The sinks lifted to reveal an entrance going downwards.

The chamber.

Lockharts eyes widened.

"Excellent Lydia! Well...Umm I suppose there's...no need for me to stay!"

With that he quickly attempted to speed away but Harry and Ron held him back.

"Oh yes there is!"

Harry then pushed Lockhart back into the sinks almost making him fall down.

We all pointed our wands at him.

Harry looked towards me...a glimpse of fear in his eyes.

He turned back round to the sweating man.

"You first"

"Now now you three what good would that do?"

His voice trembled...I almost wanted to laugh at his begging.

Ron then pointed his wand a little closer to him.

"Better you than us"

Lockhart slowly turned his head to peer into the entrance.

He then turned round.

I so badly wanted to push him.

"You sure you don't want to test it first-"

Fuck it.

I kicked him straight in the back pushing him down the hole.

Harry and Ron both looked at me concerned.

I just smiled.

His screams stopped as we heard him hit the ground.

Then we heard a small echo from below.

"Really quite filthy down here..."

Harry begun to slowly walk toward the entrance me and Ron following behind.

"Right, let's go"

Suddenly Myrtles ghostly voice rung from behind us.

"Oh Harry, if you die down there your welcome to share my toilet..."

"Thanks Myrtle"

I could tell by the tone of his voice he was nervous.

But I was terrified.

If he dies down there then I'll probably never see my friends ever again...I'll never see Hogwarts again.

Harry suddenly leaped down into the hole.

Ron turned to me...

"Lady's first?"

"What?! No!"

I then pushed him down too.

I had to give myself a minute before I risked it all...

If we kill him, I'll be able to live freely...

What on earth am I on about! Kill him?!

He's one of the most powerful wizards in the world and we are...just a bunch of twelve year olds and a useless adult.

I took a deep breath and...jumped.

The tunnel was dark and winding.

I couldn't help but scream.

I then sped out of the hole and landed with a crunch.

It sounded like a bone.

Fuck sakes of course I'm the one with a broken bone.
