Author's Note – New chapter boys & Girls. Now, this will be a mixture of the film and my own stuff. I was just reading this cool fanfic about a girl who didn't know she was a veela and I enjoy reading it. If anyone's interested, a new chapter for the horror within is out. Any mistakes, I'm sorry. As before, I don't own Harry Potter, Enjoy.)
I was just fixing up my hair after having a shower. I was wearing a black leather jacket, a white short top, some jean shorts with my leggings underneath them and some short, black leather boots. God, the way I'm dressed, you think I was born a bum. I started to dry my hair with the drying spell that Hermione told me and I took my school clothes and went outside. When I stepped outside, I saw Hermione patting Little bell. Wow, they got on very quick.
"I love your cat." Hermione said.
"Thank you." I said.
"What's her name?" She asked.
"Little Bell" I answered.
"Oh, that's a cute name." Hermione said, now stroking her. "Did you buy it?"
"Ah, no. I found it in a dirty, old alleyway. Well, actually she found me, when I was sleeping in it." I said. Hermione looked very bad for me and gave a hug.
"You're strong, you will be fine." She said. I was happy with that. Eventually we left the girls dormitory and went into the common room to meet up with Harry and Ron.
"So Harry, where's thee cloak?" I asked him.
"Um, I don't have it." Harry said.
"What do you mean you don't have it?" I said.
"Harry said we didn't need it." Ron said.
"Are you kidding?" Hermione said. "Without it, we'll bound to be seen."
"Don't worry about it." I said. "I did a lot of sneaking around while I was at the Orphanage. This will be second nature. Just follow me and don't make a sound. Any of the sort will possibly give us away."
(AN: Yes I left this one out too, like I said I rushed it. I looked around and saw Harry, Ron, Hermione and Sophie staring at me, looking very annoyed. Alright, I'll get on with the story.)
"Okay." The three said in unison and we left the common room. We snuck around the school, while trying to afford Filch and the other teachers. Eventually, we got into the school grounds and we quickly bolted to Hagrid's Hut. The ground was soggy but since no one was around, I doubt someone is going to hear. We reached the door of the hut and Ron knocked on the door. The door opened and Hagrid greeted us, wearing a chequered apron.
"Oh, It's you four." Hagrid said "Don't wished to be rude but I'm in no fit state to entertain."
"We know about the Philosopher's Stone." We all said.
"Oh" Hagrid said and he ushered us in.
"We think Snape's trying to steal it." Harry said.
"Christ!" Hagrid said. "You still not on about him?"
"We know he's trying to steal it, we just don't know why." Harry said.
"Listen. Snape is one of the teachers defending the stone, he not about to go steal it." He said.
"One of the teachers?" I asked.
"Of course. There are others things protecting the stone, is there?" Hermione said. "Spells, Enchantments.".
"That's right, but nothing's getting past Fluffy. Ain't a soul knows how, Expect for me and Dumbledore. I shouldn't told you that. I shouldn't told you that." He said. Then Hermione looked at me with a confused look on her face. This dog is starting to sniff me and I just started moving away.
"Ah, I see that Fang's likes ya." Hagrid said.
"This thing is called Fang?" I said.
"Yeah. He's my dog."
"Just hoping this dog doesn't try to lick my face." I said. Just then, we heard a rattle come from a pot that was over the fire. Hagrid quickly grabs a giant egg and plants it on a table. The shell of a golden, bronze colour.
"Hagrid?" Ron said. "Is that what I think it is? Where did you get it?"
"Well, I've brought it from a stranger I've met at the pub. He was pretty thrilled to be rid of it, actually." Hagrid said but then the egg started to shake again. I was pretty worried. Right now, I didn't want to know what it is. Eventually it cracked open, and out came out a baby dragon. It had small scales and some crooked wings that made it look like a... well, I don't know something. We all look at it and I can tell they had the same expression as I did.
"Is that... a dragon?" Hermione asked.
"That's not just a dragon." Ron beamed" It's a Norwegian Ritchback"
"Oh look at it, my very own dragon. Always wanted one." Hagrid beamed "Hello, Norbert"
"Norbert?" I asked.
