I walked into breakfast with my nose stuck in a book once again. I ate in silence, busy reading. This was how it was every morning, reading a book.
The day was fairly uneventful. Learning and stuff, occasionally speaking with my new pet basilisk. So, I will skip ahead. I walked into the defense against the Dark Arts classroom to find a medium sized basilisk in a cage. My eyes were immediately covered as it looked at me.
"Never look into a basilisk's eyes, Kane." A whisper in my ear told me that it was Professor Angemortil covering my eyes, "Then again, you already know that! Seeing as how this lesson is specifically ordered to teach you how to handle your new pet." I nodded. I turned my head, and he uncovered my eyes. He walked to his desk, and addressed the class when they came in.
"Today, you will learn what to do when confronted with a basilisk. First of all, never look directly into it's eyes! That is an instant death. Looking into it's eyes indirectly will only petrify. A bite from a basilisk is extremely venomous, and will kill you in minutes. Only the tears of a phoenix can heal it." I raised my hand when he finished, of course.
"Yes, Kane?" He said, trowing me an almost irritated look.
"What do basilisk eat?" I needed to know that.
"Anything and everything they want," He responded calmly, "Alright, this basilisk was illegally created, and was given to us to show what it is capable of." He placed a cat in front of the basilisk, and the cat looked up into the basilisks eyes. It died instantly, and with a loud screech. Huh... what do you know. Curiosity killed the cat, "That is an effect of looking directly into the basilisk's eyes! Now, the venom is also extremely poisonous." He went on for a while longer, talking about the potency with a bored expression on his face. Skip.
I didn't care to put on my normal clothes today, because it takes a bit too long. I walked around the common room, watching pranks get pulled, revenge get taken, and people staring at me irritably. My new pet made a bunch of noise specifically for the purpose of keeping people awake. I fed him really quickly and then got to doing some homework. Estrella came by to help and we worked together for a bit. By the time we finished, It was almost time to go to bed. This stuff was late already and I could not get a bad grade if I wanted to be an auror one day. I offered to turn her stuff in as well. She refused at first, but I convinced her to let me.
I grabbed her stuff and my stuff and rushed out. I was in such a hurry, I forgot one important detail.
The full moon was out.
Boy, I would pay. If you ever have a very important detail to remember, remember it, or you might end up regretting it.
Chapter three! Finished! Leave a review please. And have a nice day.
