Harry asked Tom Riddle how Ginny got like
that. Then Tom started to tell. Harry listened full of anger. Ginny has been
writing in the diary for months and months, telling Tom all about her. She also
said everything about Harry, all his fascinating stories. Tom was kind and
patient and wrote back. But then, he was starting to feed her with a few of his
secrets, to start pouring a little of his soul back into her. He was
controlling Ginny when she did all this stuff, she opened the Chamber and set the serpent of Slytherin on four Mudbloods,
and a Squib’s cat. She didn’t know anything. Ginny was very afraid, she told Tom
that she didn’t know what was going on and she wasn’t herself anymore. There are
some moments she couldn’t remember what she was doing. Tom found it really
funny. Then she suspected me and tried to dispose of the diary. And that’s the
moment that Harry found it. But then, Ginny has stolen it from Harry because
what if Tom will tell Harry all her secrets? But Tom knew Harry would go any
lengths to solve the mystery. So Tom took Ginny with him. He knew Harry’d come.
How did Harry escape with nothing but a scar, while Lord Voldemort ’s powers
were destroyed? Then Tom was saying ‘I care about this because I AM LORD
VOLDEMORT. Didn’t you see it, Tom Marvolo Riddle and Lord Voldemort are the
same, only the place of the letters is different. I am the greatest sorcerer in
the world!’ Then Harry said after a silence’ you’re not’, his voice full of
hatred ‘ The greatest sorcerer in the world is professor Dumbledore!’ Suddenly
Fawkes, the phoenix, appeared and he had
the sorting had in his beck. Tom laughed and he wanted to know how Harry
survived everything. Harry said that his Muggle-born mother stopped him from
killing Harry. Tom smiled an awful smile and said that there was nothing
special on Harry, that it was merely a lucky chance that saved Harry from Tom. He
said also ‘ Let’s match the powers of Lord Voldemort, against famous Harry
Potter and the best weapons Dumbledore can gave him’ Then he turned to the high
statue and said’ speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts four’ Harry
started to run. He knew what was coming out of it. The Basilisk of course! He heard
it but then he heard Fawkes screaming. There was a loud, explosive sitting
sound right above him. Harry opened his eyes and saw the enormous serpent, but
the serpent didn’t see him, Fawkes made him blind! Harry kept running because
Tom was giving the Basilisk instructions where Harry was. Suddenly, Harry felt
something, it was the sorting hat. The Basilisk had swept it into Harry’s arms.
This was Harry’s only chance. So he did the hat on his head and asked for help.
Suddenly he felt something, it was a sword! So he killed the serpent when it
was lunging at him. But then , Harry felt. He was acting really weird. Then he
saw it, the serpent has bitten him. One long fang was sinking deeper and deeper
into his arm. He gripped the fang and wrenched it out of his arm. Then Fawkes
came and began to cry on Harry’s wound. And…
the wound was healing! Phoenix tears have healing powers. Then Tom
wanted to fight and took his wand when suddenly, Fawkes threw the diary to
Harry. Harry knew what to do, he seized the Basilisk fang and plunged it
straight into the heart of the diary. Tom started to scream and then, he was
gone! Ginny woke up and started to cry. They ran out of the Chamber of Secrets
and saw Lockhart and Ron. Ron was so happy to see them, alive. There was also
something very funny. Lockhart lost all his memories. He didn’t even know who
he was! Brilliant, an excellent punishment! Everyone in the school is now very
happy. The school is saved! Harry and Ron both received Special Awards for
Services to the school and 200 points apiece for Gryffindor! Isn’t that great ?
Everyone is Harry and Ron really thankful. But then, Lucius Malfoy came to professor
Dumbledore and was very angry. Professor Dumbledore told him everything. Lucius
didn’t look happy after the story. But next to Malfoy stood… Dobby! So Lucius
was his master. And now, we knew it! Malfoy had gave the diary to Ginny! He said
we couldn’t prove it and went away. Harry said that he forgot something and
threw the diary at him but round the diary, Harry did a sock. Lucius threw the
sock away and Dobby caught it. And when a house-elf received a clothing item
from his master… he’s free so Dobby is free! Dobby was really thankful. After all
this stuff about the Chamber of Secrets, the summer arrived. We had to go to
home. Everyone was really sad. I will miss them! See you next year!

The Chamber of Secrets
Harry and Ron went to Lockhart but he was
packing his stuffs. He wanted to leave! Can you believe that? He was saying that
he never did the adventures he said in his books. He wanted to do a memory
charm on the boys so they wouldn’t remember anything of what Lockhart said. Otherwise
it was bad for Lockhart’s reputation. But then, Harry and Ron pointed their
wand to Lockhart and command him to go to Moaning Myrtles bathroom. They asked
Myrtle how she died. She said that someone was teasing her about her glasses. Then
she ran into the bathroom and cried in a cubicle. Suddenly she heard something.
She came out the cubicle and looked at the sink where she heard the noise, but
then… she died. So Harry and Ron looked at the sink. They examined every inch
of it. Suddenly Harry saw a tiny snake on the sink. He said in Parseltongue ‘open
up’ and next second, the sink began to move. The sink, in fact, sank, right out
of sight, leaving a large pipe exposed, a pipe wide enough for a man to slide
into. Lockhart had to go first, then Harry and Ron followed. It was like
rushing down an endless ,slimy, dark side. They could see more pipes branching
off in all directions. Then they landed. It was very dark inside. The floor was
littered with small animal bones. They saw also a really large snakeskin. Then,
suddenly, Lockhart knees had given away. He got to his feet again and then, he
dived at Ron, knocking him to the ground. He took his wand and said ‘ the
adventure ends here, boys, I shall take a bit of this snakeskin back up to the
school, tell them I was too late to save the girl, and that you two tragically
lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body.’ Then he pointed the wand at
Harry and Ron, but the wand exploded. Harry ran, slipping over the coils of snakeskin,
out of the way of great chunks of tunnel ceiling which were thundering to the
floor. Next moment, he was standing alone, gazing at a solid wall of broken
rock. Harry and Ron were separated! Harry had to go alone. He followed the
tunnel and suddenly, he saw a solid wall ahead on which 2 entwined serpents
were carved, their eyes set with great emeralds. Harry said open in Parseltongue.
The serpents parted as the wall cracked open, the halves slid smoothly out of
sight, and Harry walked inside. He was standing at the end of a very long,
dimly lit chamber. Towering stone pillars entwined with more carved serpents
rose to support a ceiling lost in darkness. He pulled out his wand and moved
forward between the serpentine columns. Then a statue high as the chamber
itself loomed into view, standing against a back wall. Suddenly, he saw Ginny. She
lay there, motionless. Harry shouted that she had to wake up. Suddenly someone
was saying that she won’t wake up. It was Tom Riddle. He was a memory from his
past, preserved in a diary for 50 years. Harry said to him that he had to help
him, that it wasn’t save in there, and that they had to go out of there. He told
him about the Basilisk. Tom was laughing. Harry wanted to take his wand but it
was gone, Tom had it!

