The Union of the Snake: Chapter Three- Whispers

Once inside Aryn ran to the Gryffindor common room as fast as she could, when she reached the fat lady she was completely out of breathe. "Had a nice run have we, you look well puffed out dear." The lady in the portrait said sympathetically. "Oh yeah, fine, fine" Aryn wasn't paying much attention to what the lady had just said, "Banana Fritters" she gasped and the portrait swung open revealing the common room where James and Russell where sitting. "Wingardium Leviosa" Russell was shouting over and over again as he frantically waved his wand in the air trying to lift an empty chocolate frog box. "Oh damn its never going to work!" He stormed throwing his wand across the room. "That's because you're not doing it properly, its swish and flick, swish and flick." James demonstrated with his wand, "Just watch, Wingardium Leviosa!" The empty box suddenly rose into the air and flew across the room hitting Aryn on the head. "Hey, that was sore!" "Oh sorry Aryn didn't quite notice you there." James apologised whilst trying not to laugh, "You look like you've had quite a jog, you're face is all red and puffy looking." Aryn turned to look in the mirror, she looked like she had been running a marathon she was sweating and couldn't talk due to being out of breathe. "Yeah, it was cold so I ran all the way over." She bit her bottom lip; she wanted to tell them about Gavin but thought it might be best if she kept it to herself. "Anyway I'm shattered I'm going up to bed. Goodnight."

James loved Saturday afternoon's they were always enjoyable with Russell and Aryn around, but today was different, Aryn had promised Russell to help him with his levitation spell so James was alone the whole day. Walking down the empty corridor himself he was starting to get bored already and he had only left the others ten minutes ago, if only something exciting would happen to him he thought, and he started to daydream about how he wished he could have adventures like his father. "Didn't you hear" James turned round, to see who was talking Emma Watson and Madison Green not wanting to be seen alone James hid behind an old suit of armour quickly. "Hear what?" Madison replied to her Emma who James had first heard. "Well, I heard one of the teachers talking about how the ministry where starting to worry about the reforming of some union." Emma stopped and looked round her to make sure no one was listening, "Something to do with a snake, or maybe it was a dragon never mind. The main thing is everyone is getting all panicked about it, supposedly they used to be liked to you-know- who, and might plan an attack on the school." Madison shrieked, "Don't worry though it probably won't happen I owled my father this morning and he said it was all just idle gossip." They both gave a short sigh and then together walked off and talking about how Fiona Longbottom has a crush on Tom Welling. James came out from behind from where he was hiding, this was interesting he knew he'd have to go talk to Aryn and Russell quickly, some investigation needed to be done, idle gossip or no. This was big he could feel it.

"The Union of the Snake, yes I think I've heard about them" Aryn looked up as James came in and announced what he heard, "They used to be you-know- who's secret service type thing, they were the most powerful force known to the wizarding world once upon a time." "Yeah, I heard my Dad talking about them once with your Dad James, supposedly the ministry's been worried about this happening for years. It's big news if you ask me." Russell said whilst practising his swish and flick technique. "Well, there's no other option, we're going to have to do some research. If they attack Hogwarts this could be the big adventure I've been waiting for!" James said quickly as he rushed out the door and headed to the Library.
