Chapter 10
Cassie made her way to the window, pushing aside the curtian. Darkness had
already set over the village and the window was starting to fog up. "It's
getting really cold in here." She walked over to a stack of blankets,
picking one up and draping it over her shoulders.
"Should we start a fire in the fire place?" Harry looked to the fireplace
then to everyone around. They all nodded and Cassie looked green.
"As long as it stays in the fireplace, I'm fine." Cassie watched as they
started the fire, she slowly backed away. "I'm getting hungry. I;m going to
the kitchen." Cassie turned but Oliver grabbed her arm.
"Don't go alone. We'll all head in." Oliver looked around and they all
nodded seemingly all of a sudden hungry. Percy, George, Ron, Hermione Harry
and Penelope stayed with Fred and Draco and his goons sat over in a corner
talking quietly to eachother. aparently when they pulled their clown
charade they got food so they sat in the back and ate.
********* in the kitchen ****
Cedric flipped on the switch and blinked to the adjusting of the light. The
kitchen was dust but the fridge was well stocked. They figured it was a for
of magic. They pulled out a few pizzas and warmed them in the oven.
"It's starting to get late. But I'm not sleeping in this house." susan
muttered.
"Well, you don't have a choice. We'll be fine in the room as long as we sit
together. I mean, the clown was just malfoy so nothing bad would happen."
Cedric shrugged.
Cassie shuddered at the word clown. "Now, what about the spiders? they
werent anything fake!"
Cedric started to talk but a scream from the living room made them all run
back in. Oliver carried a pizza. When they entered Crabbe lay on the ground
pale as anything, a snake slowly slithered away from his body and seemed to
vaporize. Draco stood over him, a frightened look on his face. "it bit him!
I swear it did!"
They all looked at him. "Is this another one of your tricks?" Oliver
demanded.
"No, the snake really bit him! he's terrified of Snakes!" Goyle finally
spoke for the first time in his whole life.
"It did, I saw it." Percy stood, straightening his badge.
"But, where did it go?" Cassie slowly walked over to Crabbe. She knelt by
him and felt for a pulse. "I.."
"Is he?" Draco looked around. "He can't be.."
"I...Can't tell." cassie backed away into Oliver.
Percy walked to the body and knelt. Fred sat up again, dried blood was on
his chin and formed coming out of his mouth. "I think he might be."
Hermione nodded. "HE was bit by the deadly Python of Jules. He can very
well be dead, or close to it."
They all stood and looked down at the pale and bluing form of Crabbe.
