Disclaimer – Ok I haven't written one of these yet. You get the idea anyone who isn't my creation belongs to J K Rowling.

An – I have finished my GCSE's after 3 years. Now I have a 2 month break thank goes so I'll be updating more I expect. Thanks to all those who have stuck with me so far, the action is starting soon enough. Anyway won't say anything else as I'm bound to give something away. Thanks again.

Slytherin's chamber?

Anya spent most of her school year trying to track down the "Gaunt" family but couldn't find anything; they appeared to have vanished into thin air. She had become somewhat obsessed and so had her brother, she needed to find her family she had to know the truth.

She was in the library again, the librarian had banned her for a month and would have for longer if she hadn't sweet-talked one of the teachers and reminded them that this was her OWL year. Anya felt confident in her exams, nothing was really a challenge for her and she was an expert at potions. Zarian was meant to be meeting her there but had been kept back for cursing a Gryffindor, not that the little weasel hadn't deserved it.

Bored with waiting she pulled out her books and started to read through them. "Bored, bored, and bored" she muttered to herself after only 15 minutes, she had already learnt all this. She abandoned her books at the table and walked between the shelves looking for something interesting. "Restricted section" a sign said separating part of the library, no way was she gonna be able to get in there, well not then anyway. She continued along the shelves occasionally picking up a book and placing it into its correct slot, "some people had no respect for books" she thought angrily. Out the corner of her eye she noticed a small green book with looked to be old, it stood out of place and Anya sighed thinking it had been put back wrong and went to correct the mistake. When she reached it however she noticed that it did in fact belong there, but why was it so small amongst the larger volumes of text. Picking it up, she glanced at the title written in gold thread "Slytherin's chamber – fact or fiction". Intrigued she flicked through the pages before walking back to her seat, why had she not noticed this before? She had looked at nearly every book on Slytherin but not seen this before.

The book seemed to be about 40 years old and was written by a Herbert King. Carefully she turned the first page and started to read.

She was fascinated with what she had found. According to the book Salazar Slytherin had built a hidden chamber when he was asked to leave the school, sealing inside a monster that would be able to purify the school of those he believed unworthy to study magic, namely muggleborns. The chamber could only be opened by the heir of Slytherin and only they could command the monster that lay inside. Anya smiled excitedly until she read the last couple of lines "up until this date however no such chamber has been found…" Damn, well that didn't mean it didn't exists and maybe she could find it "heir of Slytherin" well there was a small chance that was her, maybe she could find it after all those years.

"Anya? Anya?" came Zarian voice from over by the tables. She quickly placed the book in her pocket before hurrying over to him.

"Hey, I'm here" she said kissing him on the cheek and sitting down at the table, where he quickly joined her getting out his own books.

"Sorry I'm late, Dumbledore kept me in and gave me 1 week of detentions, god he's such a Gryffindor lover, you'd think there were all saints." Anya listened to his rant with a smile on her face, how did she manage to get a guy like him, he was perfect? Noticing her smile he asked "what?" he smiled at her.

She just shook her head at him and turned towards her books. After reading for a while she put the book down. "Why am I doing this again?"

"Well because you have exams in two weeks and you're slipping in History of Magic".

Anya sighed "you're right, but its so boring" she laughed quietly "you'd have thought when Professor Bins died he'd have move on, but no he's still as boring as ever."

Zarian laughed and nudged her "stop stalling, come on we have work to do."

She sighed and returned to her book.

"Ok everyone time to go please." The librarian called after an incredibly boring and long hour. They started to pack up their books when she dropped the one out of her back pocket.

Zarian reached and picked it up reading the title before handing it back to her with an expectant look. "What?" she asked innocently.

"Where did you get that?"

"On the shelf" she replied with a laugh.

"Anya…"

Anya sighed "I found it whilst looking for something to read. It's a good book."

"You're gonna look for it aren't you?" he asked with a laugh "I'm not really surprised you always look for things that have been lost."

"Maybe not everything is meant to be forgotten." She replied.

They walked out of the library and to the common room. It was full of students who hadn't gone to bed. Anya was tired though and decided she wanted to go to bed.

"Anya…will you tell your brother? About us I mean?" Zarian asked looking directly into her eyes.

Anya smile before replying "Knowing him he already knows." She kissed him and walked up to her dorm falling down on her bed.

That night she dreamed of the chamber, she could see a great stone face of Slytherin himself and could hear a hissing coming from inside. Upon the far wall was a rose with a snake climbing round it, a ribbon was tied round it saying something in a language she had never seen or heard. She walked closer and closer trying to read it, "Anya" a voice said before…she woke up. Looking at the clock it said 4 am. Sighing Anya lay back and tried to go back to sleep without dreaming.

An- there will be a drawing of that mark coz it's important, my friends on it as she's better than me. Will be on my profile asap.
