"So you mean to say that Harry has to go and fight a big old snake. Not just a snake, a class XXXXX monster, who can kill with a look?" Asked Fred incredously. "Not fight Fred. He has to go and talk to her." Said Daphne. "Yes. She is Salazar's familiar. She was kept in the chamber to protect the school incase Hogwarts was attacked." Said Hermione. "Okay. So where is Harry now?" Asked George. "He's here, isn't he?" Asked Hermione looking around. To her dismay, he wasn't to be found. "HARRY JAMES POTTER! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" she yelled.
Meanwhile with Harry
Harry had gone to the second floor bathroom where he knew from Salazar's memories, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was located. Suddenly a ghost of a girl popped out. "Hello. Who are you?" Asked Harry, kindly. The girl gave a loud wail and cried out," No one knows my name." And dived in a cubicle. Shrugging, Harry went to the taps and spoke in parseltongue. "Open." The tap went down and a space opened. "Stairs." Stairs appeared on the way down. Harry took the stairs and climbed down. He soon reached another of the doors on which snakes were there. "Open." Said Harry. The door opened as though it had a regular tune up of oil on its hinges. He went inside and was overwhelmed by the amount of magic inside the chamber. He saw Salazar's portrait in front of him and said,"Speak to me Salazar Slytherin, the greatest of the Hogwarts Four." In his mind Harry was giggling at the sentence. The chamber opened, and out slithered a Very Big Snake. "Master is that you?" Spoke the snake. "My name is Harry Potter. I'm a descendant of Salazar." Spoke Harry. "Like the false master?" Roared the snake. "No. I'm nothing like him. He is a murderer. I am going to end his reign." Said Harry. "Well done on the answer, youngling. My name is Salashara. I'm the original basilisk of Salazar Slytherin. The Basilisk which the forgerer used was killed by me later on. But unfortunately the deed was done. And I couldn't do anything." Said Salashara and started wailing. "Hush Salashara. You are still needed to guard the school." Consoled Harry. A few minutes later Salashara stopped crying. "Thank you Master Harry. How can I help you?" She sniffed. "I need some of your venom, Salashara." Said Harry. "I hope you know Master that any vials which you conjure or have gotten with you are useless." She said. "Yes. Which is why I don't want it in any vial or anything of that sort. I need it on this." Said Harry and summoned the sword of Gryffindor. "Ah, Master Godric's sword. Yes, it will be the most useful." Said Salashara. Harry placed the sword on the ground and Salashara dripped some of her venom on the blade of the sword. The blade sizzled and glowed for a minute. "The blade has accepted the Venom, Master. Now what are my orders?" Asked Salashara. "Go back and rest Sal. I'll let you know incase of any problems. Also quick question. Aren't you eyes supposed to be Yellow?" Asked Harry. "No Master. Yellow eyes belong to basilisks who are just born. A Newborn Basilisk is trained properly by the elders in gaining control of its abilities. Once they gain control, the eyes turn Sapphire Blue. We only turn them yellow incase we are threatened." Said Salashara. "Okay. Thanks so much Sal. I'll see you soon. Is there another way out from here?" Asked Harry. "Yes Master. Just walk to the right and go straight. You'll come to a portrait of Master's Salazar and Godric. Tell them the password which is Leosnake. The passage will deposit you outside the room of requirement on the Seventh Floor." Said Salashara as she slithered away. Harry followed the directions out and came to a big Portrait of Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor. "Well descendant. Got what you wanted?" Asked Godric. "Yes. Lord Gryffindor." Said Harry as he bowed. "Okay then. Speak the password and be on your way." Said Salazar. "LeoSnake." Said Harry. The door opened and he saw stairs in front of him. As soon as he climbed on them, the stairs started moving and at a point stopped where he got off and came out of the door in front of him, right inside the Room Of Requirements where his team were looking at him astonished.
