~*~

When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are up to something they get really close. They don't let anyone else in. Analise was just starting to notice this, so she began to hang out with other people as well. Neville seemed to seek out her company a lot. Maybe because she helped him without complaint or maybe he liked her, Analise wasn't sure.

Anyways, the next day was going to be the first time Analise saw a Quidditch match. Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. She watched the players zoom around on broomsticks, a feat she would never have thought possible a few months ago. She spotted Harry trying to find the snitch, when a bludger came straight towards him and continued to aim towards him. Thankfully Harry had explained this game to her a while ago or she would have been completely lost. Many people were watched with bated breath until it started to rain really hard. It was hard to pick out the players flying about. Then someone was falling out of the sky, oh it was Harry. Analise nearly sprinted to the field, but found Harry surrounded by admirers and other people. Analise couldn't get through to see how he was so she just stood back and watched Hermione and Ron help Harry to the Hospital Wing.

That evening another person was petrified and rumors of the Chamber of Secrets were flying around. Many things were happening and people were getting scared. A dueling club was started but Analise knew her skill with a wand and decided against going. Dumbledore had taken an interest in her again so they were having short meetings and on went to search to find out why no magic worked on her.

Another Quidditch match was coming up and everyone had filed down to watch but suddenly the match was cancelled and everyone sent to their dormitories. Soon all the Gryffindors learned that there had been a second attack and one of them was Hermione. For all that Analise was mad at the three for excluding her, she couldn't help being upset.

Most, if not all, of the students had not noticed the careful maneuverings of the teachers in class to keep people using magic on Analise. Dumbledore had not wanted to attract attention. So no one knew that magic didn't work on her. Everyone was scared for people who weren't pureblood and people were scared for themselves. But Analise personally didn't care, all of what was happening had to take magic and all the magic they had tried on her didn't work. They had even tried a few magical creatures but that didn't work either. She only got kind of scared when she heard that Dumbledore had been suspended and that Hagrid had been taken to Azkaban.

Because magic didn't affect her, Analise was sort of allowed to wander on her own. The teachers were almost using her as bait. One day as the teachers were shuffling around people, Analise wandered off to go get something she had left in Dumbledore's office. She was almost there when she saw a huge snake. Its yellow eyes pierced her, but nothing happened. It almost seemed to become confused. Then it started to come after her, but then suddenly it was called off, it slithered away. Analise ran around trying to find someone to tell, but the hallways were empty. The first person she eventually ran into was professor Snape. "What are you doing in the hall?" He demanded.

"I…I…saw a…a r…really b…big s…snake." Analise stuttered.

"What on earth are you blabbering about?" He demanded again.

"A big snake." Analise managed to say a little more clearly.

"Why are you bothering me with this stupid business of a snake? Do you understand how to obey rules? You should not be wandering around, go back to your common room, I'll quickly escort you." Analise meekly obeyed. She knew Snape would never listen to her. As soon as Snape left her, she tried to sneak out again. Finally when Percy wasn't looking she managed to escape. This time she headed straight for McGonagall's office. She reached it just as a very angry man burst out with a little elf like thing. He looked kind of like Malfoy. Then she saw Harry run after him, trying to put a book in a sock. Shaking her head, very confused, Analise hurried into the office. Inside was Dumbledore writing quietly at McGonagall's desk.

"Professor you won't believe what I saw." Analise burst out.

"I probably will believe you but what did you see?" Professor Dumbledore asked quietly.

"I saw this huge snake in the hallway. Did that sound as stupid as it sounded?"

"No it didn't, but you can't tell me you had a run in with a basilisk and lived to tell about it?"

"I don't know but it looked at me with big yellow eyes. It seemed to expect something to happen to me. When nothing did, it came after, but soon stopped and wandered off."

"My dear, you have just had a run in with one of the most deadly creatures we know of. A basilisk will kill someone with one look." Analise looked ready to faint. "You needn't worry about it, Harry managed to deal with it. Thanks to his loyalty to the school, and me he and Ginny are here to tell about it. But I am happy that there are many people who are loyal to me and are ready to protect."

"But I didn't do anything."

"You were willing to risk life and limb to find someone to warn. I also thank you for not flaunting your ability to be unaffected by magic. I fear that the reaction would be a panic. People would not know what to think of you."

"Thank you, I guess."

"I would give Gryffindor points for you but I fear that I do not want to explain the whole situation."

"I don't really think I deserve points, but thank you for thinking of it."

"Alright now hurry off to the feast that is starting soon."

Analise hurried away happy that the situation was taken care of and that no one had to worry. The feast was loads of fun, everyone was better. Hermione was up and about again, Hagrid had returned, Harry and Ron were getting hears treatment, there were to be no final exams, and Professor Lockhart wasn't coming back.

Later when everyone was getting ready to leave, Dumbledore and Analise finally had a conversation about what was to become of her during the summer holiday.

"We are unsure of what to do with you." Dumbledore stated, "The school is usually closed during the summer holiday. Do you have a friend you could stay with?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure of who can take me on." Analise answered.

"You could stay at the school but it would be very boring. No one will be about."

"Will check and then get back to you." Analise went in search of a person who could take her in this summer. Harry obviously couldn't take her, Hermione's family was going on a vacation, Ron had a pretty full house, but Neville was a possibility but his Grandma was kind of scary. Analise didn't want to ask anyone else because she wasn't that close to many others. She never got up the courage to ask anyone, so she asked Dumbledore if she could stay at the school.

"Of course you can stay, if that is what you want. Hagrid will be about and I will be stopping in occasionally." Dumbledore agreed.
