Ch 9 The Attacks
I followed Harry down to the dungeons for Potions the next day. When we reached the dungeons, Snape was already there. Careful not to give snape any chance to take away another five or ten points away from Gryffindor, we quickly slid into their seats.
'Now, today, you are going to brew for me a potion that can cure phobia of going to the toilet, hurry up, everyone, take a piece of slug tail and some dragon scales.' said Snape. Everyone moved forward carefully and took them. After half an hour, everyone seemed have finished brewing with a dark purple coloured potion, all except-
'Longbottom! Ten points of Gryffindor for not brewing it right.' Snape said peering into Neville's green coloured potion.
Just then, the bell rang and Hermione headed stright to the library.
'He's picking on Neville, just because his not from Slytherin.' said Seamus.
'And not to mention taking points away from Gryffindor.' said Dean.
'Yeah, he's such a biased...'
We left them at the stairs and headed back to the common room while the rest went to the great hall. The corridor was empty except for Peeves who flew away looking very frightened when we arrived.
'I 'spect it's Bloody Baaron.' said Harry.
'Bloody Hell!' I said. Suddenly, a sizzling sound sounded from across the room.
'Do you hear that?' I asked Harry.
'What, hear what?' Harry asked.
'That sound, sounds like something's frying.' I said.
'Oh, I think it's that way.' said Harry.
I quickly followed Harry as he led the way. We soon found ourselves in a large empty room, where the source of noise came from, it was filled with many giant pictures of some famous people, some even muggles would regconise, mainly people associated with food. Some of them were cooking, doing up some dishes.
We stared amazingly at the pictures when suddenly, a heard a loud bang from behind me, I turned around only to find Harry lying at my feet. Then I saw it, it was small and brown, and it flew directly at my face.
WHAM! I felt my face turing red and then before I knew it, I fell down to the floor. The last thing I remembered was the sizzling sound that filled the whole room after that.
My face was still stinging when I woke up, I was lying on a bed. I closed my eyes and laid there, then I heard people talking.
'I told you, we should have warned them to avoid that place, it's too dangerous! We'll only have more accidents after this.' Snape was saying furiously, spitting at every word.
'If we tell them, more people will only go, they would want to see it for themselves. This would not-' Mcgonagall was saying.
'They will have to be responsible for-' Snape continued but was interruped by Mdm Pomfrey.
'Can you please keep your voices down, they need rest,' she shooed them out of the room and left.
I opened my eyes and realised that I was in the hospital wing. I turned to the left and found Harry starring at the celing. He too had overheard their conversasion. We left the hospital in the late morning, and walked down the stairs to the great hall.
'Why are they keeping this from us, either it is very dangerous, or it is a secret, or... I don't know.' said Harry.
'Wicked!' I said.
'What do you think was that, I mean the thing that attacked us?' asked Harry.
'Dunno' I said.
'You mean you were attacked? I thought you were gone because you were doing detention or something!' said Hermione very loudly that almost the whole hall could hear.
'You were attacked? By what, I hope it dosen't comes here.' said Neville, his whole face turing white.
'You were attacked, Potter? By a ghost, and did you faint just because you saw it. And did Weasley just faint because he saw his mother?' sneered Malfoy who was walking towards us.
'Shut up Malfoy.' said Harry.
'Wicked!' I said as Malfoy walked away. Everyone later left for classes, some looking scared, other looked normal, except for Seamus who looked really happy and talking to Dean really excitedly.
We had Defence Against Dark Arts after that, and Quirrell gave up trying to ask us help him get the stone, instead, everyone were talking in groups, talking about the attack while Quirrel stood in front of the mirror trying to pull the stone out. At the end of the lesson, everyone left with Quirrell still talking to himself. We went to the Green House for Herbology after that and professer Sprout taught us about dangerous plants, one of them in which was that Womping Willow. When we finished with Herbology, we went back to our common room.
I sat in the common room playing with Harry my favourite game: Wizard's Chess, while Hermione sat at a corner buried under books. Suddenly Neville came running in and shouting.
'Another attack! Somebody has been attacked!'
'Wicked!' I exclaimed. Then Mcgonagall came in.
'May I have your attention please. I have some serious announcment to make, all students are not allowed to go to the restricted area on the third floor, it is forbidden, and absolute dangerous, as you all know, that several students have been attacked and you are asked not to go looking for anything there unless you want to die a painful death.' she said before leaving.
'Wicked!'
'I think I know what to do, Ron, and... are you think what I'm thinking?' Harry asked.
'Errr... maybe...No.' I said.
'I think it's time for us to go and save the day, like we always do. And it's time to take my father's invisibility cloak out again.' Harry replied.
'Wicked!'
It was Saturday, Hogsmade trip was here, as many students were so willing to leave the castle for a full day of excitement at Hogsmade, we decided to stay.
