Chapter 7: The Secret Chamber
The three students and two pirates stared at the wall. Apparently Haru's yell alerted the staff and fellow pirates about what was going on. They got there and saw what happened.
"What with all this water?" asked Luffy noticing the large puddle of water.
"Mrs. Norris!" yelled Filch.
Dumbledore removed the cat, "She isn't dead. She is merely petrified." Explained the wise old Professor.
"Petrified… what does that mean?" asked Luffy.
"It means that she was turned into stone." Explained Hancock.
"So your one the that did it!" shouted Flitch.
"No I am not!" shouted Hancock, she turned to Lockhart and smiled seductively "Oh Gilderoy…"
"Yes Han...." Sad Gilderoy fighting off a blush.
"Love Love Beam!" shouted Hancock before he could finish his sentence, forming a heart shape with her hands and shooting a beam.
The teacher was hit by the heart shaped beam turning him to stone. His entire body was grey, his hair, his clothes, his eyes… everything, unlike Mrs. Norris who kept her coloring desptire being turned to stone.
"As you can see there differences in what I do and what ever attacked Mrs. Norris did." Explained Hancock.
Flitch gritted his teeth, "What about you." Turning to the five that found the scene.
"We were just coming from the death day party down stairs." Said Haru.
"Why were you at the Death Day Party?" asked Snape.
"A better question is why was Brook at a Death Day Party." Said Luffy.
"I was punishing him for what he did the other day." Said Perona.
"We all knew about it." Said Nami, Hancock, Kaya, Marguerite and Robin.
"Pervert…" muttered Sanji figuring out what it was.
"Right now we should be talking about what Brook did in the women's room." Sighed Hancock, "Or if the punishment was too extreme or not."
Kaya and Marguerite thought the punishment was too extreme, while Robin… um… she really didn't give her input.
But that was besides the point!
"What about Mrs. Norris!" shouted Flitch.
"Don't worry, Pomona is growing some mandrakes this year." Said Dumbledore, "Once they're mature we can give her some restorative draught."
Flitch gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Now before we clear up everything…" said Snape, "I would like to ask Hancock if she could leave Lockhart like that for the night."
"I'm fine with it." Said Hancock with a smirk.
With Hancock writing a note to the students to not break the Professor turned stature. They left him there.
The next morning, Hancock found the Lockhart stature, vandalized of course, What caught her attention was the underwear on the head and the banana in the ear.
"Who keeps doing that?" she thought.
In the great hall at breakfast, Haru was gorging himself on breakfast.
"He missed dinner last night… so that's what going on." Said Kaien.
"Yeah." Said Hermione.
With what was going with Mrs. Norris, they just headed up to the Gryffindor Tower with Haru somehow forgetting he had portal powers.
Haru finished his meal, patted his stomach.
"I'm so full!" said Haru.
"Does your stomach lead to another dimension?" asked Ron staring at the stacked plates.
"I don't think so…" said Haru, "I wonder who this heir is."
"What do you mean?" asked Tom joining the table with Yosopp.
"You didn't hear the gossip?" asked Haru.
"We were in our morning conversation with Luna." Said Yosopp.
"You should pay more attention." Said Nojiko.
That was when Maya and Hina arrived.
"Ginny's upset about what happened to Mrs. Norris." Said Maya, "I tired to calm her down and cheer her up but she didn't want to talk."
"It's okay… we'll get her to open up." Said Hina.
"I wonder who the heir is." Said Ron.
"What heir." Said Tom.
"The one who opened the Chamber of the Secrets." Said Haru.
"What's that some kind of secret chamber?" asked Yosopp.
"If it's called the Chamber of Secrets then it must be some kind of secret chamber." Said Ron.
"Stop!" yelled both Hina and Hermione.
"This is like a bad comedy routine." Said Hermione.
"Can't you just find out later?" asked Hina, "Isn't you history class today?"
"We do have our History Class today." Said Haru, "Maybe we'll find out."
And so it was time for classes, the first class of the day. However Pro. Binns the really boring ghost teacher droned on and on about something involving the Goblins.
However students kept interrupting him asking him about the Chamber of Secrets. The incredibly boring History told them that about how Salazar Slytherin disagreed with the other founders of Hogwarts about letting in Muggle-born Students. This eventually escalated to where he left the school. But before he did he supposedly built a secret chamber or Chamber of Secrets as it was known holding some kind of monster in there. Why, to kill every single muggle born. Of course after class the school got wind of it.
That afternoon in the library, they discussed it.
"I think that Malfoy might be the Heir." Said Haru.
"He does hate Muggle-borns…" said Hina, "So it would make sense."
"Do you really think Malfoy would do that?" asked Hermione.
"Says the Muggle-born." Said Hina.
"You know the 6 of us would be considered Muggle-born since we will be able to be witches and wizards." Pointed out Maya.
"I think Devil Fruit would counter that… if we add in Devil Fruits, I'm more of a pure blood while Tom is a half blood… but the rest of you would be Muggle-borns." Said Hina.
"Let's not focus on that." Said Hermione.
"I think Malfoy could be the Heir. I over heard Draco using the M word around some Muggle borns while talking about it." Said Nojiko.
"We should get some info about it." Said Hermione.
They began to lay down some plans about how to get that information form Malfoy.
"I have heard of this potion called the Polyjuice potion," said Hermione, "It allows someone to transform into another person for an hour. But it takes a couple months to brew."
"That would be interesting… but I have a better idea." Said Hina, "Why don't I interrogate him."
Everyone stared at the Pirate Princess.
"Wouldn't that just get false information?" asked Haru.
"I'm not going to beat him or torture him…" said Hina, "In fact I'm getting bored of it. I know it's fun to torment him…. But it's actually getting really tiresome. If we do with the me interrogating him route it won't be that violent using only his fear of me."
"And besides if Hina does that, you three won't get into trouble for using a possibly illegal potion." Said Tom.
"Well the potion is in the restricted section of the library." Said Hermione.
There was an awkward silence.
"Let Hina handle it." Said Haru, "After all I have more things to worry about… like the upcoming Quidditch game with Slytherin."
When that sentence came out of Haru's mouth they knew his brain began to reprocess his priorities.
"Oh man… I should go practice my flying if I want to show I'm better than Malfoy." Said Haru who suddenly created a portal and left though it.
The other eight sighed knowing this won't be brought up again until the game was over. Fortunately by this time Ron and Hermione was used to it.
Next Time: It's Haru's first game against Draco! Seeker VS. Seeker! However the game was tainted, a Bludger was cursed to only attack Haru! Who's doing is this! And will Haru make it out the game? Find out next time!
