We were in the dining hall. Harry was out serving detention with Lockhart, the new Professor of the dark arts. Dinner was almost over and my brother has yet to show. Hermione and ron had went to go find him. I took some food wrapped in a napkin knowing he was probably going to be hungry, later if he wasn't. I placed in my pocket. It was one thing. We started heading to the common room when we saw my brother, Hermione, and Ron standing in the hallways looking at something.


The chamber of Secrets has been open. Enemies of the heir... beware


I felt squimish when i saw Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat on the light post hanging.


"Enemies of the Heir beware?" we all turned our attention to Malfoy. "You'll be next Mudbloods."


That's when Mr. Flinch came in. All it took was one look at his cat and he went charging at my brother. But he didnt get close as Dumbeldore came and then saw the scene in front of us.


The professors then told us to start heading to the dormontiers. Except my brother and his friends.


"Harry."


"Go Davina." he said reassuring me. Neville tug me along as we started walking to the dorms. When we got there i waited for them to come back. I was already changed and when they walked in i stood up.


"Davina you should be asleep."


"I couldn't." I said getting up. "I thought you might be hungry."


Harry smiled. "Thank you, now go to sleep Davina."


I ran back into my room and then went into my bed.


"Night Davina."


"Night Ginny."


~~~~~~~~~~~


Professor Lockhart was holding a dueling club. I was with Neville and Ginny talking to them when Lockhart walked into the table, where the dueling was going to happen.


"Gather around. Gather around." he walked to the center of the table as everyone got close. Ginny and i were lucky to be at the very front seeing everything.


"Can everybody see me? Can you all hear me?" he walked all the way down. "Excellent. Enlight of dark events in recent weeks... Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little dueling club to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourself, as I myself have done on countless occasions. For full details see my publish works."


Is there anything about him that he tries to be normal? Everything about him screams that he has no clue what he's doing. From what Ron and Harry told me about in class with him, he didn't even know how to get the Pixies back in the cages. And they had to clean the mess, though Hermione defended him and said it was a strategy to prepare them, that he knew what he was doing.


Lockhart tossed his cape where three girls tried to reach for it and one got it in the end.


"Let me introduce to you, my assistant, Professor Snape."


We all turned and looked as Snape walked up on to the table.


"He has sportingly agreed to help me with a short demonstration, now i don't want anyone of you youngters to worry." he said pointing at everything. "You'll have your potions master when I'm through with him. Never fear." he winked at one of the girls. They met in the middle, held up there wands and turned around and walked away from each other.


I looked across from me towards the left and saw Draco looking at me. I looked away and looked back between Lockhart and Snape.


They were now facing each other.


"One, two, three."


"Expelliarmus." Snape shouted and pointed his wand at Lockhart. Which to everyone amusement Lockhart went flying and landing on his back.


A few of us burst into laughter, even i was laughing. Lockhart got up and started walking over.


"An excellent idea to show them that Professor Snape, but if you don't mind my saying it was pretty obvious what you were about to do. So if i wanted to stop you, it would only be too easy."


"Perhaps it would be pretend to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, Professor."


I wanted to laugh more at Lockhearts face when Snape suggested that. But I couldnt so i just smiled in amusement.


"An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape." he turned around and looked around. "Let's have a volunteer pair." he looked at my brother. "Potter, Weasley come on up."


"Weasley's wand would only cause devastation with with simplest spells." Snape said. "You'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox." harry was already up on the table. "Might i suggest someone from my own house. Malfoy, perhaps?"


Snape turned around and pointed at Draco. He jumped up onto the table and walked to the center, taking out his wand. They walked to the middle facing each other. I began playing with my sleeves, trying not to make it obvious i was worried for my brother.


"Wands at the ready." they raised their wands in front of their face.


"Scared Potter?"


"You wish." he replied.


They placed their wands to their side and then began to turn and walked away from each other. When they turned around they got into stance having their wand ready to cast a spell.


"On the count of three cast your charms to disarm your opponent, only to disarm." Lockhart said. "We don't want any accidents here."


"You got this harry." i whispered.


"One..." oh boy.


"Two..."


"Everta status." Draco shouted.


The spell hit my brother and sent him flying back. I clutch onto the table and looked at him. Some of the slytherin were snickering and being proud. I swear one day they are going to get it.


Harry got back on his feet and got back into his stance. "Rictumsempra." he shouted, which sent Malfoy spinning in the air and landing on his bum. I relaxed a bit and smiled seeing slytherin look angry.


Snape grabbed Malfoy and pushed him back in.


"I said disarm only."


"Serpensotira." Malfoy said as a snake was shot out. Ginny and i stepped back as it slid forward.


Harry stanced closed as he stood back up.


"Don't move Potter I'll remove it."


"Allow me Professor Snape." lockhart said. Oh no. "Verlate alscenderay."


The snake shot in the air and then fell back down. That's when my insane brother started walking towards it. Hissing at it, but it wasn't nissing it was like another language.


He kept saying something to the snake, that had everyone looking at him as if he had three heads. It was nothing new Harry did this last year at the Zoo we visited for Dudley's birthday.


The snake went towards one student, a hufflepuff. Harry said something to the snake louder, causing it to turn it's head towards him.


"Repair Evanasca." Snape said and the snake disappeared. Everyone was staring at my brother, so were the professors. What I didnt get was they look at him as if he was now posion or something scary.


"Well, that's enough for today. Carry on." Lockhart said.


I followed my brother, hermione and Ron into the common room. That was until Neville came to me.


"Can you do it too?"


"What?" i asked him.


"Speak Parseltongue." he whispered as we continued to walk to class.


"What's that?"


"Snake language." he said looking around.


"Snakes have a language?"


He nodded. "Harry was speaking it just now, it's not a very common gift. It's really rare."


"No i can't." i told him. "I always thought--"


Someone bump into me as Neville and I trip and fell on the floor. There was laughter and I look up to see a Syltherin girl from my year was laughing. I also saw Draco and his group of friends laughing as well.


