Chapter 7

Veneficus
had wound himself around Harry�s arm when they left for the train. Draco and Harry were looking forward to the
new school year, to seeing what was in store.
Their first year had been eventful so why not their second one? Upon passing through the barrier they quickly
boarded the train, were almost late.
With a sigh of relief they plopped down in their seats.

�That
was close.� Draco said with a sigh.

Harry
nodded and gently rubbed Veneficus� head.
The snake hissed in pleasure, �Hey, Drac, what was up with that elf,
Dobby, telling me not to come?�

�Probably
thinks it knows something and is doing you a favor.� He said with a shrug.

Harry
rolled his eyes, �It should mind his own business then, shouldn�t it?�

Draco
chuckled, �I wonder how classes will be this year.�

�Who
knows? We�ll have to wait and see.� He
chewed on his lip for a moment, �Drac, can I ask you something?�

He
cocked his head to the side, �Go ahead.�

�You
haven�t told me about wizard marriages or about what they think of�umm�gays.�
Harry said a bit nervously.

Draco
laughed softly, �Well, you�ve never asked until now. Ok, I�ll tell you. I�ll start with the second part first. Gays aren�t shunned, in fact it�s
accepted. Marriages can be with anyone,
the old families sometimes choose who�s going to marry who. I don�t know who I�m supposed to marry, my
parents won�t tell me. Hopefully I have
a choice.� He smiled, then whispered, �To tell you the
truth I kind of like guys better.�

Harry
sighed in relief, �Me too.� He said, blushing lightly.

Draco
smiled, �No wonder we get along so well.� He said, causing Harry to laugh.

The
rest of the train ride was uneventful; they just talked about random things,
Veneficus interjected every now and then with a random comment to Harry. Finally they arrived. What appeared to be carriages without horses
were waiting for them. Harry scowled but
didn�t question it, climbing into one of them with Draco. The Sorting Hat had a new song that year,
apparently it had one every year. The
new Weasley was sorted into Gryffindor, no one was surprised. That�s where all Weasleys went just like
Slytherin is where all Malfoys went.
Harry was happy he wouldn�t have to put up with them, at least not that
much. Of course having classes with the
Gryffindors meant he couldn�t always avoid them but at least he only had to
deal with one during class. Their first
class with Lockhart was a complete joke.
The quiz that he had given him was laughable. Between questions like: �What is Gilderoy
Lockhart�s favorite color?� and Ron throwing pieces of parchment at the back of
his head, he was sick of the day already.
Happily potions were later that afternoon and Harry looked forward to
sitting through a class where the Gryffindors would lose points. Of course the Howler that morning had been
superb. Ron�s mother was suitably upset
about an incident that happened earlier.
Apparently Ron had taken the car and flown it into the womping willow.
Draco and Harry had enjoyed teasing him about it and more then likely
would continue to as long as they got a rise out of him. Then there was Colin Creevey who wouldn�t
stop hounding Harry, wanting to take pictures.

�Harry,
can I have a picture?� Creevey asked for the hundredth time that day.

Harry
whirled on him, robe flying, Veneficus wasn�t happy about the sudden turn
either and clenched around his arm. No
one had said anything about the black snake, �Creevey, little Gryffindor.�
Harry sneered, his voice almost pleasant, �I suggest you run along before
something happens�� He said softly so only Colin could hear.

The
boy�s eyes grew wide and he ran off crying.
Harry chuckled softly and Draco looked over at him, �Think you made your
point?� Draco asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

�I�m
not sure. He�s stupid enough to come
back for more.� Harry said with a shrug, �So, what are we going to do now?�

<Look.> Veneficus hissed, <There�s something on that board.>

Harry
looked over, �Hey, Drac, there�s a Dueling Club.�

�Think
we should join, show them their weakness?� Draco asked with a malicious grin.

�I
think we should. Let�s just hope that
Lockhart isn�t the one running it.�

Draco
nodded, �Exactly.� He said as they signed up for it.

Over
the next few days something happened.
Filch�s cat, Mrs. Norris, was found hanging, petrified. Harry and Draco had gotten there after Ron
and Hermione had found it. Apparently
they were at some ghost party and on their way back found the cat. Above the cat was written:

THE CHAMBER OF
SECRETS HAS BEEN

OPENED. ENEMIES OF THE HEIR, BEWARE

The
two Slytherin looked at the cat with wicked grins and it was Draco who spoke,
�Enemies of the Heir, beware! You�ll be next, Mudbloods!�

Harry
laughed, �Watch yourself Granger.� He purred.

Dumbledore
took Ron and Hermione to Lockhart�s office since he had volunteered. Harry and Draco chuckled to themselves, �That
had to be the best way to get them into trouble; we didn�t have to do
anything.� Draco laughed as they made their way back to their common room.

