A/N: I know that this seems a bit slower. In a way I'm trying to improve my writing. Lately I've been getting a lot of suggestions some really rude and others understandable so I decided to follow it. Hope you like the chapter.

"Where are we going to keep all these people Harry?" Hermione asked.

"I have no ideas." Harry said.

"Why do we have to figure it out?"

" I know we already have our own assignments to worry about."

She was currently looking over the schematics to the whole castle. It's a big castle so you know that it was an extensive amount of paper. The main floor was in a tougher type of parchment while each other layer was delicate overlap see through so you can see where it leads. It was very complicated and tiring. They had already been there for hours trying to figure this out.

"Honestly, we can try and put them in the spare space we have. You know since some kids chose not to come to Hogwarts but most likely the students will take their beds back. Then there's those that don't even go there. They might come too. Either way we're going to run out of space."

"Well Hermione we can't put them in the Room of Requirement either. We don't want everyone to know about it."

"True." After a pause she resumed the question. " So what are we supposed to do?" Hermione asked.

Harry scanned the various parchments and pointed out a large area. It had no labeling on it. It was just there and was an empty hallway.

"What about this?" Harry asked.

"Where is that?" Hermione asked before looking over all the other papers. Realizing where it was she turned back to him and shook her head.

"We can't put it there!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Why not?" Harry asked.

"If you put this sheet over it you realize that it's over the girl's lavatory."

"Which means that that's the Chamber of Secrets. Do you think it's capable of living in?" Harry pondered.

"Harry would you live there?" Hermione asked. It was an obvious question.

"No, but fortunately I don't have to. Where else would we put them though?" Harry said looking over at her.

"You have a point we have less than a week to fix this up. Do you think that we can make it?" Hermione asked.

"I'll go get Ron and Neville." Harry said getting up.

"I'll go get Ginny and Luna." Hermione said following his example.

Once they tracked down the people they were looking for they met back in the Great Hall.

"Now for some reason McGonagall has decided to allow the wizarding world in here. They're coming next week. We have recruited you for remodeling of the space they will be occupying."

"Remodeling? Can't the elves do that?" Ginny asked.

"Well they can, but we figure why put extra work on them now when in a week they will have more than enough to do." Hermione said choosing her words carefully.

"Okay, Harry what are we remodeling?" Neville asked.

"Well we're doing the Chamber..."

"...of Secrets? Are you crazy I'm not going down there!" Ginny shouted.

" And she wonders why." Hermione muttered to herself.

"I wonder what?" Ginny asked. She had heard what Hermione said to herself.

"You wonder why we don't let you do anything. You can't handle going into the Chamber! How are we supposed to trust you with things more dangerous and of greater importance?"

"You've never been down there? What do you know?" Ginny shot back. Her hands were folded up against her chest.

"I was petrified! In the hospital wing for goodness sakes."

"Exactly, you have no idea..."

Ron came inbetween them and put some distance inbetween them with the palms of his hands.

"Forget about second year. The past is in the past." Ron said.

"Ron, that's really good advice. Sometimes though the past comes back to bite you in the ass." Hermione told him. She was looking straight in his eye. Everyone else though was staring at her wide eyed.

"What it's a fact! You can never avoid it."

"Let's just get down to the girl's bathroom!" Harry said.

"The girl's lavatory, I always wondered what it looked like."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Just down the chute!" Harry said trying to reassure them.

"Are you sure it's safe?" Neville asked.

"I've been down there before of course it's safe. Actually safer considering there are no snakes down there anymore."

Everyone after a while was persuaded and they landed with a thud and a crunch.

Hermione was the last one down.

"What was that?" Hermione asked.

"Bones," Harry told her," Just bones."

"It's never just bones, Harry."

The place had that wierd smell. It was a combination of rot, and of course being underground. On top of that it was dark, damp and they were knee deep in water.

"This place is creepy." Neville said.

"...and grimy. You see all of this mold. It needs to go alomg with these bones." Ginny mentioned pointing to the walls.

"Well let's get that done first. Then we'll aim for the water problem." Harry said.

"Anyone great at Tranfiguration besides me?" Hermione asked. Luna raised her hand and Hermione latched onto her. "Good, you can work with me."

They spent the next hour clearing the area of bones. They cast spells as they vanished into thin air. Underneath that they found snake skins. Even underneath that they found hard concrete floor. It brought a whole new meaning to the term six feet under.

"That took a while." Ron said once thye'd finished. They all started stretching their limbs.

"We need more light." Hermione commented.

They spent hours alternating wands with the spell "Lumos". It was time consuming.

"We sure do, you know the palytians like the dark." Luna commented.

Everyone stopped stretching out and looked at her. She looked back at them questioningly. She thought it was the clearest concept in the world.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

They all got into groups Hermione/Luna, Ron/Neville, and Harry/Ginny. They started in the big room. Harry informed them that this was where he faced off Tom. Seeing the big face of Salazar Slytherin didn't last long. They destroyed it with a few destruction spells and made it one solid wall. Luna then conjured a chandelier and mounted it to the ceiling. Once they got all the candles on it lit up they announced they had light. They took all the tunnels and closed them off. Though they were circular, that changed whe it turned into bedrooms and added the doors.

Hours later they emerged drenched in water and soot. It took a while even with magic to find the root of the drainage problem and how to keep it out.

"We really need to create a starcase instead of a slide." Hermione added out of breath.

"Why are you thinking of that? We just spent the last 12 hours down there." Ron said.

"Ron, I'm tired too. We don't have a whole lot of time to do this though!"

"Your just trying to avoid sleep...once again." Harry said.

"No, I'm not." Hermione said.

"Yes, you are."

"We'll talk about this later." Hermione said in a final tone.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Hermione, now is later." Harry said as she was in the middle of reading through something.

"Harry." Hermione pleaded.

"No you said we would talk. We have to talk. Why..What's wrong with you lately?" Harry asked choosing his words carefully.

"It's just these dreams they're always in my head. Sometimes they are a little bit different but the same message comes to me."

"What message? You never told me about a message." Harry said worried.

He took her hands into his own stroking them as she continued to talk.

"It's the hidden message of things. More like how we interpret them. Or how we choose to interpret them."

"And what exactly is it telling you."

Hermione looked down at their joined hands and told him exactly what she felt it had been telling her.

"That maybe...we're not as strong as..as we should be."

Tell me what you think about this chapter. Hopefully the next one will be up in a few days.
