Chapter 6: Inside Dumbledore's Office
The next day came and Harry and his friends where up and early in the girls restroom. He felt the urge to tell them everything Dumbledore and Gandalf had spoken about. "You're saying the chamber of Secrets has already been open in the past" said Hermione. "I told you maybe Lucius Malfoy has opened the chamber of Secrets when he went here and now he told Draco how it's done" said Ron. "We dunno nothing for sure. We'll have to wait for the Polyjuice Potion to be sure" said Frodo. "How much longer til it's ready" asked Harry. "Two more weeks. I've got permission to stay this year for the holidays since Malfoy is staying to help you'll out. I already know who I'll be switching into" said Hermione. "What about Frodo" asked Ron. "I'll just have to use my magic ring my Bilbo gave me. You won't even notice I'm there" said Frodo. "Well then that's settle. But now enlighten me Hermione why in Middle-Earth are we brewing a potion in the middle of the girls bathroom" asked Ron. "No one comes inside here. They're all scared" said Hermione. "Of" asked Ron. "Moaning Myrtle" said Hermione. "Who is she" asked Harry. "I'm Moaning Myrtle" said a female blue ghost from behind them. "I did not expect you to know about me. Who would ever speak to Moping, moaning, hideous, fat Moaning Myrtle" said Moaning Myrtle. She flew around giving a loud cry and hid herself in a toilet. "She seems pretty sensitive" said Frodo. And so they left for class for Defense Against The Dark Arts. Lockhart had the students gather around a huge table in which he stood on top off. "Gather around hobbit students in the front quickly now" said Lockhart. "Now before we start class today I'd like to say a few things. Due to recent events happening Professor Dumbledore and Gandalf the Grey have granted me authority to start a dueling club. So that you may learn how to fend for yourself against the dark forces" said Lockhart. "That Lockhart is a great teacher. I'm Justin-Flinch from Hufflepuff. Even to us you are quite famous Harry" said the boy who shakes Harry's hand. "Nice to meet you Justin" said Harry. "Now for my assistant Professor Snape has agreed to help me train you out to show you how to duel. Do not fear students for alas you shall still have a potions teacher after I fight him" said Lockhart. Snape and Lockhart met face to face as they pulled out their wands and returned to they're side. "Now watch and learn lads and lasses" said Lockhart. "Expelliarmus" said Snape as he threw Lockhart hard against the wall. "Would you look at that kids. I think it was clever what you intended Snape but if I wanted to stop you it'd have been all to easy" said Lockhart. "Perhaps I should say you teach the students to block unfriendly spells Professor Lockhart" said Snape. Lockhart agreed and decided to put Harry and Ron to fight but Snape explained that Ron's wand wasn't fully functioning well and put Draco to duel instead. "Okay lads disarm only. I do not want you hurt got it" said Lockhart. Malfoy attacked first and made Harry flip to the ground. "Rictusumsempra" casted Harry who threw Malfoy harder to the ground. Snape pulled Malfoy back to his feet and returned him to the fight. "Serpensortia" said Draco as the tip of his wand out came a snake. Harry backed away scared as the snake approached Harry. "Stay still Potter. I'll get rid of it" said Snape. "Allow me to do so Snape" said Lockhart who stepped in but only threw the snake up in the air. Harry stared at the snake as they meet eye to eye and began to communicate. Snape burned the snake and destroyed it. Harry stopped to look at everyone inside the classroom. Frodo gave him a concerned look. "What are you playing at" said Justin. Harry left the classing running furiously with Frodo, Ron, and Hermione behind. "Harry wait up please" said Frodo. "What happened back there" asked Ron. "I think Harry's a Parselmouth" said Hermione. "What does that mean" asked Harry. "It means you can talk to snakes. That's not something that's common" said Frodo. "I was what did I say did I tell it to leave" said Harry. "I dunno but you scared us" said Ron. "Don't you think that's why the Slytherin symbol is a snake because Isildur also knew that language" said Hermione. "Everyone will say that you are his descendant or something stupid" said Ron. "That's a lie I couldn't be" said Harry. "You don't know that all we know you could be" said Hermione. Later on that day people molested both Harry and Frodo as they said Harry spoke Parseltongue. Harry found another student petrified and this time it was Justin. Frodo came as soon as possible. "I've got you boys now" said Filch. "Mr. Filch Wait it wasn't us" said Frodo. "Come here Master Baggins and Mr. Potter" said McGonagoll as she led them both to Dumbledore's office. "Professor Dumbledore shall be waiting for you. Sherbet Lemon" said McGonagoll as the stairs appeared. Frodo and Harry went inside the office. They looked around and they saw the sorting hat. "Hey can I ask you something I want to know if last year did you put me in the correct house" asked Harry. "Frodo was very different but you I told you Slytherin may be a better choice for you but I toke your choice for granted" said the Hat. Frodo noticed a small bird inside a cage as it was old it burst into flames. Professor Dumbledore stepped in. "I'm sorry sir your bird it just burst into flames" said Frodo. "Don't worry young hobbit it's just a Phoenix for you see he was old and now is reborn again. Beautiful isn't it" asked Dumbledore. "Yes it is" said Frodo. Hagrid stepped inside in a rush. "Professor Dumbledore it wasn't them. It wasn't them I swear I promise to put a good word at the ministry" said Hagrid. "Hagrid just relax and no I know young Harry and Frodo couldn't have done it" said Dumbledore. Hagrid stood there for a minute and left. "You don't think it was us Professor" asked Harry. "No Harry it wasn't you or Master Baggins. But let me ask do you have something you want to tell me" asked Dumbledore. "No" said Harry. Dumbledore kindly asked Frodo and Harry to return to their dorms as they where all nervous.
