Chapter 22: Unanswered Queries
"There's been attack!! There's been an attack!!" The words broke the din of eating students like someone had shot a gun off. Padama Parvati ran forward, her face white and striken. "Hermione and Ron! They've been attacked!" She screamed. The sound unnessisarilly loud and shrill.
"What Mrs. Parvati?"
"In the yards! Ron, Hermione they-" Her words were cut off as she fell to her knees and tears over took her. "It's just like second year all over again." Was softly heard by the other students.
This set the teachers into motion and the students into fearful panic. Dumbledore raised his wand and it issued a loud bang that silenced everyone exceplt the students that had started to cry. Slowly he stood up and addressed his students. "Prefects will take their students to their houses. If there is, indeed, a need for worry, the head of your house shall be with you as soon as they are able to. While you are waiting you will remain in your common rooms. Dessert will be sent up there." He calmly stated. He motioned for Snape and McGonigal to follow him as he walked towards the entrance to the grounds.
Snape paused as he was passing Gena and he grabbed her arm. "Take Malfoy to my office and leave him there. I want to talk to him first."
"Yes Sir." She said, her eyes closing themselves off as if preparing for war. He nodded at her and followed the Head Master out.
Ron heard foot steps coming closer as he pulled himself out of his subconscience. He was dizzy and disorientated. He tried to sit up but couldn't due to a heavy weight on his chest. He looked down and saw his chest was covered with blood, as was the body on top of him. A body with bushy brown hair that could only belong to his muggle born friend. He stared transfixed at the slightly bleeding wound in her shoulder that had a neon-green film over top of it. Then he realized that his best friend was dying on top of him and her dead weight was making it extremely hard to breath. He tried to scramble out from under her but was stopped by hands on his shoulders. He looked up into the fathomless black eyes of his most hated teacher, Profesor Snape.
"Don't move." He said harshly to Ron and Ron could do nothing but stare deep into his eyes.
"She's been posioned." McGonigal said to the other two profesors.
"Can you tell by what?" Dumbledore asked.
"No. Siverius?" She asked hopefully.
"I would say a giant spider, but the film over the wound doesn't match the bite."
Ron shuddered violently as he remembered the eyes of the spider that caused him to faint. The three profesors looked at him.
"What bite her?" Snape asked.
"I don't know." Ron said meekly. "I passed out."
"Why di-" Snape started to ask but Dumbledore cut him off.
"I believe it's best to save the interrigation for after we get these two to the hospital wing."
"Yes. You're right Albus." McGonigal said. She conjured a strecher and magiced Hermione off Ron and onto it. She looked down at Ron as he took a deep breath.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" She asked.
"I don't think so."
"Can you stand?" Snape asked.
"I don't know." Ron said as he tried. He managed to stand by himself for a half second before his knees gave out and he fell into Snape's arms.
"Shall I magic a strecher for him too?" She asked Snape.
"No." He replied. "I can carry him." He placed an arm around Ron's shoulders and the other around his knees. He pulled Ron up into a more comfortable carrying position. He told Ron to put his arms around his neck. Ron blushed furiously as he did so but didn't say anything.
None of them took heed of the owl that flew over head, watching their every move.
"Draco." Gena whispered. They were walking to the common room and were surrounded by other students. For once, Crabbe and Goyle weren't at Draco's side.
"What?" Draco asked in an equally low tone.
"Sevi told me to take you to his office. He wanted to talk to you one on one." She told him.
Draco's eyebrows furrowed. "Who's Sevi?"
"Snape." She answered with a smile. He rolled his eyes at her new nickname for Snape.
"Lead the way." He said. He followed her as they inconspicuously tried to get out of the milling students and to the corridor that Snape's office was in.
After having to hide twice and make three detours, they'd reached the closed door.
"Well," Gena asked. "why don't you go in?"
"I don't know the password."
"Oh." She paused and thought. "Mathew." She said and the door opened.
"Who's-" Draco started to ask but stopped when she saw Gena's eyes.
"I don't know. And you will do well not to ask." She said coldly before shoving him through the doorway and closing him in.
