Chapter 8

2nd September – Hogwarts –


POV Harry:


Yesterday, after I got off the train was horrible. I met again with the traitors and they started bugging me and then at the welcoming fest, Dumbledork presented that pink frog, Umbridge as the new teacher. I will not anger her or it will be worst for me.


Ron: Mate are you okay?


Harry: Um... Yeah, right. Aren't you hungry?


Ron: Why do you ask?


Harry: You're not eating nothing.


Ron: I'm waiting for the mail.


Harry: Oh, okay.


With that we start to hear the owls coming with the mail. And one of them, which I recognize immediately as Hedwig comes to me. Is it from Regulus, please be it?


I look at the letter and see that it truly was from Regulus. I open it and read it.


Dear Harry,


Remus has already told me what you told him, I'm really sorry that


I didn't say to you those words before so that now we would already be dating, but I was afraid that you didn't feel the same with me being older than you and your cousin. I know that it's a really strange thing to ask you this through a letter but I don't know when I will see you again so I want to be with you already.


So, will you be my boyfriend, Harrison James Potter Black?


Sincerely,


Lord Regulus Arcturus Black.


Oh my god, he really asked me out! I take out a scroll that always carried and write him my response, then I call for Hedwig and tell her to bring it to Regulus.


Ron: Hey, mate. What was that?


I look up and see that Hermione and Ron are looking at me with questioning looks.


Harry: What was what?


Hermione: The letter. When you saw who wrote it you were beaming with happiness?


Ron: So, who was it from?


Harry: Oh, it was from Sirius. He was asking if I had arrived fine.


Hermione: You were to happy for a letter of Sirius.


Harry: Is because I'm really happy to have someone that cares about me now. Sirius is like my family.


They gave me two sad smiles and change the conversation to talk about the studies. How false are they, that smiles were really false! Ugh, I hate it here.


After that I pass with them the morning in the garden and we pass the lunch together too, but after lunch I lose them in the corridors and go to the girl's bathroom in the second floor to wait for the others.


At least I have the Marauder's map, if I had left it in the bedroom they would now where I'm.


Luna: Hello Heir!


I turn around and see Luna, Neville and the twins.


Fred & George: Why is she calling you Heir?


Harry: I'm the Heir of Hogwarts, remember? And Luna, you can call me only Harrison or Harry.


Neville, Fred & George: Harrison?


Harry: Oh, that's my full name, Harry is only the shorten version of it.


Luna: Then, can I call you Harrison?


Harry: You can, if you want that.


Draco: We're here Potter.


I turn around and see Malfoy with a black-haired girl with green eyes, a dark-skinned boy with black hair and a fair-skinned boy with black hair too.


Harry: Why do you still call me Potter? I'm your cousin, you can call me by my name.


Draco: For now, I will call you Potter.


Harry: So, are you going to introduce us, or...?


Draco: They already know who all of you are, well minus Luna, she is Luna Lovegood from Ravenclaw.


Harry: We still don't know who are they.


Draco: Okay, she is Pansy Parkinson, Heir of the Noble House of Parkinson.


He says pointing the black-haired girl.


Draco: He is Theodore Nott, Heir of the Ancient and Noble House of Nott.


This time he points at the fair-skinned boy.


Draco: And he is Blaise Zabini, Heir of the Italian Noble House of Zabini.


And finally, he points to the dark-skinned boy.


Blaise: Nice to meet you Lord Potter, Heir Longbottom, Heir Lovegood and Weasley twins.


Harry: I suppose that Draco told you that I'm a Lord instead of an Heir, right?


They nod.


Draco: So, Potter why did you told us to meet you here?


Harry: Oh, you will see?


I say smirking, then I turned around and look at the snakes in the sink.


Harry: Open


After saying this in Parseltongue, the sink opens to letting see a dark tunnel.


Draco: Is that what I think it is?


Harry: Yes, this is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets and only a person that speaks Parseltongue can enter.


They look at me surprised, but the Slyterins had a look of excitement in them. Well, the Chamber was made by Salazar Slytherin himself so I think that they should be excited to be able to access a thing that the founder of their house had done.


Harry: Stairs.


With that stairs appear so that we can go downstairs in the tunnel.


Harry: You first.


And that's the sentence that makes them start to enter to the tunnel, being me the last one so I can close the entrance.


Harry: Close.


It closes and we start to make our way to the other door before the Chamber.


Draco: How many doors there are?


Harry: Only two, I think. I never had the chance to explore the Chamber because I was about to get killed and after that I didn't have time to come. Open.


The door opens to let us see the last corridor to the Chamber where we find the dead Basilisk.


