Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets page Pages 104-160

In chapter 9 we find that time is going by quickly at Hogwarts. Harry is woken every morning to go practice quidditch for his team. The chapter then explains how the game is played and the objective, which I am familiar with because I have read the first book. At the practice field, Slytherin walks on to train their new seeker, Malfoy. There is a conflict as Gryffindor had reserved the field, but Slytherin would not leave. They then arrive to Hagrid's house. We find out that Hagrid was mysteriously expelled from Hogwarts and serves as gamekeeper. He is not allowed to use magic but shows Harry his pumpkins which he grows with magic. Towards the end of the chapter Harry hears a voice calling to him and asking to rip him. This alarms Harry, but no one else can hear it. In the next chapter, it is around October and Quidditch practice continues. He meets Filch who he finds out he is a wizard that is not truly magical. The story goes on about how Harry attends Headless Nick's 500th Deathday party. Later Harry is walking alone with his friends and hears a strange voice that leads him to blood scrawled on the wall. The wall read, "The chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware." Norris, Filch's dead cat was also hung up. Many people soon arrive at the scene. In chapter we find that Filch accuses Harry for the mess. Dumbeldore quickly whisks Harry, Hermione, and Ron off to Lockhart's office, where they discuss the events of that night. Dumbledore quickly covers for Harry and does not punish the three children. In the History of Magic class, Hermione persuades the teacher to explain the Chamber of Secrets. We learn that the 4 founders of Hogwarts wanted to teach young wizards about magic. However Salazar Slytherin didnt want any non pureblood wizards. SO he left the school after he created a Chamber of Secrets. The Chamber is claimed to have a monster that would destroy any non purebloods. Only the heir of Salazar Slytherin can control it. Harry, Ron, and Hermione believe that Malfoy is the Heir of Slytherin. They decide to make Pollyjuice potions to turn into Malfoy's friends to figure out if he is.
