Disclaimer: Harry Potter does not belong to me. Blah blah blah. This is sooo tedious. But necessary.


A.N Wow! Reviews! Lol I should get Harry to talk to you guys more often! Here are my replies…

Cup in a mug: Thank you for you lovely review, please keep reading and reviewing my friend:D

Kez192: Sure you can join the mad club! Meeting are held every blue moon and we serve jam doughnuts and muffins. Thanks for reviewing. :D

Ginny278: Thank you for your review. Your support is much appreciated.

James Jago: Thanks for the advice. I will do that and see if the text improves. As for Ginny's pre-marital nerves, well we must remember that Harry Potter is set in the 1990's and even back then, the whole "equal sex" thing was still very new. In England it was anyway. Also, if you look at the Weasley family, Mrs Weasley does the cooking, cleaning, washing and everything for her husband and family. So naturally, Ginny would expect to do the same for Harry. However, coming from a total different upbringing Harry will not allow her to do this, Ginny had nothing to worry about, but of course, she didn't know that.

GreenInsanity: Thank you, I thought it was a rather ingenious idea of mine…lol. Keep reading and reviewing!

GriffindorRulez: That was such a cool review. Thanks a lot! I'm turning pink…lol. Yes the Chamber of Secrets…I liked reading about that…so of course I just had to put it into one of my fics.

Lily 101: lol sorry for the misspelling. It's the most annoying thing ever when people spell your name wrong. Sorry. Chamber of Secret? Simply because it's the safest place Voldemort and stinking Malfoy can escape to. As for this chapter being longer than the last…yikes, that's a tall order. takes a deep breath Alrighty, here we go…cracks fingers and types rapidly


Mayhem

Harry and Ron walked towards the large doors of Hogwarts. Since Dumbledore's death the charms and curses protecting the school were automatically disabled. Professor McGonagall was planning to set more charms on the school but Harry defeated Voldemort the world was at peace and she no longer felt the need.

If the situation was not so awful Harry would have been happier to be back at Hogwarts. To reminisce about his school days and converse with Ron about their adventures which seemed so trivial to them now. Adulthood brought much harder and more deadly trials.

But Harry was not happy to be back. He did not clap Ron on the shoulder and point towards Hagrid's abandoned hut and remind Ron of the time he tried to curse Malfoy and ended up throwing up slugs for a whole afternoon. Instead, Harry continued to walk, breathless, gripping his wand tightly and looking straight ahead.

Ron had given up on asking Harry what happened. Instead he walked at his side solemnly. Harry looked at him and noticed a few lines had appeared near Ron's eyes. His face was pale and his eyes lost their humour. It was clear that Harry was not the only one worried about Ginny.

They reached the doors.

"Ron, Voldemort has Ginny in the Chamber of Secrets," Harry murmured.

Ron looked at him.

"But it was destroyed in our second year." He said quickly. Harry shook his head.

"There's a part that still survives, Ginny's there. With Voldemort." He said firmly. Harry wondered whether he should tell Ron that Malfoy was also there, anger seared in Harry's heart and as he remembered his sneering face. No, he wouldn't tell Ron.

The two men hurried along the halls and of Hogwarts. The large tapestries, decorative paintings and moving staircases looked no different from the last time Harry had seen them.

The halls were empty as it was the summer, Harry knew that no one would be at the school and he thought with hate that Voldemort knew that too. Well at least there won't be a repeat of Harry's sixth year. He mentally shook himself out of his thoughts and he and Ron approached the girls bathroom.

"Harry!" Gasped a delighted Myrtle who floated out of one of the cubicles. Harry smiled grimly and strode to the sink.

"Open." He said in paseltongue. Ron grabbed his arm as the sink moved to reveal a large opening. Harry looked at Ron who gave Harry a serious look.

"I'm with you all the way this time." He said firmly. Harry nodded.

"After you," Harry said, Ron scrambled through the hole and disappeared.

"Why are you going down there?" Whimpered Myrtle, obvious distraught that Harry did not talk to her. Harry turned and noticed that she was now close to his left shoulder. One more inch closer and he would feel a rush of cold.

"Voldemort is down there. That's why," Harry said strongly, Myrtle drew back and gasped. Wet tears trickled down her transparent cheeks. She blinked furiously through her thick glasses and floated in mid air, not saying a word.

Harry didn't have time to comfort dead people. If he wasn't quick his own wife would be dead. With that thought Harry pushed himself through the hole and slid down the old pipe.

Once at the bottom, Harry stood and stumbled over the bones which littered the floor. It was too dim to see anything in detail but Harry could make out Ron's figure sat on the floor.

"What took you so long?" Ron's voice asked as the figure got to it's feet.

"Myrtle," Harry replied grimly. Ron didn't say anything, instead he turned to face the long tunnel that led to the Chamber of Secrets. Harry got out his wand.

"Lumos," he muttered. Ron did the same and their wands lit the tunnel. Harry and Ron looked at each other and nodded before they both began to walk. Suddenly a very familiar woman's voice struck the two of them from behind.

"What do you think you are doing?"

Harry and Ron turned quickly, their wands shone towards the bossy woman who had her wand pointed at the two of them. Her lips were pursed and she gave the two men a disapproving look. Ron lowered his wand and stepped forward looking slightly relieved.

"Hermione, what are you doing here?" He asked as he took her into his arms. When they broke apart Hermione still looked annoyed.

"I came here to inform Minerva that Voldemort has returned. This school is no longer safe. Unfortunately I met Myrtle on the way and she told me that you two have come down here alone, with none of the order members, no back up and most likely no plan –because that's just what you always do- to fight Voldemort! So naturally I followed." Hermione said.

"But you don't know how to speak paseltongue!" Ron exclaimed. Hermione gave him a look.

"And you think that could stop me? I used a simple charm to blow up the sink," Hermione said matter-of-factly. Ron and Harry stared.

"You blew up a sink?" Harry repeated amazed. Hermione nodded.

"I'll repair it when we leave," she said. Ron closed his mouth.

The trio were silent for a few minutes until a scream shattered the silence. Harry, Ron and Hermione started and exchanged panicked looks.

"We better go save Ginny," Harry said quickly as the three spun round and ran along the tunnel.


A.N I hope this is long enough for you. I apologise for my delay in updating, unfortunately I got flu and couldn't go to school and as my story is on my computer at school...well you can understand I'm sure.

Please Review! If I get more than 10 I will update sooner and make the chapter longer! That's a promise!
