Chapter 3: Trouble Begins
The next day, a student was found petrified in the hallways. The Chamber had officially been opened and the school was in a frenzy. Anybody could get petrified any minute and the school could get shut down.
"Draco, I was wondering if your mom said anything about the last time the Chamber was opened" I asked. We had just found out that the chamber had been opened fifty years ago. Draco shook his head.
"No, she hasn't even mentioned that" he said. I began to think. My mom and dad might have known about that. I got up and went to my parents' room.
"What's wrong Haley" my dad asked. I began to ask them about the Chamber and then saw the looks on their faces. They were shocked. I knew that me and Harry knew how to speak Parseltounge because we got that power from Voldemort. We also have plenty of other powers that we didn't get from Voldie.
"We only knew it was opened fifty years ago and that this girl Myrtle died" my mom said. Moaning Myrtle. I thanked them, and ran back to the common room. I told the others about what my parents had said.
"Harry, quidditch match" I reminded him the next day. We went to the quidditch pitch and got on our brooms. We began the game, but then something slid through the pitch in the background and only I saw it, well, a tiny bit of its tail. I began to feel lightheaded.
"HALEY" Harry screamed. I was falling downward, towards the ground and off my broomstick. Harry and the others forgot about the game and began to evacuate the pitch. Harry zoomed towards me and caught me right before I hit the ground. He laid me gently on the ground.
"HARRY! HALEY" my dad yelled bursting into the field at a run. My mom, Remus, and a big black dog followed him. I was half conscious and half unconscious. My mom covered her mouth when she saw me.
"Remus" I managed to get out. I was hoarse and sounded like I was dying. It also felt like I was dying too. Remus bent down and picked me up in a Fireman's carry. I couldn't move even if I tried.
"Hales, what's wrong" Harry asked. Concern was etched on his face. My mom and dad looked at me as did Remus and Padfoot. Remus had tears sliding down his face. He really did love me like a daughter.
"I-I-I'm in the a-a-a-arms o-o-of the a-a-a-angels" I choked out. The others knew what I meant. Remus began to run and the others followed suit. My other abilities were going crazy and reacting with each other like they've never done before. The reaction was affecting my body and beginning to kill me.
"Hales, can you here me? I need you to stay with me" Harry's voice said cracking. I felt someone shake me, Harry. I've been Harry's best friend and confidant since we were born. I'd be what identical twins call the 'second part of their souls'.
"Haley, sweetheart, please stay with us. I need my little girl" my dad cried. I wished I could hug him tightly, I didn't want to leave them. I had too much to live for. I had a boyfriend, good friends, a great academic score, good books, good homes, and most importantly, a great family.
"D-D-D-Dad" I croaked. I was afraid to die, I'd be leaving so many wonderful things behind. Harry needed me, dad needed me, mom needed me, Dudley needed me, Draco needed me, Remus needed me.
"Haley, honey, I love you so much" my mom said. My mom, the best mom in the world, my best friend. She was the one who originally got me into books and as much as possible out of trouble.
"Haley, I may not actually be part of your family, but I love you very much" Remus said. They were saying their goodbyes, they knew I was dying. Partly from the basilisk and partly from the messed up powers. There was also something else that was killing me, something that none of us knew.
"L-L-Love you guys" I said. I began to drift, but I tried to hold on. I held tight. There was someone else that I needed to say goodbye to. Draco burst into the room at St. Mungo's out of breath.
"Haley! Haley, don't go" he yelled. He was beginning to cry, something I'd never seen him do. He ran to my bed and the others parted knowing that he had to do this or he'd never forgive himself.
"D-D-Draco, I…….." I began. I was cut off by him crashing his lips against mine. He was letting his tears fall onto my face. The tears were hot.
"Please promise me you'll wait for me. I know it's not my time, and I won't kill myself, but just promise me you'll wait for me to come" he asked. I wanted to stay with him, but that wasn't my choice.
"I-I-I'd d-d-d-do t-t-that even i-i-if you didn't ask me" I told him. I felt Draco smile behind his tears. I left the world and everyone in it behind.
