CHAPTER 17: RON & HERMIONE PROBLEMS.

"Ow!" Jessie cried "Don't shove!"

"Sorry." Ron muttered "I just wanna get good seats."

"We will. Relax." Jessie sighed "And if not then people will move fast."

Jessie stuck her wand under his nose.

"I don't wanna see you jinxing anyone Jessie." Hagrid said coming up behind Ron.

"You won't." Jessie grinned.

Hagrid gave her a look.

"Seriously."

"Professor McGonagall is looking for you two." Hagrid said.

"The game-"

"It's been cancelled."

"What!" Ron and Jessie cried.

"Come on. Off we go." Hagrid directed the two 12 year old's down the stands.

"HERMIONE'S PETRIFIED!" Jessie shouted in shock spotting Hermione on a hospital bed.

"She was found near the library." McGonagall explained "Along with this." She held up a mirror "Does it mean anything to any of you?"

"No." Jessie said while Harry and Ron just shook their heads.

"Can I have your attention please." McGonagall said coming into the common room.

Jessie turned on the step she was standing on, one below the landing Harry and Ron were standing on.

"Because of recent events. The following rules will be put into effect immediately. All students will return to their house common rooms by 6 o'clock every evening. All students will be escorted to each lesson by a teacher. No exceptions."

"Well that's going to seriously cut into our prank time." Fred muttered quietly to George.

Jessie reached over and smacked Fred on the shoulder. When he turned to look at her she pressed a finger to her lips, indicating he needed to be quiet.

"I should tell you this, unless the culprit behind theses attacks it caught it is likely the school will be closed."

As soon as McGonagall left, the room broke into hushed whispers.

"We've got to talk to Hagrid! I can't believe its him, but if he did set the monster loose last time he'll know how to get into the chamber of secrets. And that's a start." Harry said.

"But you heard McGonagall!" Ron hissed as Jessie moved up to the landing "We're not allowed to leave the tower except for class."

"I think its time to get my dads old cloak out again." Harry said.

"Follow the spider! Follow the spiders! If Hagrid ever gets out of Azkaban I'll kill him!" Ron shouted as he, Harry and Jessie walked around to the front of the car.

All three jumped when the car slammed the doors, backed up and drove back into the forest.

"I mean what was the point of sending us in there!" Ron huffed "What've we found out?"

"We know one thing. Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets. He was innocent.

"Many fearsome beats roam our land, but none is more deadly then the basilisk. Capable of living for hundreds of years. Instant death awaits any who meets this giant serpents eye. Spiders flee before it. This is it the monster in the Chamber is a basilisk! That's why I can hear it speak. Its a snake."

"But if it kills by looking people in the eye. How come no ones dead?" Ron asked.

"Because no one looked it in the at least not directly." Jessie reasoned "Colin saw it through his camera, and Justin had to have seen it through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast."

"Nick's already dead. He can't die again." Harry added as they walked "And Hermione. The mirror! I bet you anything she was using it look around corners, in case it came along."

"And Mrs. Norris? I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror." Ron asked.

"There was water on the floor that night." Jessie replied "She only saw the Basilisks reflection."

Harry glanced down at the page before hurrying over to a torch.

"Spiders flee before it. It all fits!"

"But hows it been getting around? Someone would've seen it."

"Hermione's answered that too." Harry said pointing out the word 'pipes' in the bottom right corner of the page.

"Pipes! It's using the plumbing!" Rom exclaimed.

"Remember what Aragog said about that girl 50 years ago? She died in a bathroom. What if she never left?" Harry asked.

"Moaning Myrtle!" Jessie realized.

"All students will return to their house dormitories immediately!" McGonagall's voice came over the magical intercom "All teachers to the second floor corridors at once."

Jessie, Harry and Ron raced down the corridor towards where the teacher were. Once the cam to the corner they stopped and stood where they couldn't be seen.

"Our worst fear has been realized. A student has been take by the monster and into the chamber itself." McGonagall explained "The students must be sent home. I'm afraid this is the end of Hogwarts."

"Sorry. Dozed off, what have I missed?" Lockhart asked striding over to the teachers.

"A girl has been snatched by the monster Lockhart. You moment has come at last." Snape responded.

"My mmoment?" Lockhart stuttered.

"Weren't you saying last night that you've known all along where the entrance the chamber is.

"Well that's settled. We'll leave you to handle the monster Gilderoy." McGonagall said "Your skill after all is legend."

"Very well." Lockhart smiled "I'll be in my office, getting, getting ready." With that he strode back down the corridor.

"Who has the monster taken Minerva?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

"Ginny Weasley." Professor McGonagall replied.

As the teachers walked away Harry, Ron, and Jessie saw the words in blood on the wall

HER SKELETON WIL LIE

IN THE CHAMBER FOREVER

Ron read the words quietly before saying "Ginny."
