In this chapter... Hermione has to stay in the hospital wing to recover, so Ron and Harry bring her her homework. One evening, after visiting Hermione, they heat Moaning Myrtle, in her bathroom, even more unhappy than usual. She tells the, that somebody throw a book at her. The book turns out to be a diary – it used to belong to a T. M. Riddle – and is from 50 years ago. Nobody has written in it however. Harry decides to keep it. Ron says that a T. M. Riddle got a special award – he has a trophy in the trophy room
Professor Lockhart organises some Valentine Day entertainment, with dwarves delivering singing valentines. Harry is highly embarassed by one of them, being read out in front of all the students, especailly with Draco Malfoy too – and Ginny Weasley seems just as embarrased too.
Harry decides to write in the old diary. He’s amazed when the diary starts writing back at him, talking to him using the ink. The boy, Tom Riddle, tells Harry that he caught the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets the first time, fifty years ago. He can show Harry exactly how it happened. Harry is pulled into the diary and is taken back fifty years. He learns that Tom was a half blood – Muggle father and witch Mother – and was brought up in a orphanage. Harry sees the previous Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Dippet, and also a much younger Albus Dumbledore. Harry follows Tom into a secret passageway and is shocked beyond believe when he discovers it is Hagrid that is responsible for opening the Chamber the first time.
His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad;
His hair is as dark as a blackboard.
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.
How did people who had read “Sonnets of a Sorcerer” speak for the rest of their lives? In limericks
Chapter Fourteen: Cornelius Fudge
In this chapter... The trio find it hard to believe that Hagrid had anything to do with opening the Chamber of Secrets, the first time. They decide not to question Hagrid about it yes – after all there has been no other attacks for a while now.
After a Quidditch Practice, Harry returns to the Gryffindor dormatory to find his trunk has been ranshacked. Nothing is missing except Tom Riddle’s diary. It is the day of the Hufflepuff versus Gryffindor Quidditch match. The match is cancelled by Professor McGonagall. There has been another double attack. She takes Harry and Ron to the hospital wing.. They’re shocked to find out that Hermione has been Petrified along with another Ravenclaw girl, Penelope Clearwater.
Security is tightened at Hogwarts – no students are allowed out on their own after 6 pm., Harry and Ron sneak to Hagrid’s house, under Harry’s invisability cloak, to ask him about opening the Chamber the first time. They hide quickly when someone else knocks on the door. Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, come in, shortly followed by a gloating Lucius Malfoy. Hagrid is taken away to Azkaban as a “precaution”, and Dumbledore is asked to step down as Headmaster. Before he leaves, Hagrid gives the hidden Harry and Ron a mysterious hint, telling them to follow the spiders if they want more information. Ron is not pleased with this hint – he is absolutly terrified of spiders.
"However,” said Dumbledore, speaking very slowly and clearly, so that none of them could miss a word, “you will find that I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me. You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.”
Through what device’s reflection had Hermione seen the Basilisk? A mirror
Chapter Fifteen: Aragog
In this chapter... Security is still tight. But at least Ernie Macmillan, a Hufflepuff, approaches Harry and says he believes in Harry – he is not the Heir of Slytherin. Harry and Ron find some spiders heading towards the Forbidden Forest. Harry and Ron go into the forest, with Fang, Hagrid’s boarhound, following the spiders. To their delight, they find the Ford Anglia – Arthur’s Weasley’s car, which brought them to Hogwarts way back in September – in the forest. Suddenly they’re captured by gigantic spiders and are taken back to a nest that is filled with thousands of other spiders.
The leader of the spiders is called Aragog. He tells the boys that Hagrid raised him from a tiny egg, and Hagrid hid him in Hogwarts when he was at school. Hagrid protected Aragog when the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago. Everybody believed Aragog was the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. Aragog tells them that the beast that’s in the castle is one that spiders fear above all others, but won’t tell them what it is. Aragog also tells them, fifty years ago, a young girl was murdered in a bathroom, by the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. The spiders are about to attack Harry and Ron, but the Ford Anglia comes to their rescue, and flies them out of the Forest.
Harry wonders if the girl who was murdered is Moaning Mytle – he and Ron decide to question Mrytle.
“Good-bye, friend of Hagrid.”Who does Malfoy think would be a better headmaster than Professor Dumbledore? Professor Snape