"Oh well, he's got to have a name, don't he?" Hagrid said. "Oh look, he knows his mummy." Then the baby dragon coughed and shot some sparks before shooting some flames at Hagrid, burning Hagrid's beard. If that what's a baby dragon can, I can already begin to Imagine what a big one can do. "He'll have to be trained up a bit, of course." Hagrid said. "Who's That?" We all looked out the window and we saw the git with blonde hair, my 'cousin'
"Malfoy!" Harry Spat.
"Oh dear." Hagrid said.
"He'll going to rat us out." I said.
"How did Malfoy know that we were here?" Ron said
"He must've follow us" Hermione said.
"Doesn't matter, if we don't get back to the Dormitory, we in for a long lecture and I'm not ready for that." I said. We bid Hagrid a quick goodbye before we left the hut and we took off for the school, hoping we don't get caught. We reached it without any problems but we are not in the clear just yet.
"Hagrid always wanted a dragon." Harry said. "He told me this the first time I've meet him."
"And worse, Malfoy knows." I said
"I don't understand." Hermione adds "Is it that bad?"
"It's bad." Ron said, fearfully. We looked in the direction at he was and we can tell why. McGonagall was standing in her pyjamas, looking very pissed at us. We been caught.
"Good Evening." She said Sternly. Then Malfoy came out with a smirk on his face. That bastard, I'll get him for this.
"Nothing. I repeat, nothing, gives a student a right to walk about the school at night." McGonagall said, anger laced in her voice. "So therefore, as punishment for your actions. Fifty points will be taken from your house."
"FIFTY?" Harry said, shocked.
"Each." McGonagall said. I looked at Malfoy, who was still smirking. "And to make sure it doesn't happen again. All five of you will receive detention."
"I'm sorry, Professor." Malfoy now spoke. "Perhaps I misheard you. I thought you said the five of us."
"No, Mister Malfoy. You heard me correctly." She said. "As noble as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. You will join your classmates in detention." Malfoy then shot a look at us but we were now smiling. Even though we had detention, at least the snitch has paid for his crime. We were made it back to the Gryffindor common room and we hang our heads low.
"I knew we should've brought the cloak" I said.
"Would've made much of a difference anyway." Harry mumbled
"And now, my cousin has decided to rat us out." I said. I saw shocked faces looking at me. Oops, probably shouldn't said that.
"You and Malfoy are cousins?" Ron said "When were planning on telling us?"
"Oh yeah, that would've been cheerful." I spat back. "Hey guys, Guess what? Draco Malfoy's my cousin."
"When did you find out?" Hermione said.
"Just today." I said "Dumbledore told me."
"Well, now we know why Malfoy knew where we were." Ron Spat
"You think I told Malfoy?" I snapped. "I can't stand him!"
"Sophie, he didn't" Hermione started.
"I don't want to hear it. I see you lot in the morning." I said before storming off to bed. How dare he say that.
(#BREAK)
I woke up and I got up and did my things and left the common room for the great hall. I reached it and took a seat and started digging into the food. Then a note appear in front of me. I picked it up and read it.
This is your detention slip. You will report to Filch for your detention. Failure to arrive will result in either a week's detention or possible suspension.
Professor McGonagall
Oh great, we got to report to Filch for detention. Then I see Hermione appeared and she sat next to me. "Morning, Hermione." I said.
"Are You still angry at me?" Hermione said with hurt in her voice.
"Why?" I said.
"For what happened last night?" She added. I remember last night and I realise what I said. I gave her a hug then pull away.
"I'm not mad at you. It's just Ron." I said.
"Yeah, he's a idiot." Hermione said and we both giggle at that. Then I saw Ron & Harry joined us. Ron had a guilty look on his face.
"Ron has something he wants to say to you." Harry said.
"I'm sorry." Ron said. "I'm sorry for what I said last night. I shouldn't said that."
"Apology accepted but only if you were wrong about me telling Malfoy where we were last night.". I said to him
"I was wrong." Ron said.
"Good." I said before tucking into the bacon.
(#Break)
The night has arrived. It was time for detention. Mind you, Like I'm looking forward to it. I meet up with Harry, Ron and Hermione and we left for Filch's office, our impending doom. We reached the office and we saw Filch waiting outside.
"State your business." He said.
"We are here for detention. Surely McGonagall told you that." I said.
"Yeah, she did" He said, smiling then ferret boy turned up. We follow Filch into the school grounds. "The old detentions had student hanging by their thumbs in the dungeons. God, I miss the screaming." Well, didn't want to know that. The faces from everyone tell me that we are lucky we weren't in that time period. "You will spending detention with Hagrid tonight. He's got a little job in the Dark Forrest" He said. We looked at Hagrid and he looked sad.
