Author's note: I decided to the boggart in Harry and Haley's second year because I have a new and exciting adventure planned for their third year.

Chapter 2: The Boggart

It was Defense Against the Dark Arts class with Remus, Sirius, and my dad. My mom was busy teaching potions for another class. Remus was having us do a practical lesson. At first, he tried to teach us, but my dad and Sirius kept playing practical jokes on him.

"Repeat after me. Ridikulus" Remus said ducking a spell my dad shot at him. The class repeated and I rolled my eyes. My dad sure could act like a child sometimes. After we learned the charm, Remus let the boggart out. Remus had gone first to show the class an example.

"Neville! Your up" my dad said. Snape popped out and Neville made him wear girls' clothes. We had met Snape once and it was chilling. We all laughed, including Sirius and my dad. Harry stood staring at the boggart and it changed into a dementor.

"HARRY" my dad yelled jumping in front of him. The dementor changed to me, Harry, and mom lying dead on the floor. My dad's eyes began to water and he shouted the ridikulus charm. Then before my dad could send the boggart back into the wardrobe, I stepped in front of them. My dad didn't see me yet and a stag was lying in front of me dead.

"HALEY" Remus yelled before the boggart changed. He charged at me and went to tackle me, but I stood firm and he fell to the ground next to me.

"Ridikulus" I shouted. A big black dog and a werewolf appeared besides the stag. Both the animals were carrying buckets of ice cold water in their mouths. They then dumped the buckets on the stag and the stag jumped up suddenly. Remus and Sirius began to laugh while my dad, who just noticed what was happening, glared at them.

"Okay, class is over" Remus said after he finally calmed down. My dad, Sirius, and Remus pulled both of us beside after class.

"I can't believe that! It was so funny what the dog and the wolf did" Sirius laughed. My dad and Remus glared at him and he quickly shut up.

"Why did you even try facing the boggart when Harry's turned into a dementor? It could have been Voldemort" my dad hissed. Remus and Sirius winced a little.

"Dad, I'm not afraid of Voldemort and neither is Harry" I said. Harry nodded in agreement and stepped forwards taking my hand. We then left and walked down the corridor to go to the Great Hall. We decided to take a short cut.

"Uh oh" Harry said stopping short. We were still holding hands and I almost fell backwards. I looked at what he was staring at. The wall read Enemies of the heir beware or something like that.

"Oh no" students gasped. We looked around and saw students coming up both corridors and gasped. My parents also came up and saw us.

"They murdered my cat" Filch yelled when he saw his cat. Everyone knew we didn't do it. They glared at him disbelievingly and he dropped the act. Draco came over to me and gave me a hug. I returned it and Harry smiled at us. Then, Ginny Weasley came to stand near him and Harry blushed.

"Staff meeting now" Dumbledore announced. The students were sent to their dormitories, but Draco was allowed to come to ours. I sat in his lap in the common room as we talked with the others.

"What do you think that was" Ron asked. The others shook their heads, but I began to think. I remembered reading something when I was younger about a basilisk.

"I think that was a basilisk" I said. The others turned to look at me. They were confused. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"A basilisk is a huge snake that is said to kill you when it looks you in the eyes" I explained. I tended to read a lot when I was younger, just like my mom. I had just about read every book in the Potter Manor and was working on finishing the last couple of books in Godric's Hollow. Hermonie brightened up.

"I remember! It's also said that a basilisk lives down in the Chamber of Secrets. I thought that was a myth" she said. She had read Hogwarts: A History in her first year. I had already read that when I was seven.

"I don't think it is. The writing said that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. I think that this could have some very bad consequences. Whatever you do don't carry anything that reflects an object" I told them.

"Er, Haley……….." Harry began. I looked at him and mentally slapped myself. Harry wears glasses just like my dad. The others stared at me.

"Don't worry about the glasses. I'll put an anti-reflection charm on them" I said. I did and Harry readjusted his glasses. I had accidentally hit them, making them slide down Harry's nose.

"Erm, thanks" he said. I rolled my eyes and went up to my dormitory. It was only the beginning of a bigger adventure.
