"Don't tell her that, you little scamp." Nicholas grumbled.
"Alright." Harry grinned as he suddenly remembered the package rolled up in his feet. He picked it up on the floor and rolled it open. "Could you hang this in my room?"
Harry whistled a tune as he walked with his two friends. They had just finished Potions and were eager to spend the weekend relaxing. He was blissfully unaware that Hermione and Padma were giving him the silent treatment, to the two girls' irritation.
It had been three days since Padma and Hermione had decided to punish Harry for continually refusing to tell them where he'd been disappearing off to for hours at a time. Unfortunately the silent treatment had not been working, since Harry by nature did not speak much.
"You want some?" Harry fished out of his pockets a bag of chocolates and offered it to his friends.
Hermione and Padma ignored the offered gift though they were tempted when they saw that this was not just a pack of chocolate frogs. When the two girls did not reply, Harry shrugged and popped a piece in his mouth and continued walking to their favorite spot under the tree, with a small smile on his face.
Hermione looked at her friend and sighed and exchanged glances with Padma. Their plan was not working, and they were the ones who were growing impatient with their friend's relaxed nature. It was not bothering him that they had not spoken a word with him outside of the classroom, and he even looked happy with it.
"That's it!" Hermione slammed her book shut and confronted the young boy who was lying on the grass looking at the clouds overhead. Padma followed her friends' actions and sat upright beside her fellow Ravenclaw.
"Hmm?" Harry asked absently. He continued staring at the clouds and grinned when he noticed that one particular cloud looked like Franz, the sorting hat.
"Why don't you tell us where you keep disappearing to?" Hermione said. "Harry, we are your friends aren't we?"
Harry snapped out of his daze and looked at the two girls. "What are you on about?"
Hermione made an impatient sound in the back of her throat and Padma shook her head.
"You don't trust us Harry, and we are supposed to be your friends." Padma said softly.
"You are my friends." Harry said as he sat up.
"Then why don't you tell us where you keep disappearing into?" Hermione asked. "And don't tell me you just slept in an empty classroom, that excuse only worked last year."
Hermione's words made Harry remember his earlier conversation with Fleur about trust and wondered why these girls keep bringing up the subject. He realized that he was not paying as much attention to his friends in Hogwarts because of his busy schedule with Julian and at the Tonks residence.
"Sorry Hermione, Padma." Harry said. "I realize that I'm not acting like a good friend huh?"
Hermione smiled softly. "You are a good friend Harry, it's just that sometimes your mind's not completely there when we talk to you. And then you keep disappearing for hours at a time, and it's just frustrating for us not to know where you are."
"I've been practicing..." Harry said, thinking of a quick reason.
"Practicing?" Padma asked.
"Yeah..." Harry nodded. "Our Defense class is rubbish, that's why I'm doing some independent study of my own. "
Hermione opened her mouth to argue but she was interrupted by Harry.
"Admit it Hermione, Lockhart's not much of a teacher." Harry replied. Ever since the first class, Lockhart had only picked girls to help him reenact the scenes from his book for fear that the boys will copy the Boy-Who-Lived's example.
"Fine... you could have told us that Harry. You didn't have to sneak behind our backs." Hermione said. Although the lessons were entertaining enough, she realized that they had not been learning much about Defense against the Dark Arts. "Can we join you?"
"Sure..." Harry said, relieved that his latest excuse had worked.
"You're late." Tom scowled impatiently as she tapped her foot.
"Sorry." The masked thief said. "Dumbledore's speech took too long."
At the mention of the Headmaster's name, the little girl scowled. "No matter, follow me."
Harry warily moved closer to the girl and he heard her speak to a sink.
"Open." The girl hissed and Harry leapt back when the sinks in the middle of the bathroom started to move.
"This is the entrance to the chamber of Secrets... and the lair of Georgina." The girl said proudly. "Stairs."
A series of steps emerged from the walls and Harry peered through the gloom.
"Come, we have much to do, and little time to do it." Harry warily followed the girl down the stairs, lighting his wand against the darkness. He moved closer to the girl, and noticed the edge of a small book peeking out from her pockets, with the name of Tom Marvolo Riddle written at the top right corner of the diary. Harry wondered if this book could help the old man and decided to use the opportunity of the enclosed space.
"Watch where you step fool!" The girl hissed. She almost stumbled down the slippery steps when the young thief bumped into her.Harry looked on in amazement at the large underground cave beneath Hogwarts. Bones of dead animals littered the dam floor, and the young thief swore he saw the skeletal remains of a few centaurs.
"Welcome, descendant, to the chamber of Secrets." The girl swept her arm around the large underground cave.
"Nice," Harry said simply as he looked around. A series of statues of snakes lined the sides of the chamber, while a large head was carved in the face of a large rock.
"Salazar Slytherin..." Harry whispered.
"Yes." The girl said as she gazed at the carved face of her ancestor "Impressive, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Harry nodded.
"Now, before you help me cleanse Hogwarts of the unworthy, I need to know that I can trust you." The girl turned around to face the masked thief. "Remove your mask so that I can see the face of my descendant."
