The room behind the door was cozy, though still quite large. In the middle were 6 chairs around a wooden table. Behind it was a large, scarlet bed. Of course, the whole room was Gryffindor themed. Not that anyone was in their presence minded.

'Hello, mom. Hello, dad.'

'Hello Harry!' Lily hugged her son. Harry was scared for a moment, but then he relaxed.

'Oh, and hello to you too, of course!' Lily addressed her son's best friends.

'Well, I guess I will leave you alone now. Mr. Potter, I assume you'll be able to find your way here by yourself?'

'I am, professor.'

Everyone greeted Dumbledore as he walked away.

'Well, what happened in second year?' James asked his son, who was sitting in front of him.

'The summer was quite dull, nothing special happened, really. At least, I didn't get any letters from Ron and Hermoine, while they did write them. Turns out a house elf named Dobby was stealing them. He wanted to keep me from going back to Hogwarts by making me believe I didn't have any friends.

'One night, he showed up in my room while uncle Vernon had a few guests over who were really important or something. When I told Dobby he wouldn't be able to stop me, he raced downstairs and made aunt Petunia's pudding levitate over the guest's head and let it fall. I got a warning from the ministry and they made me stay in my room for the rest of the summer.'

Both Lily and James were shocked by this. How could someone just simply lock a child in their room for days? But before they could react, Harry continued.

'Then Ron and his brothers Fred and George came to rescue me in their dad's flying car. Mrs. Weasley was quite angry when we returned to their home.'

Ron gulped. One will never forget Molly Weasley's rage.

'When we were trying to get back on the train, the barrier was closed down. So we decided to take mr. Weasley's flying car, and flew it to Hogwarts. We landed in the Whomping Willow. Ron's wand broke, but that's everything.'

Meanwhile, James was glowing with pride, and Lily was shaking her head.

'We got off with detention and a warning. Ron had to clean the trophies in the trophy room and I had to help professor Lockhart with answering his fan mail. Professor Lockhart was our DADA teacher last year. He was a really bad teacher and so full of himself, it was disgusting. All his lessons where about him and his so-called "adventures".'

'So-called?' Lily asked.

'Well, yes, turned out other people where skilled enough to actually have those adventures. He only asked the people about those and obliviated them. He wrote books about himself having the adventures, so he was a fraud. Anyways, at Hallowe'en we were attending Nearly Headless Nick's deathday party. It was really weird. But on our way back, we saw a writing on a wall. It said:

THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPENED.
ENEMIES OF THE HEIR, BEWARE

'Underneath it hang a petrified Mrs. Norris. Lockhart was all about how - if he'd been there - he could've stopped the murderer, while she was petrified.

'At our next Quidditch match, someone enchanted one of the bludgers, so it followed me constantly. It made me break my arm. Lockhart was, of course, wanting to mend it. No matter what I said, he just tried. He ended up making my bones disappear. I had to go to madam Pomfrey, who made it grow back with Skelegro.'

James had a nasty look on his face, remembering the taste, as he had to have it once as well. He decided to say nothing, as he knew Harry would be quite annoyed if he disturbed him.

'That night Dobby showed up again. He came to say that it was him who enchanted the bludger, that it was him who closed the barrier to the platform. He came to warn me again that I had too return home. Which I didn't. Then, Dumbledore came in with McGonagall. They were carrying a petrified student. Dumbledore said the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Due to these events, a duelling club was founded by Lockhart. His ego told him that he'd be the best of all teachers.On the first meeting, I had to demonstrate duelling against Malfoy. Malfoy did something with making a snake appear. It was gliding to one of the other students, and I told it to back off. It didn't listen, it kept gliding towards the student. Later, Hermoine told me that I was talking Parseltongue.'

James and Lily were shocked by this. 'A Parselmouth, our son?! I didn't know that was in our family?'

'Dad,' Harry said impatiently. 'Dumbledore told me later it was because Voldemort attacked me that one night. But, anyways, everyone was suspecting that I opened the chamber, and that I was Slytherin's Heir. And no dad, we aren't.' Harry said at his father's horrified look. 'Then, Hermione got petrified. She had been doing research about what monster could've been attacking the students. She figured out that it was a basilisk.'

Lily looked impressed at Hermoine, who looked, in her turn, very proud.

'At last, Ginny, Ron's sister, was taken into the chamber. Lockhart, Ron and I got into the chamber by using an abandoned bathroom. Lockhart revealed that he was a fraud and wanted to obliviate us. He uses Ron's broken wand, and it backfired, so he obliviated himself. His charm was so powerful it's not to be fixed. Then a part of the ceiling collapses and I got separated from Ron and Lockhart. I have to go to the Chamber all alone. Ginny was laying on the floor, barely alive. Then, a memory appeared. It was a certain boy named Tom Riddle. He was Slytherin's Heir who had possessed Ginny through a dairy in which he had put the memory of himself. He then told me that he was actually Voldemort. His full name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. You could somehow mix the letters in a way that it spelled 'I am Lord Voldemort'. Don't ask me how he came up with it, because I don't know. Then he set the basilisk on me, and I managed to kill it. Somehow. I had help of Fawkes the Phoenix, who's Dumbledore's, and carried the Sorting Hat with him. I pulled the Sword of Gryffindor out of the hat and killed it. It may sound easy now, but believe me, it wasn't. Especially because my wand was laying on the ground. Fawkes cried and healed my wounds. I stabbed the dairy with one of the basilisk's teeth. I don't know why, it was purely impulsive, but it saved Ginny's and my own life. It made Riddle grow weaker and Ginny grow stronger. We got out of the chamber and...'

Harry's throat hurt, so much that he couldn't speak on. James made a glass of water appear with his wand. Harry thankfully drank some. Ron continued the story.

'We got out of the chamber by Phoenix. That bird flew us out of that room. Lockhart was completely confused as he didn't know who he was at all.' Ron chuckled. 'Harry later was summoned to Dumbledore's office. I don't really know what exactly happened in there, but what I remember is that Malfoy's father was angry at Dumbledore, and that Dobby was their house-elf and that he was freed somehow. The cure was made and everybody happy.' Harry chuckled at Ron's end.

Lily and James both looked stunned about the story. Even more than the first year, and that was saying something.

'Well, the exams were cancelled, so I had studied so hard for nothing.' Hermoine couldn't help but add.

Ron started to argue back and Harry looked at his parents with a look on his face which was clearly saying 'Help me'.

Yay! Another update! It's late, I know, but we're moving etc. If you want to have a full explanation, go to my Instagram (granger.chase) and don't be afraid to follow me (self-promo to the max ;)). But I'm going to work on another chapter, so yay again! Bye!!! Ly!
