That summer wasn't any better. It started out just about the same as the last had. She went to stay at Mrs. Figg's about two weeks before school started. As it was, she had overheard that Harry's Aunt and Uncle were having a dinner party. She didn't know who was invited and didn't really care.
Calleigh watched, snickering to herself at what Harry had said to Dudley which had made him run screaming to his mom.
"Hey, Harry!" Calleigh called from the sidewalk. "I almost forgot what day it was."
Harry looked up at her. They hadn't really talked much since their first day. He just hoped she would make it quick, because he knew he was going to be in trouble for what he had done.
"Happy Birthday," she said grinning. "Well, better get going. It looks like you have someone else that wants to talk to you."
The following day she found it odd that she hadn't seen Harry in a long time. She guessed that the dinner had gone very badly. She was going to find out the next time she saw Dudley.
"Hey, Dudley," she called cringing to herself. "Do you know what happened to that manic cousin of yours?"
"Er… yeah. He got in trouble, deserved it too," Dudley spat.
"I see. So what your parents want him in the house, where he can ruin wherever he is, rather then let him outside and out of their way," she explained.
"That is a good point. I don't know. He is very messed up, so I don't think so."
"I see. Oh well, hope he doesn't curse you. Manics can think they can do that kind stuff."
One of the following nights, Calleigh had overheard that Harry had gotten away in the night. How he did, she didn't know. But laughed at the look that must have been on the faces of his Aunt and Uncle.
As the rest of the summer holidays slipped away, she felt herself wanting to go back to school more and more. When she finally did, it was almost like a dream. She tried not to get in anyone's way and spent her time in the library more then Hermione.
On Halloween everyone was astonished by what had happened. Mrs. Norris had been petrified, or so Calleigh had heard. The amount of rumors that went through the school astonished her. The next attack happened to Colin Creevey a first year student that was obsessed with Harry.
Next came the Dueling Club, which turned out horribly. Harry and Malfoy were to duel each other. Malfoy had produced a snake from his wand, which wanted to attack the crowd. It was during this that everyone there learned that Harry was a Parselmouth.
Shortly after the Dueling Club, Justin had been attacked and ended up petrified just like the rest. This only seemed to further everyone's suspicion with Harry. He didn't like it very much.
Over Christmas Hermione spent most of her time in the hospital wing, because she had gotten a tail, fur and cat eyes. She didn't leave until February, around the same time that Harry had found a diary, belong to a T.M. Riddle.
The last attack had happened to a fifth year girl and Hermione. Everyone seemed devastated, and it didn't seem like it could get any worse. But it had, Ginny Weasley had been taken to the Chamber of Secrets. But of course, Harry had defeated it, the Basilisk, and kept the school from closing down.