The sleeping beauty woke up
When I woke up, Harry and Ron told me
everything: the Quidditch match was cancelled because there was another attack…
and I was the victim. They weren’t allowed to go out of their dormitory unless
they had classes so they took Harry’s invisibility cloak and went to Hagrid. When
they arrived at Hagrid, they had to hide themselves because professor
Dumbledore came in with Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic. He had to take
Hagrid to Azkaban, the best prison for magic people, until his innocence was
proven. Then came Lucius Malfoy in. He was saying that he searched professor
Dumbledore. Then he saw professor Dumbledore. He said to him that the governors
wanted his removal. That it was an order of suspension. That Dumbledore will
find all the 12 signatures on a large role of parchment. They were feeling that
Dumbledore was losing his touch. So… Dumbledore stepped aside and followed
Lucius. He only said: ‘ Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask
for it.’ It looked like professor Dumbledore’s eyes flickered towards the
corner where Harry and Ron stood hidden. Hagrid left too but he was saying : ‘
if anyone wanted to find out some stuff all they have to do would be to follow
the spiders.’ So that was their plan, following the spiders. When they had
herbology at the end of the week, they saw the spiders. They were running into
the Forbidden Forest. So Harry and Ron went to the Forbidden Forest. It was
really dark and they couldn’t see very much were the spiders were running to. Suddenly
they were caught by… spiders! They took them to a giant spider, Aragog. He was
saying : years and years ago, they believed that I was the monster of
Slytherin. They thought that Hagrid had opened the Chamber and set me free. That’s
why Hagrid is been expelled. But they were wrong . A traveler gave me to
Hagrid. Hagrid cared for me, hidden in a cupboard in the castle.’ After his story,
he said that his sons and daughters could kill them! They do not herm Hagrid
but fresh meet that wanders so willingly into their midst is really good for
them. They wanted to eat Harry and Ron! But when the spiders wanted to start,
the flying car arrived and took Harry and Ron out of the forest. When Harry and
Ron stepped out of the car, the car disappeared again into the forest. They were
the car of course really thankful. The only thing they know now after their visit
by Aragog is that Hagrid never opened the Chamber, he was innocent. They went
back to their dormitories and wanted to sleep, but suddenly Harry knew it! Aragog
said that the girl who died was found in a bathroom, but what it it’s Moaning
Myrtle? So they wanted to go to the bathroom, but suddenly professor McGonagall
appeared. Harry and Ron lied of course and were saying that they wanted to
visit me. Professor McGonagall believed them and walked away. They went to the
hospital where I was laying because otherwise professor Mc Gonagall would know that they didn’t visit me. Fortunately,
Harry noticed the paper in my hand! We didn’t died because there was always a
reflection of the monster, we saw never the monster directly. They wanted to
talk about everything what they knew now with professor McGonagall when
suddenly, they heard her voice through the micro. Everyone had to go to their
rooms. But Harry and Ron were hiding themselves in the wardrobe next to the
staff-room. They heard from the teachers that there was another note on the
wall: ‘ her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever.’ Everyone hates Lockhart with his boasting, so
Lockhart had to go to the Chamber of Secrets and had to kill the monster
because he said he already knew where the Chamber was. The teachers were also
saying something else… it was Ginny, Ron’s first-year sister who had a crush on
Harry, who was lying in the Chamber…

The Monster of Slytherin
The next day, Harry told us something very
important. He said that all his books were covered into ink except the diary. So
that evening, in his bed, he was trying to write anything in the diary. His words
disappeared and there appeared another written line, except it wasn’t from
Harry. Harry could talk with the diary, with Tom Riddle! He knew something about
the Chamber of Secrets and wanted to show it to Harry. Harry said that suddenly
the book had turned into a minuscule television screen. And suddenly, he was
falling in it. Then, he saw Tom Riddle. He was in the office from professor
Dippet , the professor before professor Dumbledore. He was asking if he could
stay here in the holidays. He lived also in a Muggle orphanage, like Harry. And
he hated it there too. But he couldn’t stay in Hogwarts because it wasn’t save
with the attacks of the Chamber of Secrets. Then he asked if he found the one
who opened the Chamber of Secrets , he could stay in Hogwarts? After that,
Professor Dippet asked if he wanted to tell him something. Tom said no and he
walked away. Harry followed him. Tom was waiting in a corridor. Suddenly Harry
saw Hagrid in a room. He was talking to someone, to a monster. Harry couldn’t
see the monster but Riddle said that Hagrid is been caught, that it’s all over.
And then Harry came back to the world, to his bed. It’s really weird, isn’t
it?! So it’s Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets and that’s why he is been
expelled. We understand of course that Tom only betrayed Hagrid because he didn’t
want to spend his holiday with the muggles. But we know all that Hagrid didn’t
want to kill anyone. He just wanted to take care for the monster. But the
monster killed a girl! Should we go and ask Hagrid all about it? We decided we
wouldn’t say anything to Hagrid unless there was another attack. Another day,
Harry wanted to go to his dormitory when suddenly he saw that his room was a
mess. The contents of Harry’s trunk had been thrown everywhere. And… the diary
has gone, someone must have stolen it but… only a Gryffindor knows our
password. Then the Quidditch match arrived between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. When
we were going to our dormitory to get Harry’s Quidditch things, Harry heard the
voice! It wanted to kill again. And suddenly, I knew it. Harry is the only
person in the whole school who heard a voice that nobody else can hear. If there
is an attack, we saw only spiders running away. Didn’t you get it? The monster
is a basilisk, the king of Serpents. I read about it. Its methods of killing
are most wondrous, for aside from its deadly and venomous fangs, the Basilisk
has a murderous stare, and all who are fixed with the beam of its eye shall
suffer instant death. He is moving in the pipes from the school. I went immediately
to the library to be sure. I didn’t say anything to Harry and Ron because what
if it wasn’t true and I was wrong. That I read something else? Oh no I want
always to be right! Afterwards very stupid that I didn’t say anything… At the
library, there was another girl, the Prefect from Ravenclaw. I smiled at her
and then, I went searching for it. I found it and I had it right! All spiders
are afraid for it. I ripped the page out of the book in case Harry and Ron didn’t
believe me. Suddenly I heard something, I heard the pipes. Oh no, it couldn’t
be the Basilisk, could it? I didn’t dare to look because if it was the
Basilisk, I could die. So I said to the girl that she hadn’t to look behind
her. I said that I thought that it was the Monster of Slytherin. She was very afraid.
I asked for a mirror so we can look if I was right. Fortunately she had a
mirror so we looked in the mirror and then… I felt. The last thing I saw were
green eyes…

