Chapter 19: The Basilisk
Lily, Sophie, Petra and Remus sat morosely in the armchairs along with the rest of the House in the evening. Much as they hated Peter, they wouldn't have wanted him to be attacked by a deadly enemy.
'What I don't understand is," Sophie said slowly, "how Peter wasn't killed by the Basilisk. Don't Basilisks kill?"
"Yes, but how?" Remus asked.
Sophie shurgged. "No idea."
"We could go to the library and look," Petra said hopefully.
"Fat chance. We're not even allowed out of the common room."
"Don't you guys have an invisibility cloak or something?" Petra asked.
Sophie stood up suddenly. "Of course! I have one! Wait, I'll go and get it." Sophie dashed up the spiral stairways to the girls's dormitories. By this time, most people were dozing in their armchairs or going up to bed, so the common room was practically deserted.
Sophie came back a few minutes later. "Here you go," she said, handing it to Lily. "Get under it, and we'll go."
They crept out of the Fat Lady's painting and hurried towards the library. Opening the door a bit so they could get in, Sophie held her lamp up and they went to find books about Basilisks.
Finally Sophie found one. "Here it is!" she said triumphantly. "Look. It says, Basilisks can kill by looking someone straight in the eye. The crowing of the roosters is fatal to it, however. This means that Peter looked at the Basilisk, but not in the eye."
"Where was he found again?" Lily asked Petra.
"Near the girls bathrooms." Petra said slowly.
"So, maybe he looked at the reflection or something," Lily said.
Remus began pacing. "Petra, was there water, or a mirror?" he asked.
"There was a window," Petra said. "But how does - ?"
"Maybe he saw the basilisk through the reflection in the window," Remus said. "But the thing is, how did the Basilisk come out?"
'I wish James and the others were here," Lily said.
"Really?" said a light voice. All of them spun around. There, climbing out of the window, were James Potter, Sirius Black and Frank Longbottom.
Ok, I'm sorry this chapter was so short, but I'll make my next chapters longer. Also, I won't be able to update as much anymore ok? I'm REALLY sorry, I'll update whenever I can, but just don't flame at me too much.
