Hey guys
I have just seen the favs and follows of this story and it is the second most popular story I have made so far. Thanks a lot for that. Enjoy the chapter.
A week later
Everyone was in the great hall having breakfast and Harry sensed a familiar energy and it felt similar to Ana. The large double doors opened and the person who entered was Lucius Malfoy and walked to Albus.
"Oh no." Ana said.
"Lucius. What are you doing here?" Albus asked.
"I demand a resorting for my daughter Anastasia." Lucius said.
Ana then felt someone's hand of her shoulder and it Raven giving a look that said 'everything will be alright.
"I don't see why your daughter should be resorted." Albus said.
"She is a Malfoy and the Malfoys belong in Slytherin. I don't know who tampered with that hat, but I will make sure she goes in Slytherin." Lucius said.
"You're mistaken dear boy. The hat cannot be tampered with. It was charmed by the founders to put students in the house they are most suited for. The charms they put on it also protects it, so it cannot be tampered with." Albus said.
"I don't care Albus. I want another sorting done for my daughter. Otherwise could have the staff fired one by one on charges of bad teaching." Lucius said whispering the last part to him.
Albus sighed and rubbed his eyes.
"Very well. I will get the Sorting hat, but its answer will be the same." Albus said as apparated out of the hall.
Lucius walked to the Ravenclaw and stood across from Ana.
"Come Anastasia. You will be sorted to where you should be." Lucius said.
Ana went to stand up, but Harry grabbed her shoulder.
"Stay where you are Ana. The hat sorted you in Ravenclaw and that's where you are staying. Malfoy or not." Harry said.
"Her name is Anastasia. This doesn't concern you Heir Potter." Lucius said.
"I know what her name is Lord Malfoy and it is a nickname we came up with. Besides I always help my friends and right now I'm helping my friend Ana." Harry said behind him which made Lucius turn around.
"She is a Malfoy and she will go where a Malfoy belongs." Lucius said grabbing the metal snake which was attached to his wand.
"The sorting hat doesn't care if she is Malfoy. It placed her in Ravenclaw and that's where she is staying." Harry said as they stood face to face glaring at each other.
"You're pushing your luck Potter." Lucius said.
"No Lucy. It is you whose pushing your luck. You have no idea what I'm capable of." Harry said as he powered up and his rainbow coloured magic aura appeared.
Then Albus apparated back into the hall with the sorting hat in his hand. He saw both Harry and Lucius.
"That is quite enough you two. Miss Malfoy." Albus said.
Ana walked up to Albus and he conjured a chair for her. She sat down the hat was placed on her head.
"I see your father is not happy about where I placed you." The hat said in her head.
"No, he isn't." Ana said.
"Yes. I can tell he wants me to place you in Slytherin but like I said last week, you have cunning, but you have a great mind. You are more like your mother, I should have placed her in Ravenclaw like I did with you, but she chose Slytherin not because she wanted to be but because she was afraid of the wrath of her Aunt Walburga. I wish she was as brave as her cousin Sirius Black. Fortunately, you have that bravery as he did which is why I placed you in Ravenclaw because you wanted to." The hat said which made Ana smile.
"Thank you." Ana whispered.
"You're welcome. RAVENCLAW!" The hat shouted.
Harry smiled. His smile disappeared when he saw Lucius' face turn red with angered.
'Not good.' Harry thought.
Lucius grabbed his wand and pointed it at the hat.
"PLACE HER IN SLYTHERIN NOW!" Lucius shouted.
"I will not place her in Slytherin because she is more suited to be in Ravenclaw." The hat said out loud.
"Incendio." Lucius said.
Before he could fire the spell, he felt someone grab his arm.
"Not so fast Lucy." Harry said.
"Let go of me Potter." Lucius said.
"No. I'm protecting the hat and my friend. If your fired that spell then you could've killed Ana. Your daughter." Harry said.
"I'll kill you if you don't let me go." Lucius said loud enough for Harry to hear.
Harry shook his head
"A piece of shit like you couldn't kill me." Harry said as he bent Lucius' lower arm. The teachers cringed when they heard his bone creak. Lucius screamed as Harry let him and go and fell to the ground. Lucius held his arm in pain. He saw his bone poking out of his skin.
"Get him to the infirmary." Albus said.