The diary
For several weeks , I laid in the hospital.
Under my pillow was a Get Well card from Lockhart. I love him! I left the
hospital wing in February, finally. Harry and Ron were pleased to see me and
said that they went to Myrtles place because there was a lot of water on the
floor and the water came from Moaning Myrtles bathroom. They asked Myrtle if
she didn’t see anything that could heve provoke the water. She said that someone
had thrown a book to her, she couldn’t tell who it was, she didn’t know. Harry kept
it. It’s the diary of T.M.Riddle. Ron had seen his name before, on a trophy
when he had detention. He won the trophy for special services. The trophy was
50 years old. That’s odd, that’s also the moment when the chamber of secrets has
been opened. Malfoy said that to Harry and Ron when they were in disguise. Then
valentine’s day came. Nobody was in the mood because everyone was very scared about
the Chamber of Secrets and the attacks, except Lockhart. He thought that it was
over, that the attacks were gone. He took care for the card-carrying cupids. They
would be around the school delivering your valentines. I found it a great idea
but everyone else found it very stupid. A cupid wanted to give a musical message
to Harry. But Harry didn’t want it and wanted to run, but the cupid didn’t let
him go so Harry was trying to escape. But then all his books, his wand,
parchment and quill were falling onto the floor and his ink bottle smashed over
the lot. Then Malfoy appeared and took the book. He was bullying Harry and said
that he had Harry’s diary. Malfoy didn’t want to give it back so Harry tried a
spell on him and the diary felt into Ron’s hands. This has lost Harry 50 points
for Gryffindor, unfortunately…

The polyjuice potion
The next day, Ron and I were making the
polyjuice potion. Harry wanted to see Justin and tell him that he has been
saying to the snake that he mustn’t kill Justin. Instead he heard people
talking about him and avoiding him. He was so furious about everything he heard
that he didn’t know where he was going. Suddenly, he saw Hagrid. He had a
little talk and then, he walked to his next lesson. But then, he saw something.
It was laying on the floor. It was Justin!! He was petrified! And above him was
Nearly Headless Nick, also petrified. Oh no , this wasn’t good! He could run
but he couldn’t just leave them lying there. Suddenly Peeves appeared. He shouted
‘ ATTACK, ATTACK !’ Suddenly Harry saw all students coming from everywhere. The
crowd saw Harry and then Justin and Nearly Headless Nick. They were shocked.
Professor McGonagall came out of the crowd and said that Harry had to follow
her. They went to Dumbledore’s office. It was very cool, Harry said. There was
also a phoenix Fawkes in the room. But Harry had seen him on his burning day. Phoenixes
burst into flames when it is time for them to die and are reborn from the
ashes. Then Dumbledore appeared. Dumbledore would say something but before
Dumbledore could speak, the door of the office flew open with an almighty bang
and Hagrid came in , shouting ‘ It wasn’t Harry!’ But Dumbledore said that he
knew it wasn’t Harry and Hagrid went away. Dumbledore was asking if Harry would
like to tell him anything. But Harry didn’t say anything. He left the office and told us everything. We were
still making the polyjuice potion. After a few days, the polyjuice potion was
ready! We had only to add some hair of Goyle, Grabbe and Millicent. Goyle and
Grabbe are Malfoy’s best friends and Millicent is just a friend. I had my hair
already because we were wrestling at the dueling club and some of her hair came
on my dress. Now, we only need to take Grabe and Goyle’s hair but how? I had a
plan! We made a chocolate cake for them filled with something that let you
sleep. So we let the cakes at the end of the banisters and of course Grabbe and
Goyle ate it because they love food and eat everything. They felt asleep and we
took the hairs. We did the hairs in the potion and drank it in a cubicle of
Moaning Myrtles bathroom. Then I felt really weird and started to deform. But this
wasn’t good. I had suddenly … a tail and a cat-face! Oh no, it was some of Millicent cats hairs
that I threw in the potion. And the potion is only for disguise into other PEOPLE?
Not animals! What could I do? I said to Ron and Harry that they could go without
me. They waited a minute and then, I heard they were going away. I started to
cry. I didn’t know how long I was crying but it must have been really long
because suddenly I heard Harry and Ron again. I doubted and came out the
cubicle, finally. They were shocked and I told them it was a hair of Millicent’s
cat. They said it will be alright and that I should go to the hospital. I wasn’t
sure of that but I hope it will be alright! We went to the hospital. Harry and
Ron were saying it wasn’t Malfoy. They were sure. But who is it then?

The dueling club
Today, the potion is only half-finished. We
need two more ingredients, and the only place they were going to get them was
from Snape’s private stores. What we needed is a diversion to get in there. Then
one of us can sneak into Snape’s office and take what we need. I better do the
actual stealing because I’ve got a clean record. Then we had Potions lessons
with Snape. I gave Harry a sign that he could pull one of Fud’s Filibuster
fireworks out of his pocket and gave it a quick prod with his wand. The
firework began to fizz and sputter. Harry straightened up, took aim, and lobbed
it into the air. It landed tight on target in Goyle’s cauldron.it worked. Everyone
was distracted so I took the ingredients and sat down. Nobody had noticed it. But
Snape was looking mad at Harry. He knows it, but he couldn’t prove anything so
he let it go. A week later stood on the notice board that we started a dueling club.
Everyone was free to enter it. But almost everyone thought that it would be
interesting on one of those days. So that evening we went to the Great Hall for
starting. There were a lot of people and Lockhart and Snape were the teachers
for learning it to us. They were demonstrating and Snape attacked Lockhart and
Lockhart felt. But of course it was a demonstration to let us see what this
spell can do. Then we were set up with a partner. Mine was Millicent Bulstrode,
a Slytherin. Poor Harry he had to work with Malfoy! But everything end up in a
fight, so Lockhart had a new idea, we had first to learn how to block
unfriendly spells. The volunteer pair who had demonstrated it was Malfoy and
Harry. They began. Malfoy threw a snake before Harry. That was really
dangerous! The snake slithered straight towards Justin and raised itself again,
fangs exposed, poised to strike. But then Harry… He said something we couldn’t hear.
He had a parselmouth! He can talk to snakes! The snake took off and Snape
killed it. Everyone was looking at Harry, very scared. Oh no, this isn’t good. We
had to go out of there. We went to Gryffindor common room. Harry didn’t know
what was happening. He didn’t know he was speaking parseltongue, Snake’s
language. He said he was saying to the snake that he had to stop. Poor Harry.
we explained him everything. It’s really bad because being able to talk to snakes
was what Salazar Slytherin was famous for. That’s why the symbol of Slytherin
House is a serpent. Now everyone thought he was the heir of Slytherin! And…it
could be true, it could be possible because he lived about a thousand years
ago. For all we know, he could be. Everyone thinks that he’s the one who is the
cause of the attacks. Because he had detention from Filch and that’s why he
could attacked his cat. And he found it perhaps
annoying that Colin was making pictures of him and that’s why he could attacked
him. This isn’t good, poor Harry!

