3rd Person's POV
"MWOH?! You're saying my daughter has been taking to the Chamber of Secrets?!" Jimmy snapped.
"Yes, my lord. McGongall told me to inform you." said the man.

Jimmy was in shock.
First, Belle gets petrified and now...Erika is in the Chamber of Secrets.

"Kris. You're in charge for now. I'm going to Hogwarts, I'll try to be back as soon as possible." Jimmy said.
"Yes, my lord." Kris said, bowing his head.

With that Jimmy apparated to Hogwarts. Hope he makes it time.

You can trust us, Hyung. EXO will protect the Lee Clan. Kris thought.

Harry's POV
"Lockhart maybe useless, but he's going to try get in the chamber. We can at least tell him what we now." I said.

We're going to Lockhart's Office.

"Professor! We have some information to tell you." I said.

We suddenly saw him packing his belongings.

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked.
"Well, yes. Urgent call. Unavoidable. Got to go." he said.
"What about our best friend?!" Ron asked.

"Well...umm....as for that most unfortunate." said Lockhart.

"You're the Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher. You can't go now." said Ron.
"I must say, when I took the job. There was nothing in the job description about--" I cut in.
"You're going away?! After all that stuff you did in your books?!"

"Book can be misleading." said Lockhart.
"You wrote them!" I exclaimed.
"Don't you use common sense. My books wouldn't sell half as well if people didn't think I did all those things." he said.

"You're a fraud! You've been taking credit for what other wizards have done." I said.
"Is there anything you can do?" Ron asked.
"Yes. Now, you've mentioned it. I'm rather gifted with memory charms otherwise all those wizards would have gone blabbering or I wouldn't sold another book." he says.

Then I realized that he's going to pull out his wand. Ron and I looked at each other and nodded.
"I fact, I'm going to do the same to you."

Ron and I pointed our wands at Lockhart.

"Don't even think about it." I said.

We walked into the girls bathroom and heard Myrtle.

"Oh, who's there?" she asked. Then she saw us.

"Oh, hello Harry. *giggles* What do you want?" she said.
"To ask you how you died." I asked.

"Oh. It was dreadful. It happened right here in this very cubicle. I did it, because everyone was teasing me about my glasses. I was crying and then...I heard someone come in." Myrtle said.
"Who was it?" I 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 locked myself in the cubicle and told him to go away and...I died."

"Just like that. How?" I said.
"I just remember seeing a pair of great big yellow eyes over there by that sink." she said.

I walked over to the sink and noticed something on it. It was a snake.

"This is it. This is it, Ron. I think this is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets." I said.
"Say something. Harry, say something in Parseltongue." said Ron.

I suddenly started to speak it, without knowing.

The Chamber began to open.

"Excellent Harry. Good work, well then. There's no need for me to stay." said Lockhart.
When suddenly, he bumped into....

"Jimmy." Lockhart uttered.
Mr. Lee smirked and pushed him.

"I knew you were coward." he said.
Lockhart gulped.

"Boys." Mr Lee gestured us, so we pulled out our wands and pointed at him.
"You first." I said.
"Now, What good will it do?" he asked.
"Better you than us." said Ron.

"Too scared to go down there, Gilderoy?" Mr. Lee smirked.
Lockhart gulped and turned.

He looked down as if he was afraid.

"Your sure one of you should go---" Ron pushed Lockhart into the Chamber.

"It's really quite filthy down here." said Lockhart.

"You boys go back. I'll get Erika." Mr Lee said.
"No, sir. We're going down there as well. We can't leave our friend behind." I said.

Mr. Lee sighed and nodded.
"You have courage, Mr. Potter. Just like your father."

I smiled at that.

"All right, Let's go." I said.
"Oh Harry. If you die down there, you're welcome to share my toilet." said Myrtle, giggling.

"Um...thanks Myrtle." I said.

That was awkward. I thought.

Ron and I jumped first and then Mr. Lee jumped behind us.

We landed in a bunch of fish bones.

"Yuck. It's disgusting down here." said Ron.
I gagged and put my wand away.

"Remember any sign of movement. Close your eyes straight away." I said.

Ron and I climbed into a tunnel and we kept on walking until we saw a snake skin.

"What's this?" Ron asked.
"It looks like a snake." said Lockhart.

"It's a snake skin." I said, looking at it.
"Bloody Hell. Whatever shed this must be 60 feet long." said Ron.

"Or more." said Mr. Lee.

Lockhart fainted.

"Heart of a lion on this one." said Ron.

Lockhart got up quickly and grabbed Ron's wand.
Mr. Lee pointed his wand at him.

"The adventure ends here boys and....Jimmy. But don't fret the world will know our story. How it was too late to save the girl. How you three tragically lost your minds at the sight of their mangled body." Lockhart said.

Mr. Lee glared at him.
"So, you first, Mr. Potter. Say good bye...to your memories." Lockhart said.

I gulped.

"Oliviate!"

The spell ended up hitting Lockhart instead. The ceiling start to crumble.
We got separated.

"Harry!'' Ron yelled.
"Ron! Mr. Lee! Are you two okay?" I asked.

"We're fine." Ron replied.

Then I heard Lockhart got up.

"Hello. Who are you?" he asked Ron.
"Um...Ron Weasley." Ron replied.
"Um...and....um..W-Who am I?" Lockhart asked.

Uh-oh

"Lockhart's memory charm backfired. He hasn't got a clue who he is." said Ron.
"It's a odd place to live here." said Lockhart.

He pick up a rock.

"Do you live here?'' he asked.
Ron took the rock. "No."
"Really?" asked Lockhart.


"Can you just shut up?!" Mr. Lee knocked him out.

"What do we do now?" Ron asked.
"You and Mr. Lee stay here and try to move some of these rock. so I can get back through. I'll go find Erika." I replied.

"Okay." said Ron.

"Potter!" Mr. Lee called me.
I stopped and turned to the little hole where I can see them. Just a little.

"Be careful and come back safely." he said.
I nodded and left.

I kept on walking until I saw the door and I spoke Parseltongue. The vault opened and walked in, with my wand in hand.
