Goodbye Hogwarts
A/N the characters are J.K.Rowling's except the ones I made up
Chapter 1: The Basilisk
Hermione was running as fast as she could towards the Gryffindor common room with a piece of parchment in her hand. She turned a corner when she collided with someone. ' Oh, sorry, ' said Hermione to Penelope a Ravenclaw girl.
' It's OK, what were you running for?' asked Penelope
'I've been doing some investigating about the Slytherin monster, this creature fits the description,' said Hermione handing Penelope the piece of parchment. As she read, her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
'But-but-but what if we see the Basilisk?'
'I've already thought about that. I've got a mirror in my bag we can use it to look around corners!'
Hermione got the mirror out her bag and they set off. When they turned a corner about 3 floors under the Gryffindor common room Hermione saw a swish of a green, scaly tail. She pressed herself flat against the wall and Penelope copied.
'Did you see it?' asked Penelope
'Yeah, it's tail,' answered Hermione.
After 10 minutes they set off again. They reached a staircase. Hermione climbed it towards the Gryffindor common room whilst Penelope ran straight on towards the Ravenclaw common. 5 minutes later Hermione was telling Harry and Ron all about what had just happened. Ron and Harry's reactions were much like Penelope's.
'What if we see it?' asked Harry
'How do you know the Slytherin monster is a Basilisk, your not sure are you?' asked Ron.
'Well all the evidence we have is pointing that way' said Hermione
'I'm going to go tell professor McGonagall' said Harry.
'No I'll go' said Ron 'you can't go Harry because some people expect you to be the heir of Slytherin and if you stumble across another body well. and Hermione can't go because she's a muggle-born and that's what the monster is after,' and he left the common room.

10 minutes later he came back with professor McGonagall.
'Mr. Weasly tells me you know what the Slytherin monster is Miss Granger?' said professor McGonagall
'Yes,' said Hermione handing professor McGonagall the piece of parchment. 'Hmmm,' muttered professor McGonagall. Hermione stared eagerly to see what her reaction would be.
'Could I take this to the headmaster please Miss Granger,' asked professor McGonagall.
'Err. yeah, sure,' replied Hermione. At those words professor McGonagall walked at a quick pace towards the portrait hole.
'So that's that done. Now all we can do is wait,' said Harry.
That night Harry lay awake staring at the ceiling.
'I can't just let all those poor muggle-borns be petrified or even killed while I don't do anything,' he thought to himself. And at that he swung his legs on to the floor, got up, put on the invisibility cloak and left the dormitory.
Two hours later Harry was making his way back to the dormitory when he heard a voice 'Blood, I smell blood, I can hear it pumping through veins, it needs to come out, IT NEEDS ME!' At that Harry ran as fast as he could towards where the voice was coming from. After about two minutes of running he saw it. A long, green, scaly snout then came the eyes, the green, bulging eyes. The last thing he would ever see. And then it all went black.
A/N so, how do you like my story I want at least 5 reviews before I write another chapter.