Worst Quidditch match
Today, it was a Quidditch match between
Gryffindor and Slytherin and probably Harry’s worst match ever! The bludger
kept following Harry and kept following Harry and kept trying to hit him. He wanted
to murdering Harry! Then Harry saw Malfoy and he saw the Golden Snitch who was
hovering inches above Malfoy’s left ear. Malfoy hadn’t seen it. Harry hung in
mid-air and tried to catch it but WHAM! The bludger had hit him and Harry felt
his arm break. Through a haze of rain and pain, he dived for Malfoy. Malfoy
thought he was attacking him. Harry took his remaining hand off his broom and
made a wild snatch. He was now only gripping the broom with his legs and rolled
off his broom. We all were very shocked but then Harry showed the Snitch! We won!
Then Lockhart appeared and would help Harry with his broken arm but Lockhart had
removed Harry’s bones instead of mended them! So now Harry had to stay in the
hospital for growing his bones back. The next days, Ron and I were making the
polyjuice potion when one day suddenly Harry came in. He was healed! Harry told
us that Collin is been attacked and petrified but we already know that. We heard
Professor McGonagall telling Professor Flitwick this morning. Collin is a
first-year and also in Gryffindor. He loves Harry and knows all about him. He takes
pictures of Harry as much as he could. He is a Muggle-born. Poor Collin! But Harry
said something else… Dobby had visit him last night. He was warning him again. He
was saying that the Chamber has been opened before. And it was Dobby who
stopped the barrier letting Ron and Harry through to go to Platform Nine and
Ten Quarters, it was he who made that budger try and kill Harry. He wanted that
Harry was injured and couldn’t stay at Hogwarts. Stupid Dobby, Harry could have
died! We were thinking about the Chamber of Secrets. It has opened before… Of
course, Lucius Malfoy must have opened the Chamber when he was at school and
now, he told dear old Draco how to do it! I think the monster of Slytherin is
invisible or can disguise itself. I don’t know it but I want to! I have to know
it!
The explaining
After the attack, I read a lot of books,
more than usual. I wanted to know more about the Chamber of Secrets. But I didn’t
find anything. All the copies of ‘Hogwarts: a History’ have been taken out. So I
asked Professor Bins if he could tell us anything about the Chamber. He said
there is a legend about the Chamber of Secrets and started to talk : Hogwarts was
founded over 1000 years ago by the 4 greatest witches and wizards of the age. The
4 school houses are named after them : Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff,
Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. They built this castle together. For a
few years, the founders worked in harmony together. But then disagreements
sprang up between them. A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others.
Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted in Hogwarts. He
believed that mafical learning should be kept within all-magic families. There was
a serious argument on the subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and
Slytherin left school. But Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in the castle,
of which the other founders knew nothing. Slytherin sealed the Chamber of
Secrets so that none would be able to open until his own true heir arrived at
the school. The heir alone would be able to unseal the Chamber, unleash the horror
within it ( that is some sort of monster) and use it to purge the school of all
who were unworthy to study magic. But the teacher said it’s nonsense and that
the Chamber didn’t exist. But of course no one believed him after the attack on
Mrs Norris and the writing on the wall… We wanted to know more so we went to
the place of the attack and saw only little spiders ran away threw a broken
window. There was also a little bit water on the floor so we searched where it
came from. It came from Moaning Myrtles bathroom. We asked Myrtle if she didn’t
see anything. But Myrtle didn’t see anything because she was upset about
something what Peeves said. Then Ron, Harry and I were thinking who could be the heir of Slytherin. And
of course we knew it immediately, who hates Muggle-borns ?! Malfoy of course! But
how do we find out if it was him ? And suddenly I knew it! We need to get
inside the Slytherin common room and ask Malfoy a few questions without him realizing
it’s us. We need a polyjuice potion. It transforms you into someone else. The recipe
is in a book called ‘Moste Potente Potions’ and that’s in the Restricted
Section on the library… The next day we had classes from Lockhart and after the
lesson I asked Lockhart if he would sign a note so we had permission to go to
the Restricted Section. I said that it was for one of his books, that I would know
anything more about slow-acting venoms. Fortunately, he wasn’t reading the note
because then he had seen that we asked for the book we wanted. We went immediately
to the library and searched for the book. We found it and opened it in Moaning Myrtle’s
place. The ingredients of the polyjuice potion were quite difficult. I’d say it’d
be ready in about a month, if we can get all the ingredients…

