Heir to the House of Black

It's a snake skin

Harry, Orion, Ron, and a captive Lockhart, made their way to the second floor corridor girl's bathroom where they found Moaning Myrtle floating around the bathroom.

"Oh, who's there?" Myrtle asked as the boys entered the girls bathroom. "Oh! Hello, Harry." Myrtle said affactionatly. "What do you want?" she asked.

"To ask you how you died." Harry replied.

"Oh, it was dreadful. It happened right here in this very cubicle." she said pointing down at one of the cubicles. "I'd hidden because Olive Hornby was teasing me about my glasses. I was crying, and then I heard somebody come in."

"Who was it, Myrtle?" Harry asked.

"I don't know. I was distraught! But they said something funny, a kind of made-up language, and I realized it was a boy speaking, so I unlocked the door to tell him to go away, and... I died." she said as she floated up to Harry.

"Just like that? How?" Harry questioned confused.

"I just remember seeing a pair of great, big, yellow eyes... over there by that sink." she said pointing over to one of the sinks and then floating away.

Harry walked up to the sink and began to inspect it. He twisted the faucet but no water came out, he then looked on the side of the faucet finding a snake carved into the faucet. "This is it. This is it guys. I think this is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets." he said backing up next to Orion and Ron as they all looked at the sink.

"Say something. Harry, say something in Parseltongue." Ron suggested.

Harry then stared at the sink for a moment before he started hissing at the sink. The top of the sink then came off as all the sinks seperated from each other and the sink in front of them then sank into the ground and was covered up.

Lockhart went over to the edge and looked down into it and saw a tunnel that descended into a pit of blackness. He then stepped back nervous, "Excellent, Harry. Ah, good work. Well then, I'll just be... There's no need for me to stay." he said and tried running away but was caught by Orion and Harry.

"Oh, yes, there is." Harry said as he and Orion pushed Lockhart towards the sink entrance where he almost fell in if he hadn't grabbed the sides to stop himself. Harr, Orion, and Ron then pointed their wands at him. "You, first." Harry said coldly.

"Now, boys, what good will it do?" Lockhart asked.

"Better you than us." Ron stated.

"Um, but... Obviously, yes." he turned around to look down the tunnel. "Sure you don't..." Lockhart didn't get to finish as Orion was getting very annoyed at this point with all the waiting.

"Oh for the love of-" Orion shook his head annoyed as he proceeded to spartan kick Lockhart into the tunnel who fell down screaming like a girl the entire way down until they finally heard him crash down at the bottom.

"It's really quite filthy down here." they heard Lockhart say from the bottom.

"All right. Let's go." Harry said to Orion and Ron.

"Oh, Harry." Myrtle called out getting their attention. "If you die down there, you're welcome to share my toilet." Myrtle said flirting and giggling.

"Gross. I'm out of here." Orion said looking between Harry and Myrtle before he jumped down the tunnel.

Orion came out of the tunnel sliding across the bones before getting his bearings and standing up with his wand pointed at Lockhart who was busy trying to get the dirt off his clothes. A few seconds later Orion could hear the screams of Harry and Ron going down the tunnel before they too flew out of the entrance sliding across the bones. Harry and Ron stood up and pointed their wands at Lockhart as well will Ron noticed what they were standing on, bones.