~~~~~~~~~


Classes were about to begin so i went to my class. I sat down and everyone looked at me.


"Do you think she's like her brother?" one of the girls whispered who was ravenclaw.


I sat alone and got class over with. When i was finished i went to a place that i found where i could think and be alone. Harry knows where it was, it was outside. I looked out into the sun as it was getting ready to set. Everyone was looking at me. Something told me Harry looks were worse because they talked about how sorry they felt for me because of what Harry could do. Then i remembered. The chamber of secrets can only be opened by the heir of Slytherin. And the beast inside can only be controlled by the heir. Salazar Slytherin spoke parseltongue, snake language.


I began to write this down on my journal. There was a shadow cast down onto my journal and I had to was take one glance and knew excatly who it was.


"What are you doing here?" i looked up and saw Malfoy standing there.


He didnt answer.


"Where are you two sidekicks?" i asked looking back down and continue to write.


"Nowhere that interest you. What exactly are you doing?" he stepped forward and tried to snatch my journal. I sat up and held it close to my chest, taking my wand out with my other hand.


He smirked and took a step back. "What are you going to do? Run to your pathetic brother? Who knows maybe he would take away supper from you."


"You don't know a single thing about me, Malfoy." i said closing my journal and grabbing my things. When i got back up he was still smirking.


"You think you're so brave. You aren't stop pretending to be."


"From what i hear you aren't either." i lowered my wand. "Something about screaming like a little girl when a troll showed up last year. And did also you look flabbergasted when my brother completely humiliate you in front of everyone at the dueling club."


His smirk drop, actually his whole expression.


I walked around him heading to the common room.


~~~~~~~~~~~~
{Time jump}


It's now been almost a month since that whole thing. As of now i was in the library in the back corner alone.


"We need your help." Hermione said sitting beside me.


"What for?"


"Harry says you make the most delicious sweets." she whispered.


"Yes, even our cousin Dudley enjoys them. And he's a picky eater."


"Well, i was wondering if you can help me whip something up."


I went with hermione to the kitchen where i would go once in a while. I liked baking but i couldn't touch an oven. I know i was only 11, but Aunt Petunia didn't care since i was nine. I worked on oven only this year.


After making hermione her two cupcakes she smile in delight. "There really do look good."


"Thanks."


I made some cookies as well while we were working on those two cupcakes. It wasn't much but then i went upstairs heading to the common room. Not really wanting to know what the golden trio were up too, i knew it had something to do with the Chamber of secrets.


As i was walking down the hall, i bumped into a slytherin girl.


"God watch it!" she shouted at me.


"Sorry." i said and immediately squat down and picked up my books.


"You should be." i looked up and immediately recognize her as Pansy. Mostly because of her puglook face and the fact that she's also almost always around Draco Malfoy and his goons.


"And what is going on here?" we both turn and just my luck Snape was passing by. Just peachy.


"She bumped into me." pansy said looking at me. "On purpose."


I sighed not really wanting to get into an unnecessary fight. "I didn't mean to, and I've already apologized."


"Did not." she said with sass. What was her problem?


"Miss. Parkinson." snape said. "That's enough, Miss. Potter has already apologized for something she hasn't done."


Pansy and I looked at him confused. Usually he sides with his house students. What was going on?


"Now, Miss. Potter I suggest you move on now."


"Yes, sir." I said walking around Pansy and heading to the common room. When I was going to enter the staircase, I saw Malfoy. "Seriously?"


"Potter." he strode over to me. "Have you seen Crabbe and Goyle?"


"No." I said. "But I wouldn't have told you anyway." I walked around him as he grabbed my arm and turned me around. He glanced down at my hands and saw me holding a box, where I held my cookies.


"What's this for?" He picked one up. "Need to be plump? Who's given you these horrible nasty pastries."


"I made them." I said snatching my arm. "And I don't really care for your opinion anyway. Your opinion never mattered to me."


I walked towards the fat lady and said the password to get in. All I want to do is get some sleep.
