Chapter 4: Escape
Natahlia moved swiftly, leaving no evidence she had been out of bed after curfew, she moved quickly and silently, like a shadow itself. She moved, not stopping until she had reached a portrait of a fat lady.
"Ahem, excuse me" Natahlia said, she kept her hood of her cloak covering her face, the portrait gave a grunt and awoke with a jump.
"Yes?" It asked.
"Um....I'm a new student and I have not got the password, I cannot get inside the common room" Natahlia said, the fat lady smiled,
"I cannot give anyone the password but since you are new and seem an innocent Gryffindor-" 'GRYFFINDOR?-' Natahlia thought, she was outraged about this, but she kept it well hidden.
-"I will give you a clue" The Fat Lady continued,"Even if it looks the same, they should not be used or confused with the real thing-"
"Liquorice Wands" Natahlia said at once.
"Bingo!" Said the Fat Lady, and the portrait swung open, revealing the Gryffindor Common Room. It was nothing at all like the Slytherin Common Room. It was warm and covered with the Gryffindor colours of Red, Gold and Yellow.Natahlia looked around, this room was so warm and inviting, why wasn't the Slytherin Common room the same?
She then snapped out of the small trance, concentrating on why she was here, she moved silently up the stairs that lead to the boys dorms. She had to check each dorm, looking for Harry, she finally found his dorm.Natahlia moved over to Harry's four poster bed and looked at him, he was asleep. She pulled out her wand and-
"Wha-wha's goin' on?" A voice called across the room, it was obviously a boy from the dorm that had just woken up, suddenly a light came on, Natahlia hissed, she looked round, she had a very little ammount of time to get out before the boy realized who she was.
"Accio Firebolt" She said softly as she used her wand, then she turned, jumping out the window and landing on her firebolt.
She landed on the ground with a soft thud and ran into the castle, everyone in the castle would soon be awake, she had to get back to the Slytherin Common room.