�Too easy, not enough of a challenge.� He paused, hearing
something hissing, �Hey, Draco, there�s a snake somewhere.�

�Yeah,
he�s around you arm.� He teased.

�No, not him, someone else.� He growled, then
sighed, �Saying something about blood and killing.� Draco shrugged, �Drac, what
do you know about the Chamber of Secrets?�

Draco
smiled, �Father told me that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened once
before. It gets rid of all the Mudbloods
who don�t belong here.�

Harry
smiled, �Good. They shouldn�t be here
anyway.�

Draco
chuckled, �Sounds like I�m rubbing off on you.� He said as they walked.

Harry
blinked as they rounded a corner, �Well, looks like the chamber claimed another
victim.� He said morosely, looking down at the petrified body of Colin Creevey,
�Think we should tell someone?�

�Yeah,
although it would be more fun to see someone else find him.� He replied, �Let�s
go tell Snape.�

The
two of them continued down to the dungeons to find Snape. They found him in his office, �Professor?�
Draco said, knocking on the door.

�What
is it Mr. Malfoy?� He replied, looking up from his parchment.

�Harry
and I found someone in the hall.� He said with a half smile.

He
scowled, �What?�

�We�ll
show you.� Harry said quickly.

Harry
and Draco showed him to the body of Creevey.
Snape raised an eyebrow, �Return to your rooms, I�ll deal with this.� He
stated calmly.

Harry
and Draco nodded before going to their room.
The Dueling Club started the following evening and the two snakes were
looking forward to it. They fell into an
excited sleep, forgetting about Creevey, and Filch�s cat. Finally it was time and they made their way
into the Great Hall to wait. Ron,
Hermione, and various others were there as well, obviously wanting to find some
kind protection against what had been attacking students. A collective groan escaped them when Lockhart
walked in followed by Snape.

Lockhart
began speaking, calling Snape his assistant.
Harry snorted at that, �As if Snape would be that idiot�s assistant.�

When
they took their positions Lockhart counted to three. Each waved their wand and Snape shouted, �Expelliarmus!� With a blast of scarlet light Lockhart was
thrown back into the wall.

Harry,
Draco, and some of the other Slytherins clapped happily. After that they were put into pairs. Snape split up the two snakes, pairing Harry with
Ron and Draco with Hermione. They
sneered at their respective partners.
When ordered to begin casting disarming charms only they went further
then that, casting hexes as well until they were ordered to stop. Ron was rolling around on the floor having
been hit with a Tickling Charm and Hermione was on the ground, her legs having
given out on her. Draco and Harry
weren�t about to use some of the curses Lucius had taught them over the summer,
that would definitely get them into trouble.
Draco and Harry smiled as Snape undid the hexes various groups had
performed on each other.

�Perhaps
I should teach you how to block unfriendly spells.� Lockhart said, looking
around, �Longbottom and Finch-Fletchley, why don�t
the two of you come�� He wasn�t able to finish because Snape cut him off.

�Bad
idea, Longbottom causes devastation with the simplest of spells.� Snape said
calmly, �There won�t be much left of Finch-Fletchley.�
Snape looked over at Draco and Hermione, �How about Malfoy and Granger?�

Lockhart
didn�t object and began giving instructions on how to block to Hermione; in the
process he dropped his wand. Snape
whispered something in Draco�s ear and he smirked before looking over at Harry
and nodding towards the arm where Veneficus was curled, giving him a heads up
on what he was going to do. Harry
smiled, now would be a good time to reveal his secret.

�Scared Granger?� Draco drawled.

She
narrowed his eyes, �You wish!�

Lockhart
counted to three and Draco shouted, �Serpensortia!�

A
long black snake came from the end of his wand, coiling between Draco and
Hermione. She gasped and took a step
back, �Don�t move Granger.� Snape laughed.

�Allow
me!� Lockhart said enthusiastically, brandishing his wand at the snake. Instead of the reptile vanishing, it was
launched across the room. Hissing
angrily, the enraged snake went for Finch-Fletchley.

Harry
chuckled and spoke, <Stop.> He
ordered. The snake fell back into a
coil, blinking. Harry smiled, <Come here.> He ordered.

The
snake began slithering towards him when Snape made it disappear in a puff of
smoke. All the people in the room looked
at Harry in shock, all except Draco that is considering he already knew. Snape was giving him an odd look, as if what
he had done had confirmed whatever suspicions he had.

�Let�s
go Harry.� Draco said calmly, walking over to him.

Harry
shrugged, �Sounds good.� He replied and the two of them returned to their
common room.
