Eventually, When Lockhart Spies Harry Potter

Marvolo Breathed A Sigh Of Relief When Lockhart Spied Harry, Leaving Marvolo To Harass The Boy-Who-Lived. ''He's A Bit Full Of Himself Isn't He?'' Asks Hermione. ''Yes, He Is. Every Feeble Attempt At Ingratiating Himself With Me Makes Me Want To Punch Him. But I Have Those Items You Requested.'' Says Marvolo, Handing Them To Hermione. ''Thanks.'' Says Hermione, Kissing Marvolo's Cheek. ''Is That All I Get? A Kiss On The Cheek? I Was Expecting, No I Was Hoping For Much Much More Mione.'' Says Marvolo Suggestively Wiggling His Eyebrows At Hermione Who Rolls Her Eyes At Him Before Smirking. ''Ace All Your Tests and Maybe I Indulge You.'' Says Hermione, and All Marvolo Can Think is, "Leave It To Hermione To Find A Way To Make Him Ace His Tests". As If Sensing His Thoughts Hermione Smirks Triumphantly, But Her Triumph Is Spoiled By Marvolo Pointing Out She's Weing Her Robes Inside Out.

Marvolo Was Reluctantly Attending Hogwarts Upon Learning Gilderoy Git-hart Was The New Defence Against The Dark Arts Professor, He Was Actually Planning To Complain On Behalf Of Himself and The Staff, Planning On Questioning Dumbledore Why He'd Hire Such A Self-Absorbed Ignoramus In The First Place. But That Had To Be Postponed, Because Marvolo Was Becoming Increasingly Suspicious Of The School. He Kept Hearing Parseltongue, and There Was No One In The School Besides Him Who Spoke Parseltongue As Far As He Knew. So He Waited Until Professor Snape Was Free To Express His Concerns.

Snape Was Bearing The Full Weight Of His Soulless Eyes Into Marvolo, Even Before He Spoke. ''Professor Snape, Besides Myself Are There Any Other Parselmouth's At Hogwarts?'' Asks Marvolo. ''No, Why Would There Be? Your The Only Parseltongue Here, and Your The First Parselmouth Since The Dark Lord.'' Says Snape. ''I Don't Mean Any Offense Professor Snape, But I Find That Hard To Believe. I Keep Hearing Parseltongue You see, It's In The Walls, and It's Not Exactly Comforting When You Know What It Translates To. The Person Or Entity Keeps Saying, "Come To Me Heir Of Slytherin, I Sense You In Your Lions Den".'' Says Marvolo. ''How Long Has Been Happening?'' Asks Snape. ''Since The Start Of The Year Feast, What Do You Think Could Be Doing This Professor? Should I Try To Locate The Source? You Said Yourself I'm The Only Parselmouth Enrolled Or Otherwise At Hogwarts, So I May Be The Only One Able To Locate It.'' Asks Marvolo.

''Let Me Speak To The Headmaster and Professor McGonagall First, But You Did Well Bringing This To My Attention......Ten Points To Gryffindor.'' Says Snape, Forcing The Last Part Out. ''Thank You Professor Snape, I'll Try Not To Give You Another Reason To Give Gryffindor Points Rest Assured.'' Says Marvolo Before Departing Snapes Company. As He Leaves, He Hears Parseltongue Again. ''Blood......I Want Muggle Bloood.......Come To Me Heir Of Slytherin, Come To Me......" Says The Voice. ''Where Are You?'' Marvolo Asks In Parseltongue. ''Follow My Voice, Heir Of Slytherin.......'' Came The Bloodthirsty Reply.

Marvolo Had Come To Moaning Myrtles Bathroom, Entered, and Found A Serpent Engraved On One Of The Taps. ''Bloody Hell, It's The Fabled Chamber Of Secrets.'' Says Marvolo In Realisation. Marvolo Began To Sweet, His Body Stiffened, Pupils Dilated, and Nostrils Flared. He Suddenly Felt Very Dark and Very Cold. Feeling The Need To Find More Information, He Left Quickly, Heading Straight For The Library, Hopefully Madam Pince Could Assist Him.

Marvolo Walked Into The Library and Found Madam Pince Easily Enough. ''Excuse Me Madam Pince, But I Was Hoping You Could Tell Me If You Had Any Books Dating Back To The Schools Founding? I Recently Discovered Something In The School Created By My Ancestor, Salazar Slytherin, and Would Like To Know More If At All Possible.'' Says Marvolo In A Low Whisper, So As To Avoid The Librarians Ire. ''Follow Me.'' Says The Stern and Silent Librarian As She Leads Him To Various Shelves. At Each One, She Trails Her Fingers Across Each Book, before Finding What She Was Scanning For, and Handing It To Him. By The Time Pince Had Finished, There Was A Large Stack Of Books in Marvolo's Arms. ''These Are Are All The Relevant Books Pertaining To Hogwarts, Slytherin, and Your Ancestor. Good Day.'' Says The Ever Curt Madam Pince. Taking His Load Of Books, Marvolo Seats Himself At An Empty Table, and Goes First For The History Of Hogwarts Four Founders.

Marvolo Skimmed Through The First Three Chapters, More Interested In Learning More Precise Details On Salazar Slytherin. 'Salazar Slytherin Was One Of The Four Founders Of Hogwarts, Noted For His Blood-Purist and Archaic Beliefs, Slytherin Could Speak Parseltongue and Is Arguably The Single Most Famous Parselmouth In Wizarding History.' Marvolo Read Silently. 'Legend Tells He Had A Wand With A Core Of Basilisks Horn...' Was What Marvolo Read Next. ''Basilisks Horn? And If He Had That, Then The Creature In the Chamber Must He.........Oh Hell.'' Says Marvolo A Little Too Loudly, and Naturally Pince Came Over Just To Shush Him. ''Madam Pince, Do You Have Any Books On Basilisks?'' Asks Marvolo. ''Wait Here Silently.'' Says Pince as She Leaves and Swiftly Returns Carrying A Large Worn Tome. ''This Book Houses Knowledge On Dark Creatures Such As The One You Seek, Good Day.'' Says Pince.
