"Okay we'll wait for harry outside meet us there and be quick please!" said Hermione
"I will! so it's the charms book for 2nd years, the never ending book of potions and the best book of wizarding history?" I asked her again going through the list of book she recommended to me
"Yep!" she smiled.
"Okay I'll see you in a minute!" and with that I ran off to the library, on my way there I was stopped by Jonathan Devon a 2nd year Slytherin I often felt sorry for him, he was always on his own just watching other students run around with their friends I barely ever talked to him. He mostly mutters and I sat next to him in transfiguration so I had to talk to him some times. "Oh hello Jonathan are you okay?" I asked him, he seemed to mutter something to himself but I couldn't make it out "I was wondering if…" then he started muttering to himself, the only words I could make out were Potter, annoyed, and stupid
"never mind" he said then stalked off in a sulk, so I carried on to the library. The Library was full of little first years looking excitedly through books as they read about something that was probably along the times of Dragons or Trolls...ugh...trolls.
Anyway! By the time I came back I was coming up behind with my books in my hand when I was Ron aim his wand at Malfoy ad then get shot back on to the ground. I dropped my books and ran to him and kneeled next to Harry "is he okay?" I asked causing Harry to jump
"When did you?" he was cut off when Ron vomited up a slug and I pulled a clearly disgusted face,
"wow!" said Colin Creevey a little first year Gryffindor "can you turn him around Harry?" asked Colin excitedly
"No Colin get out the way!" exclaimed harry incredulously. Me and Harry heaved a very pale and sickly looking Ron up to his feet "let's take him to Hagrid" added Harry before Ron coughed up another slug "He'll know what to do!". Another slug... We all ran to Hagrid's hug pulling Ron along with us.
When we got to Hagrid he sat Ron down and gave him a bucket. I saw Hermione looking very pale and watery eyed "Hermione… are you okay?" I asked concernedly and put a hand on her shoulder
"who was Ron tryin' te curse anyways?" asked Hagrid
"Malfoy" replied Harry in Disgust "he called Hermione a … well I don't know exactly what it mean" sighed harry
"Hermione what did he say?" I asked very concerned for my teary eyed friend. She turned to face me with tears frightening to spill in her eyes and said "He called me a Mudblood" I gasped as did Hagrid, I knew what it meant Ron had told me in the summer "Oh Hermione" I sighed
"What's a Mudblood" asked harry as I pulled my crying friend into a hug.
"It means dirty blood, Mudblood is a really foul name for a Muggle born someone with none magic parents… someone like me" she finished. Hagrid explained to Harry how some wizarding families believe they are better then everyone cause their pure bloods, "Don't you think on it Hermione, Don't you think on it for one minute" Hagrid told my weeping friend. I realized I had left my book's outside so I dismissed myself making sure Hermione was okay and told them I would see them next lesson, whatever hatred I had held for Malfoy has now risen by about two hundred percent.
That night at dinner Harry wasn't there because he was in detention with Lockhart, I was kind of jealous of him being with the Gildaroy Lockhart! "Come on let's find Harry" said Hermione and we all got up to find Harry. On the way I bumped into Jonathan
"Oh sorry Jonathan" I said but he just kept his head down and Kept walking I was about to asked him if he was alright when I literally bumped in to Harry, a little clumsy today are we Georgia? I thought to myself "Oh sorry Harry!" I said but his face looked distant, as if he was listening intently to something "Harry?" I asked looking questioningly at him "that voice" he replied looking at us
"Voice, what voice?" asked Hermione
"I heard it first in Lockhart's office and then again just now… I think it's going to kill!" he gasped and then ran off, rather quickly and we had trouble catching up
"Harry wait not so fast!" I shouted after him and we tried to catch up.
When we did catch up with him he was staring at something on the wall "The chamber of secrets has been opened enemies of the heir beware" Hermione read out "it's written in blood" we all stared at the wall till harry saw Filches cat hanging by something on the ceiling,
"Mrs Norris" Harry breathed walking over to the poor cat
"That cat was asking for it" Ron said
"It was a horrible little rat anyway" I elbowed him sharply in the ribs and shook my head.
"Potter" we heard Filches dreary voice "what are you? ..." he was about the ask when he saw his beloved cat hanging for the ceiling "you killed my cat" he said dangerously low "I'll kill you!" he exclaimed getting closer to Harry as crowds of students and teachers started to crowd round "I'll kill you!" he shouted even loud
"Argus" Professor Dumbledore stepped in, we hadn't even noticed the gather crowd around us "you cat is not dead, but she has indeed been petrified" he stated.
"Ah so lucky I wasn't there I knew exactly the counter-curse that could have spared her!" Lockhart chipped in, people looked at him as if to say 'no is not the time' but he was only trying to help! I had a horrible feeling that this was the start of something bad, something dangerous... Oh Christ please not again!
