Yo! Thank you in advance for the reviews! Lol. I only posted the last chapter sixty minutes ago so I don't have any but I am sure that Ill have some soon. So anyway I hope you liked the last chapter coz this one wont be as long and it will take place a few weeks later.
Due to the never ending work load in the past the few weeks, Harry and company did not have time to discover the entrance to the chamber. Snape, feeling they were lagging behind, gave two essays every weekend. McGonagall was giving them a test every month in an effort to keep their minds occupied instead of focusing on the goings on a school. They were been given double the amount of work load in charms and dark arts too. Lockhart was examining their "ever growing minds" weekly with tests; usually the questions were based on him. It was nightmare for Harry who also had to go training nearly every night since the big match with Hufflepuff was coming up. The second last game of the season. Mid February and there had already been three more attacks. Everybody was very wary especially of one another since nobody bar Harry and company knew who was responsible. The worst part of all was that many of the students now feared Harry since he sub-consciously realised that he was a parstle tongue. Not even Ron and Hermione were sure of him anymore. The only person he felt he could talk to was Ginny. She understood what it was like to be different; growing up in a house full of boys. At the same time she couldn't believe that Ron, Rob and Hermione would shun him.
"They didn't shun me Gins. They just….."
"…..Are scared to be talk to you incase you set a snake on them?"
Harry half laughed and reluctantly agreed.
"Look Harry……I don't know why you never knew until today that you were a parstle tongue but if you want my advice….go and talk to Dumbledore. He will surely understand why."
"Ya…..ya maybe your right Gins. That might not be such a bad idea. Thanks."
"What for?"
"Talking to me…..listening and not running away from the sight of me."
"Harry……I will always be here for you. And don't worry about Ron and the others. Ill sort them out."
"Alright. Thanks. I suppose I better go and see Dumbledore then."
"Okay. Let me know how you get on thought wont you?"
"Ya of course." Harry replied as he rose from the common room couch. Ginny stared after him and smiled.
After Harry climbed the stair case he knocked hard on his head masters door. Harry entered on request.
"Harry…..what brings you here? Is anything the matter?"
"Well Professor…..I learned something today……about myself."
"Indeed? Well Harry do please take a seat and tell me all about it."
"Thank you sir." Harry said politely smiling as he pulled out a chair.
"Today in the duelling club when Snape and Lockhart were teaching us blocking spells….um….Malfoy and I ended up duelling one another and he conjured a snake. So I began talking to it in English but apparently I was speaking in parstle tongue. What I don't understand is how I could spoken a different language without knowing it…."
"Harry…..have you ever spoken to snakes before?"
"No never sir. That is what is so weird……"
"Well Harry I believe I may have solved your predicament for you. You see the night that Voldemort attempted to kill you, his powers as you know were destroyed." Harry nodded…."He gave you that scar as a result of it and I feel that it is possible that he may have passed on some of his powers to you, unintentionally of course. It is nothing to fear Harry. Look upon it as a gift."
"A gift? But sir many of the other students are terrified of me. They think that I am responsible for opening the chamber of secrets. Hardly any of my friends will look at me never mind talk to me….."
"Harry calm yourself. Everything will soon be uncovered. Would you like a gum drop?"
"No thank you….."
"I understand that Remus Lupin has taught you some very useful defence spell mechanisms."
"A couple but not a lot because well Sirius wants us to uncover the entrance and….."
"Remus promised to teach me more over the summer holidays."
"Well now……that is very nice of him. You two get along quite well then?"
"Yes very well. And I know what you are going to say next but I know what you are going to say next…..Remus already told me that who offered him a teaching position here next year."
"He has agreed to fill the position Harry. I feel that he will be a great asset to this school…."
"I feel the same way." Dumbledore smiled at him.
"Well is there anything else Harry?"
"No sir…."
"Very well then…off you go. But Harry if you need me for anything you know where to find me."
"Yes thank you sir." Harry smiled back at Dumbledore before rising and leaving his office.
Back in the common room Ron, Rob and Hermione were being read the right act from Ginny.
"How could you think that Harry was the perpetrator? What has he ever done to convince you otherwise? He has always been true to his word, loyal to his friends and that is the thanks he gets in return? You all should be ashamed of yourself! Harry is the kindest, most generous, sweetest guy I have ever….."
"Thanks Ginny for all that." Harry said coming up behind the couch and grinning at her.
"Oh…..Harry. Hi…well I was just telling this bunch of nut balls off for how they have acted towards you since this afternoon."
"….And I appreciate it. I know you guys never meant to shun me but I get why. It's cool honestly. It must have freaked you out I'm sure but Dumbledore explained everything to me so….are we cool?"
"Yes of course!" The trio shouted at once as they ran and hugged him all together. Ginny just stood back and smiled from the distance.
"Alright you guys I have a plan. We have to go down to the girls bathrooms where Moaning Myrtle is and find out where the chamber is. This all has to stop once and for all. So who is with me?"
"ME!" The trio once again declared which Harry laugh a little.
"Alright let's go you guys. Ginny are you coming?"
"Oh no Harry I have to um….finish off some transfiguration essay. McGonagall will freak if I don't hand in tomorrow since it's already a week over due.
"Alright if you're sure?"
"Yes I am but thank you."
"No problem Gins. Ill see you later so."
"Ya…." She smiled back at Harry who winked at her before exiting through the portrait hole.
Ginny breathed in deeply before heading up to her room. She had no essay for McGonagall she just didn't want to go with Harry because she didn't trust herself.
Hermione opened the bathroom, door as they all followed her inside. Myrtle was sitting up on the window sill sighing to herself . At the sound of voices she turned around. She spotted Harry and began acting a little coy.
"Hey ya Myrtle."
"Hello Harry. How are you?"
"I'm good thanks. And you?"
"Fine thank you. What did you want?"
"Well is it true that you were killed fifty years ago by the basilisk?"
"Oh yes….it was terrible Harry. I was so scared. I was being bullied once again and I ran in here to take refuge you see and um….I heard a boy's voice so I opened the cubicle door to tell him to back off but I never got the chance to that because…..I died."
"Just like that?" Harry asked.
"Yes….." Myrtle replied through tears and wailing.
"Did you not see anything before you died Myrtle?"
"Um….."
"Think Myrtle please because this is really important……."
"Well the sink where you are standing next to…..I saw huge yellow eyes emerge from it about a second before I died….."
"Really….this sink here?" Harry asked pointing to it.
"Yes that one there."
"Alright thank you Myrtle." He smiled at her which made her look abashed. Harry just stared at her quizzically. She returned to her ledge as Harry said to his friends who had congregated around him now.
"This is it you guys. This is the entrance to the chamber of secrets."
Okay so what did ya think? Was it alright? I know it was rushed but I want to finish it in the next couple of days! I am sorry if it was disappointing for you but I swear I have BIG plans for The Prisoner of Azkaban! Talk 2 ya:) :)
