-

A few weeks later there was chaos in the castle. More and more muggle-born students got paralyzed.

'We have to find out what's going on.' You sighed.

'Yeah, I still think you should read the diary.'

You looked at them in confusion and all three tried to avoid eye contact.

'You've been up to things without me, haven't you?!' You asked slightly offended.

'Yeah... but you were busy!'

'With what?!'

'Neville.'

Neville was one of your better friends now, not your best friend but you enjoyed his company.

'Well, at least tell me what you found out!'

'Okay... Malfoy isn't the Slytherin heir and I found a diary. Tom Riddle is the owner. I haven't read it.' Harry explained.

'How did you find out that Malfoy isn't the heir?' You asked.

'Poli juice potion.' Hermione explained.

'Went really well for Hermione.' Ron laughed. 'She changed into a cat.'

Hermione hit Ron and shot red of embarrassment.

'That's not funny Ronald.' She spoke. 'But Harry is going to read the diary tonight, aren't you Harry?' She asked.

'Do I have to?' He asked.

You all nodded.

'Okay... then I will.'

-

'Guys!'

You all looked up and saw Harry. Hermione got up for the couch.

'Have you read it?' She asked.

'I need to talk to you guys...'

'Great, we need to walk to flying class anyways.' You spoke.

You walked out of the common room.

'Okay, so the diary was completely empty. So I decided to write something. I wrote: hello my name is Harry Potter. When I was done my ink vanished and I got an answer!'

'What was it?' Ron asked.

'Hello Harry Potter, my name is Tom Riddle. Then I asked him if he knew anything about the chamber of secrets. He said yes and then I asked him if he could tell me but he said he couldn't. Then he said shortly after that, but I can show you. The pages flew back and I saw that Hagrid opened the chamber a few years ago. He let something loose in the castle. A spider or something!'

You walked outside and sighed. 

'But how do we know it true?' Ron asked.

'It's wasn't Hagrid! It can't be!" Hermione spoke in disbelieve.

'We don't even know this Tom Riddle. He sounds like a dirty rotting snitch to me.' Ron sighed.

'The monster had killed somebody Ron! What would any of us had done.' Harry responded.

Hermione stopped and looked at all of you.

'Look, Hagrid is our friend. Why don't we just go and ask him about it?' Hermione asked.

'Well that'll be a cheerful visit. Hello Hagrid, tell us have you been setting anything mad and hairy loose in the castle lately?'

'Mad and Hairy? Ye wouldn' be talkin' about me, would ye?' Hagrid asked. 

'No.' Ron and Harry said while turning around. 

Hagrid looked at them for a while.

'What's that you got Hagrid.' You spoke to save the boys.

'Oh, it's flesh eating slug Repellent. For the man drakes, ye know.' He spoke while holding up his green tin. 'Now according to professor Sprout, the still have a bit of growing up to do. But once their acne's cleared up we'll be able to chop them up and stew them and then we'll get those people down at the hospital unpetrified.' Hagrid spoke.

You all nodded understanding.

'In the meanwhile though... you three best be looking after yerselves, alright?'

'Of course Hagrid.' You smiled.

Hagrid turned around and walked away. Then Neville came running towards you.

'Hello Neville.' Hagrid smiled.

'Harry! I don't know who did it, but you better come. Come on!'

Neville turned around and ran away. Harry and Ron followed him. You grabbed Hermione sleeve and followed them as well. Neville lead you up to the boys dorm. You slowly walked in as you looked at the completely trashed room.

All Harry's books were laying on the floor, his bed wasn't even a bed anymore and all his suitcases were open and thrown around the room. 'It had to be a Gryffindor, nobody else knows the password.' Hermione said. 

Harry hurried towards his stuff and started looked through his stuff.

'Unless it wasn't a student.' You said.

'Whoever it was must have been looking for something.' Ron spoke in a bit of panic.

'And they found it.' Harry sighed. 'Tom Riddles diary is gone.'

-

The quidditch match just ended and you and Ron walked through the corridor.

'Hermione always come to quidditch... where could she be?'

'Library?' Ron asked.

You shrugged. McGonagall and Harry walked towards the two of you.

'You two, follow me.'

You followed McGonagall and she took you into the hospital wing. You had no idea why.

'I warn you, this could be a wee bit of a shock.' McGonagall spoke while walking towards a hospital bed.

You came to the bed and saw Hermione... patrified! She was laying there with one arm stretched out and her hand as if she was holding something. You started at her...

'Hermione...' Ron whispered. 

'That explains why she wasn't at the match...' you mumbled. 

'She was found near the library.' McGonagall looked at the small table and grabbed something. 'Along with this.

She showed you a mirror. A very small one... you didn't recognize it.

'Does it mean anything to you?'

Ron and Harry looked at you.

'No.' You said.

You looked at the shocked expression on Hermiones faces. Harry grabbed Hermione hand and sighed. 

-

You came back into the common room.

'I can't believe this...' you sighed. 

'Poor Hermione... gives us another reason to find what ever did this.' Harry sighed.

McGonagall followed you in.

'Could I have your attention please?' She asked. 

All the students looked at her.

'Because of recent events, these new rules will be put into effect immediatly: all student will return to their house common room by 6 every night. All students will be escorted to each lesson by a teacher. No exceptions.'

She rolled op the parchment.

'I should tell you this: unless the culprit behinds these attacks is caught... it's likely that the school will close.'

McGonagall walked away. You looked at Harry and Ron. Harry pulled you two a bit closer

'We've got to talk to Hagrid. I can't believe it's him. But if he did sat the monster loose last time he'll know how to get into the chamber of secrets. That's a start.'

'But you heard McGonagall, we're not allowed the leave the common room except for class!' Ron whispered. 

'I think it's time to get my dad's old cloak out again.'

That night you walked up to the boys dorm and you entered the room. Harry grabbed his cloak.

'Ready?' He asked.

You stood besides them and he covered all of you with cloak. You started walking as quietly as you could. When you reached Hagrids hut, you stopped in front of it and knocked on the door. 

'Who's there?' You heard.

It took a while for him to open the door... with a crossbow in his hands.

'Hello?' He asked. 

You pushed you cloak off all of you.

'What's that for?!' Harry asked.

'Nothin'... I was expectin'... it doesn't matter. Come on in, I just made tea.'

You all sat down and Hagrid grabbed a pot of tea. He started filing a cup.

'Hagrid... are you okay?' You asked.

'I'm fine, I'm alright.' He smiled. 

But something in you didn't believe him.

'Did you hear about Hermione?' Harry asked.

'Yeah... I heard about that alright.'

'Look, we have to asked you something.' Harry started.

Harry looked at you and Ron before continuing.

'Do you know who opened the chamber of secrets?' He asked.

'What you have to understand about that is-'

He was cut off by a knock on the door.  You looked at him I'm a bit of panic.

'Who is-'

'Sssst.' Hagrid interrupted you. 'Quickly, get under the cloak.'

You nervously looked for the cloak and Harry grabbed it. You walked towards him and Ron did the same. He cover you, Ron and himself. You all walked over to the fire place. 

'Don't say a word, be quiet all of you.'

Hagrid walked towards the door. You tried to breathe as quietly as possible. What did you get yourself into?! You couldn't have this right now!

Hagrid slowly opened the door.
