Chapter 13

"What were you three thinking! Polyjuice Potion, Seriously! Why?" Oh yeah, she was angry.

'This is something Sirius and James would have done!'

Emma huffed with thought.

Minerva was currently in the process of writing to Ron and Hermione's parents of what had happened, telling them Hermione was perfectly fine, that the only downfall of the potion when it had backfired was not endangering at all, she was simply just coughing up fur-balls. This, Emma believed that the type of tiny backfire was a fair enough punishment for her. The boys were yet again given detentions for a week, whereas Hermione's was to sit in the Hospital wing to do her homework, once finished everything was taken away, she had nothing to do, literally.

The boys were allowed to visit her for fifteen minutes before or after their detentions. They continued talking about Draco and what they found out, the Secret Chamber, Tom Riddle and his Journal and how annoying Lockhart was. Hermione was sadly beginning to see why the boys and the staff didn't much like him as a teacher, let alone for Defense against the Dark Arts, "We really aren't learning anything." She finally admitted.

"Are they still not letting you wear the necklace Aunt Emma gave you for Christmas?" Ron asked. It was a beautiful red ribbon choker with gold embroidering of wonderfully crafted swirls all along the fabric. Ginny's was a simple silver necklace. Hermione had a feeling that the gold embroidering was embedded with protective magic like the rest of the kids got for Christmas, same for Ginny's silver necklace, they were strong and durable. You could slightly feel the magic tingle you figure tips. The boys got silver or gold rings with something significant engraved into the metal, Harry's, for example; "May Prongs and Lily petals light your way," the twins received gold engraved ring of "Mischief," for Fed, and "Managed," for George.

The poor girl was sulking because upon them removing the necklace she felt naked in some way, they had told her she couldn't wear it until she got the bandages off from around her neck. She had gotten a painful rash when the fur began to retreat back into her body, "Has your tale gone away yet?" Ron asked, poking fun at Hermione, hoping it would make her laugh. Instead it earned him a glare, but it had shorty turned into fun laughter, "Yes, for the last time, the tale is gone, Ron."

Draco sat in his common room with a sad sigh, he'd received an anonymous gift for Christmas. He had a feeling who it was from, but it had to of been impossible, because she was supposed to be dead. He stared at the engraved words on the small, circular, music box. It was obviously hand crafted and one of a kind. The words "A light in the Darkness makes all the difference, never are you alone." was engraved around the rim with "Thy Blue-eyed child and emerald skies" engraved on the inside of the lid. It was his Lullaby his Aunt would sing to him as a child. Their little secret Lullaby.

He listened to the short tune and watched the tiny hand carved figures of a smiling blue-eyed boy with blond hair standing next to three small animal figurines of a snow and silver colored fox, a black dog and the wood carved Phoenix painted gold and silver. The inside of the circular lid was pained into greens for the emerald sky in the Lullaby. 'She's gotta be alive, the question is, where is she if she is? Unless she had this pre-planned.' He continued asking himself so many questions as the night went, he missed his Aunt. His mother had become distant, something was bothering her, and he was getting worried. His father was not his father anymore, he was colder, sterner and easily enraged. Draco was thankful he hadn't gotten violent, just verbal. Draco was even beginning to feel sympathy for the house elves, especially Dobby, but he hadn't seen the house elf in months. This started Draco on thinking what could possibly be going on and where the creature could be, hoping he wasn't dead. He had no idea Dobby was getting ready to send out a Bludger at Harry the next game they had.

-Okay, I know the Bludger was the first game, I forgot to put that in there previously so I'm just doing it now, even if it's out of event order, that is my fault, I do apologize for that. but hey, now you get to see Emma vs Lockhart XD-

Quidditch

The game had only started, Draco was tossing snide remark after snide remark at Harry and it was only angering the boy even more as the game went on. Wood was thankfully blocking the goals like the champ he was and doing a very fine job of it, until Marcus growled in anger, he decided to pull the same stunt he had last year but had missed Oliver by a long shot due to George flying up out of nowhere and knocking it back towards Marcus, a grin wide across his face and flew back off back into the game with his brother, "Thanks George!"