The Deathday Party
Today, Harry went to Filch offices because
Filch saw him in the deserted corridor. Harry
was there talking with Nearly Headless Nick, a ghost. He was talking about that
Nick wanted to join the Headless Hunt but he couldn’t because they can only
accept huntsmen who heads have parted company with their bodies. When Harry sat
down with Filch, Peeves, the poltergeist, came in and distracted Filch. So Filch
ran away after Peeves. Harry saw on Filch’s bureau that Filch had a Kwick
spell. It was something for learning magic. Then Filch came back and said to
Harry he could go. Outside the office stood Nick and he was asking if it
worked. So it was his idea that Peeves distracted Filch, great idea! Harry asked
if he couldn’t do anything to Nick because cause of Nick he hadn’t detention. Nick
said there was something… On Halloween it’s his 500 deathday and he invited me, Harry
and Ron. Harry said that it was good. By the time Halloween arrived, Harry was
regretting his rash promise to go to the deathday party. The rest of the students
were happily anticipating their Halloween feast. But why is he regretting it? There
aren’t many lived people who can say they have been to a deathday party , it
will be fascinating! And… a promise is a promise! So we went to the deathday
party. It was in the dungeon. It was a really weird party. There were only
ghosts and there was nothing to eat except rotten things. The smell of it was
quite disgusting! Then we saw Moaning Myrtle. She haunts the girls’ toilet on the
first floor. It’s been out of order all year because she keeps having tantrums
and flooding the place. But then, Peeves appeared. He was laughing and shouted
Myrtle. He was saying that we were talking about her. Stupid Peeves! Myrtle
started to cry, of course…like always. Suddenly Sir Patrick arrived. He’s
leader of the Headless Hunt. He was very annoying and when Nick wanted to do
his daethday speech, Sir Patrick started a game of Head Hockey and everyone was
of course looking at him instead of looking at Nick. We wanted to go when
suddenly Harry heard something… It was the voice! He wanted to kill! Harry was
following the voice so we followed him because we couldn’t hear the voice. Suddenly
we stopped. On a wall was written in blood ‘ the chamber of secrets has been
opened. Enemies of the heir, beware.’ Then we looked to something else what was
hanging on the wall. We gasped. Mrs Norris, Filch’s cat, was hanging by her
tail from the torch bracket. She was stiff as a board, her eyes wide and
staring. Ron said ‘ Let’s get out of here, we don’t want to be found here.’ But
it was too late. We heard people and the next moment, students were coming into
the passage from both ends. Then they saw the cat and stopped. We stood alone,
in the middle of the corridor, as silence felt among the mass of students, pressing
forward to see the grisly sight. Then filch appeared. When he saw his cat, he
was really furious! He wanted to kill Harry but then came Dumbledore and the
other teachers. He said that Filch had to relax. Everyone had to go to their
rooms, except we of course… Dumbledore said that the cat wasn’t dead, that he
was petrified. Then Dumbledore looked at us and Snape and Filch were saying
that it was Harry! Dumbledore said very calm that no second-year could have
done this. But Filch didn’t believed him, he was saying that Harry knows that
he’s a squib and that’s the reason why he had done this. A squib is someone who
was born into a wizarding family but hasn’t got any magic powers. So that’s why
he had a Kwick spell in his office, he wanted to learn magic. Snape was asking
us a few questions. Why we weren’t at Halloween and what we did in the corridor
on that moment. We didn’t say anything of the voice of course because hearing voices
no one else can hear isn’t a good sign , even in the wizarding world. So we
said we were tired and wanted to sleep. Snape didn’t believe him. Then Dumbledore
said ‘ innoncent until proven guilty’ and let us go. I couldn’t sleep. What does
this all mean and what’s the Chamber of Secrets ?

Mudblood
Today, we wanted to visit Hagrid in the
morning, but unfortunately Harry was shaken awake several hours earlier than he
would have liked by Oliver Wood, captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He wanted
to practice. He had a whole new training program, which he really thinks will
make all the difference… But suddenly the Slytherins appeared and they wanted
also to practice and guess who’s new in their team? Malfoy, yes, Draco Malfoy! His
father had bought his team the Nimbus Two Thousand and One, the best broomstick
ever! Malfoy laughed with our brooms so I said’ At least no one on the
Gryffindor team had to buy their way in, they got in on pure talent.’ Now was
Malfoy very mad and he called me mudblood. I didn’t know what it was but it
must have been something very mad because everyone in the Gryffindor team was
suddenly very mad, especially Ron because he said a spell to Malfoy because he
was so mad. But because Ron’s wand is broken, there came a green light shot out
of the wrong end of Ron’s wand hitting him in the stomach. Ron was looking very
sick and gave an almighty belch. Several slugs dribbled out of his mouth onto
his lap! We didn’t know what to do so we went to Hagrid. We saw that Lockhart
came out of Hagrid’s hut. He was giving him advice on getting kelpies out of a
well. How gentle of him! But Hagrid didn’t seem to like him either. Hagrid said
that there is nothing to do about Ron’s slugs problem, he just have to wait. Then
I asked what a mudblood was, Harry also didn’t know what it was. Ron said that
Mudblood is a really foul name for someone who was Muggle-born, so with
non-magic parents. There are some wizards who think they’re better than
everyone else because they’re what people call pure-blood. Mudblood is dirty
blood, it is common blood. I was hurt. So that is a mudblood, it’s very rude! I
hate Malfoy! Then we were going to the Entrance Hall when we saw professor
McGonagall. She was saying that Harry and Ron mustn’t forgot their detention
cause of the flying car. Harry had to help Professor Lockhart with answering
fan mails and Ron had to polishing the silver in the trophy room with Mr Filch.
It was their own fault! The next day, Harry and Ron told me everything. It was
horrible they said. Harry said that Lockhart is very jealous that Harry could become
more famous as Lockhart. But Harry is already more famous than him… Harry told
also something else, something very weird. He had heard a voice, a weird voice
when he was signing the fan mails. And Lockhart didn’t hear the voice. The voice
was saying ‘ come to me, let me rip you, let me tear you, let me kill you.’ Isn’t
that weird ?!
The first lessons
Today was my first day of school. I sat in
the Great Hall and I was searching everywhere but I couldn’t find Harry and
Ron. Then I heard people saying that Harry and Ron couldn’t get to Platform
Nine and Ten Quarters so they flew with Ron his dad’s flying car! How stupid
could they have been ?! Muggles have seen them of course because the car couldn’t
be invisible. The invisibility button was defected. When they were landing,
they stuck into a tree but the tree became alive and smacked Harry and Ron with
his branches. Then the car felt out of the tree, kicked their luggage out of it
and drove away. Ron's wand was broken. I was very mad at them, but the other kids found it actually
very funny and cool. Pff, they didn’t know anything better! Harry and Ron could been expelled! The next day we had
our first lesson. It was Herbology in the green house. We had to re-potting Mandrakes
today. Mandrake is a powerful restorative. It’s used to return people who have
been transfigured or cursed, to their original state.The cry of a Mandrake is
fatal to anyone who hears it. So we had to keep of course our earmuffs on. After
this lesson, we had lesson from Gilderoy Lockhart. Oh I love him! He is so
great! All his adventures in his books… amazing! Today,he let pixies away in
the classroom. Pixies are very mean and provokes tumult. Two of them seized
Neville by the ears and lifted him into the air! The teacher tried a spell but
it didn’t work. Then the bell rang and Lockhart said to me, Harry and Ron that
we have to stop the pixies. It’s a very good exercise. But Ron and Harry didn’t
believe it. They said that it’s a horrible teacher and they didn’t believe that
Lockhart had done the adventures in his book for real. How could they say that?
It’s nonsense, Lockhart is a great teacher, he is probably the best teacher
ever!

