Draco's hand slapped him in the face again, and Malfoy was about to say something angry when Pansy ran into the living room.
- There! There! - She was screaming. - There were owls!
All of Slytherin's students, from freshman year to seventh year, looked towards Parkinson's. Their bewilderment was so strong that they thought they could feel it and slice it.
- What's wrong with that? - Bewildered by the bend of his eyebrow (almost exactly like a godfather), Draco asked.
- There's a lot of owls out there! - proclaimed Pansy. - And guess what they brought!
She rolled up her eyes with a mysterious view, but she couldn't take a second and proclaimed it.
- Seven blizzards! Seven new Nimbuses 2001, like the ones your father bought, Draco! And you know what? Harry Potter bought them so that other faculties could train and fly them in matches against Slytherin so that the Flame of Youth soared above the Hogwarts towers!
For the first time, the pale Draco rejoiced that Lucius was still in the hospital. If my father had heard such a thing, he would have been angry and had done something stupid. Slytherin's disciples talked about it in surprise, then reached for the exit, to look at what had happened with their own eyes.
So began the spread of the Youth Force in all faculties of Hogwarts.
- No, I won't lose this competition! - Draco shouted, clenching his fists.
Then he turned to Crabb, Goyle, and Pansy.
- In the name of the Power of Magic, and so did you!
31 October 1992, Hogwarts.
- That was a great dinner! - Harry proclaimed as he was coming out of the Great Hall.
- Yes, but we didn't have time last year," he sighed and immediately exclaimed. - But we did save Professor Quirrell!
- There was a man of great bravery," Gaius agreed, "to stand up against the troll alone!
- Hey, what is it? - Hermione asked, pointing forward.
However, she was not the only one who noticed something wrong, and the students stopped looking at a strange picture. Mrs. Norris was hanging on the torch stand, right under the inscription, made of blood on the wall. The words of the inscription were reflected in the shimmering puddle of torches on the floor.
- The secret room is open! Enemies of the Heir, tremble! - Someone read the inscription loudly, and the students began to whisper.
- Who is the Heir? - Harry immediately asked Hermione, because she usually knew everything.
- I don't know," Granger said, "but Mrs. Norris was his enemy, uh, very interesting. Something reminds me of that, but I don't know what it was.
She came up and touched a petrified cat.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!" Argus Filch, Hogwarts' landlord, pushed ahead. - Get your hands off Mrs. Norris! I know you did it! You're coming with me to see Principal Dumbledore!
- We are a team! - Harry proclaimed. - We'll all go together!
Director Dumbledore gently asked Hermione, who answered quietly, Argus Filch resented and poked her finger at Mrs. Norris, who was lying still on the table. The rest of the team and Ginny, who had fallen in love with them, waited, looking at the situation in Dumbledore's office.
- Hey!" suddenly came out of the closet. - Who let this girl in here? Yeah, yeah, I'm talking about you, Ginny Weasley!
- Did something happen, dear Hat? - Harry frowned as he watched the outraged Sorting Hat.
- You bet!" she exclaimed, sneezing loudly. - She threatened to wash me and wash me and then make a bunch of patches if I didn't send her to Hufflepuff!
Before she was pale, Jeannie was blushing and boiling fast. Harry looked at her and smiled, then said with a cheering tone.
- Don't be ashamed of your feelings, Jeannie, it's beautiful and young!
- Hey, keep her away from me! - The hat was murmuring.
- Don't worry, Donkey Hat," Harry worshipped, "I'll take Jeannie on the team and be responsible for all her misdeeds!
- Hufflepuff," said Hat, closing her eyes, "I'm never wrong after all.
- Harry? - Ginny asked suspiciously. - You... you're taking me on the team?
- Will you be responsible? - Ron added.
- You can't suppress the power of youth! - Gaius declared, throwing his hand up to the ceiling as if he were going to pierce it. - I doubted it, but now I see that Ginny is also burning with Youth, and therefore capable of anything! Your father certainly gave you all a piece of his flame, and that's fine!
Ron wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Professors Lockhart and Snape.
- I assure you, I know where this Chamber of Secrets is! - just exclaimed by Guilderoy as he entered the office. - Sure, it's a very powerful magic, but I can handle it!
When he saw the students, he stopped talking and pretended he wasn't saying anything. Gaius smiled at the corners of his lips, recognizing the trick, but decided not to talk about the team so that they would not lose their nerve and fighting spirit. Hermione was already in a hurry, and the students left Dumbledore's office, looking back.
- Very strong magic," Hermione shook her head in response to the silent questions of her comrades-in-arms, "but Mrs. Norris is alive.
She stopped by the gargoyle that was blocking the entrance to the Dumbledore Tower and shouted out loud.
- I swear, I will solve this riddle myself! And if I can't, I'll learn to fly on a broom and become the best Quidditch player in Hogwarts!
- This is the Flame of Youth! - Harry yelled approvingly.