"Anytime Wood!" Oliver laughed but had near gotten knocked off his broom as something flew passed him and headed right for Harry and he felt his stomach lurch then sink in panic all at once, "POTTER!" he breathed a sigh of utter relief when Harry moved at the last possible second, the Bludger missing him by a few inches. Oliver swore Harry could have felt the wind on that one. Everyone's relief was short lived when the Bludger took a sharp turn and headed right back for the second year, "Weasleys, guard Potter!"

Everyone held their breaths as they watched. Emma held onto Mellena's and Minerva's hands as they watched, she was nearly crushing their hands, "Emma, breath. He'll be alright- Oh P-Potter look out!" Minerva shouted in panic as the Bludger narrowly missed him again, this time Fred nearly got slammed trying to hit it out of the way.

Oliver had had enough, this had gone on for five minutes, "TIME!"

The whistle blew, calling a timeout, "No! I'm fine, Fred, George I'll be fine-"

"No way Harry, you barely got away the last ten time- WOW! See?" George said point at the retreating Bludger that had flown right between him and Harry.

"Promise, I'll be fine. We need you guys out there, not guarding me, I have the Nimbus."

"Potter, Weasleys', Wood! What are you doing?" Madam Hooch called as she flew up towards them, the Bludger was still running rampage as it flew, "I'll be fine, I can still play, we can still play." Harry quickly said, his eyes had caught the Snitch and was itching to catch it, he had to catch it. "Fine, Weasley's back to position, you're off guard."

The twins gave each other a worried look but nodded either way, "Yes Ma'am," and flew off back to their position, hoping to deal with all three Bludgers, but they knew the rouge was on Harry like it was a bee to honey, it was only after him. This was really getting bad, first Ron and Harry can't get through the Barrier at the station, almost expelled and stole Arthur's flying car and then this?

'What is going on around here?'

The game took a terrible turn when Draco and Harry both started chasing the Snitch, they had a visitor. The Rogue Bludger.

Hagrid was getting worried, Ron had begun waving his wand in an attempt to get rid of the Bludger, but Hermione had thankfully stopped him, "Even with a proper wand, it's too risky, you could hit Harry!"

"Well, then what do we do now? We can't just let that thing keep chasing him, it's trying to kill him!" Ron shouted back in worry just as the rouge narrowly missed Draco, who understandable shouted in fright and covered his face from the splinters of the beams it had shattered, but in his protection of his eyes, his broom dipped just enough and headed for a small beam itself.

"DRACO!" Harry shouted.

Too late.

Harry was forced to watch the tip of Draco's 2001 hit the beam.

The impact sent Draco flying up into the air.

Harry maneuvered himself to go after Draco, he almost had a hold of his jacket until he, yet again, narrowly missed getting taken out by the rouge making Harry pulled back his arm from the rouge's path. By the time Harry was safe from it, Draco was landing in the field.

'At least he's alive,' Harry thought and continued redirecting the rouge and trying to look for the Snitch again. He had let out a triumphant breath when he spotted it again and took off after it, he almost had the Snitch in his grasp but was taken by surprise, "POTTER!" Harry could have sworn he heard Draco and Oliver shouting after him, "Harry!" But it was, again, too late, the rouge had made a successful impact to his right arm.

"James!" 'Did Aunt Emma just call my dad's name?' He thought in confusion, the pain was nearly blinding, but he was still going after the Snitch. Hold his broken arm to his body, Harry leaned against the broom using his body as support and using his left hand to reach for the Snitch. His broom dipped and went down sending him out onto the field, but he still had the Snitch in hand. He held it high and smiled with pride, he looked up at hearing something and rolled out of the way as the rogue Bludger came slamming down at him, then sat himself upright and spread his legs as it slammed into the ground, making the poor kid gulp, 'That was far too close for comfort!'

Emma and the others were in the farthest stadium from Harry, she had just pulled her wand from her coat pocket as the rouge was coming back down, flying head on with Harry himself, this time it was going to be a nasty impact, both Emma and Hermione had cast a spell at the same time, both spells connected with the rouge and had exploded in colors of red and orange as they all rushed to the injured boy. Emma was in a panic as she arrived at the crowded scene only to hear Hagrid's irritated voice, "Broken! There ain't no bones left!"

