Chapter 7: Mudbloods and Murmurs

The rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin intensifies during Quidditch practice. Draco Malfoy calls Hermione a "Mudblood," a derogatory term for Muggle-born witches and wizards, leading to a heated argument and fight. Ron tries to curse Malfoy but ends up cursing himself due to his broken wand. Tensions rise as the students prepare for the Quidditch match, and Harry continues to hear the mysterious voices. Later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat, petrified near a message written in blood: "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware." This ominous message sparks fear and curiosity among the students and staff.
