Serenity, does NOT look like Sailor Moon. Her shifter's mark is a vertical crescent moon, like a real moon in the sky. Also, she has long, red hair with gold, and orange streaks, like fire, (I mean she is a fire shifter), purple robes, and eyes that change color to her mood.

Tucker: Sweet.

Crystal: She has a boyfriend.

Tucker: Aw, man.

Crystal: (HBP spoiler warning) I'm now reading the 6th book for the third time, and I know this obviously doesn't happen, however there will be some of the same things in this story. Anyway, on with the story!

Danny: Read and review!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter (sob)

"So, Remus, what did you want to talk about?" inquired Lily.

She, Remus, James, and Sirius were all in the Marauder's dorm, as they got their own, because there wasn't enough room for three more boys in Harry's. Lilly however, was with Hermione, because she was the only girl.

"Well," said Remus slowly, "I've been pondering it, and I think I've found out who Harry's mother is."

"Really?" asked Sirius, obviously excited, "Who?"

"Well," said Remus still slowly, "I think it might be Lily."

Everyone stared at him.

"Think about it." He said, "He definitely has James' looks, but he also has Lily's personality, not to mention her eyes."

"Well," said Lily, "I guess he does act a little like me. And he does have my eyes."

"Yeah," said James thoughtfully, grinning like an idiot, "well, it's pretty late, we'd better turn in."

They said goodnight, and went to bed.

"Saphira!"

Harry was in panic. See, Hagrid had thought Harry might want someone to talk to while at the Dursley's, and any other time he wanted. So he gave Harry a pet snake for his birthday. Harry talked to her, and found out her name was Saphira. He was a bit hesitant about bringing her to Hogwarts, but everything was fine as long as she stayed in Harry's dormitory at day, and went to the forest to hunt at night. No one knew about her, except Hermione, Hagrid, and the boys in Harry's dorm. (they weren't entirely sure about Dumbledore, though they had their suspicions)

But, this morning was different. Saphira always came back from hunting before Harry went down to breakfast, so that they could have a morning chat, but this morning she wasn't there.

Harry thought that maybe Saphira simply wasn't having the best hunt, and was still hungry, so he went to breakfast without their chat. But he went to his dorm and she still wasn't there, so he decided to search for her.

He had now searched half the school, and still couldn't find her.

"Saphira! Saphira! Saphira!" He called in both parsltongue, and English.

"Hi Harry, what's all the fuss about?"

Harry spun around, and came face to face with none other than James Potter.

"Oh, er, n-nothing." stuttered Harry. He didn't want anyone to know about Saphira, if he could help it. "Just, er, looking for someone."

That was when Ron cut in.

"We searched everywhere Harry, but found no trace of Saphira."

"Who's Saphira?" asked Lily.

The Golden Trio exchanged looks.

"Er-" They were interrupted by an ear-splitting shriek.

"EEEEEEK, SNAKE!"

James recoiled, turning pale.

"I hate snakes." He stated.

Harry however wasn't paying attention.

"Saphira!"

He ran in the direction of the scream, the others, however reluctantly, followed suit.

They stopped when they saw who it was that Saphira had cornered, and made the scream.

It was Malfoy!

They couldn't help it, Ron, James, and Sirius laughed, Harry, Remus, Hermione, and Lily simply smirked.

Spotting them, Malfoy put on a face of anger.

"Potter, you get this snake away from me!"

Harry simply laughed. "You shouldn't have stepped on her tail."

At this the Marauders and Lily paused, confused. How did Harry know that? They wondered.

"You'd better tell it to get away from me!"

Harry pretended to think.

"Hmmm, uh, no."

"Why I ought to-"

"What's going on here?" Professor McGonagall asked sternly.

"Professor!" Said Malfoy before anyone had a chance to speak. "Professor, I was just walking, minding my own business, when Potter's snake came and attacked me!"

