Disclaimer: I don't and repeat, I DO NOT own Harry Potter and you all know that, and I don't own any characters either, well, mostly. Only made up one extra, only mentioned once in a chapter.
Ch 17 The Spider
In the Great Hall the next day.
Snap.
'Hi Harry! I'm Colin Creevy, I'm in Gryffindor too. My parents are muggles, my dad's a milkman, he-' said Colin excitedly.
'I know that already.' said Harry.
'Oh. Can have your autograph then?' asked Colin smiling.
'No-' said Harry.
'Oh, so you are giving out autographs, Potter!' came a drawling voice from behind. Malfoy was heading in their direction smiling widely, following closely behind was Crabbe and Goyle, smiling widely too.
'Yeah Potter, so you are giving out autographs huh?' said Crabbe.
'Potter, you are giving out autograph.' said Goyle.
'So, Weasley, you want them I 'spose, might get you a new house.' said Malfoy.
'Yeah, Weezley, I suppose you would want one, you can get a new house with that.' said Crabbe.
'Wizeey can get a new house.' said Crabbe.
'Everyone! Potter is giving out signed autograph! Come and queue for one.' shouted Malfoy.
'Look everyone, Potter's giving out photos, come and get yours.' boomed Crabbe.
'Really? Potter is giving out signed photos? Can I have one?' asked Goyle.
'Shut up Malfoy.' said Harry. Malfoy sneered at harry, and walked away. Crabbe and Goyle followed him.
'Hey, I haven't seen Hermione since last night.' said Harry. 'You think she's all right?'
'Wicked! Hermione's petrified.' I said.
'Really?' asked Harry.
'Really.' I said.
'Really really?' asked Harry.
'Really.' I said. 'Percy told me this morning.' Half an hour later, we walked to Umbridge's class for Defence against Dark Arts.
'Hello everyone.' she screeched as everyone took their seats. We sat at the back ignoring her. 'Hem hem. How are you? I'm fine thank you. Well please sit down, greet me everyone, not like this, louder, louder, even louder, higher than this, no come on, use your stomach to greet, no, no, no, too low, I still can't hear you. Very Good. Well done, give yourselves a hand. Come on, clap louder. Good.' She walked over to something huge, covered with a red cloth.
'Today, I going to teach you how to defend yourselves, I going to teach you how to arm yourselves against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind, not only that no harm can befall you whilst I'm here, I must ask you not to scream, it might provoke them.' she said shirlly as she pulled off the red cloth. Under it was a mirror. The very mirror that professor Quirrell had tried to pull the stone out from, the mirror that he hit his head onto, the very creepy mirror.
'There's a very scary creature inside it, a very horrible, evil looking, ugly, foul creature lives inside it. Only I dared look inside it. It all happened yesterday. I was having tea with Sybill Trelawny, we were talking about me, how I got into this school, only the bravest, is suitable for this job... this particular job. And how I got to be the high insquitititatitor. How I got to be me, yes, the magical me.' She wiped a tear off her eye. 'How, for five weeks, I got top for witch weekly's most fingernails award. Until yesterday, I told her that my fingernails got petrified by a boy... ' She said looking angrily at Harry.
'Then, the very yesterday, the big day, she left the room. I walked over to this mirror and looked into it. And I saw it... The creature. It had toad like eyes, a big wide mouth, a toad monster I assume. On it's head was curly fur, it was very huge, probably ate alot of poor people. It was wearing a pink flowerly dress, one that look like mine, probably stealed it, proves that I've got good taste. It wore a pink ribbon on it's head, it had long broken claws and was staring hungrily at me! IT MUST HAVE WANTED TO EAT ME!!! But luckily I was calm, I didn't panic. I quickly took out my wand to charm it, guess what it did? It took out it's wand too. Gracious me, must have taken someone's wand. And fortunally for me, I was quick enough, I ran off. It's still lurking in there.' She walked over to the mirror. 'Watch me.' She told us.
Neville's face was very pale. I stared at her very frightened.
'COME OUT YOU MONSTER. BEFORE I CHARM YOU. I'LL BREAK THE GLASS, wait a minute, you are holding a stone, GIVE IT TO ME. NOW!!! STOP WASTING MY TIME.' she yelled. 'HOW DARE YOU!!!'
Umbridge jumped towards the mirror, hitted her head and fell unconcious to the floor.
'Bloody hell.' I said as walked towards the mirror and saw my reflection.
'You still look like yourself, you need to look more like Percy.' said Harry.
'Bloody Hell.' I said frowning.
'Excellent.' said Harry. 'But where's Hermione?'
'Petrified.' I said.
'Oh well.' said Harry putting his wand back. The bell rang and we ran out. We met Hagrid at the corridor.
'Hi Harry. Hi Ron. I spent half me life chasing the Weasley twins away from the dark forest.' He boomed.
'Hello Hagrid.' we said.
'Hi Harry.' I said. Harry looked at me stupidly.
'Harry, I'm lookin' fer yer, found yer at las'. I wanted ter tell yer summat. Let me think, Oh yes, If anybody's looking fer summat, all they have got ter do is to follow the spiders.' Hagrid said.
'But who do you want to help you follow the spiders?' asked Harry spinning around to see who Hagrid was talking to. Maybe there was someone behind in Harry's invisibility cloak.
'Oh, isn't it obvious? I'm talking ter yeh!' said Hagrid to Harry. 'Who'd you expect? Pumpkin juice?' Hagrid left.
'Who likes spiders?' I said thinking about their disgustion black hairy leg, I'm afraid of anything with hairy legs. Ever wondered why I'm so afraid of Dumbledore?
