I forgive you: Chapter 16
Sirius' POV
After Mortem had explained Harry's first year, I knew I had failed him. I was
Azkaban, but why.
I was taken out from my thoughts when I heard Severus.
"What did I do all first year?"
Mortem looked sadly at him. "What you did in his
first class with you with a lot more dramatics and insults. You saved him
during quidditch, and that was it."
Severus looked down at Harry, who was sleeping in his
arms, and said, "I am sorry, Harry. I will do everything to make it up for
what I did to you." And lightly kissed his head.
"During summer vacation, the Dursleys had locked his
trunk in the cupboard they threw him in and gave him Dudley's second room.
The house elf of the Malfoys, Dobby, had stopped any letter from reaching
master including his letter for second year of Hogwarts.
When the elf finally showed himself, master took the letters from him and asked
him not to do it again. The noises gave master another round of beatings.
When he went to Diagon Ally, he found that Gilderoy Lockhart, that buffoon was
going to teach DADA.
While crossing the barrier in the station, Dobby had made sure that master
could not cross it. Ron was with him, so even he couldn't. The boy had a
brilliant idea to take his father's car and fly to Hogwarts. Master was forced
to agree.
When near the school, the fuel tank was empty. They crashed into the Whomping
Willow. Severus wanted them gone, but Dumbledore made sure they stayed.
Lockhart was just a pompous git. He didn't know how to defend himself, only to
obliviate and make their adventures his own.
He got a set of pixies into the class and set them free. When he tried to blast
the pixies, they stole his wand. He ran away from there. A few students were
injured. Granger stopped the pixies and put them back into the cage.
Then Lockhart came up with the idea of a dueling club. He selected Severus as
his assistant. It was a spectacle to behold. When he told about disarming charm
and asked Severus to cast it at him, they bowed to each other, walked back,
then took the dueling stance, Severus then blasted him away.
Lockhart said that he wanted to show what happened when hit with a disarming
charm and didn't block Severus. As if that fool could.
Then he called master and Severus called Draco Lucius Malfoy. Draco had
summoned a snake. When Lockhart tried to destroy it, the snake got angry and
tried to harm a student, master told the snake to stop in parseltongue without
his knowledge.
That was when people started to think that master was the Heir of Slytherin,
which he was, but didn't know.
While doing the shopping in the Ally, Weasleys were noticed by the Malfoys. The
blood feud against each other was bad enough for Lucius to start a fight with
Arthur and slip a dark artifact into Ginevra Weasley's cauldron.
Mrs. Norris got petrified first, and then slowly, muggleborns were getting
petrified. The trio thought it was Malfoy and followed him but found that he
wasn't.
Then Granger got petrified. In her hand was the answer where Slytherin's
monster was roaming, pipes. Ron and master found that the entrance to the
Chamber of Secrets was in the abandoned girl's bathroom. Lockhart found them
and wanted to take credit for it, but master disarmed him and asked him to jump
down the tunnel first. When they reached the end, they saw the shredded skin of
a very large snake. Lockhart tried to obliviate them using Ron's broken wand,
but it backfired, and he forgot about himself.
The cave collapsed a little, and Ron could not go with master.
When master entered the Chamber, he found Ginerva lying on the ground, with the
diary beside her. A translucent figure of Tom appeared and explained that he
was Lord Voldemort. He called out Slytherin's monster. It was a basilisk.
Fawkes arrived with the sorting hat. It was said that a true Gryffindor could
take the sword of Godric Gryffindor from the hat. Master took the sword out and
fought the basilisk but got bitten while piercing the inside of the basilisk
with the sword. Fawkes cried on the master's wound, and the phoenix tears
countered the basilisk venom. Master used the tooth and stabbed the diary.
Ginerva opened her eyes, and Tom's form disappeared.
They went back, and Ginerva met with her family again."
"How was he alive after being bitten by the basilisk
as old as Salazar Slytherin's basilisk. The venom only gets stronger."
Severus asked. He was very pale and had a firm grip on Harry.
