Carter's P.O.V.
I woke up feeling refreshed and great until I remembered Hermione's little talk yesterday. I frowned at the memory while timidly walked down the stairs to the Gryffindor common room.What if she suspects me being a host of a god and an Egyptian magician? I thought as I found Hermione scribbling with her quill on a piece of parchment. Weird, isn't it a little bit too early in the morning to do homework? I tried to ignore her but she seemed to notice me.
"Good morning, Carter." she said not bothering to look up from her work.
"Uh...Yeah good morning to you too." I said my palms started to get sweaty so I wiped them against my robe. I went out the Fat Lady Portrait and was greeted by a little friend. I stared down at my feet . It was Bast in Muffin form. So, I picked her up and stroked her back while she purred.
"Found me, huh?" I whispered to Bast's ear. She just gave me a meow then nodded. Best return her to Sadie. I carried Bast along the way to the Slytherin dungeons but it turned out to be a dead-end. I frowned at the crumbling brick wall in front of me. Bast was pawing her way out of my arms and jumped out.
"Now what?" I stared at Bast who was busily scratching the wall. I sighed she was probably sharpening her claws instinctively.
"Well, I guess I should try knocking on it, worth the try." I knocked on the wall with my knuckles. It sounded and felt like mahogany wood instead of hard rock. I took a step back then waited for something to happen. Suddenly, the wall started to rumble and open up. There, stood an annoyed looking Malfoy in sleeping robes. His hair was sticking up in different directions and some dried drool on his chin. I bit my lip to keep myself from laughing.
"What do you want?" he rubbed his eyes first then examined me. "You are not Slytherin." he said pointing to the Gryffindor crest on my black robe. I composed myself instantly.
"I know but-" he cut me off before I could finish. " Go away! Stop disturbing us Slytherins at this early hour." he said raising his voice.
"Well, atleast tell Sadie I found her cat." I reached down to get Bast and hand her to Malfoy but Bast kept squirming and hissing at him.
"Just calm down, Muffin!" I let her go as she landed on her feet and casually went inside the Slytherin common room.
"Muffin? That name sounds childish for a cat." he snickered
"Well, Sadie named her when she was 5." I shrugged "And you got some dried drool on your chin by the way." Malfoy quickly wiped his chin with his sleeve then gave me a glare.
I went to the Great Hall to eat breakfast with Ron. I was eating scrambled eggs while Ron was devouring anything that is edible: sunny-side up eggs, bacon, pancakes with maple syrup and a whole lot more. Everything was fine actually nothing unusual until I heard a screeching noise in the Great Hall.
"Must be Pansy, only she can screech like that." Ron said while chewing bacon. Almost everyone in the Great Hall turned their heads to the entrance.
"Ahhh!" Pansy looked like she had gone in a fight with a Set monster. Her hair was ruffled up in all directions, her robes were off her shoulders and torned, her hands were full of grime and – blood?
"Yup, I'm right." he nodded and continued to eat more bacon ignoring Pansy's melodramatic entrance.
"Th-th-there's a-a-a m-monster r-rampaging thr-thro-through sch-school! She stuttered while gasping for her breath. That made Ron drop the bacon he was about to eat. His jaw dropped and his eyes were wide open in horror. Dumbledore stood up from his chair.
"And what is this monster you are speaking of, Miss Parkinson?" his voice echoed the whole hall. "I-I don't know! I've never seen this kind of creature before." her hands were trembling with fear.
"And where did you last saw this creature?" I was taken back on how he handed the situation calmly.
"Near the the shore of the lake!" Dumbledore stood there for awhile contemplating on what to do next. After a moment of contemplating he finally spoke.
"All of the professors will come with me. Prefects will escort the students back to their dorms." He hurriedly went out the Great Hall with the professors trailing behind him. Everyone in the Great Hall started to chatter with scared and nervous tones. I started to panic with sweat beads forming on my forehead. Sadie too, was sweating with a look of terror on her face. She mouthed uh-oh. I knew by then what she meant by uh-oh and that meant we are in trouble.
"Alright then, Gryffindor to the common room! All Gryffindors to the common room." Percy, the Gryffindor prefect announced loudly. All of us stood up in obedience and followed him.
A/N: So practically this is a filler and a very short chapter. I promise you I'll make it longer the next chapter! :)
