A/N: Hello, it's me again. So, I didn't get any reviews, but that's okay. I think that I'm doing all right. So, I figured out that the total number of chapters will be five chapters. So, I don't have the book in front of me, so some of the quotes might be wrong from the book.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter because I wouldn't be writing this right now.

Chapter 2: I'm Petrified!

I woke up, feeling something soft beneath me. Apparently, I was lying down due to my view of the ceiling, and I was moving. I tried to sit up, but I couldn't move. Wait, am I petrified? Yes, I am. I saw the basilisk's eyes in the mirror.

"Albus, I don't know what to do," a voice said. It sounded like Professor McGonagall. "Another double attack. Will we have to close down the school?"

"I don't know, Minerva," a voice that sounded like Professor Dumbledore replied. "I do know that you will have to cancel today's Quidditch game." Oh no, Harry will be devastated. "Also, you might want to bring Mr. Potter and Mr, Ronald Weasley to see Miss Granger in the hospital wing." Well, at least Harry and Ron will see me.

As I heard Professor McGonagall walking away, I heard a door open and saw the familiar ceiling of the hospital wing. I felt myself being set down on one of the soft beds in the hospital wing. I heard the frantic steps of Madam Pomfrey rushing over to my bed.

"Oh, Albus," she cried. "Both Penelope Clearwater and Hermione Granger! Do you have any clues as to who might have done this?"

"They were found with a circular mirror near Miss Granger," Dumbledore replied. I heard Madam Pomfrey gasp. "Poppy, if you will excuse me, I must go send a very important letter." I then heard Professor Dumbledore's footsteps walk away. For a few minutes, the whole of the hospital wing was silent except for the scratching of Madam Pomfrey's quill.

I then heard the sound of the heavy double doors opening and thought Professor Dumbledore was back. It wasn't him, though; it was Professor McGonagall.

I heard her say to someone in her thick, Scottish accent, "This may come as a bit of a shock to you. There has been another attack-another double attack."

"Hermione," I heard a familiar voice say. Was that Ron? Yes, it was, and if he's here, Harry must be here, too.

"She was found near the library with this near her," Professor McGonagall continued. I heard the slightest sound of something being picked up from the table next to me. It must be the mirror. "Does this mean anything to either of you?"

"No," I heard two voices sy. So, Harry was there. I could tell the boys were standing right next to me due to their hot breaths breathing on my face. Ew, one of their breaths wreak. I be it's Ron; he had some sort of smelly food for lunch. I wish one of the boys (mainly Harry because Ron's an idiot) would notice the piece of paper I have clenched in my hand.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, we have to go back to your dormitories for your safety," Professor McGonagall said. "You can visit Miss Granger tomorrow." I then heard their footsteps walk away.

Well, at least I have something to look forward to everyday instead of just lying here doing nothing. When Ron and Harry left, Madam Pomfrey kept checking over me and Penelope. After a while, I heard the doors burst open and someone run to Penelope's bed.

"Oh, Penny," the boy cried. The voice sounded familiar, yet I couldn't place my finger on it.

"Mr. Weasley!" Madam Pomfrey screeched. Th voice was Percy, Ron's brothr! Were him and Penelope dating? It does make sense, though. "You should be in your dormitory."

"I'm sorry, Madam Pomfrey," Percy apologized. "I just heard that Penny was petrified, and I had to see her."

"That is very kind of you, but now, you must leave," Madam Pomfrey replied. From what I could hear, Madam Pomfrey hd pushed Percy out th door.

Eventually, I fell asleep that night, but don't ask me how because I don't know. I seriously don't know because my eyes are always open.

A/N: So, do you think this was good? If you did, please leave a review. If you have constructive criticism, also leave a review for that, too.
