Basilisk at the Ga'Hoole Tree

by Whip-Owl

The basilisk broke into the Ga'Hoole Tree. Now he's petrifying the owls. They must send him back to Harry Potter's world, but that won't be easy. *Sequel to Guardiens at Hogwarts.*

17. Turning Blue

Turning Blue

Digger flew in the dungeons. This was where his home had been last year. Not much had changed since then. He peered into one of the rooms. There was a potion with flames under it there. And no one was in the room. Well, I doubt that can be good. He flew into the room and landed on the table.

Before he could decide whether or not to turn off the flame, some of the potion spilled out and hit him. "Yike!" he flapped his wings to cool off the spots the potion had hit. He took a few deep breathes then looked himself over to make sure there wasn't any really bad damage done.

He wasn't hurt. But he was blue! "Oh wonderful." He groaned. He knew he was lucky, most potions would do far worse. But this was still not desirable. He tried cleaning the blue out by preening. That didn't work. He wasn't sure how to get it out. Then Digger heard footsteps. Well, I can't stick around here. So he headed toward the door. On the way he saw a potions book. Maybe this will tell me how to get the blue off. So he took the book and flew out.