He stood in darkness for a moment before a flickering green light shone. Draco turned to the source of the light and froze when he realized they were eyes.
"Hello." A breathy, soft alto saprano voice said from the general direction of the eyes.
"Hello." Draco said back.
"Who are you? Why have you come here?" The voice asked. It didn't sound angry, just curious.
"I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. I'm here to wait for Profesor Snape."
The glowing green eyes seemed to smile. "The man of which you desire to speak with hath spoken well of one Master Malfoy." Draco was taken aback by both the manner in which the voice spoke and the fact that it had heard of him. "Does not Master Malfoy approve of such words being spoken about the Master without his knowleadge?"
"I.. I.. I don't mind. Not at all." Draco said still in a bit of a shock.
"If the young master were to move to his left, right of mine, the master will have the ability to make the light aprear in the chamber."
"Oh.. Yes.. Right." Draco said. He turned to his left and felt around before he found a candle. As soon as he touched the candle it lite and Draco could see around the room. He lite a few other candles before turning back to see the owner of the eyes and voice. He nearly dropped the candle when all he saw was the eyes in the black cloud of smoke.
The eyes smiled at Draco. "Frightened are you by the appearance of mine?"
"No. Just didn't expect you to be a Valyha." He said as he gazed in wonder at the near exstinct species. "You must be one of the last in this part of world."
The eyes seemed to smile weakly. "Mournfully it is truth that comes from your lips." The eyes light up. "Yet, it is great pleasure in not being the only one."
"The only one what?" Draco asked, slightly confused by the Valyha's speaking patterns.
"She means the only one here." A voice said from behind Draco.
Draco turned and caught sight of another Valyha. Only this one had shining blood red eyes instead of green.
"Kaliyah!" The green eyes Valyha said. "Does wakefullness great you?"
"Ahh.. Yeah.. Sure. Whatever you say."
Draco looked back and forth between the two smoke orbs. He couldn't believe the vast difference in their speech patterns. One spoke as if from a bad history movie. The other as if she grew up with teenagers.
"Forgive her, she's got a few screws loose." Kaliyah said while her eyes rolled up and she shook herself. "She insist on talking like she did back when dragons could be seen by muggles."
The green eyed Valyha seemed to expand with indignanty. " How.. How Dare You!" She yelled at Kaliyah.
"Put a cork in it Talquin." Kaliyah said with disgust.
"Why I've never been more insulted in my life!" The green eyed Valyha, now known as Talquin, screeched. Draco looked in puzzlement at Talquin. Something didn't sound right. "How dare you say something like that about me!" That's when Draco realized it. She wasn't talking the same way as before. He realized her whole way of speaking was just an act.
"Oh, go outside in a storm! You're so full of yourself!" Kaliyah yelled back.
"Ladies, please, that's enough. You're making a bad impression."
Draco, Kaliyah and Talquin all turned to the door at once and saw a haggard looking Snape standing in the doorway.
"Dear Lord! What happened to this girl?" Madam Pomfrey asked, her eyes wide, as McGonigal pushed the magic stretcher with Hermione on it into the infirmary.
"We believe it to be a spider bite, but the poison film covering the wound doesn't match any spider venom we know of. Do you have any clue as to what it is?" Dumbledore asked, still as calm as ever.
Snape followed the two in a few steps behind. Ron may have been thin but he wasn't exactly light. It took all of Snape's, once unknown, strength to get Ron to the hospital wing. With surprisingly gentle movements, Snape place Ron onto one of the sterile beds. "Stay there until we tell you what you can do." He whispered to Ron. Ron nodded back and swallowed as he watched Snape walk away.
Ron was confused. He didn't know what to make of the situation. Hermione wad poisoned by something no one had any idea what it was. Snape was being civil, no not civil, nice. Yes, Snape was being *nice* to him and even carried him. Ron was also pretty certain that the giant spider that attacked them didn't do it themselves. Someone made the spider attack them. Of course it could just be a case of paranoia, Ron thought to himself, but I don't think so. It was too.. Something. But it was an attack. But why?
