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!