"You will regret making me your enemy today Potter." Lucius said.
"You don't scare me. I'm faced foes who are more powerful and dangerous then Voldemort." Harry said and everyone in the great hall besides his friends and mother shake in fear.
"Don't say his name." A student said.
"Honestly. This school is mostly filled with a bunch of wimps. Shaking in fear because of hearing a name. I wonder how Godric Gryffindor would feel about people in his house who shake in fear all because of a name." Harry said as he removed the hat off of Ana's head and walked back to the Ravenclaw table with her.
"You shouldn't have done that." Tonks said.
"So? I'm not scared of a Death eater." Harry said.
"My father was tried for being a Death eater and was cleared because he was under the Imperious curse." Ana said.
"Which proves how dumb the wizarding world is. Have you seen the mark on his arm?" Harry asked.
"Lots of time." Ana said.
"Then he's a Death eater. Let me explain something Ana. You can only get the mark willingly. It is impossible to obtain it unwillingly. Think about it." Harry said.
"That's a good point. Didn't the ministry know that?" Hermione asked.
"They did but some ministry officials were bribed and the others were just lack common sense to remember that piece of information." Harry said.
"That's disgraceful. They join the ministry to put criminals away and yet they take bribes." Hermione said.
"I know but don't worry Hermione, one day things will change." Harry said.
'I'll make sure of it.' Harry thought.
"Who knows what will happen in the future." Tonks said as the bells rung.
"Time for class. See you later you three." Harry said.
"See you later." Raven said as Harry patted her shoulder.
1 week later
Harry, Susan and Neville left the Charms class.
"Are we meeting everyone in the great hall?" Susan asked.
"I can't. Got detention with Lockfart." Harry said and they snickered at the nickname.
"Ok. See you later Harry." Neville said as he and Susan walked another direction.
10 minutes later
He past the muggle studies class and saw he saw Lockhart and Lily. Lily had a disgusted look on her face which meant he was flirting with her.
"Come on beautiful. How can you say no to a date with me?" Lockhart asked.
"Simple. No. I do not want to go to Hogsmeade with you." Lily said.
'Not again.' Harry thought.
Ever since the year started, Lockhart was asking Lily out of dates nearly every day which she declined every time. He saw Lily reaching for her wand.
"Come on. We're both single." Lockhart said as he grabbed her ass.
Lily punched him and grabbed her wand.
'That's it.' Harry thought.
He went to form a Ki blade from his hand but Lily put her and hand up stopping him
"Don't ever touch me again Lockhart. I am not interested in you and I never will. You had better leave me alone otherwise I'll hex you so much that you'll wish you never flirted with me. Understand?" Lily asked.
"Yes." Lockhart said.
"Good." Lily said putting her wand away.
"Right then I'll take my leave." Lockhart said and then noticed Harry.
"Ah young Harry. If I remember correctly you have detention with me now so you follow me." Lockhart said walking away.
"I feel bad for you that you're having detention with him." Lily whispered.
"Thanks." Harry said.
"If he gives you any grief you tell me." Lily said.
"I'll will. See you later." Harry said as Lily kissed his forehead.
5 minutes later
Harry and Lockhart entered the dark arts office. Harry saw magic picture and envelopes.
"Now then Harry. Can you think a better way to have detention by helping me answer my fan mail?" Lockhart asked with a smile.
'You gotta be kidding?' Harry thought.
3 hours later
Harry yawned with boredom. All he did was write letters for Lockhart. Of course, Lockhart told him what to write. He put the quill he had down and rubbed his eyes. Lockhart used a tempus spell.
"My word look at the time. It's nearly time for students to head back to their dorms. I've kept you here longer than I planned. Well time does fly when you are having fun." Lockhart said and laughed a bit.
'You call this fun?' Harry thought.
"Off you go." Lockhart said.
Harry picked up his bag and left the classroom.
"Thank god for that." Harry said to himself.
"Kill. Kill." A voice said.
'Who is that?' Harry thought.
"Kill. Kill." The voice said again.
Harry placed his ear against the wall. He kept his ear against the wall as he walked down the corridor. The voice kept repeating the same word as it got louder. Harry then jumped as he went around the corner and saw his friends expect Raven, Ana, Luna and Tori.
"Jesus." Harry said.
"Are you alright?" Hermione asked.
"Did you hear that voice?" Harry asked.
"I didn't hear anyone." Tonks said.
"Neither did I." Susan said.
Harry then heard the voice again.
"There it is again. How are you not hearing it?" Harry asked.
"Harry there's no voice." Hermione said.
Then Harry heard the voice again but this time it was distance and he ran towards it.
"Harry where are you going?" Tonks asked as they followed.
They ran until they came across Mrs Norris. There was also writing on the wall which read. 'The chamber of secrets has been opened.'
"Harry what the- Oh my god. Isn't that Mr Filch's cat?" Susan asked.
"What happened to her?" Tonks asked.
"She's not dead. I can feel a very faint energy so she's still alive." Harry said.
Then other students appeared and saw Mrs Norris.
"Move out of the way! What's all the fuss about?" Mr Filch asked as he passed the students.
He stopped when he saw his cat. He looked at Harry and the others.
"You did this." Mr Filch.
"We didn't. We just found her." Hermione said.
"You did this to my cat. I'll kill you!" Mr Filch shouted.
"Mr Filch!" McGonagall shouted as she and the other teachers appeared.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
"We don't know professor. We found her like this." Susan said.
"They're lying. They did something. They killed my cat." Mr Filch said.
"No we didn't Filch. The professors can check our wands." Harry said.
"Argus. Mrs Norris is not dead. She is petrified." Albus said.
'Oh no.' Harry thought.
"Professor Sprout and Madam Promfrey can make an antidote which will cure her. I do not believe that they have done it. They were just at the wrong place at the wrong time." Albus said.
"Someone did this to my cat. I want to see some punishment." Mr Filch said.
"Whoever did this will be punished but until then we have to find the culprit." Albus said.
"Maybe it was one of them. My money is on Potter." Snape said.
Lily glared at him.
"It wasn't me." Harry said.
"Then why weren't you at the feast this evening?" Snape asked.
"He had detention with me. I kept him longer than I should have." Lockhart said.
"If I remember correctly Harry's friends were at the feast and left with most of the students." Flitwick said.
"Now that we've cleared that up. Everyone but the teachers off you go." Albus said.
Every student left. Lily then grabbed Snape's neck and slammed him against the wall.
"I am so sick of your grudge. If you ever accuse my son again I will hex you so much, you'll be in St Mungos for the rest of your life." Lily said as she let him go.
"Do you think it's true Albus?" McGonagall asked whispering.
"Not entirely sure yet. We can't be sure yet. If the chamber has been opened again then we need to find the person responsible quickly." Albus said.
"Again?" Lily asked.
"You heard that?" McGonagall asked.
"Yeah." Lily said.
"Alright. I'll explain." McGonagall said.
Meanwhile
"What is the chamber of secrets?" Susan asked.
"I've never heard of it." Hermione said.
"It's the end of the world. There's another thing Hermione DOESN'T know." Tonks said.
"Shut up." Hermione said.
"Seriously. What is it?" Daphne asked.
"No idea. What do you think it is Harry?" Neville asked.
Everyone looked, and he was gone.
"What the hell?" Tonks asked.
Harry was back in his private room.
'I can't believe this. How is Voldemort doing this? That must be it. One of his horcruxes must be here but what is it? Who has it?' Harry thought as he remembered when he was told about Voldemort's Horcruxes.
1 year ago
Harry went to visit his ancestors and tell them about what happened. He entered the house and saw one of them watching TV.
"Harry my boy. Just in time. My favourite program is about to start. Muggle technology is so amazing." He said.
"That's not what I'm here for. Where is everyone?" Harry asked.
"They went out. What are you here for?" He asked.
"I found out at Gringotts that I had a Horcrux in my scar. It has been removed and my scar is gone." Harry said.
The man sighed.
"Sit down Harry. It's time you finally knew." He said.
"Knew what?" Harry asked as he sat down.
"We've always known that you were a Horcrux. We were able to peak into the living world for certain moments and Voldemort created 7 Horcruxes." He said.
"7?" Harry asked.
"That's right. Unfortunately, we couldn't peak long enough to know what objects Voldemort put his soul fragments in. All except one. You. He never meant to create another one." He said.
