In class the next morning by Hermonie with Octavia on my head

"How you feeling?" She asked me quitely

"A bit disturbed after yesterday but well."

"Could I have your attention, please? Right. Now, today, we will be transforming animals into water goblets. Like so. One, two, three, Vera Verto." a stream of magic emits from her wand, and the bird becomes a goblet.

"Now it's your turn. Who would like to go first? Ah! Mr. Weasley. One, two, three, Vera Verto."

"Ahem! Vera Verto." But his wand causes Scabbers to turn into a furry goblet with his tail moving around while squeaking Harry and some of the other students grin and laugh

"That wand needs replacing, Mr. Weasley." Hermione raises her hand

"Yes, Ms. Granger?"

"Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets."

"Very well. Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Now three of the founders coexisted quite harmoniously. One did not. Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. In other words, pure-bloods. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now, according to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Well, shortly before departing, he sealed it, until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The Heir alone would be able to open the Chamber, and unleash the horror within, and by so doing, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic." Heir of Slytherin i thought in worry

"Muggle-borns." Professor McGonagall points her wand at her in an affirmative gesture

"Well, naturally the school has been searched many times. No such Chamber has been found."

"Professor what exactly does legend tell us lies within the Chamber?" I asked concerned

"Well, the Chamber is said to be home to something that only the Heir of Slytherin can control. It is said to be the home of a monster." Hermonie and i look in worry after class walking with Harry and Ron

"Do you think it's true? Do you really think there is a Chamber of Secrets?"

"Yes. Couldn't you tell? McGonagall's worried. All the teachers are."

"But if there really is a Chamber of Secrets, and it really has been opened, then that means..."

"The Heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts. The question is, who is it?"

"Let's think... who do we know who thinks all Muggle-borns are scum?"

"If you're talking about Malfoy..."

"Of course! You heard him: "You'll be next, mudbloods."

"I heard him. But Malfoy, the Heir of Slytherin?"

"Well, maybe Ron's right, Hermione. I mean, look at his family, the whole lot of them have been in Slytherin for centuries."

"Your not wrong their unlike his family all mine have either been in Hufflepuff, others in Ravenclaw and most them Gryffindor but none in Slytherin." I said

"Crabbe and Goyle must know. Maybe we could trick them into telling."

"Even they aren't that thick. But there might be another way. Mind you, it would be difficult, not to mention, we'd be breaking fifty school rules, and it'll be dangerous, very dangerous." In the library near a window

"Here it is, the Polyjuice Potion. "Properly brewed, the Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker to transform himself temporarily into the physical form of another."

"You mean, if Harry and I drink that stuff, we'll turn into Crabbe and Goyle?"

"Yes." he and Harry exchange grins

"Wicked. Malfoy will tell us anything."

"Exactly, but it's tricky. We've never seen a more complicated potion.' i said reading it over Hermione shoulder

"Well, how long will it take to make?"

"A month."

"A month?! But, Hermione... if Malfoy is the Heir of Slytherin, he could attack half the Muggle-borns in the school by then!"

"I know, but it's the only plan we've got."
