Madelyn: [coming to another passageway to the right, she beckons Sky, Ron and Lockhart to follow her] This way. [the four of them walk into a cavern-like room with a massive and lengthy snakeskin on the floor]
Ron: [as Harry walks along the snakeskin] What's this?
Lockhart: [feeling nervous] It looks like a... snake.
Madelyn: [as she examines it] It's a snakeskin.
Ron: Bloody hell. Whatever shed this must be sixty feet long. Or more. [Lockhart faints, most likely from fear] [sarcastically as Maddie and Sky turns their attention to Lockhart] Heart of a lion, this one.
Lockhart: [suddenly grabbing Ron's wand and getting to his feet while breathing wickedly and pointing the wand at Maddie] The adventure ends here, boys. But don't fret. The world will know our story. How I was too late to save the girl, [points the wand at Ron] how you three tragically lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body. So... [points the wand at Maddie again] ...you first, Ms. Potter. Say good-bye to your memories. [waves the wand wildly as he shouts] Obliviate!

"Hang on! Ron's wand is broken!" Said Remus suddenly.

[The wand emits green light, causing Lockhart to fly backwards, slam into the wall, then fall to the floor. A couple seconds later, a rumbling begins, then rocks begin to fall from the ceiling; Maddie takes cover as huge rocks go flying over her while Ron and Sky backs up against the wall as the rocks form a massive pile.]
Ron: [coughing from the dust produced by the rocks] Maddie!! [Maddie pulls her robe free from one of the rocks]
Skyler: Addie!
Madelyn: [running to a opening in the big pile of rocks separating her from the twins] Ron! Sky! are you okay?
Skyler & Ron: I'm fine!
Lockhart: [groans and sits up] Hello. Who are you?

"ha! This is brilliant!" James laughs as well as Sirius, a couple of others snicker as well as Lockhart looks down in embarrassment.

Ron: Um... Ron and Sky Weasley.
Lockhart: Really? And, uh... who-who am I?
Skyler: [realizing Lockhart has erased his own memory by accident, he turns toward Maddie again] Lockhart's memory charm backfired! He hasn't got a clue who he is!
Lockhart: [picks up a small rock as Harry watches through the opening] It's an odd sort of place this is, isn't it? [tosses the rock in his hand then glances at Ron] Do you live here?
Ron: [taking the rock from Lockhart] No.
Lockhart: Really? [Ron smacks Lockhart on the back of the head with the rock, knocking him out; Maddie winks slightly]
Skyler: [glancing at Maddie through the opening again] What do we do now?
Madelyn: You three wait here, and try and shift some of this rock so we can get back through. I'll go on and find Ginny.
Ron: [as Maddieturns and climbs down from the pile of rocks] Okay.
Skyler: be careful Addie!
[Maddie draws her wand as she steps onto the floor again and walks forward. Up ahead, she sees a circular door with seven snake-shaped locks on it, and steps towards it.]
Madelyn: Hesha- Hassah. (Open.)
[An eighth snake slithers out from the door's mechanical hinge, and slithers along the door's edge, causing the other seven snakes to retract one by one. As the snake slithers back into the hinge, the door slowly opens. Maddie steps forward; on the other side is the Chamber of Secrets. Maddie cautiously steps through the door, into the Chamber, towards the ladder in the doorway.]
