I look at Flich, then glance at Hermione. She points to the wall. There, I see the words "The Chamber of Secrets has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware." and right next to it was Flich's cat, Mrs. Norris. For the first time since I came to Hogwarts, I felt sorry for Flich. More footsteps approach. "Enemies of the Heir, Beware! You'll be next, mudbloods!" a voice shouts. I turn around to see Draco Malfoy, with Elena next to him, shaking her head. "Come with me, Argus," Dumbledore said. "You two, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger." he adds. Leah and John pushed their way to the front of the crowd. "Miss Lupin, you come as well." Dumbledore says to me. "Headmaster, my office is the nearest, just upstairs." Lockhart says. "Thank you, Gilderoy." says Dumbledore. We all go upstairs to Lockhart's office. "What happened?" I asked Hermione. "Harry heard a voice while we were going to the feast after Nick's deathday party. Ron and I followed him up here." she whispered back. We reach Lockhart's office and Dumbledore starts examining Mrs. Norris. Finally, he says "She's not dead, Argus.". "But then... why's she all stiff and frozen?" Filch says. "She has been Petrified." Dumbledore replies. The others continue talking and after Filch accuses Harry, I slip away from them and head back to the common room. As soon as I step through the entrance, my friends come my way along with another girl. "I'm Paige Smith, a Hufflepuff." she says with a warm smile. "I'm Eleanor Lupin." I say. Leah starts talking. "Professor McGonagall let us in, along with Micheal and Abby. Louise wasn't there, though. And so, we came in here and we saw Ginny, Louise's twin, sitting on the couch, crying. Paige ran over to her and started asking her what was wrong. After Ginny was calm, Paige asked her what was wrong one last time and she told us. And now, you should probably ask her." she says. I walk over to Ginny, where she's silently crying. I use the same calm, comforting voice that Mum uses when I cry. "Ginny, what's wrong?" I say softly. Ginny sniffles and then tells me."It's Louise. She's been kidnapped!" she cries.