The reunion
I saw Harry and Ron back after almost 2
months! I was so happy! It was wonderful to see them again. Ron picked up
Harry with his flying car because Harry has a very bad uncle, aunt and nephew. They
were afraid of magic so they ignored Harry. But when there was visit, they
locked Harry in his room and said that he had to be quiet, he had to act if
there was no Harry, if he didn’t exist. But that didn’t exactly went how Mr
Dursley would. Harry saw in his room suddenly a house-elf, Dobby, sitting on
his bed. He was saying that Harry hadn’t to go back to Hogwarts, that Hogwarts
wasn’t save, that there was a plot… But Dobby made a lot of noise and when
Harry said that he had to go to Hogwarts, Dobby took a cake and dropped it in
the living room where everyone was sitting! The Dursley’s were very angry and
they locked Harry in his room, but Ron saved Harry with his flying car. Dobby
had also hidden Harry’s letters from all of us so Harry wouldn’t go back to
Hogwarts. Now, I understand why Harry wasn’t writing, his owl couldn’t fly
because the Dursley’s wouldn’t let him and because he didn't receive our letters. Harry
and Ron travelled by Floo powder. The way of using is that you have to take a
pinch of powder of the flowerpot, step up to the fire and throw the powder into
flames. Then you have to scream where you want to go very clearly and then, you
will vanish. In this case they shouted ‘Diagon Alley.' That’s a place with only magic
shops and there aren’t non-magic people.
But Harry said it unclearly because he coughed with all the soot and he came in
a magic shop ‘Borgin and Burkes’ in Knockturn Alley. He saw Malfoy in there
with his father, Lucius Malfoy. Lucius was selling something Harry couldn’t see.
When they were gone, Harry ran out of the shop and saw Hagrid who was looking
for a Flesh-Eating Slug Reppelent. He took
Harry to the Diagon Alley. We all sat together for something to drink except
Hagrid, he went away. My parents were talking with Mister Weasley. He loves
Muggles because his work is bewitching things that are Mugglemade, in case they
end up back in a Muggle shop or house. After an hour of talking about Muggle
stuff, we went to Flourish and Blotts where the famous Gilderoy Lockhart was
signing his books. When he saw Harry he was very pleased and gave him one of
his amazing books of all his adventures he has done. A photograph took a
picture and it comes in the Daily Prophet, a magic newspaper where the pictures
are alive. Malfoy’s father was also in the shop. He was challenging Mister
Weasley by saying all rude stuff. It end up in a fight. Then Hagrid appeared
and helped. He pulled Mr Weasly and Mr Malfoy apart. Hagrid was saying to Mr
Weasley he should have ignored him. Then we left the shop and went to home.

What happened ?
Dumbledore told us everything. He said that
Harry saw in the next room… Quirrel, yes, Professor Quirrel! He had two faces, under
Quirrel’s turban was Voldemort! He was too weak to have a body on his own. When
Quirrel failed to steal the Stone from Gringotts, he was most disappointed so
he punished him. He decided he would keep a closer watch on Quirrel. They wanted the Stone and said that Harry had to
look into the Mirror of Erased which was also in the room, because he thought
that Harry knew where the Stone was. Harry saw that he had the Philosopher’s
Stone into his pocket! But he didn’t said anything of course because who now
what Voldemort’s plan was with the Stone. Unfortunately
Voldemort can see Harry’s thoughts because unicorn blood can make people very
strong. But because Harry didn’t want to give the Stone of course to Voldemort,
they had a real fight! But when Harry
touched Quirrel’s skin, there were blisters on the place where he touched it. So
of course Harry touched Quirrel’s skin everywhere before Quirrel could steal
the Stone. But Harry’s scar did so much hurt so he felt unconscious. His scar
did hurt when there is danger. So it wasn’t Snape who was jinxing the broom, it
was Quirrel. Snape had been muttering a countercurse! It wasn’t Snape who let
the troll in at Halloween, it was Quirrel! When all the teachers were looking
for the troll, Snape, who already suspected him, went straight to the third
floor to head Quirrel off. The three-headed dog had bitten in Snape’s leg while
he was protecting the Stone! So… Snape is good! He also was refereeing the
Quidditch match because he was afraid that Quirrel would jinxing the broom
again! And it was Quirrel who sent Professor Dumbledore a letter from the Ministry
of Magic. But Quirrel is now dead, Harry had killed him with his hands. But Voldemort…
he isn’t gone, it isn’t over. Now, the Stone is been destroyed. It’s the best. Three
days later Harry woke up finally! The whole school knows about him and what was
happened. We were so happy to see Harry again! And yes, Ron is also alright! So
we were complete. We had to go to the Great Hall. We were in the fourth place
of the House cup, unfortunately. But then Dumbledore said that there were a few
last-minute points to dish out! Ron received 50 points for the best-played game
of chess Hogwarts had seen in many years! I received 50 points for the use of
cool logic in the place of fire! Harry received 60 points for pure nerve and
outstanding courage! And Neville received 10 points for standing up to his
friends because that’s so difficult! So… we won!! We won the House Cup !! Slytherin
had won 7 years in a row and now, Gryffindor won! The next day we had our exam
results and they were pretty good. I came top of the year! But then we had to
leave Hogwarts… Everybody was very sad. I’m going to miss the lessons, the
professors and of course Harry, Ron and Hagrid. See you next year!