"That's not true!" exclaimed Harry, "Saphira never attacked anyone, you stepped on her tail!"

"How would you know?" sneered Malfoy, "You weren't there."

"Shaphira told me."

"How do you know it was telling the truth?"

That made Harry angry.

"First of all Malfoy, Saphira's a she not an it. And second she couldn't, it's against a snake's nature to lie to anyone but another snake."

An eerie silence met these words.

"Well, now that that's been settled," McGonagall briskly, "I think you should all get to class. Potter first make sure that snake of yours doesn't go wandering around like that again."

"Yes, Professor." said Harry, and then hissed at Saphira to go back to the dorm.

When she was gone, Harry turned to his friends.

"Er. Shall we get to class then?"

"Hang on." said Remus, "You're a parslemouth?

"Er, well, yeah." said Harry, uncomfortably. When the 'new' students exchanged looked, he hastily added, "But, I'm not evil, if that's what your thinking."

"Oh, no. We don't think that at all!" said Remus, "We were just surprised, that's all." The others nodded.

"Oh," said Harry, relieved, "Well then, we'd better get to class."

And so they did.

It was obvious that something exciting was going to happen that day. And it was. It was the day of the first D.A. meeting. The Golden trio and the marauders could hardly wait.

When Harry came to dinner late, everyone asked why. Harry simply shook his head and told them they'd find out soon enough.

Finally it was time! People came piling into the room of requirement. When everyone was there, Harry stood up and the room went silent.

"As you should know," Harry started, "Last year a Slytherin managed to get into headquarters. Therefore we are going to have to get a new place as headquarters."

People immediately began to shout out suggestions, but Harry held up his hand for silence.

"Ron, Hermione, and I have thought it over and have come up with a conclusion."

The crowd waited expectantly. Harry hesitated.

"Before I tell you, you must understand, Ron, Hermione, me, and even Serenity, have checked it, and it is completely safe."

"Well, where is it?" shouted a student in the back. Harry took a deep breath.

"We think we should make D.A. headquarters, in the Chamber of Secrets."

Crystal: I know I should stop here, but I'll be nice this time. Just be sure to review, Kay?

There was an immediate uproar at this.

"What do you mean the Chamber of Secrets?"

"You expect us to go in there?"

"There isn't even a Slytherin here, and you want us to go to a place made by the founder?"

Once again Harry raised his hand for silence, and got it.

"Look, it's perfectly safe, there's plenty of room, and Hermione already enchanted the entrance so it will only open for members, and built a wall around it, so we don't disturb Moaning Myrtle. Serenity created a magic raiser, an elevator type thing, that can fit any number of people comfortably, to get in or out. And the first thing we're going to do is redecorate, so it's not so, er, Slytherin-ish."

Someone in the audience raised their hand.

"Yes?"

"Er. Harry, what's Moaning Myrtle got to do with anything?"

To everyone's surprise, Harry blushed, Ron sniggered, and Hermione let out a small giggle.

"Er, well see," said an embarrassed Harry, "The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in a place no one would expect, Moaning Myrtles Bathroom."

A surprised silence met these words, followed by some laughter, which must have been contagious, because soon, everyone in the room of requirement was laughing.

As soon as the laughter died down, Harry said, "Shall we go then?" Everyone nodded and followed Harry to a door that said:

D.A.

H.Q

They went in, and Harry turned and said, "Welcome, to the Chamber of Secrets."

Crystal: Well, that's the 3rd chapter! I'll try to update soon, sorry it took so long! Next chapter will have De-slytherinizing. LOL

Danny: (in a voice usually given to a dog when playing fetch) Come on, review, you know you want to!

Sam: Danny! Stop it! Their not dogs! Their reviewers!

Danny: Oh, I thought you said rovers. Heh, heh. (smiles sheepishly)

Sam: (rolls her eyes) Where's Tucker?

Danny: Where do you think? Playing on his PDA.

Sam: Oh.

Crystal: Well, see you next time!
