Sorry to keep ya waiting. This fic has been neglected because of my Twilight ones, but I finally decided to work on it! So here goes chapter 8! I've been getting some complaints and some misunderstandings from some people. I have no idea what Mary Sue means…but whatever if you don't like it don't read it??? To those who like it but are having problems with the dialogue…I'm fixing that….doing it right from now on. I'll try to make chapters longer. By the way, Michelle is powerful enough to use muggle technology within the grounds of Hogwarts. If anyone ever doesn't understand anything review it and tell me, I'll post it up!….Enjoy!!!
On a rainy Monday afternoon, in double potions, I sat there with my face in my right hand and a quill in my left. I was bored to the point of thinking about jumping out a window just to get out of class….The thing was…there were no windows in the fucking room! So, I just sat there sketching away.
"What are you doing?" Draco whispered after looking over and seeing my paper. "Sketching random things. I'm bored…." He looked at me like I was insane, "Yes…I know that! Why aren't you taking notes?" I laughed and pointed to my mp3 player, which also functioned as a voice recorder, hidden from Professor Snape's view. Draco rolled his eyes; he hated how I used muggle technology so much.
"…And now I want all of you to attempt to make this. It is due at the end of class; put it in a vial with a cork and put it on my desk," I caught Professor Snape, ending his lecture. "Finally!" I whispered and stopped the recording.
I got my things out and started to prepare the potion. I went by what the book said, and I ended up being the first person to finish. I bottled it, corked it, and took it up to Professor Snape's desk. I got an E for the assignment.
"You are dismissed," Professor Snape said to me after he graded my assignment. I gave a proud smile to everyone in the class as I went back to my desk to pack up my things. A Slytherin has to take pride in her good work doesn't she?
"See you back in the common room," I said to Draco, picking up my stuff and walking out of the room. I suppressed my laugh until I got out of the room, and when I closed the door I let it out very loudly.
"What's so funny?" I heard two familiar voices ask in unison. A huge smile exploded on my face, "Oh just the fact that I'm smarter than everyone, and they are jealous!" We all shared a laugh. "What are you two doing down here in your free period?"
"Well, we were, actually, trying to find a way to get you out of class," George whispered. "Ha, ha! It kinda worked, even though the two of you didn't actually have anything to do with it. I'm out of class, though!" It would, normally, not be safe for us to be hanging out together right in the middle of the hall, but I had us covered.
"How has your day been?" Fred asked as we walked up to our secret meeting spot. "Uggh! So boring! You have no idea how many times I wanted to jump out a window today!" Both Fred and George laughed at me; I didn't think it was funny, so I punched them both on their arm.
"Ow!" they said in unison. I stuck my tongue out at them, "That's what you both get for laughing!" We arrived at the room, and the doors opened as we walked in.
"You know Michelle, I am very excited about this party you are putting on before we leave for the holidays," Fred said taking a seat in his chair.
"I'm glad you like the idea. It's going to be a kick ass party! We need some fun up in this place! Uggh! I'm starting to hate the color pink!" I replied.
Fred and George laughed.
"I mean come on! There's so many other colors out there lady! My favorite color is purple, but you don't see me wearing it from head to toe every single day!" I fake gagged myself.
"Well, what I find funny is your little boyfriend is bending over and kissing her ass every chance he gets," Fred smiled.
"Well, you don't see me doing that, now do you?" I smiled back sarcastically. "I can play fake stuck up bitch, but I don't kiss ass!"
"And how did you become a Slytherin???" George laughed.
"…I…don't know…" I visually thought for theatrics.
"What I find odd is your eyes seem to get more green every time I see you," Fred said.
"Well what's even more odd is…well….I haven't mentioned this before….but…..umm…how do I say this delicately…..I think….I think I can talk to snakes…" I winced.
"You what?!?" they shouted in unison.
"Umm….yeah…" I winced again.
"Since when?!" Fred said.
"Since like….as long as I can remember?" I said reluctantly.
"What if…." George trailed off.
"I've been researching my family history, or at least attempting to. As far back is it goes is to the Salem Witch Trials; that's all I can find. It's like my family manifested from nowhere. My extremely great grandmother narrowly escaped death, from what I've figured. My extremely great grandfather did the same, Howard Chambers was his name. Today I stand here as Michelle Roberts, and I'm confused as hell!"
"Odd.." Fred said.
"Very…" George agreed.
"I've had this crazy idea to attempt to get into the Chamber of Secrets since I started putting the pieces together. Howard Chambers….Chamber of Secrets….Hogwarts…..a clue….possibly?" I said.
"Merlin's beard! You're the extremely great granddaughter of Salazar Slytherin!" Fred all but shouted.
"Shh! We don't know that yet!" I hissed.
"That would me you're related to…" George trailed off.
"Exactly…" I replied.
"Scary!" George said.
"Ya think? It wouldn't hurt being a Slytherin…but being related to that case! Uggh!" I replied.
"Try your theory out, see what happens?" Fred said.
"I might as well. What do I have to lose?" I replied.
"When are you going?" Fred asked.
"I guess I'll go tonight, but whatever I find out, I'm keeping to myself for a while." I decided.
