A/N: Here's another chapter. Enjoy:))
Chapter 93: Attack
The corridor looked dim lighted and the dark stone seemed cold, but I could see well, and didn't feel anything under my feet. Or rather skin, because I didn't have any legs. As I reached the big, heavy door, I noticed it, along with a lot of others behind opened before me. I slithered through the lanes between the shelves, and then found him.
The man, rather short, with a balding head of ginger hair was patrolling, his wand tip illuminating his way. As I got closer, he suddenly turned and looked down at me in horror. I felt my heart starting to beat faster in hostility and adrenaline rushing through my long body. I had a job here bite.attack.kill
I opened my mouth wide and lunged forward. The blood started flowing as soon as sharp teeth pierced the skin. I struck again, the face this time; ,arm...leg...stomach. The man was trembling in pain on the floor. Good...no one can find him here, he'll die soon from the venom. Off to the hq then.
I lunged forward and everything went black.
A splitting pain spread through my head and I heard a scream.
"Selene!" A couple of hands started shaking me hard.
"My head...and arm...what- Mione? "
"Are you ok? What happened? You started convulsing again. And fell on your head. More like jumped and landed on your head." I sat and saw I was still on my bed, but there was deep crack in the wood at the head of the bed. I must've hit it really hard.
"Wait, on my head? Then why is my arm- oh, no, Harry!"
I jumped out of the bed and fell on my butt because of the dizziness. I got up and before any of the scared girls in the room could say another word, I rushed out the door. In a few moments I was looking down at Harry, laying next to his bed, covered in sweat, with a confused and scared Ron next to him.
"You saw that too?"
"Why was I-"
"It wasn't you Harry, it was...I don't have time to explain. Ron, go get professor McGonagall please. We have to go to Dumbledore." As soon as Ron got out, Hermione entered and looked at us.
"What on earth happened? And why does Harry look like he had the same experience as you? "
"Because that's exactly what's happening. Let's go to the headmaster. We'll explain there."
Minnie and Ron helped Harry up and Mione me.
"I think we have to take the other Weasleys as well." Soon, Ginny, Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, Harry and I were sitting on chairs in Dumbledore's office, in front of him and Minnie.
"Now, please calmly explain me what happened."
Harry looked at me frightened. He thought he was the attacker. It was a horrible experience, but a man was on the verge of death after all. I turned to the teachers.
"Nagini attacked Mr Weasleys. He was patrolling...somewhere. Someone has to get him out of there. He's in a really bad state. And the damn snake's fangs are filled with venom. "
Eyes wide, Dumbledore turned to one of the portraits and told him to go get help.
"What happened to dad!?!?"
"Gin, look, apparently he was patrolling and Voldemort's snake somehow got there and attacked him."
"How do you..."
"...know that?" Fred was held in a hug by Hermione, who had tears running down her face.
"H-Horcrux" the strangled word got out of my throat only half recognizable. I started crying as well. I never got in his mind before. It was a really dark place; terrible and cold.
"What is happening to us? Why did we see that?" Dumbledore ignored my brother's question, with a bit of hesitation though, and went to the fireplace.
Harry was fixing Dumbledore with a stare and I saw something familiar in his eyes: anger. It wasn't the kind of anger when you punch a wall and it goes away, no, it was blood thirst anger, when you wanted to attack the person who wronged you, to rip their head off, to hear the sound of their bones cracking. I put a hand on his arm and he looked at me.
"I'll talk to him, please calm down, it's ok. I know you're scared and angry, but attacking someone won't solve anything." He put his arms around me and buried his head in my shoulder.
Sev entered the room. I looked between him and Dumbledore and realised what was happening.
"No, no, this won't happen. It will be worse. You can't protect your mind if it's even weaker than before."
"Why would I do that?" Sev asked, though he knew the answer even better than I did.
"Because you unreasonably and wrongly hate him, and we all know that. "
"But Selene, he has to-"
"No Dumbledore, at least wait until after the Christmas break."
"Fine, but no longer than that."
I could tell that almost everyone in the room was confused, but I didn't have time to explain Occlumency to them now.
Soon, we were in the kitchen of Nr 12, Grimmauld Place, eating porridge with Sirius. Most of us had more or less puffy eyes, but Ginny was the saddest of all of us. She was the youngest, and wasn't expecting something like this to happen at all. Mrs Weasley dropped by to see us, but didn't let us go to the hospital with her.
"You have to stay here, until he feels better. Then you can go visit him."
After she left, I sat with Harry on the couch in the living room. He looked really sad and confused and...guilty.
"Harry, do you think it's your fault?"
"I was the one to attack, I wasn't watching from outside, I was the snake. Of course it is my fault."
"No it's not. The two of us have a connection with Voldemort, with his head. He was the one in the snake. In its mind. We were just somehow forced into his mind. It's not your fault, so don't feel guilty. To fix the problem of us seeing whatever Voldy sees, Dumbledore wants us to take Occlumency lessons from Sev. That way we'll learn to protect our mind. He won't be able to get into our minds. I thought mine was protected, but it obviously isn't. So we'll both take lessons, you won't be alone."
"That's good. The last thing I want is for Snape to wander though my head freely
