Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2)

by J.K. Rowling

Snape sneezed at almost exactly the moment Ron swore.

i can NOT imagine snape sneezing 😭

“I’m under a lot of pressure. Got to be seen to be doing something.

bro so ur just gonna take in an innocent man bc u don’t wanna look bad??

Mr. Lucius Malfoy strode into Hagrid’s hut,

BRUH WHAT

I have no pleasure at all in being inside your — er — d’you call this a house?” said Lucius Malfoy,

STAWPPPP AHDJW🤭

“If the governors want my removal, Lucius, I shall of course step aside —”

“No!” growled Hagrid.

i love him so damn much

You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.”

🤔🤔 is that so

“Sir, why don’t you apply for the headmaster’s job?”

“Now, now, Malfoy,” said Snape,

be mean to me

Snape smirked as he swept off around the dungeon,

“Bet you five Galleons the next one dies. Pity it wasn’t Granger —”

bro stfu. also how can ppl ship dramione when he literally wishes death upon her 😭

He held out a pudgy hand, and Harry shook it.

harry is a better man than me i would have beat his ass

Ginny sat watching them, very subdued

i wonder if ginny was aware at all what tom was making her do?

“I’d light mine, too, but you know — it’d probably blow up or something. . . .”

how did he literally go a whole school year without a wand

“That Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets,”

the fact that y’all could have even doubted him 🙄

What had he learned so far this year? He couldn’t seem to think of anything

y’all have been fighting for the right to live and they wanna give u exams 😭

with a scared look on her face that reminded Harry of someone, though he couldn’t think who.

??

Ginny, er, walked in on me the other day when I was — well, never mind —

while you were WHAT? 😳

“Prepare his class,” Ron sneered after him. “Gone to curl his hair, more like.”

😭😭

Snape gripped the back of a chair very hard and said, “How can you be sure?”

everything he does makes me sweat

Professor Flitwick burst into tears.

i love him

It was probably the worst day of Harry’s entire life.

oh just you wait

“Books can be misleading,” said Lockhart delicately. “You wrote them!” Harry shouted.

lockhart is the only reason i got through this book

Harry bellowed, “Expelliarmus!” Lockhart was blasted backward, falling over his trunk;

“Shouldn’t have let Professor Snape teach us that one,” said Harry furiously,

ATE

Harry was pleased to see that he was shaking.

sometimes i believe harry was really meant for slytherin

Ron stepped on what turned out to be a rat’s skull.

oh!!

Gilderoy Lockhart’s knees had given way.

LMAOO THIS MAN

“Ginny — don’t be dead — please don’t be dead —”

bad bitches don’t die

I think I’m the one attacking everyone, Tom!”

this is actually sad tho like how traumatizing 😭

You’re a wreck. You’re barely alive. That’s where all your power got you. You’re in hiding. You’re ugly, you’re foul —”

GET HIS ASSS

He could see the vast, bloody eye sockets, see the mouth stretching wide, wide enough to swallow him whole,

🤢🤢

You’ll be back with your dear Mudblood mother soon, Harry. . . .

lily :((

If this is dying, thought Harry, it’s not so bad.

When Dumbledore addressed him, Lockhart looked over his shoulder to see who he was talking to.

“Voldemort put a bit of himself in me?” Harry said,

ayo

Dobby is free.”

oh hell

All those times I could’ve died, and I didn’t manage it? They’ll be furious. . . .”
