Chapter 8
A/N: Thank you so much everyone, for all the reviews! I just want to clear this up: there is NO slash. I apologize, but at first I misinterpreted its meaning. There will be more about the Baudelaire's in the next chapter!Here is chapter 8!
Harry, Hermione and Ron sat in their potions class the next day. Slughorn was rambling on about nothing really. Ron had his head down on the table, and he was drooling, probably meaning he was asleep. Slughorn's eyes fell onto Ron.
"RONALD WEASLEY!" He yelled. Ron woke up and sat bolt upright.
"What- I- Huh?" Ron said, rubbing his eyes.
"Please stay awake in my class, Mr. Weasley!" Slughorn spat in Ron's face. Ron nodded glumly and opened his book. Slughorn turned away and continued on.
"Grumpy, isn't he?" Ron said. He put his book up in front of his face and went back to sleep.
"Ronald!" Hermione whispered, trying to wake Ron as Slughorn neared him. "RON!" She whispered. Slytherins' sniggered behind them. Neville Longbottom looked at Rom. He quickly rolled a piece of paper into a ball and threw it at Ron's head. Ron woke up again.
"I saw you sleeping, Weasley!" Slughorn yelled. He slammed his book down on his desk and whipped out his wand. Ron whimpered and scooted back in his chair as Slughorn put his nose to Ron's. "I will not except that! If I could, I would-"
BOOM!
"RON!" Yelled someone. Through the window burst bright red lights, which knocked everyone to the floor. People screamed. Harry could barely see through the redness.
"Hermione!" He cried. He could just see Hermione. She was screaming at the top of her lungs; someone was dragging her away. "NO!" Harry yelled. He pulled his wand and crawled toward her. He grabbed her hand. The red lights got thicker. He couldn't see; he pointed his wand blindly, and hoping he would hit whoever was dragging Hermione away. "Expelliarmus!" Harry yelled. A girl screamed, and fell to the floor, the red lights dying away as the person struggled to stand. Harry felt rage swim through his veins as he looked at Bellitrax Lestrange.
"YOU, POTTER!" Yelled Bellitrax madly.
"YOU, LESTRANGE!" Harry yelled back at her. She laughed horribly. The laugh sounded familiar… "YOU KILLED SIRIUS!" Harry yelled. She laughed again.
"Sure did!" She yelled. She stood, her hair fluttering, and she jumped out the window.
Meanwhile, The Baudelaire's had heard screaming from the class as they stood outside. They saw Bellitrax jump from the window.
"Who is that?" Violet asked.
"That's that Lestrange lady Harry told us about!" Klaus yelled. They ran to the building. But she disappeared in a puff of smoke before she reached them.
"Frius?" Sunny said. Violet and Klaus looked at her.
"I don't know how or what she just did." Klaus said. "Come on. We should go see if Harry, Hermione and Ron are OK."
They ran through the doors and up the stairs. They twisted and turned, up and up until they burst into the Potions room. Harry and Hermione were helping people into chairs. Ron's face was bloody as he sat in a chair, breathing heavily. Harry seemed OK, but Hermione's ankles and hands were red, like someone was holding her tightly. Violet, Klaus and Sunny ran in to help.
"Are you OK?" Violet asked. They nodded.
"Ron not so much." Harry said.
"We should get him to the hospital wing." Hermione said. Everyone nodded and walked over to Ron. Violet and Harry helped him up and they all started off toward the hospital wing, Slughorn taking care of the rest of the class.
A/N: Thanks! I mean, for reading and all! I know, this chapter was too short and didn't have enough info in it; THERE IS MORE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! Just letting you know now.