Her jaw nearly came unhinged as she watched Lockhart pull back Harry's arm, folding it back, she watched in terror as his arm shot forward. He was like a human stretcher! "What the bloody hell have you done to my nephew!" she raged.

"No-n-now, Miss Evans, I was simply trying to hel-" Emma had given him no time as she unleashed her wraith at the "bouncy haired moron" according to Alastor. "That's a load to dragon's dung, Lockhart! Any injured person is to be taken to the Hospital wing, straight to Poppy! What were you thinking of trying to mend a bone when you clearly have no idea how to do it!" she was furious, anyone injured at the school was to go straight to Poppy for medical evaluation and attention if the injury was severe enough, that was not only school policy it should have been simple logic!

"Get up Draco... Now, boy!" Hearing Lucius speak to his own son in such a way after having been tossed like that and having that kind of landing, flying across the Quidditch field was nerve rattling enough, the boy did not need his own father humiliating him anymore than he clearly already felt, "Lucius, I think I can take it from here in escorting Mr. Malfoy to the Hospital wing, no doubt he should be evaluated after that fall." Emma almost snapped at the man. There was already a scene, there was no need to create a new one.

Lucius's eyes narrowed on Emma, he felt a bit shaken when she barely flinched, "He's fine, Evans." He continued to forget she was no longer the eleven-year-old he could easily push around. She was a grown woman who had in just about every way, lost everything. He'd heard a saying that when you get in between a mother and her child you better prepare to suffer their wraith or die. And when it came to Emma and the children she called nieces and nephews she was almost like any other mother, and he had found that his own son was placed in her category as family.

Emma took a deep breath to calm herself, Lucius was Draco's father, but he was not a teacher here at the school, and by school policy she, and any other Professor, could get into a lot of trouble if they did not enforce the Quidditch players to get checked after the games to catch any injuries, no matter how little they were, "School policy, Lucius. Draco, come along, please." Emma walked away from Lucius, fire burning in her eyes as Hagrid helped Harry up and the three, plus Ron and Hermione, walked the two boys to the Hospital wing. Unfortunately, it was so quiet it was bothering them all, that was until Draco spoke up, a look of humiliation, "Thanks, for trying to catch me, Potter."

"Is that why your dad was so angry then?" Ron asked in confusion, he was only graced with a nod and all three kids were stunned as he admitted to it.

"You're welcome, I never thought it would have been right to have just let you fall like that without at least trying. Though I did miss. Sorry about that by the way."

Draco had simply shrugged, "Doesn't matter, had I been in your shoes, I'd probably let you fall to be honest. Now, I can't exactly say as much."

"Well, hopefully you learned a life lesson from that though, even if someone is not a friend you should still try to help them if they're in dire need of it. Now, I really say that loosely simply because people can, and will, take advantage of that part of you. But, keep that in mind when you're on the Quidditch field or going through life. Stand up for yourself and those who can't for themselves. There's nothing wrong with trying and failing, because you learn from it. You don't exactly learn from trying and winning on the first try, do you?" Emma smiled at the three second years as they all shook their heads. She opened the doors to the Hospital wing with a heavy sigh, "Emma, back again I see, what is it this time? Oh, Quidditch, Potter what happened?"

All three kids and Emma glanced to one another before rolling their eyes and grumbling all in unison, "Lockhart,"

"Ooh, for Merlin's sake! That man is beginning to drive me mad! Come on, both of you let's have a look."

April

The three friends had taken to going back to figuring out things involving the chamber, the Journal had been stolen and Harry was in major assumption that Hagrid either knew who opened the chamber or was the one to do the deed, "Why don't we just ask him?" Hermione said rolling her eyes, 'They are ridiculous! Hagrid opening the Chamber of Secret? Hagrid was the Heir of Slytherin? This is just crazy- they are crazy!'

"Oh really, what are we supposed to say, "Hello Hagrid, let anything made and Hairy loose in the castle lately?"" Ron sarcastically said, a roll of his own eyes while Hermione just glared. She suddenly stiffened and jumped, and her eyes had gone wide at something, someone, behind him and Harry, "Mad and Hairy? Wouldn't be talkin' 'bout me now would ya?" Hagrid asked with a joke, but his laughter had quickly died when he saw how tense they were, "No," the three said in unison, all three looking as if they had been caught doing something they weren't supposed to be. "Hm," 'They're up to somethin' again,' Hagrid knew when they were up to something, and it never turned out good in their favors, "Every'hing alrigh' 'here?"

