Ginny's Abduction

Just as Harry and Ron are about to report their findings, Professor McGonagall announces that another student has been taken into the Chamber of Secrets: Ginny Weasley. The Heir of Slytherin has left a new message: 'Her skeleton will lie in the Chamber forever.' The school is thrown into panic, and the teachers decide to send all students home the next day. Harry and Ron are devastated, knowing that Ginny's life is at stake. They decide to take matters into their own hands and confront Gilderoy Lockhart, who they believe is the only teacher who might know how to find the Chamber. The abduction raises the stakes to their highest point, forcing Harry to act.