Pansy: Oh my god, what is this?


Harry: A Basilisk?


Pansy: I know, but is giant.


Harry: Of course, I know that. Do you know how hard was to get rid of this snake?


Draco: Do you mean, that you are the one who killed it?


Harry: Yes, after it bite me, I killed it with the Gryffindor sword that appeared from the Sorting hat.


Master you are here.


Harry: I told you to not call me Master, you can call me Harry.


Draco: Do any of you know what is he saying or who is he talking to?


I turn around and see all of them shaking their head.


Harry: Well, welcome to the Chamber of Secrets. And, I was talking with Anubis.


Draco: Your snake familiar, us he here?


Harry: Yes, come here Anubis and if Onyx is with you get her.


Okay master Harry.


I think that he only does that to get on my nerves.


With that I start to hear some footsteps running through us, till I see that is Onyx who is running to me and jumps into me.


Harry: Hey, Onyx.


Sorry, Harry, I couldn't stop her.


Harry: It's fine.


I look around and see that all of them want to approach but don't know how.


Harry: Onyx, Anubis do you remember the twins, you met them in the summer. The others are Neville, Luna, Blaise, Pansy, Theodore and my cousin, Draco.


Nice to meet you.


Pansy: What did he say?


Harry: Oh, Anubis said that it's nice meeting you and Onyx is happy that she can meet new friends.


Draco: I wish I could have a familiar.


Harry: Why don't you ask it to your father?


Draco: Maybe I will do it.


Blaise: Where did you buy them?


Harry: In Knockturn Alley.


Neville: You went to Knockturn Alley?


Fred: Oh, yes, he did and


George: He also bought a new wand


Fred & George: Which doesn't have the trace.


Neville: New wand?


Harry: Apart from the charms and potions I also had blocks in my magic.


Pansy: Did you say blocks? Who put blocks in the savior of the Wizarding World?


I'm sure that the last words that she said were filled with sarcasm.


Harry: Oh, yeah. Dumbledore is the one who put them.


Blaise: The Headmaster? Why would he do it?


Harry: I don't know, but he has been stealing from me and given it to my 'friends'.


Draco: Oh, so that's why you don't like the mudblood and the younger Weasels anymore?


Harry: Yes, but I still have to pretend that they're my friends so then they aren't suspicious about me.


Pansy: That has sense, but now that we talked about that. I really want to ask about the letter that you received this morning?


Neville: Oh, yes, me too.


Fred: Does this letter have


George: anything to do with


Fred: someone black-haired with


George: with grey eyes


Fred & George: which is also your mate?


Uh, what?! Did they know? I don't think so?


Blaise and Pansy: Who are you talking about?


Draco: They're talking about my mother's cousin.


Blaise: Sirius Black?


Luna: Oh, no. They're talking about the younger one, Regulus Black.


Pansy: But I heard that he is dead.


With that, I start to tell the story again and also the story about what happened in Gringotts, so they know everything minus the part of Regulus and me being mates.


Neville: So, that's what happened?


Harry: Yes.


Pansy: Okay, but don't try to change the subject.


Harry: Uh.


Pansy: The letter, remember?


At this, I start to blush at the thought of the letter that Regulus wrote to me.


Fred: Oh, little Harrison is blushing.


George: Does it mean what I think?


Fred & George: The letter was from Regulus!


Pansy: I know that Regulus is the cousin of Harry and Regulus, but how do you know that it's from him when he is blushing?


Fred: That's easy.


George: Harry always is blushing around Regulus.


Fred: Specially when Regulus is flirting with him.


Blaise: But they're cousins, right?


Draco: Blaise, you know that that doesn't matter.


Blaise: Well, yeah. But it's still strange.


Fred & George: Well, they are cousins, but they are mates too.


Pansy: Mates?!


Harry: Yes, I told you that I have Veela blood in me, so I have a mate and that is Regulus.


Neville: So, what was in the letter? I didn't see it.


Pansy: Yes, and you really were fast to write an answer.


Luna: Wait! Did he really ask you out?


Blaise: By a letter?


Pansy: Shut it Blaise! They won't see each other till Christmas holiday or till Summer. Do you think they could wait to know if they are really dating?


Blaise: Uh, no.


Pansy: And, Regulus having to hide with Harry here with a lot of girls. If he doesn't know that he is his boyfriend for real, Harry could go with another.


Harry: Well, that's true, but I really love him, I wouldn't go with another.


Luna: Oh, that's sweet.


Draco: So, did he really ask you out.


Harry: Yes, and I answered him with a yes. So, I think that we are dating know.


Fred & George: Seriously? We were only joking, but it's true?


Harry: Yes.