Through the trapdoor
We were ready to go. Nobody could stop us
now except… Neville appeared from behind the armchair. He was saying that we
can’t go out, we will be caught again. Gryffindor will be in even more trouble.
He wanted to fight with us if we go. Poor Neville! I shouted ‘Petrificus
Totalus’ and his whole body rigid, he swayed where he stood and then felt flat
on his face, stiff as a board. I’m sorry but I had no other choice! Then we
took the Invisibility Cloak and we were gone. Suddenly Peeves, the poltergeist
of the school, appeared and was asking ‘Who is there ? ‘ He was afraid for
Bloody Baron, also a ghost, so Harry pretended if he was Bloody Baron. Peeves let
us fortunately go because he believed it! Then we saw the door, it was already
ajar… Snape is already got past Fluffy. Harry put Hagrid’s flute to his lips
and blew. He kept playing when Ron and I opened the trapdoor. There wasn’t a trap
in it, all we saw was black. Harry gave the flute to me and jumped into it. He said
it was okay. It was a soft landing. Then Ron and I jumped. It was a plant where
we were sitting on, but then the plant started to twist snake-like tendrils
around her ankles. The more we strained against it, the tighter and faster the
plant wound around us. Suddenly I knew what it was. We had seen it by Herbology.
It was Devil’s Snare. I was trying to remember how to kill it. I suddenly knew
it, it hated light so I waved with my wand for light and we felt down. It was a
very dark place but we were okay. Suddenly we heard something. It was the sound
of wings. We reached the end of the passageway and saw keys, flying keys and we
saw a door, but the door was locked. We had to find the key but which one? Then
we took a broomstick and kicked off into the air. We grabbed and snatched but
the bewitched keys darted and dived so quickly it was almost impossible to
catch one. Suddenly Harry found him. There was a key where the feathers were all
crumpled on one side. Harry streaked after it and had it! He rammed it into the
lock and turned, it worked! The next room was very dark. But as we stepped into
it, light suddenly flooded the room to reveal an astonishing sight. We were
standing on the edge of a huge chessboard! We didn’t know what to do so we
asked it to the knight on the horse. He nodded when we asked him if we had to
join it to get across. Ron was taking the place of the knight, Harry was taking
the place of the bishop and I… I was taking the place of the castle. Then, it
started. At a sudden moment, we were nearly there when Ron said something… he
had to sacrifice himself. That leaves Harry free to checkmate the king. This
wasn’t what we wanted but we had no other choice. Ron had been knocked out and
we won. Then we looked at Ron and Harry was saying he is all right so we went
on and found another door. We came in a
room with 7 differently shaped bottles standing on it in a line. There was a
roll of paper lying next to the bottles with an enigma on it. It was logical so
after a few minutes I had found it. I had to drink a bottle for going back to
Ron. Harry was saying he had to go on. I had to warn Dumbledore and sent him an
owl. I did everything he said and Ron and I were waiting on the stairs till
Dumbledore came in, with Harry who was unconscious and went immediately to the
hospital….
the enigma :
Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind,
Two of us will help you, whichever you would find,
One among us seven will let you move ahead,
Another will transport the drinker back instead,
Two among our number hold only nettle-wine,
Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in line
Choose, unless you wish to stay here forevermore
To help you in your choice, we give you these clues four:
First, however slyly the poison tries to hide
You will always find some on nettle wine's left side
Second, different are those who stand at either end
But if you would move onward, neither is your friend;
Third as you see clearly, all are different size
Neither dwarf nor giant hold death in their insides;
Fourth, the second left and the second on the right
Are twins once you taste them, though different at first sight.

The plan
Today, Harry found out something. It was
very smart of him. Isn’t it odd that a stranger turns up who just had an egg in
his pocket? We went to Hagrid and asked
how the stranger looks like. He said he didn’t know because the stranger wouldn’t
take his cloak off. Then we asked him what he talked about. He said he had been
talking about Hogwarts and he said that if he can handle Fluffy, a dragon would
be easy! The stranger was very interested in Fluffy. So Hagrid told him that Fluffy
is a piece of cake if you know how to calm him down, just play him a bit of
music and he will go straight off to sleep! We knew it, thanks to Harry! The stranger
was Voldemort or Snape! We ran away and wanted to speak professor Dumbledore
but he wasn’t there. He had received an urgent owl from the Ministry of Magic
and flew off for London at once! Dumbledorre would be back tomorrow. That isn’t
good! It means that Snape is going through the trapdoor tonight. He found out
everything he needs and now he’s got Dumbledore out of the way! I bet he sent
that owl from the Ministry of Magic. Our first plan was following Snape but
that didn’t exactly worked so Harry came with another plan…. We are going out
of here tonight and we are going to try and get the Stone!

The Forbidden Forest
Today, Harry heard Quirrel talking to
somebody. He thinks it was Snape, but he isn’t sure because when Quirrel came
out of the room, there nobody else in it. Today, we had also our detention. All
6 of us. We had to go into the Forbidden Forest. There was a unicorn in there
been hurt badly and it was our task to find the unicorn. We were split inter
two parties and followed the blood of the unicorn in different directions. I was
with Harry and Hagrid. If anyone got in trouble, we had to send up red sparks. If
anyone found the unicorn, we had to send up green sparks. We were walking and
suddenly, we saw something. It was Ronan, a friend of Hagrid and a centaur(
half man, half horse). Hagrid asked Ronan if he saw something unusual but Ronan
kept saying that Mars was bright tonight. There came another centaur, Bane, and
he was also saying that Mars was bright tonight. Weird. Suddenly we saw red
sparks. Hagrid ran to the red sparks and came 10 minutes later back with
Malfoy, Neville and Fang, Hagrid’s dog. Malfoy had sneaked up behind Neville
and grabbed him for a joke. Neville had panicked and send up the sparks. Stupid
Malfoy! Now we were changing the groups. I was with Hagrid and Neville. We were
walking when suddenly we heard Malfoy scream. We saw Malfoy running to us and screaming:
‘there is someone who is drinking the unicorn blood!’ Hagrid became pale and we
ran out of the forest. Fortunately, Harry was there. He was very pale! He was
saying that it was Voldemort who was drinking the unicorn blood! Harry said
that unicorn blood will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but
at a terrible price. You have slain something pure and you will have but a half
life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips. Voldemort was
trying to kill Harry when suddenly Firenze, a centaur, rescued him! Firenze
saved him but Bane was furious that Firenze did that. He said it’s written into
the stars that Voldemort had to kill Harry. Centaurs believed everything what is
written into the stars, the stars are holy for them. So it is Voldemort who
wants the Philosopher’s Stone! Snape wants the Stone for Voldemort! It’s very
scary especially for Harry because Voldemort wants to kill him! Voldemort is
back… he is back! But everyone says professor Dumbledore is the only one Voldemort was ever afraid
of. With Dumbledore around, he won’t touch Harry. With Dumbledore around, Harry
is save!

Norbert
Today, we were visiting Hagrid because we
wanted to know what’s guarding the Stone apart from Fluffy. He didn’t want to
say anything so I was flattering Hagrid . It worked! He said that there were
enchantments from some of the teachers. He didn’t say anything more. Suddenly,
we saw a giant egg crash. Then we saw a dragon, a real Norwegian Ridgeback! But
that is illegal, having a dragon at home! Suddenly we heard something. It was
Malfoy! He was spying on us! He saw the dragon. Fortunettely he hadn’t say
anything to the teachers but Malfoy ‘s face during the next week made us
nervous. We went to Hagrid. Norbert, his dragon, is a little bit taller. He knows
he can’t keep him forever so he sent Charlie, Ron’s brother, a letter. Charlie
lives in Romania and he is studying dragons so we asked him if he can pick up
the dragon tonight. Norbert was mean and he bate Ron so Ron was token to the
hospital. Malfoy was saying that Ron was bitten by a dragon but no one believed
him. Malfoy told Madam Pomfrey he wanted to borrow one of Ron’s books so he
could come and have a good laugher at him. But Charlie’s letter was hidden in
that book! So he know we’re getting rid of Norbert. But… it was too late for
changing plans and we had the invisibility cloak. So, at midnight, we went to
the place with Norbert in the invisibility cloak. Suddenly we heard something,
it was professor McGonagall and Malfoy. Malfoy was getting detention because he
wasn’t in bed. Malfoy tried to explain why he was here but professor McGonagall
didn’t believe him. I was so happy! When they were gone, we saw Charlie’s
friends and gave him Norbert. We wanted to leave but we forgot the invisibility cloak. Not so smart because
suddenly we saw Filch and we got detention. Neville was trying to find us to
warn us. He heard Malfoy saying he was going to catch us, he said we had a dragon. So Neville had also detention
because Filch saw him too. Professor McGonagall was very mad on us. She took us
fifty points each from Gryffindor! But she thought we tried to get Malfoy in
trouble and fed him some cock-and-bull story about a dragon. And she thought
that Neville had heard the story, so Neville and Malfoy got only detention. Now,
Gryffindor was on the last place! Everybody was mad at us! But expecially on
Harry because Harry is famous and everyone knows him. Only someone who is in
Slytherin isn’t mad at him. Poor Harry.

