The only light remaining in the room was the eerie blue-white light lent by
the moon. Dark gray clouds covered the glowing light, shielding the room
from vision. Students could be heard moving around the room, some screamed
and some gasped. Faint whispers could be heard and a thin black shadow made
it's way through the hall. Oliver reached down on his stomach and took hold
of Amber's hand and gave it small squeeze. George tightened his grip around
Madison, but kept his gaze towards the door. Kali and Maika made their ways
over to Abby and Megan who were by the punch bowl.
"What could that be?' Maika whispered.
"Shhh . .follow me." Kali lowered her voice and motioned with her hand to move behind her.
She walked over and grabbed Rosalina by the arm and pulled her with them without a word. She didn't protest with the exception of a silent glare. Kali and Maika and the group made their way over to where Madison and Amber were. Megan leaned over to Madison and tapped her shoulder. Madison jumped at this out of surprise and whirled around placing her hand over her heart.
"Dear Myrlin! Megan, you nearly gave me a heart attack." She said between large deep breaths.
"Sorry," Megan said looking down.
The shadow moved out of eyesight and Dumbledore lifted up his wand as teachers regrouped in the room.
"Lumos!" They heard Dumbledore's voice boom through the Great Hall and a light shone through out the room from the great wizard's wand. He whispered something and the lights flashed back, lighting the room. The fire heated the large room only slightly, the wind had made it very cold. Professor McGonagall made her way up to the Head Master.
"Professor, the main doors have been forced open and students are missing." She told him very sternly.
He servaed the room and noticed that Silvia, Karen, Robin, Helen and strangely Filly were all missing from the room. He raised his hands passively to get students' attention.
"Students, the dance has been cancelled as of now. It's over, prefects, lead your houses back up to their rooms immediately. Teachers follow me." He ordered.
Hermione's face could not have gotten any sterner. The entire staff walked out of the room swiftly and to Dumbledore's office.
"Gryffindor's follow me. Keep up, no time to waste," Hermione yelled and walked out of the room. The entire lot of gryffindors barely made it through the first set of corridors when a small first year yelled.
"Look at this!" the 11-year-old pointed to the wall just below the window.
Ron squinted and walked closer to the wall. He pulled his wand from his robe pocket and pointed it towards the stones and whispered "Lumos."
The small light shone onto the large gray stones to reveal small and runny writing. The liquid was purplish-silver and ran from the words onto the floor creating a small pool of the strange substance.
"What is it?" Harry questioned Ron
Ron leaned next to the small pool and dipped two fingers in it and brought the fingers close to his face to get a closer look. Then he took a small whiff of it and jerked his head back quickly. He turned to the group and looked as if he was about to pass out.
"Unicorn blood," He answered. He pushed on his knees and stood up, rejoining the group.
"What does it say?" George asked sticking his head between two girls shoulders to get a better look.
"What's it written in seems like a better question." Fred added as he stuck his head next to George's. One of the girls happened to be Bella who saw Fred's head and gave him a small kiss on the cheek before looking back at the eerie sign.
"It's latin, it's written in latin," Abby answered, looking down at the ground.
"Latin? What does it say?" Kali asked repeating George's early question.
They looked back at it and looked over the strange Latin words:
Godric haeres iste immerens y audacia caedes est terum.
"It says 'Godric heir, your innocent and courageous blood is next.'" Came a whisper.
"What?" Ginny looked back at the voice and saw Amber.
"That's what it says 'Godric heir, your innocent and courageous blood is next.'" Amber repeated.
"Heir of Godric . . as in Godric Gryffindor?" Maika stood shocked.
"Do we know any other Godrics?" Siliva hissed from behind the group.
"Where have you girls been?" Hermione demanded turning around on her heel shooting a glare at the 4 slytherins.
Helen crossed her arms in front of her chest and sneered at Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindors. Karen and Robin turned the corner and saw the writing. Karen's mouth dropped open and she walked over to the wall.
"At least someone's got the right idea. Kill the original Gryffindor." Helen cackled.
"You four , to your house common room now!" McGonagall rounded the corner and pointed her finger in the direction of the slytherin common room.
The four just glared at the teacher and started to stalk off.
"Wonder who the heir is," Karen scoffed and raised her eyebrows at Amber, Madison, Abby, Megan and Rosalina.
"I don't know what their problem is," Rosalina huffed.
"Calm down Gryffindors.. Hermione, take them to the common room, no more wasting time." McGonagall said strictly and turned to walk back from where she came from and saw the writing. She drew a hand to her mouth as it opened in shock and she gasped. "Children, move now!"
The gryffindors hurried, Hermione couldn't remember ever seeing McGonagall looking so shocked except when the chamber was opened.
Sorry I took so long getting this up. Winterguard just started and school's driving me insane! I know this isn't long, but I tried to mention everyone again and add some creepiness to it. Anyway, I'll add more chapters faster now, well as fast as I can so please forgive me if I take a while, but no chapter will take as long as this one did. So please keep reading and reviewing!!
"What could that be?' Maika whispered.
