Return to the Chamber of Secrets
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction

Chapter 9
The sun was hanging lazily on the horizon when Katelynn, Mary and Olga arrived at the monolithic stone by the edge of the secret back entrance to the chamber of secrets. Katelynn pulled a long rope from Olgas bag.
"Don't know why I had to carry all the heavy stuff?" Olga protested.
"I'm the smart one, Mary's the powerful one and you're the big one." Katelynn said. "The big one is always the work horse."
"So because I'm biggest I'm the bloody pack mule?" Olga yelled.
"Yes." Katelynn said matter-of-factly. "Now help me tie this around the big rock."
The girls tied it around and tested its strength and the solidity of the large stone they'd anchored it too.
Katelynn began to lower herself below the illusion that covered the hole. She entered a stone crevasse that looked hundreds of feet deep. The blackness swallowed Katelynn Ashwolf as she struggled to lower herself. Becoming painfully aware that she was descending blind, Katelynn hung on to the rope with one hand and drew her wand with the other. "Lumos" she cast, revealing the rock walls of the chasm around her. Katelynn saw the cave bottom about sixty feet below her. The young witch held her lit wand in her teeth as she lowered herself quickly to the solid rock below.
"Help." A weak voice said from the darkness.
Katelynn pointed her wand towards the voice. Poppey Rosegarden sat against the chasm wall.
"Poppey!" Katelynn yelled running to the girls side. "You're alive!"
"Barely." The older girl said pointing to her obviously broken arm and twisted broken legs.
"Who are you talking to?" Mary Crowley asked walking over. "Holy cow! How did you survive the fall?"
"I landed on the wolf." Poppey said. "It didn't make it."
"Who are you two talking to?" Olga Bathory asked. "Poppey! Wow still alive? Guess you're tougher than we thought."
"Never mind the petty nonsense." Katelynn said. "We have to get her back to the school. She needs medical attention."
"We'll be heroes!" Mary laughed.
"You'll be expelled." A voice hissed from the darkness. Ms.Lee stepped out into the light. "When she tells them the truth you will all be expelled as liars."
"You lied to." Katelynn said.
"I retold them the story that you three told me." Ms.Lee smiled.
"I won't tell anyone, please just get me home!" Poppey promised.
"Silencia!" Ms.Lee cast silencing Poppeys voice. "Be thankful I leave you with what's left of your life."
"Ms.Lee why?" Katelynn asked rethinking her allegiances to this woman.
"We are to be the ones who discover the wonders of the Chamber of Secrets." Jasmine Lee said. "The true children of Salazar Slytherin!"
Jasmine Lee folded back upon herself and shifted into the form of a large serpent. Olga and Mary followed, wands lit, as Jasmine slithered into a small cave opening and away.
"There's some food and water in here." Katelynn said placing her bag down beside Poppey. "I have to follow them. I hope you understand. With luck we'll be done soon and I'll do what I can yo get you out of here. One way or another you'll be rescued. I promise."

By bed check the girls hadn't returned. Blossom Kowalski was beside herself with worry, pacing in the Hufflepuff common room. The clock chimed eleven PM. No student, that was not signed out with preapproved permission from a professor, parent or guardian, was to be out of bed at eleven PM.
"Right then!" Blossom said standing and straightening her head girl pin. "If you're going to so BLATANTLY flount the rules, Katelynn Ashwolf, then you will be shown there are consequences for your disobedience. Oh yes!"
"Who are you talking to Blossom." Professor Sprout said from behind scaring the head girl who screeched with shock! "Good gracious girl! Settle yourself."
"I'm sorry Professor Sprout but you startled me." Blossom said holding her heart. "I've been giving a young Hufflepuff time to get back to the dorms before curfew."
"Who is missing?" Professor Sprout asked and raised her eyebrows.
"Katelynn Ashwolf." Blossom said. "She was not in her room at bed check."
"I see." Professor Sprout said. "Perhaps we should talk to her room mates then."
"Yes Professor." Blossom said following the Hufflepuff house matron into the girls dorm.
They stopped at dorm room HG-Five. A quick knock on the door announced their presence. Professor Sprout lead the way in as Blossom followed. The girls didn't as much as stir as they walked across the room to Katelynns bed.
"Lumos." Professor Sprout cast illuminated the young girls empty bed.
"Well it would appear you are correct Miss.Kowalski." Professor Sprout said. "I believe we have just cause to search for a clue as to her whereabouts."
Blossom began to search the bed first. Nothing hidden underneath, There was nothing under the covers. Under the pillow was a folded piece of parchment. Blossom unfolded it and started to read.
"Blossom. I'm counting on your being a stickler for the rules. If your reading this then I'm in trouble. We found the back entrance to the chamber of secrets. I know for a fact Poppey Rosegarden fell into it with the wolf. I drew a rough map on the back. Please get help.
Katelynn Ashwolf."
"Professor." Blossom said. "You should see this!"
