Chapter 9
The Unexpected
They reached the main corridor and kids were holding onto the walls because of the quaking ground. The gang made their way outside, looking for whatever evil was coming. When they finally got outside the ground stopped shaking.
"Where is it, anybody see anything?" Emily asked looking around the Hogwarts grounds.
Then out of the corner of her eye she saw a mound of soil rising a few feet away from Hagrid's cabin.
"There it is, everyone has a weapon right," Emily shouted.
They all nodded and Ron started whimpering. Then a huge demon shot out of the ground. It was big with razor sharp nails and fierce orange eyes.
"Oh my god, guys that's a Lasher Demon, they have razor sharp nails and a tongue like a whip. If it scratches you with its nails its poison will flow into your bloodstream," Fi told the gang.
"Oh how pleasant, I'm so glad I decided to help all of you," Ron said sarcastically.
"Hey Fi, do you know how to kill the damn thing," Emily asked.
"Yeah, you have to chop his head off," she replied.
"How lovely, I always wanted to decapitate a demon," Hermione said turning her head to the ground.
Emily took her ax and Fi took her sword, they stood next to each other and Fi said, "You ready?" Emily looked her in the eye and said
"Let's go kill us a demon."
The two girls raced to the horrible demon with their weapons ready. Harry followed, even though he didn't know how to fight demons he wanted Emily and Fi to live. Ron followed, only because he loved Fi and he didn't want to lose his best friend. Emily spun around twirling her ax, before she could hit the demon he lashed his tongue out.
She ducked and hit his leg with the ax. Fi came from behind and stabbed the demon. It turned to Fi and with his rope like tongue he took her sword and threw it. Then he grabbed Fi and threw her.
"NO!!!" Emily shouted and started swinging her ax at the demon.
The demon ran at her and he slashed her arm with his nail. Emily dropped her ax; she held her arm and fell to the ground. Harry ran to her, "Emily, speak to me," he lifted her head.
"The poison, it's taking my strength, you have to kill the demon."
He looked up and the demon was running towards him. He went to grab the ax, but it was gone. Then he heard, "AHHHH, Grrrrrr," he turned and saw the decapitated demon and holding the ax was, Hermione.
She dropped the ax and ran over to Harry. He looked at her strangely, "Good job Hermione, I never thought I'd see you do that."
Ron was walking over to them with Fi on his arm. "Emily," Fi said, "Emily get up, the demon is dead."
Then she saw the gash in her arm.
"Oh my god, Harry we have to get to the hospital wing now!!"
He picked her up and they all ran to the hospital wing.
"I'll be right back, Ron follow me," Fi said and ran toward the Gryiffindor common room.
Harry and Hermione rushed to the hospital wing. They got there and Madam Pomfrey, Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape were all there. They saw Emily's cut and Dumbledore asked, "What has happened to Miss Smith?"
Harry explained about the Lasher demon and how it cut her and its poison entered her body. He put her on a bed and Fi and Ron rushed inside with a big bag.
"We have to find out how long before she dies and what the antidote is," Fi said handing everyone a book, even the teachers.
They all looked through the books and Ron finally said something. "Hey, I think I found it," he said looking at Fi, "it says here that anyone who comes in contact with the demons poison will have four hours to live."
Harry realizes it has been almost two hours since she was cut.
"Okay, now we have to find the antidote," Hermione said.
Ron skimmed through the book and shouted, "Here it is, to cure a person from the Lasher Demon's poison you must brew together Dragon's blood for strength, a young unicorn hair for purity, and one phoenix feather for life."
He looked up and Professor Dumbledore said, "Serveus, help Miss Granger and Miss Hermsdale with this potion please, we must cure Miss Smith, our lives depend on her."
Professor Snape led the two girls to the dungeon and Madam Pomfrey cleaned up Emily's arm.
"Harry," Emily started to say, "thank you for helping us, even though you didn't do much, I'm still glad you came. And Ron, thank you as well, I know you really didn't want to come."
She smiled at both of them and then she saw Fi and Mione come back with Snape. "Alright Em, drink this and you will be cured."
Fi handed her a goblet and Emily drank the potion. She made a face and said, "Oh dear god, I think I'm going to be sick."
Then they watched her and the gash was gone and she was no longer pale. She stood up and said, "Okay, now let's see how strong I am."
She straightened up and then started to run, she leapt into the air and did a double handspring. She landed on her feet and turned to Fi, she said, "Guess what Fi, I'm back." Fi ran to her and hugged her.
