Chapter 27: A Diary (1/2)
”Are you the heir of Slytherin?” Ron said to the tied, almost unconscious Malfoy.
”No.” Malfoy replied.
”Do you know who is the heir of Slytherin?” Harry asked.
”No.” Malfoy repeated.
”Are you Draco Malfoy?” Hermione asked, to cross check, if the truth serum was working or not.
”Yes.” admitted Malfoy.
”Did someone told you about the chamber of secrets?” Chris said.
”Yes.”
”Anyone from the school?”
”No.”
”Then your father?” Ron asked.
”Yes.”
”Do your father know, who the heir is?” Chris asked.
”Yes.”
”Good.” Hermione sighed. ”We're going nowhere. He doesn't know anything, except the things his father told him.”
”Wait. Didn't you said Harry, that Dobby works in a horrible pure-blood family?” Chris said to Harry.
Harry nodded. Chris turned to Malfoy.
”Malfoy, do you have a house-elf named Dobby?”
”Yes.” Malfoy said.

Few days later, after the new term started, Chris were in charms class, where Professor Flitwik was giving examples of jinxed artifacts.
”Because there is a spell to break locks easily, Wizards uses different kind of Jinxes to protect their locks.” said Professor Flitwik. ”Jinxing is a different and difficult method of magic but even a smallest object can be jinxed. Different Jinxed objects have different kind of results. Few powerful Jinxes can live in a objects for hundred of years. That's why young wizards and witches are asked to not to trust any unknown object so easily.”
As Professor Flitwik continued, Chris noticed Ginny, who was sitting two seats left to her, was sweating like she was sick.
As soon as the class ended, Ginny sprinted out of the class and Chris followed. Something was really wrong with her, Chris thought, she must be sick and she should check on her.
But Chris stopped when she saw Ginny running into the passageway where the attack on Mrs. Norris happened. Chris watched from a corner as Ginny entered Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Chris decided to go in but before she could, Ginny ran out of the bathroom and disappeared around the corner, without noticing Chris.
A loud crying and shrieking sound interrupted the corridor. Myrtle was crying very loudly in her bathroom. Chris rushed inside the bathroom and saw Myrtle was trying open all the taps.
”Myrtle! What happened?” Chris shouted over her crying sound.
”Who's that?” glugged Myrtle miserably, without stopping. ”Come to throw something else at me?”
”Myrtle! It's Chris.” Chris said. ”And stop, you're going to flood the place.”
