Harry flopped on the sofa in the common room. Not knowing what to do with this new feeling. 'Maybe the library will have the answer, I am looking for?' "Is something wrong Harry?" He heard Colin say in front of him. The golden boy sideways glanced over, "Are you not feeling well?"
Harry sits up, wondering if he should tell him, "I am just confused about something."
"Awes Harry, I can help you solve this confusion of yours?"
His idol looks over at him, "Come with me then?" Colin followed Harry to a closet near the top of the staircase. Bringing him inside, closing the door. His fan was confused by this, as Harry brought his lips against his. Letting go, "Sorry, this is what I am confused about," he slid onto the ground, "sorry for kissing you."
"Are you kidding?" Colin said, feeling a bit baffled and flattered at the same time, "I just got kissed by my hero." He crouched down, "Are you not happy with this?"
"Sorry, I was hoping to be disgusted, but surprisingly I am not," Harry sighed, "what am I supposed to do now." He was only twelve years old but already knew what problems lay ahead of him. About his sexuality; which he had a feeling about before entering this school. Colin looked at him with a worried expression, "I am screwed probably."
His fan decided to comfort him with a hug, "It will be OK, Harry. You will see. I understand what you are confused about now." Harry nodded in his arms. Not knowing what to do with this new sexuality development.
Harry walked with Colin to the Gryffindor table. Not bothering to look at the staff table, after what happened in the bathroom earlier. Colin sat next to Harry, feeling like he had reached a new level with his hero. Extended his hand over, seeing if he would take it. Harry looked over at him, giving a small smile, looking at his friends while grabbing Colin's hand in return. Having his insides stirred, but only a bit. Trying to still resist this new situation. Not only that, but he is only doing this to get past his feelings for Snape. 'Wonder if this will work?' Harry held onto Colin's hand while they ate dinner, talking to his two best friends. Talking about what happened to Mrs. Norris. They looked over at Filch at the staff table, feeling bad for him. Knowing that he cares for her quite a lot. 'Least she is only petrified.' Colin whispers in Harry's ear, letting him know he has seen some strange things going on. Ron's sister joins them at the table, happy to be at the same table as her crush, giving Harry a small greeting before serving her plate. Ron leans near his other ear, "Ginny has been talking about you all summer...bit annoying really."
Harry wanted to snort at that, as he started biting into his potato. Remembering something, "I got detention with Professor Lockhart."
Hermione had a feeling that would happen, and took Gilderoy's side; since she has a huge crush on the author, "What did you expect by ditching his class, Harry?" Harry heard some disappointment in her voice. Colin squeezed his hand as he bit into his buttered bread. Harry watched his fan wiping his mouth with a napkin. 'Seems like he has good manners.' Harry peeked at the staff table, towards the dungeon bat, 'So does he.' He looked away before getting caught staring.
After dinner was over, Harry gave Colin a kiss on the cheek before heading to Professor Lockhart's office. Sitting down as the author brings out a box of fan letters. 'How thick can someone get?' Harry is famous, but he never once cared about these things. While autographing postcards; he heard it again. The killing voice, wanting to do more destruction. "What?"
Gilderoy looked up from his letters, "What?"
"That voice?"
Gilderoy looked around, "Voice? What voice?"
"Didn't you hear it?" Harry is hoping at least somebody other than him can hear it.
"What are you talking about Harry?" his teacher asked confused, "I think you are getting a bit drowsy," he looked over at the time, "and, great Scott, no wonder, look at the time...we been here nearly four hours. Spooky how time flies when one is having fun."
"Once again...creepy," Harry said.
Heading out of Gilderoy's office, he heard it yet again, this time in the walls. Going closer to the concrete to hear it, the voice was moving while talking, saying that it is going to rip someone, wanting to kill. He was so focused on the voice, that he nearly ran into the Potion Master. "Professor?" his student was out of breath.
"Potter, what are doing here?"
"I was having detention with Professor Lockhart," Harry kept listening to the voice, "Do you not hear that?" Snape looked around, not hearing anything, "it's moving," his student gulped with worry, "I think it is going to kill?" Snape gaped at that, remembering Harry heard a voice the other day. 'This must be the same one?' His student starts running, while his teacher follows. Snape nearly fell from the water on the floor, 'What!?' Harry catches him, "I should have maybe warned you about the puddles." 'What is he talking about and why is there water on the floor?' his student stops him, catching some spiders crawling along the corridor and out a castle window. Harry gapes at the Potion Master, "Wonder what that is all about?"
Snape realizes the answer now, 'No...it cannot...be.' Harry noticed his teacher's expression, "Professor, you, ok?" he covered his frightened face, "Professor look?" Snape looks over where his student was pointing. A body was lying on the ground. And another bloody message was written on the wall. 'The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir beware.' He remembered that message when Norris was petrified. It was the same message. He had too much wine that night to care though.
Now that Snape is sober; he turned over to Harry, "Go to your house," his student gaped, "That is an order, Potter!"
Harry could tell something was frightening this dark wizard. "Professor what is wrong? I am not leaving till I know what is going on?"
His teacher looked over at him, "History is repeating itself, this happened before. 50 years ago." Harry geared at the body, "she is just petrified. Go back to your house, I will inform the headmaster." He takes the girl in his arms, bringing her over to the hospital wing.
