A/N: Hey, I'm back! Sorry for the long wait. I usually do a weekly update, but right after I published the last chapter, I went on vacation without wifi, so I couldn't update. Then, the next weekend, I went on vacation again, but it did have wifi, but I forgot my laptop. :P Then, after that, I had to start finishing reading my summer reading list and doing my summer math homework, so that took up most of my time. Then school started. So, finally, I'm updating. Enjoy! Oh, and thanks for the three reviews I got!

Oh! Also, there is parts from the book, so those parts are italicized.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, but I have all the imagination in the world. Okay, that's lame.

Chapter 3: Finding the Note

I've been Petrified for a while now. I really don't know how long, at least a week, I think. I can't really tell time when I'm Petrified. So, one day, I heard Ron and Harry come into the hospital wing with much hesitancy from Madam Pomfrey.

"There's just no point talking to a Petrified person," Madam Pomfrey said, exasperatedly. That's what you think. Soon, they started talking to me. Find the paper, find the paper, find the paper! Then our lives will be so much easier.

"Wonder if she did see the attacker, though," Ron said eventually. Yes, yes I did, Ron. "Because if he sneaked up on them all, no one'll ever know." Well, that's the point of the mirror, Ronald.

Soon, I could then feel Harry's breath come closer to the hand that was clenched to the paper. YES! HARRY, GRAB IT! He then pointed out that there was something clenched in my hand. YES! GRAB THE PAPER, HARRY!

"Try to get it out," Ron whispered to Harry. I could hear the sound of a chair moving, so I'm assuming Ron moved his chair to block Harry from view. After much struggling to get the paper out, Harry finally got it out. THANK GOD!

They started reading it, and I could have screamed with excitement if I wasn't Petrified at the moment. I could hear Harry gasp faintly. He must have figured it out! YES!

"Ron, this is it. This is the answer," Harry whispered. THANK YOU! "The monster in the Chamber's a basilisk-a giant serpent! That's why I've been hearing that voice all over the place, and nobody else has heard it. It's because I understand Parseltongue…"

After a few minutes of them figuring out why everyone was Petrified, they left the hospital wing because apparently, it was almost time for break. Not long after they left, there was an announcement from Professor McGonagall.

"All students to return to their House dormitories at once. All teachers return to the staffroom. Immediately, please," Professor McGonagall said over the announcements.

Oh, I hope it's not another attack. Oh God, I feel bad for if it is. I heard Madam Pomfrey's frantic footsteps walk out the door.

A few minutes later, Madam Pomfrey came in along with Professor McGonagall. I could tell Madam Pomfrey was crying.

"So, they took her to the Chamber itself, Minerva?" Madam Pomfrey asked. The Heir took someone to the Chamber? Oh my God, that's worse!

"Yes, but remember, Gilderoy will try to save her," McGonagall replied with a tone to her voice. After a second, she said, "She's doomed. Poor Ginny Weasley is doomed."

Ginny…
