Isabelle's POV
I got up and got dressed up. Hermione's probably waiting for me downstairs.
So, I went downstairs and saw her and....
"Erika?"
She looked at me and smiled.
"Hey."
"Don't 'hey' me, Erika. Where were you for the past few days?" I asked.
"Oh, hehe...sorry about that. I was studying." She replied
Eh? Erika studies? She didn't studying during the summer but now she is? I thought.
"At least that you're back Erika. Come on, lets get going to class." Hermione said
Erika nodded and we left the common room. But the thing that is bothering me is that Erika is acting very strange.

~Transfiguration Class~
"Can I have your attention please. Today we will be transforming animals into water goblets." said McGongall. Cool. I thought.
"Like so. 1,2,3. Ferrea Verto." McGongall's bird turned onto a goblet.
I was amazed by that.
"Now, it's your turn. Who will to go first. Ah, Mr. Weasley, 1,2,3. Ferra Verto." McGongall instructed.
Ron nodded and waved his wand three times. "Ferra Verto."
The spell didn't work and Ron ended up turning his rat into a goblet with a tail. I started to giggle quietly, sitting right beside Hermione.
"That wand needs replacing, Mr. Weasley." said McGongall.
Ron nodded.
Hermione raised her hand.
"Yes, Miss Granger?" McGongall asked.
"Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber Of Secrets." she said.
The room went silent.
McGongall sighed.
"Very well. Well as you all know, over a thousand years ago, Hogwarts was founded by four of the Greatest Witches and Wizards of the age. Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflehuff, Rowna Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. And three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. One did not." McGongall said.
"Three guesses who." Ron said.
"Salazar Slytherin decided to be more selective about the students who were admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept with all magical families in other words pure-bloods. Unable to suede the others, he decided to leave the school. Now according to Legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle known as the Chamber Of Secrets. Though, shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The Heir alone would be alone to open the chamber and releasing a creature who would kill those who he did not want at the this school." McGongall explained.
"Muggleborns." Hermione said.
McGongall nodded. "Well, naturally, this school has been searched many times. No such Chamber has been found."
"Professor, what does Legend tell us what lies beneath the Chamber?" I asked.
"The Chamber, it said to be the home of something that only the Heir of Slytherin can control. It is said to be the home of...a Monster." McGongall replied.
A monster? I thought.
Class was over and Harry, Hermione, Ron and I walked together. But Erika told us she's going somewhere else.
Seriously though, this isn't what I expected.
"I guess we'll see Erika later then?" Hermione said, seeing Erika walking away.
I looked at Harry and he simply frowned at that.
"Do you think it's true? Do you really think there really is a Chamber Of Secrets?" Ron asked.
"Yes, couldn't you tell? McGongall is worried. All the teachers are." said Hermione.
"But, if there really is Chamber Of Secrets and it if really has been opened...that means.." Harry said.
"The Heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts. But the thing is...who is it?" I said.
"Let's think. Who do we know who thinks all Muggle-borns are scum?" Ron asked, with sarcasm.
"If you're talking about Malfoy---" Hermione started.
"Of course. You heard him. 'You'll be next, Mudbloods." Ron said.
"We all heard him, Ron. But Malfoy, the Heir of Slytherin?" I said.
"Maybe Ron's right, Belle. I mean, look at his family. The whole lot of them have been in Slytherin for Centuries." said Harry.
"Crabbe and Goyle must know. Maybe we could trick them into telling." said Ron.
"Even they aren't that thick. But there might be another way." said Hermione.
"Another way?" I asked.
Hermione nodded. "But, it would be difficult. Not to mention we'd be breaking about 50 school rules...and it'll be dangerous. Very dangerous."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~Library~
We were at the library right now.
"Here it is. The Polyjuice Potion." said Hermione, holding the book. She opened the book and I looked over her shoulder and read:
"Properly brewed, the Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker...to transform himself temporarily into the physical form of another."
"You mean, if Harry and I drink that stuff, we'll turn into Crabbe and Goyle?" Ron asked.
"Yes." said Hermione.
"Wicked! Malfoy will tell us anything." said Ron.
"Exactly. But it's tricky. I've never seen a more complicated potion." said Hermione.
"Well, how long will it take to make?" Harry asked.
"Let's see...." I looked at the book.
"It takes month." I replied.
"A month? But, Hermione, Belle. If Malfoy is the Heir of Slytherin...he could attack half the Muggle-borns in the school by then." said Harry.
"I know...but it's the only plan we got." said Hermione.

Erika's POV
I'm not doing this again.
You're going to have to, Erika. Don't you want to be loved again, to get attention from your father, instead of your twin sister? Ever since my diary was in Ginny Weasley's bag, you told her if that was her book. She answered no, but she let you have it. And now....you're under my command.
No! I'm not doing this to anyone.
It's too late now, Erika. The Chamber has already opened.
You made me opened it!
But who was the one who had the diary? Who was the one who opened it?
I didn't answer right after that....
Now...Erika, here's I want you to do.
~Here's another chapter! I'm so excited! And I think you all know who Erika's talking too. Comment, heart it, and follow!~
