The Golden Trio watched as the column of sinks separated, the one with the snake-engraved tap descending down to reveal a massive pipe leading into darkness. They hesitated upon seeing the dust built up on the walls of the massive hole but eventually, they jumped down one by one (after casting Scourgify because getting their uniforms dirty was simply not an option). They wandered through the dark corridor with their wands lit up, careful not to step on any of the bones littered about, until they were met with their last obstacle. Ashley accessed Parseltongue to get through it and finally, they reached the famed Chamber of Secrets. They huddled together as they crept in between the pillars, stopping at the feet of Salazar Slytherin’s tall and proud stone statue. But with the poor lighting, the girls really couldn’t see the room quite clearly. Ashley narrowed her eyes and pointed her wand at one of the pillars, illuminating an unlit torch. She hissed in the language of the snakes and one by one, the few torches within the Chamber flared to life.