"Okay, take time to let it sink in," George laughed.
"I'll do that! Oh shit, class has been over for like ten minutes! I've gotta go!" I said.
"Okay, bye." they said in unison.
I got up and quickly left the room. I decided not to run or anything because that would look suspicious. I just walked casually to the common room. I made sure to smile and casually waved at people who waved at me. Not suspicious at all!
I walked into the entrance of the common room, and the whole group was there, talking.
"Where have you been?" Draco asked as I walked up.
"Just wandering around, having some "me" time, thinking," I replied.
"What in the world were you thinking about?" he asked.
"Oh lots of things! Solving world hunger, saving the polar bears, saving the penguins, going green!" I smiled.
"What the hell?!" Draco replied, confused.
"Ha, ha! I love confusing you!" I laughed.
"Be serious," he eyed me.
"I was thinking about the past," I replied.
"The past?" still confused, Draco asked.
"The past," I nodded.
"Why?"
"Various reasons, maybe I'll tell you later."
Well, at least I was telling the truth. Where I come from, that definitely includes the past. Maybe I should go down there, see what I find. Nah, I'll wait until later. I'll just go to the library, see if I can find anything out there.
"I think I'm gonna go to the library," I said aloud.
"Why?" Draco asked.
"Stop asking so many damn questions! I'm out you losers! Peace!" at my peace sign I left the room and headed to the library.
As I was walking to the library I had a change of heart. I decided not to go to the library. I didn't really know what to do. The books would be useless. I could speak parseltongue, so that had to mean something! Thing is, Potter can too, but maybe that just had to something to do with his run in with Voldemort.
Would the Chamber of Secrets reveal any secrets of my origin? I had to find out, maybe something amazing would happen. I have nothing to lose. I might as well just do it. Yep, just walk into the bathroom, say the words, and go in.
"Stop being a chicken!" I whispered to myself as I hesitated to walk into the bathroom on the second floor.
"You're scared of me aren't you?" Moaning Myrtle pouted as I came into her view.
"No," I replied.
"Then why are you being a chicken?" she asked.
"Oh, no reason," I replied.
"What are you doing?"
"Something, and if you tell anyone, I will make your afterlife a living hell. Got it?" I pressed.
"Oh, okay," she stuttered.
"Well, her goes nothing," I whispered and closed my eyes.
I whispered, in parseltongue, for the entrance to open. The sinks spread apart and revealed the opening. I took a deep breath and jumped in. I slid down to the bottom and cleared out the rubble from when Potter came down here second year.
I walked down the long passage until it opened up into a large area with a statue of Salazar Slytherin, a large fountain, and a large skeleton of the basilisk. I started wondering what I should do. Maybe there was something I should say? Maybe I'm just losing my mind?
"I just want to know the truth," I whispered.
The water started to stir. Okay, I really am losing it.
"Show me the truth," I said aloud in parseltongue.
The water spread apart and revealed a stone stairway. Well, when in Rome.
I walked through the waterless path and down the stairs. The stairs ended in a small stone room with a stone table in the middle. On the table sat a very old, large key, a silver necklace with the Slytherin crest on it, and a very old piece of paper. What was odd was the fact that the paper had my name on it.
Michelle, my dearest distant granddaughter,
If you are reading this that means you've come to the age to know the truth of your origin. Yes, you are the heiress of Slytherin. After my death, one of our family members moved to the Americas. They narrowly escaped death from the suspicious muggles. For years the powerful magic stayed hidden, until you were born. Now I know that during your time we will have a relative alive, and that relative will be feared by many. He shouldn't be the one that is feared, you should. You are far greater in strength than he is, but you are different than him. You aren't power hungry.
The key you see there is a key to the vault I left you at Gringotts. I hope you enjoy all the riches I left you. I hope you like your necklace I left you, and I hope you like all the other heirlooms I left in the vault. You will do well my dear, that I have foreseen.
Love,
Your distant grandfather, Salazar Slytherin
So, it is true! That means I like own the school! Insane!!! He left almost everything to me, it seems. Oh, the Malfoys will love this! I've got to keep this to myself for a little while.
"Damn! It's cold down here!" I thought aloud.
As I walked out the chamber, I noticed my reflection in the water. My eyes were bright green, like bright sour apple martini green. I really was a Slytherin, I haven't noticed how green my eyes have gotten. People were bound to notice, especially if I wear this necklace. I really like it ,and I really want to wear it.
"Well, today has been interesting," I thought to myself as I walked back to the common room.
"You weren't in the library," Draco said as I walked into our room.
"I know," I replied.
"Where were you?" he questioned.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I said.
"You know I would," he said as he pulled me into his arms.
"Draco you can't tell anyone," I whispered.
"I always keep your secrets," he kissed my ear.
"This is where I was," I said as I pulled out the key, necklace, and letter.
Draco read the letter and his mouth flew open.
"Yeah, I know," I closed his mouth, "I'm shocked too. I'm the heiress of Slytherin."
"Oh. My. God!"
"Now bow down bitch!" I laughed.
"Yes your highness!" he laughed.
Author's Note:
