Harry
Potter and the Telipificious Stone
Chapter 2:
In the next couple of days all you could hear in the
castle of Hogwarts was the ball this, the ball that! Harry had finally got his
dream and was going with Cho-Chang (after last years incident.) Ron was going
with Lavender and Hermione with a boy from Ravenclaw.
"SLY!!!!!!" Roared Harriet.
"WHAT…DO…YOU…THINK…YOU…ARE…DOING?" She was as red as a brick wall and
smoke pouring from her ears. "GET…OFF…NEVILLE'S…HEAD…NOW!!!" Sly's
removed his head from Neville and sulkily slithered away to the corner of the
room. "Honestly that snake drives me round the twist." Harriet turned
around and rushed to Neville. "Are you ok? Sorry about Sly he umm… has a
bit of a grudge against you sorry."
Neville wiped his face and looked at Harriet.
"It's ok. Just please keep him away!" Said
Neville who was on his knee's begging. Harriet laughed.
"Don't worry I'll make sure he eats you."
Neville looked petrified but took it as a joke as meant.
The next couple of days were pretty normal. Snape as evil,
Trelawny as loony, Mc Gonagall as strict and then Kcalb Suiris the new defence
against the dark arts teacher. Kcalb was the nicest teacher who favoured the
Gryffindor's and hated the Slytherin's. Snape's biggest rival in the school.
"Hi Hermione." Said Harry as he bent over into
the common room. "Hermione what's wrong?" She looked troubled.
"No time to explain I'll tell you later."
Without another word she fled through the portrait hole.
"Where are you going?" He called after her. But
it was no use she was already gone. Ron and Harriet came through the portrait
hole next and greeted Harry. Harry explained what had happened to Hermione but
Harriet wasn't listening. Instead she was staring at the window. She steamed
and managed two words "NOT AGAIN" before she walked over to Neville
and wrenched Sly off his head. "SLY HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?
YOU DON'T EAT NEVILLE!" Neville was laughing.
"I don't mind. It's good that he does that because it
stops me fearing snakes!" Harriet stared at Neville mouth hanging open.
"Umm.." She began "Ignore me!" she ran
off up the stairs. The rest of the days after that were normal. Except that
Hermione seemed to be working doubly hard. She also seemed very strained and as
if she were hiding a secret.
"Hermione." Asked Harriet timidly.
"WHAT?" said Hermione who sounded thoroughly
annoyed. Harriet jumped backwards.
"Err… never mind." She said hurriedly. Harriet
ran out of the library and straight into Malfoy.
"Watch out where you're going weeny." Malfoy
sneered. Harriet ignored him and walked on. "Awww. Little baby Harriet not
going to answer me?"
Harriet turned round and faced him. She muttered something
out of the corner of her mouth and white dust sprinkled out of her wand. It
landed all over Malfoy. "Hahaha very funny." Said Malfoy
sarcastically. "You've made fairy dust so ama…" Malfoy stopped
talking and instead of sneering he panicked. He was sprouting feathers and a
tail. Harriet laughed and walked off. Leaving Malfoy squawking like a parrot.
Harriet burst into the common room to tell everyone what
had happened to Malfoy. But no one was there. She looked at her watch it was
half nine. THE BALL. Harriet ran up the stairs and into her dormitory she
looked around frantically. Where was Fred? Where was Hermione? Was she going?
Had Fred gone with someone else? She opened her trunk and took out her pale
blue dress robe. She changed into it and pulled her hair out of it's pony tail,
letting it fall over her shoulders. Harriet grabbed her brush and frantically
brushed it. She left the dormitory in a hurry. She ran down the stairs and into
the hall. It was beautiful. It was better than the years before. It had snow
falling from the ceiling that was warm. It was set in an old village. The floor
was covered in snow. There was also an icy patch where professor Flitwick was
putting charms on student's shoes to make them skate on ice. Harriet looked
around for her date. She spotted him by the counter talking to Professor
Dumbledore she walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. He turned
around looking glum. He perked up as soon as he saw who it was.
"I was wondering if you were ever going to
appear!"
"I was… getting ready. I spent that whole half an
hour getting ready." Harriet said with a smile.
"And you look great as well!" Fred said
laughing. "Shall we dance?" He asked leading her onto the dance
floor. She made no reply as she was already lost in his eyes. After several
songs they moved onto the ice. Harriet was a great ice skater and so was Fred.
They twirled and whirled with the music. Harriet with graceful long movements.
Fred with graceful short movements. In no time they had a short crowd gathering
around them cheering them on. At eleven the ball had ended. Harry, Ron and
Harriet had thoroughly enjoyed themselves but Hermione hadn't even gone.
"Hermione." Harriet called up the girl's
dormitory. "Are you there?" Harriet slowly pushed their dorm door
open. Hermione was there. But she was unconscious. Harriet ran over to her.
"HELP!" Harriet shouted "HELP!" Harriet looked at Hermione.
She had blood coming out of a wound on her arm. Harriet screamed and ran out of
the dorm and into the common room. Harriet vomited. She was crying.
"Harriet what's wrong?" said Harry who had run
to her.
"Hermione…" Harriet managed nothing else for she
was vomiting again. Ron ran up the stairs and into the dorm.
"CALL DUMBLEDORE SOMEONE" Ron shouted down.
"NOW" Hermione was taken by Dumbledore to the hospital wing. Everyone
was calming Harriet who was sobbing hysterically was being calmed down by
everyone.
"She'll be ok. Dumbledore said her condition wasn't
fatal." Ron said reassuringly.
"Hermione new something!" Harriet insisted.
"Something important." Harriet had calmed down. "Harry."
She blurted. Harry turned round and faced her.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"Get the marauders map." Harry went off to get
the map. He gave it to Harriet who muttered under her breath.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Fred
looked impressed. I didn't now my date could use it! Harriet smiled weakly at
him and looked at the map. Harriet gasped. A flicker of fear spread in her
eyes. One label outside the Gryffindor common room said 'Peter Pettigrew'
before anyone said anything Dumbledore's voice eloped the school.
"The situation has.."
Darkness took over and silence. No-one spoke.
