To the story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Both Draco and Harry were on their feet. Harry's wand was out and his eyes where darting everywhere. "*Click.* You are one of the boys who came to see Arragog four years ago. You and your friend and that monster slaughter many of our kin. I will not let either of you escape. *Click*" An idea suddenly came to Harry. "Yeah that's right. I came to ask about the basilisk." The spiders recoiled at the name. "Would you like me to call him, the basilisk? Or I could bring a snake army here. Would you like that?"
Draco didn't have a clue what Harry was talking about. He knew that Harry was a parsiltoung but had no clue what he was doing, so he decided not to say anything. "*Click.**Click.**Click.**" The spiders had all recoiled slightly. "Your bluffing," said the, what Draco assumed was the head spider. "Am I?" asked Harry slyly. "Perhaps I am, but, do you really want to take that chance?" The spider stared at Harry as thought trying to see right through him. Harry smirked. Closing his eyes Harry started to speak, "come help us. All of you, come," he said. "Potter! What in the world do you think your doing? That's English you dope brain. Use parsiltoung." "Shut up you idiot, I was about to say it in parsiltoung." Then Harry closed his eyes and a long spout of hisses issued from his mouth. The spiders took a step back. A look of, fear perhaps, it was hard for Draco to tell because of the fact that he was not use to interpreting spider facial expressions. "Better start running," said Harry. The spiders did not move immediately but even as Harry spoke hundreds of snakes where slithering on to the ground in front of them. The spiders started to back off but Harry's irritation of being disturbed by the spiders that had tried to eat him four years ago made him go a little bit past him self. He did not even have to use parsiltoung to get the message through to the snakes. "Go get'em," he said menacingly. The snakes slithered towards the spiders and the spiders scampered.
*********
Harry turned and ran in the opposite direction. He did not want to be anywhere near the spiders. Draco followed him. They ran for a long time, finally reaching a clearing that was fairly large and a good distance away from the spiders. He stopped. Draco turned, "What in bloody hell do you think your doing, Potter?" "The forfeit was to stay the night in the Forrest. We can't go back to the castle yet." "Look. It's 2 in the morning. That girl, well I think she is a girl, isn't going to know." "Yes but." "Look. you said it would be better if we stick together while we are in here. Well I'm leaving and you have to stick to me if you want to get out of here." "Arrogant of him," Harry thought. "I'm not staying in here, especially if you have past enemies. What was that all about anyway? No. Don't tell me. I don't care and I just want to get up to the castle." "Fine," snapped Harry. "I wouldn't want a wimp like you watching my back anyway." Draco glared. "Let's go then," said Harry. And he turned and walked away along the path leading away from the clearing. Draco glared a bit longer and then followed.
As Harry got back to his dormitory he collapsed on his bed without changing. "You're back a bit early," said Ron who had evidently been woken up by the noise Harry made while fixing throwing himself onto the bed. "What went wrong?" Feeling as though he might as well get dressed for bed if he would have to stay up and tell Ron the story, he pulled out his clothing for bed and started to dress.
*********
Draco didn't bother to try to be quiet getting into bed. Crabb and Goyle were too oafish and stupid to even hear him and the rest of the boys where at the other end of the room. "That was strange. What was with Potter? He sounded so evil and threatening when he was speaking to those spiders. It was like he was a different person. And what was all that about a basilisk? When did he become so, well, arrogantly powerful?" Draco's thoughts eventually slipped into dreams. He was dreaming that he was walking back through the woods to the castle and Harry had stayed, insisting that he could not break the agreement. As Draco walked a huge spider jumped out at him and took him in his pincers. Draco was screaming for Harry but he did not come. The spider was tilting his head upward and opening his mouth about to swallow him. Draco woke with a start. It was day break and there was cold sweat on his face. Shaking himself he got up and dressed. He could not go back to sleep so he decided to go down early to breakfast.
********* The next couple of days passed uneventfully until potions class on Wednesday. Harry had been making his potion without paying much attention. He had received his homework back from Snape and he had gotten a D. He was in a rage about his because he had worked very hard and thought it disserved an E. "Harry," said Hermione. He had about to pour all of his powdered ginger roots into the cauldron. Several minutes later this happened again. Then a few minutes later, "Harry," came Hermione's voice again. Harry whipped around in aggravation and consequently spilled all of the Flaming Salamander blood into his cauldron. The potion exploded. Harry had thrown him self aside to avoid being hit by the potion and upon standing again he saw Snape standing in front of him.
