It was finally Halloween. Hermione, Lav, Jazz and I were getting ready for the Halloween party after the feast. Once we finished messing with our hair, we put on our costumes then our robes over them.

Hermione and I said good-bye to Lav and Jazz before we reluctantly went to meet Harry and Ron. We walked down the stairs into the common room.

"Hey Harry."I said.

"Hello Ronald."Hermione said for us.

"So what exactly are we supposed to do at this death party?"
I asked.

"Death day."
Hermione said quickly.

"What?"

"It's a Death Day Party. You said death party which wasn't correct."
She explained.

Ron Harry and I rolled our eyes.

"Whatever Hermione. But my point still stands."

"I don't know. Nearly Headless Nick is trying to get into the Headless Hunters. I think they are coming to the party."
Harry said.

That makes more sence. We went to the room where the party was being held. Ghosts floating around. Many tables were set up with plate of rotten fish and other meat on it. The smell was terrible, but I wasn't the type to get squeamish.Ron and the others covered their noses in an attempt to block the smell. They soon have up and look around for Nearly Headless Nick.

"Oh hello Harry I am so glad you could make it."
Nick said happily.

"Well I did say I would come."
Harry replied.

"Hello Nicholas, lovely party. I am so sorry about the club. But you know how it is."
A headless ghost said not sounding the least bit sorry.

"Harry this is the head of the headless hunt."
Nick said.

"Hello, um... Nearly Headless Nick is... um... very frightening."
I sighed at Harry's attempt to change the ghost's mind.

Once the Headless ghost left Harry and I rejoined Hermione and Ron.

"I'm so hungry," Ron complained.

"Aren't we all." I replied sending an accusing look Harry's way.

"Who is that?" Harry asked, pointing to a droopy ghost.

"Thats Moaning Murtul." I replied. "Don't point! Don't point!"

I cried as Ron pointed at her for confirmation. Ron hastily put down his hand.

"Oh no she is coming over."
I said. Hermione groaned in annoyance.

"What is that so bad?"
Harry asked.

"She is very sensitive. She haunts the girls bathroom."
Hermione explained.

Murtal saw us pointing and came floating over, sniffling a bit.

"You know pointing is mean."
She wailed.

"We know, we are very sorry. We were only trying to tell Harry how... um... breathtaking you look."
Hermione tried.

"You know I can't breath!"
Murtal sobbed, then floated away.

"She haunts the girls bathroom?"
Ron asked is shock. "No wonder you girls always go in pairs."

I rolled my eyes.

"Look Harry, I get that I said I would come to the party and I have. But I am starving and the feast will end soon. Which means the party will start soon."
I explained.

Harry looked at use confused.

"So Hermione and I have to go-"

"There it is again!"
Harry shouted.

"What is here?"
Ron asked.
Harry started running out of the door and down the halls. We all ran after him.

"Harry! Mate wait up!"
Ron called as we ran.

Harry stopped abruptly, staring at the wall. Mr. Flinch's cat was strung up, paralyzed. I winced, think about how I would feel if that as Yet-To-Be-Named hanging there instead of happily playing inside the shack.

On the wall behind the cat was a sentence painted in blood; The chamber of secrets has opened. Enimies of the heir, beware.

Just then the cats owner ran up with Snape in tow.

"My cat! My cat!" He yelled angrily, then rounded on Harry.
"You did this! I saw you reading that letter!-" then as he turned towards Snape. "- he did this! He killed my cat!"

"Now hold on a minute!"
Ron yelled.

"He would never do something like this!" Hermione defended.

"The cat is not dead!"
I snapped. All heads turned my way.

"The girl is correct. Your cat is not dead, just paralyzed."
Dumbledore said as he approached us.

"But but- He did this."
Flinch yelled pointing frantically at us.

"No I didn't."
Harry protested.

"Then why are you out in the halls? Wouldn't you want to be at the feast with the other children?"
Snape asked.

"We were at Nearly Headless Nick 's death day party." Hermione replied.

"To my knowledge there isn't much food at a ghost party."
Snape asked accusingly.

"We were hungery so we wanted to go bak to the feast."
Ron shot back.

"Well actually, Hermione and I have a party to go to."
I said and gave a small wave.
Harry and Hermione shot me a not helping look.

"Oh let them go to their party Snape," Dumbledore told him.

We started walking down the halls. Once we had gotten out of I sight Hermione and I started taking off our robes.

"Geez what are you doing?"
Ron shouted as he and Harry averted their eyes.

"For goodness sakes Ronald! We have our costumes on under our robes."
Hermione scolded.

Hermione and I finished taking off our robes and slung them over our arms. As we started to walk down the halls agian, kids started to stream out of the Great Hall.

We heard gasps as people saw the message. Harry and Ron left to do who knows what, so we proceeded to make our way to the Common Room. We heard Malfoy yell at some poor first year from across the hall.

"Enimies of the heir beware. You will be next you filthy mudblood!"
Hermione looked about ready to murder him.

"He is not worth it."
I whispered in her ear as we passed him.

"Where are you going mud-"
Malfoy looked at Hermione and stopped talking abruptly.

"Are you gonna finish that sentence Malfoy?"
I asked

Malfoy opened his mouth and then shut it again.

"That's what I thought."

We turned around and continued on our way to the party.

Hey everyone, I know it has been awhile. I know I have run out of excuses. I don't know if I had already mentioned this, but I am considering ending this book early and having Kendra be petrified by the snake. I would love your input on the matter.

Forever and always,

Me.