"Norbert's gone." Hagrid said coldly. "Dumbledore sent him off to Romania, to live a colony."
"Well, that's good, is it?" Hermione said. "He'll be with his own kind."
"But what if he don't like Romania?" He said. I could see Filch rolled his eyes. "What if he doesn't like the other dragons? What if the other dragons don't like him? He's only a baby, after all."
"Oh, get a grip, will ya Hagrid. You're going into the Dark Forrest." Filch said. "Got to have your wits about ya."
"The Dark Forrest?" Malfoy said. "I thought that was a joke! We can't go in there!" Filch looks at him. "Students aren't allowed and there are... werewolves." He sounds scared.
"Oh, there is more then werewolves in this Forrest, you can be sure of that." Filch said. "Nighty Night." Then he walked off towards the castle. Now I was scared. I didn't want to go into the Forrest but I had no choice. I'm sure everyone else will be agreeing with me.
"Right. Let's go." Hagrid said and we followed him into the Forrest. The fog was hampering my eyesight, meaning we won't be able to see anything until we get very close. I felt a hand touched mine and I jumped. It was Hermione's hand. She held it and she squeeze it gently. Then Hagrid stopped and we surrounded him. We saw something silver and liquidity. Hagrid dipped his two fingers into it and he show us what it was.
"You see this?" Hagrid said. "This is unicorns blood. Now this one has been hurt bad by something. So it's our jobs to find the poor beast." In the corner of my eye, I saw a figure in the distance but be course it was far away, I couldn't tell what it was. "So, let's spit up. Hermione, Ron, You will come with me." Hagrid said.
"Okay." Ron croaked.
"Harry, Sophie, you will go with Malfoy." He said.
"Okay, then I get Fang." Malfoy said.
"Alright. Just so you know, he's a bloody coward." Hagrid said. Then we heard a whine from Fang which confirms our worst fears. We all went our separate ways and we went down a dingy path when we heard Malfoy whine again.
"My father will hear about this!" He said. "This is servants stuff." I rolled my eyes.
"If I can tell, I can say you're scared." Harry said.
"Scared Potter?" Malfoy said but then we heard a howl came from behind and Malfoy's face went from cocky to scared. I laughed at that. We reached a ditch and we found our injured unicorn but what was with it was a shock. A cloak figure was biting into its neck and drinking its blood. Then I heard a gasp came from Harry who is clutching at his scar.
"Harry?" I said "Harry, are you okay?" I stopped talking. The creature was looking at us. It let out a snarl. Malfoy screamed and running away with Fang. Harry was still clutching at his scar and the creature started moving towards us. We started walking back but then I fell down, knocking Harry to the ground with me. I buried my face into Harry's uniform but then I heard galloping and some swinging but I was too scared to look.
"Sophie, it's over." Harry whispered to me. I looked up and I saw the creature was gone, replaced by a half-man, half animal.
"You shouldn't be out here, Harry & Sophie." He said. "You two are known to many creatures here."
"What was that thing you save us from?" I asked.
"A monstrous creature. It's a terrible crime to slay a unicorn." He said "The blood of a unicorn can keep you alive, even if you are even a inch from death. But when from a moment the blood touches your lips, you will live a half-life, a cursed life."
"Who would do such a thing?" Harry said.
"Can you think of no one?" He said
"You mean that thing, that was drinking its blood, is Voldemort?" Harry realised. Voldemort? Is alive? Oh, that's not good.
"Harry, Sophie." I heard. We turned around and saw Ron, Hermione, Hagrid & Malfoy looking at us.
"Hello Firenze. I see that you have met Harry Potter and Sophie Lestrange." Hagrid said. "You alright, you two?" We both nodded.
"This is where I leave you two." Firenze said. "You both are safe now. Good luck." Then he took off. That doesn't matter. You-Know-Who is alive and I was worried about Harry. And Myself.
(Author's Note – There we go. Hope you enjoy it. Now this was a long chapter and it took me ages to write, considering that we came off a very dark chapter. Next time, they have a talk about the dark lord and they have a realisation about the stone's defences. Like and review if you have any questions. Until next time, Kizzard245 out!)