"Y-yeah, everything's fine," Hermione piped up, a big smile on her face, 'Yep, somethin' is defian'ly goin' on here. Time to involve Emma, again. Why do these three always remind me of those crazy boys she'd always be 'round?'

Hagrid sighed and nodded, he'd inform Emma as soon as he could, but he had work that needed to be done, and he was shorthanded for this amount of work, "Anyways I bes' be of', have work that needs done, and Klay is missin' again, 'ave a nice day." With that, Hagrid was off and back towards his home.

3 days later

Hermione huffed and puffed, "The boys are crazy Professor Fox, they think Hagrid opened the chamber, Harry is so certain of it. The Diary Harry found this information from had a name, uh, Thomas, no, Tommy, Tom. That's it, Tom… Riddler?" Hermione was unsure of the last name really, but she was very sure of the first name. The name, however, still didn't sound right.

Emma froze when she heard the name, her throat was painfully swollen, that name would forever haunt her, along with one other name, Voldemort, "Tom Riddle?" She quickly rushed from the bookshelf she was at putting away books with the young Witch, but her eyes landing on Ginny. Emma noticed that the girl's eyes were void of anything, showing she wasn't present in the moment. Before Emma had a chance to say anything, a bright flash blinded her and knocked her unconscious while Hermione was defenseless with just a mirror.

"Yes, that's it, he apparently got an award about 50 years ago or so, extraordinary acts for the School or something, I can't remember what Ron really said. My mind is just so cluttered right now it's ridiculous, I have no idea how to get Harry's mind free of accusing Hagrid of this. Any suggestions Emma? Wait, why don't you just talk to him, he listens to you." She smiled with success when she found a book and started looking through it. A few pages describing a creature that could kill by looking it in the eyes, "The Basilisk- Professor Fox, I think I figured it out!" At the silence she had gotten back, fear set in. Hermione clutched the paper up in her hand into a ball, hiding it from anyone that could be there and grabbed the mirror. Hermione had no idea that the only people in the Library currently conscious was herself and whatever or whoever was possessing Ginny Weasley, "Professor? A-are you okay?... Emma?" She had only been able to go wide eyed and gasped with fear as a flash blinded her through her mirror. It was lights out for Hermione Granger.

Quidditch

"This match has been cancelled," McGonagall announced, walking swiftly towards the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. Oliver laughed a bit at Professor McGonagall, "You can't cancel Quidditch!" He froze the second she turned a stern glare on him, "Silence, Wood. Escort your team back up to Gryffindor Tower, now. Potter, you and I will find Mr. Weasley, there is something the two of you must see."

Minutes later, the three rushed into the Hospital wing, this was the last thing McGonagall wanted to do, she had only seen Emma in a hospital bed like this twice, maybe three times, and each time she was near death. Worst of all, a student was lying in a bed next to her petrified.

Hermione was in a worse state than Emma was, and she was a well-trained Witch! "We found them in the Library, Mss. Granger was unfortunately petrified. Emma was cast unconscious. I had no choice but to inform the both of you."

The two boys stopped in mid-step as their eyes found a petrified Hermione. Her eyes wide open and filled with fear and shock.

Harry felt his stomach drop farther than he'd ever thought it could as he stared at a wide eyes frightened Hermione Granger; one of his best friends. But what made him nearly vomit in panic and fear was the body he found next to Hermione's. His Aunt, the last of his real family, someone who had fought tooth and nail, fire and brimstone, to get him back home, their real home, "Ro-Ron? Look." He said pointing past their dear friend.

Ron had sat on the bedside edge of Hermione's bed, he couldn't look away from her, no matter how frightened he was for her, what she had likely experienced was something he never thought she'd have to go through, but it was Harry's shaking voice had brought him to witness something he never wanted to see again, his mind had gone right back to the hospital when she was in a coma. Ron had looked to the next bed and felt his lunch threatening to come up when he found their Aunt, once again, unconscious and barely looked as if she were breathing, "Hermione?... and Auntie Emma. W-what happened to them?"

'First Hermione, now Auntie Emma! What happened?'