Suddenly, we saw some small spiders walking on the floor.
'Look! A spider! Remembered what Hagrid said? We need to follow the spiders! Come on.' said Harry.
'Oh no, my legs have turned to jelly.' I shouted holding my legs, 'Harry, carry me.' I jumped onto Harry and we both stumbled forwards and smashed the spiders, killing a few.
We then followed the ones that didn't die, we followed them around the castle for a few hours. Round and round the castle we went.
Then finally, we reached a room, and there was a giant thing inside.
'Hagrid... Is that you?' It said.
'We're friends of Hagrid.' Harry said bravely.
'But Hagrid's never sent men to our room before.' said the thing, 'I'm Aragog, pet of Rubeus Hagrid, pet of keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts. And why are you here?'
'Errrm... Hagrid said to follow the spiders.' said Harry.
'Oh... really? I see.' said the thing.
'We'll just go.' said Harry. Harry stepped closer to me and whispered into my ear.
'We'll have to run for it-'
'Well, well, well. I didn't kill no nothing. It was you-know-who's pet, not my owner's pet. It's was you-know-what, that yellow eye thing. I came in the pocked of something. I never saw that thing. When you-know-who was young, his name was you-know-which, and you-know-what lived in you-know-where, I've never been to you-know-where. Never.'
'We'll just go.' said Harry.
'Go?' said the thing. Suddenly, the thing died and we left.
'Follow the spiders. Follow the spiders. If Hagrid ever comes here again, I'll kill him.' I said angrily. 'I mean, what's the point of sending us in there? What have we found out?'
'That Aragog never killed no one, NEVER!' shouted Harry.
We met Hermione on our way down, she had been unpetrified by Dumbledore when he went in and made a whole load of noise.
'Granger? Where have you been? Pigging out to the great hall all this while.' came Malfoy's voice.
'Yeah Granger? Where were you? Were you pigging in the great hall?' asked Crabbe.
'Granger. You are pigging out.' said Goyle. Malfoy sneered. Hermione cried and ran to the girl's bathroom to cry.
'Hello Weasel. Potty.' sid Malfoy still sneering.
'Hi Weasley, Potter.' said Crabbe.
'Weasel in the potty.' said Goyle confused.
'Shut up, Malfoy.' I said.
'Malfoy, shut up.' said Golye then looking horrified with himself.
'What's wrong with you Goyle?' said Malfoy.
'Yeah, what's wrong with you Goyle?' said Crabbe.
'Goyle, are you wrong? I mean, stomache ache.' said Goyle. We walked to the transfiguration classroom. Professor Mcgonagall was teaching us how to transfigure our hands onto feets. Only Hermione managed to do so, only that she couldn't hold the wand transfigure it back. Parvatil had managed to make her hands drop off. At the end of the lesson, other the two, the rest of us had not managed to change our hands. Everyone except Hermione were given homework to do.
Later that night, midnight, we were happily snoring away when suddenly there was a loud crash. I jerk awake, Harry was putting on his glasses. Seamus and Dean were stirring in their beds and Neville screamed. There was a loud grunt from beside my bed. I saw a huge shadow silhouette against the window. It was breathing slowly and woke up when it heard Neville's scream. Harry took out his wand.
'Lumos.' he said. We walked closer towards the dark shadow.
'Dumbledore?' Seamus said.
'Professor, what are you doing here?' asked Harry. Dumbledore grunted.
'I'm sleeping here, can't you see, the air conditional in my room has broken down, I came here to sleep.' said Dumbledore. 'And I hope you'll forgive your gentle Headmaster for doing so. He has done so much for the school.'
'No!' shouted Seamus. 'Never!'
'Slience!' shouted Dumbledore. '...where you in my house have your fate rested in my hands, I assure you that you will be on your way home tonight, as it is.'
'They are not.' came a voice as Professor Mcgonagall and someone else entered.
'Professor Mcgonagall, Professor Lockhart.' said Harry.
'They are in Gryffindor, and therefore it is up to me to determine their appropriate punishment.' said Mcgonagall.
'Thanks Professor.' said Seamus.
'What are you talking about, Mr. Finnigan?' asked Professor Mcgonagall.
'I said Thanks.' said Seamus.
'I was going to expell you.' said Mcgonagall.
'Huh? Noooooooo...' yelled Seamus.
'Ha! So unlucky I wasn't here, Finnigan. I know just the spell that can get them to forget what they've heard.' said Lockhart. Seamus was still wimpering at his bed.
'Ha ha, gotcha, I was just joking.' said Mcgonagall.
'Haw haw haw Minerva. You had me fooled too. Haw haw haw. You old fool. Haw Haw... I mean, I knew you were joking all along... You can't fool the smartedt wizard on earth... Haw haw... Did you see the look on Fi-ninni-gan's face? Haw haw haw?' Roared Dumbledore I swore the whole school woke. Moaning Mrytle flew in.
'What was that? You were laughing at poor ugly old miserable moaning mrytle again aren't you?' she flew out again crying.
'I had you fooled.' said Mcgonagall.
'No you didn't, as I said, who are you to fool the smartest wizard on earth, you dunderhead.' Roared Dumbledore.
'Oh yes I did. I certainly did fooled you.' said Mcgonagall.
'Oh. Shut up! What about me? I'm braver than either of you.' said Lockhart.
'I am the bravest, smartest, best looking wizard. Ever!' yelled Dumbledore. Then suddenly, they all disapparated. We went back to our beds to sleep.
