"Well did Draco tell you anything?" asked Marissa the minute Beth walked into their dormitory.
"First of all you can't just say that straight out because someone might over hear," responded Beth annoyed.
"Sorry, but did he?" Marissa responded back.
"Yes, he did," Beth replied. "And its not looking too good right now."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Marissa asked.
"Well Draco said," Beth paused and looked around to see if anyone was near by to listen. She continued in a whisper, "He said that to only way the chamber could open is if a heir of Slytherin opened it, and his last blood relative was Voldemort."
"So how is the thing getting loose," asked Marissa scared.
"Someone must have one of Voldemort's possessions that contains the information about the Chamber of Secrets," replied Beth.
"Holy crap," responded Marissa.
2 Weeks Later
"Anymore attacks?" asked Heather coming in with Fred. The two of them were still friends, but their feelings for one another had grown, but neither one knew that they felt the same.
"Nope," replied Beth having her normal breakfast of Muggle cereal. "But something can happen any second,"
"As long as people stay in pairs, we'll be fine," said Percy passing by.
"Are you freaking crazy Percy?" asked Beth annoyed. "Even if we were in pairs that freaking monster thing could attack us and either Petrify us or kill us. Our best bet is to not wander around the castle at night."
"I suggest you calm down before I dock points," replied Percy.
"You may be able to dock points for her mouthing off, which I taught her how to do, so if you dock points from her, you have to dock points from me," said Cedric coming over. "But you can not dock points for her being right, which once again she learned from me."
"He is correct," said Professor Dumbledore as he walked by. "I suggest you lay off, Mr. Weasley."
Dumbledore reached the teachers' table and went directly to the podium.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I know there have not been any attacks in the last two weeks, but as a precaution, no one is allowed to wander the halls at night."
"I wondering if he was planning that," said Marissa. "Or he could've decided to take your idea, Beth."
"If he did, I wouldn't have a problem with it," replied Beth. "Come on, we got Potions and Snape will have us if we are late."
Harry, Ron, Beth, and Marissa, along with the rest of the Gryffindor 2nd years left the Great Hall and went to the dungeons for Potions.
1 Week Later
Harry and Ron decided to talk to Mourning Myrtle, after dinner, because they believe she was the student killed the last time. As the approached the bathroom the intercom turned on.
"All student report back to their common room, immediately. Teachers, please report to the faculty lounge."
"Harry, lets go to the faculty lounge, to find out what's going on since we are nearby," said Ron.
"Yeah, sure," replied Harry.
"We may have to send the students home," said McGonagall as soon as all the teachers were settled.
"Why?" asked Professor Flitwick, concerned.
"Because the Chamber of Secrets has a student. On the wall near the girls bathroom, on this floor, it says 'Her Skeleton will lie in the chamber forever'."
All the teachers gasped as she said those words.
"Who is the young woman?" asked Snape.
"Ginny Weasley," responded McGonagall gravely.
Harry saw Ron go pale and prayed the teachers would leave soon.
"What have I missed?" asked Lockhart. "I must have fallen asleep."
"Ahhh, just the guy we are looking for," said Snape with his traditional smile. " A young girl, Ginny Weasley, has been taken into the chamber. You are the Defense Against the Arts teacher, plus you said you knew where it was, so you can go rescue her."
"Yes, that is fine," responded Lockhart with a concerned voice. "I'll be in office getting the stuff, I'll need." He then left.
