A/N: Sorry it took awhile to update. I hope you liked it.

Harry and Ron followed the spiders and were caught by Professor Lockhart.

"Ah young Harry and Ron!" he exclaimed. "By the way, is it true that you are Minerva's son?"

"What makes you think that?" asked Harry.

"Harry!" exclaimed Ron. "Didn't somebody say that a girl was found dead in the girls' room?"

"Moaning Myrtle!" exclaimed Harry.

Ron and Harry ran to the girls' room and found the sink with the snake head on it. Harry spoke in Parsyltongue and it opened into the Chamber of Secrets.

Meanwhile, Albus had Minerva brought down to the Chambers to face the snake.

"This snake will not harm you unless Tom or I tell it to," said Albus as he gave Minerva a piercing look. Then Minerva saw Ginny on the ground and started screaming.

"Ginny!" screamed Minerva.

"She can't hear you," laughed Albus.

Then in came Harry Potter. Apparently, Lockhart tried to perform the memory charm on Harry and Ron and it backfired, causing Ron to stay with the nincompoop to prevent him from doing anymore damage to himself and others.

"Mum!" screamed Harry as he ran towards her and then he saw Ginny. "Ginny!" He bent down and touched her cheek. "Gin."

"Harry, take Ginny and leave now!" screamed Minerva.

"No!" cried Harry.

Then Severus arrived and knocked Albus out with a spell and freed Minerva. Severus picked Ginny up and Minerva wrapped her arms around Harry.

"Harry, I was so scared," cried Minerva. "Thank Merlin you are all right."

"Nothing can ever happen to me," smiled Harry. "You know that, mum." Minerva hugged Harry even tighter and then Severus, the unconscious Ginny and Albus, the delusional Lockhart, the annoyed Ron ("Lockhart is really buggard!"), Minerva, and Harry left the Chambers.

Albus was then turned over to the Ministry. He was to serve sixty hundred years in Azkaban, but escaped in his phoenix animagus form.

"Now what?" asked Minerva.

"Well, we strengthen the Wards at Hogwarts against him," said Severus.

"Harry, you are to stay in Hogwarts-no excuses!" said Minerva.

"But Mum, I want to go to Hogsmeade with the rest of the third years next year," said Harry.

"No!" said Minerva.

"But mum-," started Harry.

"No!" said Minerva. "Now go to your room while Uncle Severus and I try to figure something out."

Harry went to his room angry.

"Min, we can't make him hide forever," said Severus.

"Yes we can," said Minerva. "He has an invisibility cloak that used to be his father's. I still have it from when I confiscated it from him years ago."

"But you need to explain to Harry that it is only to be used in emergencies and not for sneaking around," said Severus.

Minerva nodded in agreement.

The next day, Minerva presented Harry with an invisibility cloak.

"This was James, your father's invisibility cloak at one time," said Minerva.

"Cool!" said Harry. "What's it for?"

"In case of emergencies and only emergencies," emphasized Minerva.

"Okay mum," said Harry.

Of course, Minerva did not specify what was an actual emergency.

Minerva still refused to sign Harry's permission slip to go to Hogsmeade for the day. Harry so desperately wanted to go to hang out with his friends and drink butter beers and eat chocolate frogs. So in a way, Harry thought it was an emergency.

When he was sure that his mother and the other students (who did not have the Dark Lord after them) went to the village, Harry slipped on his invisibility cloak and followed them.

When he got there, he found Draco and his goons harassing Ron and Hermione. He thought he would have some fun and throw snowballs at them.

Later that night, when everybody was sound asleep, Harry crept into his mother's chambers for a midnight snack. While he was in there, he heard crying.

"Mum?" he asked as he went into her bedroom.

"Oh Harry," said Minerva as she wiped her tears away. "What do you need, son?" "I heard you crying. Is everything all right?" asked Harry.

"Oh Harry," said Minerva as she wrapped her arms around him. "I am so scared. I had a nightmare about Albus and you." "Mum, nothing will happen to me," said Harry. "Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around." Minerva smiled. "Oh Harry, you are such a brave lad."

"Demons are prowling everywhere now adays. I'll send them howling, I don't care, I got ways," smiled Harry. "No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare. Others can desert you, not to worry whistle I'll be there. Demons are prowling everywhere, but in time, nothing can harm you, not while I'm around."

"Oh Harry," Minerva smiled as she stroked his hair. "I worry about you so much still." "Not to worry, I may not be smart, but I ain't dumb. Let me do it, put me to it, show me something I can't over come, not to worry mum," smiled Harry.

"I know," smiled Minerva. "You better get back to bed."

"Night mum," said Harry as he kissed her cheek.

"Night son," said Minerva right before Harry left her room. She laid in the darkness and looked at her ceiling.

Albus was still running around and so was Lord Voldemort's soul. Minerva was afraid for her son and did not want to lose him.

She stared at the ceiling, hoping for an answer.

Meanwhile, Severus was in the dungeons, coming up with a way to propose to his beloved Minerva.
