Chapter 16: Into the Chamber!
It had been a few days since the attack on Hermione, Robin and Percy's secret girlfriend… er… Penelope Clearwater. Draco was saying about how "that idiot Dumbledore" was gone from the school, Gilderoy on the other hand was bragging how he knew the location of the Basilisk (which was the common consensus of what the monster was) and was just trying the figure out the way to slay it. He also claimed that Hagrid was the one that sent it loose.
Also the students had to be escorted from class to class, expect in the case of the Gryffindor second years, which had their own safe mode of transportation.
Every other group however always carried a mirror in case the Basilisk attacked.
After all Hermione, Robin and Penelope was saved by a mirror, because after no else was saved by a mirror, they were saved by a camera (Colin), a ghost (Justin), being dead (Nearly Headless Nick), a puddle of water (Mrs. Norris) and his swords (Zoro).
"So that what's saved Zoro." Said Ron during a breakfast
"That or him so badass, the power of his sheer badass-ness saved his life." Said Hina.
Ron stared at Hina.
"It makes more sense if you knew his life story." Said Hina.
"Did he live though a lot?" asked Ron.
Hina and Haru exchanged looks.
"You'd be surprised." Said Haru.
Hina sighed, "I hate this! I'm not allowed in the castle unless it's meals, I'm with a member of the crew or I enter though one of Haru's portals into the common room." She whined.
"I know." Said Haru.
"I can't wait until Lockhart finally admits that he doesn't know where the chamber is." Said Hina.
That was when a very pale Ginny showed up.
"Haru there's something I need to you." Said Ginny.
"What?" asked Haru.
That was when Percy showed up, Ginny ran away.
"Thanks a lot Percy." Said Hina, "She about to tell us why she's pretty much herself form everyone and you made her run away."
"Please don't tell anyone about… well… you know…" said Percy.
"It will eventually come out." Said Hina.
"What's going on?" asked Ron.
"Percy has a secret girlfriend." Said Hina, "It's that girl Penelope, on the one who was petrified with Robin and Hermione."
Ron and Haru both stared at Percy, who went to slink away.
Hina sighed, "Dad's going to feed Norbert… I'm going to go help." Said Hina.
After Hagrid disappeared, Luffy had to tell the crew about Norbert in order to have some help feeding him and taking care of him. What concerned them the most about him wasn't that it was a dragon… it was the fact that Luffy trained him to act like a dog!
It made very little sense to them.
That afternoon, Luffy was feeding the dragon a large thing of meet, while Hina watched.
"Dad." Said Hina.
"Yes Hina?" asked Luffy.
"Do you know where the Chamber of Secrets is?" asked Hina.
"Why would you ask that?" asked Luffy.
"Because I get the feeling that the crew knows and won't do anything about it for some reason." Said Hina.
Luffy sighed, "Don't tell your brother unless he asks." Said Luffy.
"Why is it because it has something with Moldyshorts?" asked Hina.
There was an awkward silence.
"There's something to Moldyshorts and Haru isn't there?" asked Hina, "Like only one can defeat the other or something like that."
Luffy turned to his daughter, "Did anyone ever tell you have your mother's intelligence."
"Oh come on dad, I might have your intelligence." Said Hina, "I just didn't inherit your impulsiveness and rashness."
Luffy laughed when he heard that one.
"You want to pet him." Said Luffy.
Hina nodded, and ran up to the dragon, petting him
"He's such a sweetie." Said Hina.
This made Norbert's tail wag.
"Who's good boy? Who's a good boy!" said Hina making the dragon's tail wag even more knocking down a couple trees.
"Hina… promise you'll keep this from Haru for the time being." Said Luffy.
"I know…" said Hina, "He still needs to learn more about being a wizard… right?"
Luffy nodded… that was the reason why he didn't want Haru to know about the Prophecy yet…
A few days later, Haru was trying to stay awake in History class… that was when he suddenly woke up with a thought.
"That's it!" yelled Haru.
"What is it Mr. Mondale?" asked Pro. Binns.
"Sorry… I was just having a weird dream." Laughed Haru, "Sorry…"
After all classes were over, Haru and Ron went to the Thousand Sunny, where he saw Hancock and Hina talking about something.
"Do you know where Perona is?" asked Haru.
"No… why?" asked Hancock.
"Because I have the feeling she could find The Chamber of Secrets." Said Haru.
"Well about that…" said Hancock.
"Let me guess you found it a while ago… and kept it from me unless I brought it up." Said Haru.
"Your father thought it would be a good idea." Said Hancock.
"Makes sense.'" Said Haru, "So where is it?"
Before Hancock could answer it, Usopp showed up breathing heavily.
"It's bad, really bad…" breathed Usopp.
"What is it?" asked Hancock.
"Ginny was just kidnapped!" yelled Usopp.
"What!" yelled Ron.
"There was a message saying "Her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever!"" yelled Usopp, "Not only that but Lockhart is being sent into it by the staff."
"That's where bragging get a person." Said Haru.
"Where would he be right now?" asked Hancock.
"Probably packing up in office trying to get away." Said Hina.
Haru created a portal to the place.
"Thanks Usopp." Said Haru.
Usopp gave a nod.
"Haru I'm coming with you." Said Hancock.
The three kids and one adult went though the portal, to where Gilderoy was indeed packing up.
"Oh hello Haru, Ronald, Hinagiku, Hancock." Said Gilderoy like it was nothing.
"What are you doing?" asked Haru.
"I have no idea where the Chamber is! So I can't take out the Basilisk." Said Gilderoy.
"So you're leaving?" asked Haru.
"I know where the Chamber is." Said Hancock.
Gilderoy stopped what he was doing.
"You do?" asked Gilderoy.
Hancock smirked, "In fact you're going to help us take it out."
Before he could say anything Hancock told Haru.
"It's in Myrtle's bathroom." Said Hancock.
Haru created a portal to Myrtle's bathroom… well actually two. One below Lockhart and one for himself, Hina, Hancock and Ron to enter.
Gilderoy rubbed his butt as the other entered though the portal.
"There's no entrance here." Said Gilderoy.
"No there is… I can't believe I didn't notice this sooner." Said Haru.
"You were only here once." Said Ron.
"Oh… right…" laughed Haru, he created a small portal at arm length, he reached into it and grabbed his hat and put it on.
That was when he opened another portal… the group entered it, with Gilderoy being dragged in by vines, not knowing what to expect other than a giant snake that could kill by looks.
This was going to be an interesting fight.
Next Time: Gilderoy reveals the truth he didn't do any of those things... that's um... shocking... However when he threatens them, Hancock finally gives him he deserves! What is it? Also Haru realizes he must go into the actual chamber alone! What will happen? Find out next time!