Nicolas Flamel
Today, we searched in the library for more
information about Nicolas Flamel, but we didn’t find anything. I told them they
have to keep looking while I’m away with the Christmas holidays. When I came
back, harry said he had received an invisibility cloak but he didn’t know from
who. He only know that it has been from his father. He had now the ability of
going to the restricted section for searching information about Nicolas Flamel.
But he didn't find anything because Filch had heard Harry so Harry ran into a
chamber. He didn’t recognized the room and in the middle of the room stood a
mirror, the mirror of erased. He saw his parents in it, so he came back and
back because he wanted to see his parents as much as he could. One day when he
came back into the room, he saw professor Dumbledore. He said that the mirror
makes people unhappy and that it will be moved to a new home. He asked Harry
not to go looking for it. The mirror shows the deepest desire of our hearts. Pretty
cool, isn’t it? I was a little disappointed that they hadn’t at least found out
who Nicolas Flamel was. Harry said that he had read the name before, but he don’t
know where. Just before we went to bed, we ate chocolate frogs. That are real
frogs made of chocolate. With every frog is also a card with a famous wizard or
witch on it. And suddenly, Harry knew it! On a card with Dumbledore on it stood
that his partner of alchemy was Nicolas Flamel. And then, I knew it too. I ran
away and came back with a thick book. It was for a bit of light reading. I had
read about Nicolas Flamel in the book! Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker
of the Philosopher’s Stone: a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The Stone
will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life,
which will make the drinker immortal. So that’s what the dog must be guarding
and that’s why Hagrid moved the Stone out of Gringotts. Gringotts is the savest
bank ever with a underground network. There are goblins who work in Gringotts. Nicolas
Flamel thought that Hogwarts was saver. When Harry and Hagrid went to Gringotts for money ,
Hagrid got also to vault 713 and took a little package out of it, the
Philosopher’s Stone! Nicolas Flamel knew there was someone who was trying to
steal it because later that day, there was profaned in Gringotts and vault 713 was
destroyed. So that’s means that the Stone was almost stolen out of Gringotts! The
next day, Harry had to play Quidditch. Snape was refereeing, so we were afraid that
Snape was going to kill Harry by jinxing the broom, but Snape didn’t do
anything. Harry won! It had to be a record,no one could ever remember the
Snitch had been caught so quickly. Hooray Harry! At the evening, Harry told us
he had seen Snape talking to Quirrel in the Forbidden Forest . He was trying to
force Quirrel. He wanted to know how to get past Fluffy. This isn’t good…

Evil Snape
Today,
it was the start of the Quidditch season. Harry could be playing in his first
match after weeks of training: Gryffindor versus Slytherin. If Gryffindor won,
they would move up into second place in the House Championship! He didn’t want
to eat this morning because he was very nervous. Then the match started. It was
very exciting! But suddenly Harry started acting weird. His broomstick was
behaving strangely. It was carrying him slowly higher, away from the game,
jerking and twitching as it went. Suddenly, I knew what it was, it was Snape! He
was jinxing the broom! He had his eyes fixed on Harry and was muttering
non-stop under his breath. I had a brilliant idea! I set Snape’s coat on fire
so he was distracted. It worked! Harry was speeding towards the ground when the
crowd saw him clapping his hand to his mouth as though he was about to be sick. He coughed
and something gold felt into his hands. It was the Golden Snitch, we won! After
the match, we went to Hagrids hut for a cup of tea and told Hagrid that it was
Snape who was jinxing the broom. He didn’t believe us. Then we told him about the three-headed dog at Halloween. It’s
from Hagrid and he called it Fluffy. A weird name for a giant dog with 3 heads.
We told him that we think that Snape is trying to steal whatever Fluffy is guarding. Because Harry
saw Snape and Filch talking. Snape was blooding on one of his legs and he was
talking about three heads! So we were thinking that he tried to get past Fluffy
at Halloween and we think he let the troll in, to create a diversion! But Hagrid
didn’t believe us… He said only ‘ You forget that dog, and you forget what it’s
guarding. That’s between professor
Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.’ But who’s Nicolas Flamel ?

Halloween
Today, it was Halloween and my worst day
ever. At the beginning of the day, we were learning the spell “wingardium
leviosa” . This spell gives the ability to let objects fly. But Ron was saying it wrong so I said “It’s wing-gar-dium levi-o-sa.”
But then, he became mad. After the lesson , I heard Ron saying to Harry “It’s
no wonder no one can stand her, she’s a nightmare honestly.” After that, I ran
into the toilet and sat there all day long, crying. Suddenly I heard big steps. I
was afraid so I hided me. I thought I heard Harry and Ron too and … a lock. Oh
no, I could have cried, they locked me in with … a troll! Yes , a real troll.
He was standing there and he was trying to kill me. I shouted and cried and at
that moment, Harry and Ron came in. I couldn’t move and run away while they
were confusing the troll. I was too afraid. Then Harry suddenly jumped on the troll’s neck and his wand had
gone straight up one of the troll’s nostrils. It was very brave and stupid
because the troll wanted to hit Harry with his club. Then, Ron did also
something very brave. Yes , Ron Weasley! He said the spell ‘ wingardium
leviosa’ and this time, it worked! So now, he had the club and took it out of
the hands of the troll and let it drop on his head. The troll was been knocked
out! But then we saw professor McGonagall running into the room with professor
Snape and professor Quirrel. She was very angry and took us 5 points from
Gryffindor! She was very disappointed in me… But she gave us 10 points for
taken a full grown mountain troll! From this moment, I became Harry and Ron’s
friend.
