Chapter twenty-seven: To the Girls Bathroom! Wooooooooooosh!

"Groaning Gina!" Andy called loudly, her voice echoed around the empty girls bathroom. Don and Barry looked around nervously.

"Amber? Is that you? Is Leah there too?" A females voice came from a nearby cubicle.

"No, Leah's not here..."

"Oh good!" Groaning Gina suddenly appeared out of a toilet grinning - not meeting the description Lemo had given Barry, "I still haven't forgiven her for that-" Groaning Gina caught sight of Don and Barry, "This is a girls bathroom." she folded her arms across her chest.

"Nice to meet you Gina..." Don said hopefully, holding out his hand.

"Gina, I'm Barry. How did you die?"

Andy thumped Barry across the head,

"For god sake! Where's your friggen manners!"

But instead of Groaning Gina looking mad or upset, she looked pleased with Barry's question,

"Oh it was horrible!" She winked.

"Really? Could you tell us about it?"

"Well, I was in that cubicle right there," She pointed to a cubicle to her left, "I was crying because Ella had been teasing me about my glasses again. I mean their not that bad are they? And lots of people wear glasses, I mean you do Barry and no one hates you for that do they? Infact you're famous and have glasses and-"

"Uh...Gina your death?"

"Oh yes! I then heard a boy outside talking in another language. - Might have been Spanish...So I unlocked my cubicle to tell him to LEAVE or at least speak English so I could eavesdrop. Not those exact words of course. Because if he knew, then it wouldn't be eavesdropping! But if I gave him a hint to speak English, you know, push him in the right dirrection...Y'know? Hehe. Anyway...I died."

"You just died?"

"No, I saw a large pair of yellow eyes, by the sinks."

"Did you see the boy?"

"No."

"Which tap was it closest to?"

Gina floated over to a tap,

"This one."

Barry rushed over to the tap and examined it. He turned the tap, however no water came out.

"It never worked," Groaning Gina informed him, "Probably because no one used it because of...Well Andy knows why. It's been passed down centuries why not to use that tap...Rather gross really...There was this-"

"Please shut it," Don said, sick of Groaning Gina's pointless waffling.

Barry ran his fingers all over the tap, searching for something. Anything,

"Guys, tell me all you know about Salazar Slytherin..."

"Well...He liked green..."

"He was pureblood."

"Against muggleborns and half bloods attending Hogwarts."

"Didn't get along with the other Hogwarts founders."

"Hang on, if they didn't get along why did they form a school together?" Andy pondered.

"No idea," Barry muttered, "Keep the facts coming..." Barry's fingers ran over something on the side of the tap.

"He was left handed..."

"What! Andy, how do you know that?"

"I don't, but that'd be interesting if it were true!"

Barry bent down slighty to get a better look at it. It was a small snake engraced into the side of the tap. Maybe it was like a mouthpiece? What if he talked into it? Would it open the chamber? Making sure he'd be heard over Andy, Don and Gina he spoke loudly and clearly,

"Open."

Andy, Gina and Don stopped chattering instantly and looked at Barry with shocked expressions.

"He was also parselltongue..." Andy whispered barely opening her mouth, "Barry? Are you related to Salazar Slytherin!"

Gina screamed and dive bombed into the closest toilet,

"Please don't smite me!" she gurgled from inside the U-bend.

"What?" Barry asked them, "What are you guys on about?"

"You just spoke parsell tongue!"

"I did?"

"You did! You just hissed at the-" Andy stopped short when the basins started to rise into the air. Leaving a huge hole in the middle of the bathroom. A sign dropped down from the bottom of the risen basins, it said:

Welcome to the Chamber of Secrets

Designed solely for Purebloods,

by the true founder of Hogwarts

Salazar Slytherin

Please sign the guest book on the way out.

"There's a guest book?"

"No time! My sisters in there!" Don yelled, without much thought he jumped into the huge hole. Hoping for the best, Barry followed. Andy stood on the edge, looking down nervously, she really didn't want to jump then Andrew's words played in her head. "As for you guys, you have to find out where the chamber is. The sooner you do that, the sooner muggleborns can return to Hogwarts." She jumped. Screaming the whole way.