"Horcruxes requires someone to kill an innocent person in cold blood. Voldemort never killed Mum or James." Harry said.
"True. There is magic that even we don't know about. Your mother's love created something that blocked the killing curse. What happened was that Lily unconsciously activated some sort of soul duplication spell which the killing curse hit and when that happened a part of Voldemort's soul latched itself onto the closest living thing it could find." He said.
"I didn't know such a spell existed." Harry said.
"Magic is an enigma Harry. Not even Merlin himself could solve its mysteries." He said.
"What objects would Voldemort put his souls in?" Harry asked.
"They could be anything Harry. Let's not worry about that now. You need to get ready for Hogwarts." He said.
Flashback ending
'I need to find it ASAP.' Harry thought.
The next day
"Today we will be transforming animals into water goblets. The wand movement and spell is simple. 1 2 3 Vera Verto." McGonagall said and her bird transformed into a silver goblet.
"Now. Who would like to go first? Mr Weasley." McGonagall said.
Ron cleared his throat like he always does and did the wand movement without saying the numbers.
"Vera Verto." Ron said and his rat partly transformed.
The other students laughed.
"That wand needs replacing Mr Weasley." McGonagall said.
Harry chuckled. He still couldn't believe that Jack and Ron crashed into the Whooping Willow. He saw Hermione put her hand up.
"Yes, Miss Granger?" McGonagall asked.
"I was wondering if you could tell us about the chamber of secrets." Hermione said and McGonagall sighed.
"Very well. You deserve to know. As you might know, Hogwarts was founded a thousand years by the four greatest witches and wizards of that era. Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Three of the founders coexisted in perfect harmony but one didn't. Salazar wanted to be more selective when it came to the students of Hogwarts. Can you guess who he wanted to be selected?" McGonagall asked.
"Purebloods." Hermione said.
"Correct. He believed that magic should be kept in magical families. Unable to convince the others he left the school but before that he created a chamber known as the chamber of secrets. According to legend only Salazar Slytherin's true heir by blood can open the chamber." McGonagall said.
"What is inside the chamber of secrets?" Hermione asked and McGonagall sighed again.
"No one actually knows what is inside the chamber but there is one thing that is known to be inside. It is said that the chamber is known to be the home… of a monster." McGonagall said hesitating for a second.
"What… kind of… monster?" Ron asked.
"No one knows. It is also known that the Heir of Slytherin can only control it. Of course, is it only a legend. The school has been searched many times but the chamber has never been found." McGonagall said.
The bell then rang and everyone left.
"Did you see McGonagall when she was explaining the story?" Daphne asked.
"Yeah. She was worried." Susan said.
"She knows more than she's letting on. Some of the other teachers were worried about the chamber." Neville said.
"What do you think about the story about Slytherin? Do you think he has an heir?" Neville asked.
"I've read about Slytherin before. It never said anything about him having an heir. Apparently, he's killed a lot of Muggles because they were inferior to wizards." Hermione said.
"Who does that remind you of?" Daphne asked.
"What do you mean?" Susan asked.
"Who in more recent history had large hatred of Muggles?" Daphne asked.
"Voldemort." Neville said.
"I know it's a long shot but what if Voldemort is an heir of Slytherin?" Daphne asked.
"Sounds possible." Hermione said.
"What do you think Harry?" Hermione asked.
Harry didn't answer. He looked like he was deep in thought.
"Harry? Helloooo?" Hermione asked waving her hand in front of his face.
"What?" Harry asked.
"What do you think about the story about Voldemort being the heir of Slytherin?" Hermione asked.
"It's possible. They have a lot of similarities." Harry said.
They then entered the great hall and sat at their usual spot at the Ravenclaw table.
"Hi Harry." Raven said hugging him.
"Hey Raven. How were your lessons today?" Harry asked.
"They were ok. Some of the second year Ravenclaws were picking on Luna again today." Raven said and Harry sighed.
"Is it true about what happened to Mrs Norris?" Ana asked.
"Yeah. She has been petrified. We don't know who or what done it." Harry half lying.
"We'll found out." Tonks said.
Done
Sorry for taking so long. Had a bit of an issue these past couple of weeks. Family business but I will say this. My dad's fiancée died. Anyway. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and stick around for the next one. This story will be updated after this one again and you know the reason why. See you soon.
Peace.
