During the first week of December Professor McGonagall came around with a list for anybody who is staying at Hogwarts over the break to sign. I signed it since my brothers and I are staying at Hogwarts this Christmas. Hermione and Harry are also staying which means Im going to have to think of something really good to give them but it can't be that good since I have very little money.

Christmas is the next thing Im looking forward to or at least I thought it was until one day when I was walking across the entry hall. There was an announcement posted on the wall saying that Dueling Lessons were to be starting.

I would love to learn how to duel so after eight on Tuesday I headed down to the Great Hall where the whole school was gathered around one long table, covering the length of the Great Hall. I stood by my roommates, who smiled at me as I approached but went on with their conversation as if I wasn't even there. Scream in your sleep one night and your treated as if you might explode for the rest of your life.

"Gather around, Gather around," No, please no, not... Darn it it is Lockhart. Lockhart is going to teach us to duel? I would rather have Fred and George feed me to the Giant Squid then have this idiot try to teach me well anything. "Can you all here me? Can you all hear me?" Unfortunately I thought, as I glared up at the blonde man dressed in bright plum robes. Im still mad at him for what he did to Harry. I actually would prefer if Snape taught us then Lockhart.

Speak of the devil, I thought as I saw Snape on the other end of the dueling platform. I hope Snape kills Lockhart, come to think of it I would like love it if they kill each other. No more evil Potions teacher and no more boring Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.

Snape and Lockhart stand on either side of the dueling platform, wands pointed at each other.

"Expelliarmus," Lockhart flew against the wall, his wand flying out of his hand. I love Snape for the first time in my life and now I know a how to disarm somebody.

Snape and Lockhart moved through the crowd, pairing us all up to try dueling among ourselves.

"Anderson and Evans, Crabtree and Flannigan, Weasley and Lovegood," Snape said as he reached me and my roomates. "I do hope you are a better at dueling than you are at Potions Miss. Weasley," Snape said nastily before leaving to pair up Neville Longbottom and some boy with the last name Finch-Fletchley.

"You evil git, why don't you pick on someone other than me for a change," I said under my breath as I watch Snape pairing up Ron and Seamus Finnigan.

"He does like to choose one person to be extremely mean too, doesn't he?" I whipped around and there stood Luna Lovegood, staring dreamily at me.

"Yeah, he does. He always picks on me but I just assume it's because he hates my whole family."

"Don't worry he picks on me in my class too, but I think it's because I told him he had a wrackspurt in his head."

"A what?" I asked, feeling extremely confused.

"A wrackspurt. They fly in your ears and make your brain go all fuzzy."

"Oh, right," I say. I have never met anyone like Luna Lovegood before.

"Face your partners," Lockhart called. "And bow to them."

I faced Luna and bowed. Luna did a very graceful curtsy before standing back up and pointing her wand towards me.

"On my count of three, cast your spells to disarm your partner and only to disarm. One... Two... Three..."

"Expelliarmus," Luna and I shouted at the same time. Both of our wand twitched in our hands, since we both are first years and hardly know any magic.

"That wasn't very good at all, let's have a volunteer pair." Lockhart said. "How about Longbottom and Finch-Fletchley?"

"I thought volunteer was when the students volunteered not have you choose for them." I said. Luna giggled.

Harry was walking up to the stage,along with Draco. I feel bad that Harry has to duel Draco but I know that Harry can take the slimy git.

Lockhart is showing Harry some type of wand movement that would have been impressive if Lockhart had not dropped his wand.

"Oh well, don't worry Harry. Just do what I did," Lockhart said as he picked up his wand.

"What? Drop my wand?" Harry said to the laughter of numerous people in the hall.

"One... Two... Three... Go." Lockhart said.

"Serpensortia," Malfoy said. A black snake flew out of his wand. I recoiled, I hate snakes!

"Don't move Potter. I will get rid of it," Snape said. However Snape continued to just hold his wand, smiling as he watch the snake approach Harry.

"I'll do it," Lockhart said and with a bang the snake flew in the air. When the snake landed it was mad and moved towards the boy Neville was partnered with, fangs wide and hissing mad.

Harry instantly darted forward, his wand outstretched and shouting something. Although it didn't sound like anything in English, it was a hissing. Harry was hissing at the snake. What's he trying to do speak it's own language? I concentrated on Harry, watching his lips move as he approched the snake, "Leave him alone."

The snake left the boy alone but the boy was not thankful. "What are you playing at?" The boy shouted at Harry before turning around and running out of the hall. That wasn't very nice of that boy, Harry was just saving him from the snake.

