Chapter Text
The Chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir beware. The notice glistened on the wall as Ron and Hermione tried to pull Harry away.
"Come on Harry, we don not want to be caught here," Ron said.
But it was too late, they heard the school leaving the feast, walking the halls and stairs, coming to a halt from both ends of the corridor as they spotted the writing and then Mrs Norris hanging stiffly. The three stood alone inthe centre as students pushed, trying to see what had stopped the movement.
Then there was a shout: "enemies of the heir beware! You'll be next, Mudbloods!"
It was Draco Malfoy, and at that Ron lost it. Despite Filch running up the hall, no doubt followed by other teachers called up by Malfoy's shout. He (Ron), leapt at Malfoy drawing his spellotaped wand- "You little-"
Malfoy dodged, going backwards so that he was between Harry and Ron, sparks erupted from the wand, the other students dodged.
"Mr. Weasley!" came a stern reprimend, the teachers had arrived. "I know that this situation'- Professor McGonagall glanced at the wall- 'is tense... But! that does not give you the right to draw you wand on another student."
During this, Dumbledore had quickly removed Mrs Norris from the wall away from the eyes of the students as he tried to calm Filch. He looked up as Ron jabbed his wand and called out:
"Why me,Professor, didn't you hear what he said? He can't say that!" A stream of blue and purple light came out of his wand at Malfoy. Unexpected as it was- Malfoy not believeing a Weasley would use his wand in front of a teacher after the whole flying a car to school incident, -he still managed to duck, letting the stream pass harmlessly by to Harry, who really wasn't expecting it and was quite frankly, focusingon more important matters: the voice, Mrs Norris and whether they would be expelled or not for this incident.
Struck in the chest, he looked up in shock, engulfed in the light. He wasn't truly worried- surely the teachers could do something, but no, after all, this was unexpected for them as well.
Ron and Hermione looked on, horrified, held back by Professor Snape as their friend glowed and then disapeared.