"What did he say?" I turned around and there stood Katie.

"Didn't you hear him?" I asked her.

"No, it sounded like hissing to me." Katie said.

I saw Fred and George near by, standing with their mouths open. "What was that?" I asked them.

"That little sister was Parsletongue. Harry is a Parslemouth."

"What?"

"It means Gin that he can speak snake language. Harry can talk to snakes."

"Or maybe he was just possessed by a blibbering humdinger, they do that sometimes, you know?" We all just stared at Luna, not sure what to say.

I heard the hissing but when I concentrated on Harry I could also hear what he was saying. Does that mean Im a Parselmouth too?

"What does it matter if Harry is a Parslemouth, it's not like it's a bad thing?" I said.

"It is though," Fred said in a serious tone, that I didn't know he had.

"Why?"

"Parslemouth is the sign of Slytherin, why do you think their symbol is the snake?" Fred said.

"Their symbol is the snake because Salazar Slytherin could talk to snakes?" George continued.

"What are you two saying exactly, that Harry is related to Salazar Slytherin. Both you and I know that's nonsense." I glared at them.

"He could be, Slytherin lived a long time ago, he is so old that he is past Dumbledore's time." Their is the joking George I know and sometimes love.

"He's not!"

"Face it Ginny, he might be."

"NO MIGHTS! He isn't and that's finally," I glared at the two of them before leaving the Great Hall.

Once I was in the hallway I let my fears get the better of me. What if Harry is a decendent of Slytherin because he can speak Parslemouth. Does that mean I am to? I was able to hear what Harry was saying. I remember what I told Tom after Colin was attacked, How I could be the heir of Slytherin because Im a pureblood and all purebloods are related. What if Im the heir of Slythein and I really did attack Colin and Miss Noris.

I have to write to Tom, he will know what to do.

Tom Harry is a Parslemouth

What? How did you find this out?

We were at the Dueling Club and Harry was partnered with Draco Malfoy to duel in front of the whole school. Malfoy did this charm that made a snake came out of the end of his wand. The snake was going for Harry but then Lockhart hit it with some spell trying to get rid of it. This is all Lockharts fault, just like after the match. Why can't Lockhart keep his wand to himself?

Why? What happened to the snake?

It just flew in the air but that didn't make it happy so it went for the closest person it could find, some boy with the last name Finch-Fletchley. Harry talked to the snake and now the whole school knows he is a Parslemouth. That isn't the worst part Tom.

It get's worse, how could it get worse?

Now the whole school thinks Harry is the heir of Slytherin because he can talk to snakes.

He's not though, right?

Of course Harry isn't the heir of Slytherin. I think I am.

Ginny not this again...

Tom I heard what Harry said to the snake, at first I only heard the hissing and then I concentrated on Harry and I heard him say, 'Leave him alone.'

You heard?

I heard

You heard?

I heard

You heard?

Tom stop, I heard okay, besides heard is beginning to look a little funny to me.

Sorry, but the fact that you understood Parsletongue doesn't mean that you are the heir of Slytherin, understand?

I do understand but I would rather be blamed for these attacks then have Harry be blamed for these attacks.

Wow, you really do care for him, don't you Ginny?

I do and you know what you gave me some confidence Tom.

You have confidence no to stand up and defend Harry

I do and I will!

I must save Harry, I must save Harry. I got out of bed, dressed and headed out of the common room. All of a sudden I was in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom looking for the tap with the snake on it.

"Open," I hissed. "Oh, come Great monster of the Greatest House of the Greatest master. Im the heir of Slytherin and Im here to finish your great master's greatest task.

I walked until I found the perfect target, their the boy who was so mean to Harry at the Dueling Club. I sniff the air, yes he is muggleborn, perfect. This will teach you to go prattling on about stuff you don't know anything about. How could Harry Potter be the heir of Slytherin, you gigantic prat, when I am.

I hear footstops coming down the corridor, I duck out of the way so nobody can see me. Harry? No, Harry go back. This is not a place for you to be seen. Harry sees the scene and knows that he shouldn't be here but he is still standing there. Move Harry, go somewhere where you won't get in trouble.

The chaos that followed is one I wish never happened. When I attack again, I will attack you Peeves, you have made me mad and deserve what will happen to you. From now on when ever somebody makes me mad they will get what's coming to them. I will keep on attacking until I achieve my great masters greatest dream, that Hogwarts be rid of all who are unworthy. Hogwarts will soon be muggleborn free as it should have been from the very beginning. If not that Hogwarts should have been muggleborn free when I first opened the Chamber fifty years ago.
