The Red room's Demi-Witch (Slow Writting)

The Voice

[Camera pans the walls of Lockhart's office, lined with framed photographs of  himself. Amara is seen looking irritated and bored while she's addresses envelopes, while a cheery Lockhart put his signature to the stack of glossy photos bearing his image]

Lockhart: Amara, Amara, Amara...Can you imagine a better way to serve detention than by helping me answer my fan mail?

"And I thought my detentions were bad! Percy states with a look of disgust.

Amara: I couldn't think of a signal thing better than this [She tells him sarcastically with a matching smile which he doesn't pick up on]

A few people chuckle at Amara.

Lockhart: Fame's a fickle friend, Amara. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that.

[Amara blinks and nods. Glancing at the stack of photos with a irritated look and she dips her quill a chilling voice fills to room]

Voice: Come...come to me

Everyone froze. What was that?

"What the Hades was that" Percy questions baffled. Amara grimaces at the memory of the voice.

Amara: What?

Lockhart: I was saying, six solid months at the top of the bestseller list broke all records!

Amara: No...not you, that...voice

Lockhart: Voice?

Amara: Yes, that voice...didn't you hear it?

Lockhart: What are you talking about, Amara? I think we're getting a bit drowsy. Great Scott-no wonder-look at the time! We've been here for nearly four hours! Dinner is nearly done! If you hurry you might make pudding. Spooky how the time flies when one's having fun!

"So much fun" Tracy says sarcastically.

[Amara nods, grabs her bag and leaves the room. As she is walking down the corridor she begins to hear the voice again]

Voice: Blood...I smell blood

"What is it?" Annabeth asks.

[She stops, pulls her wand out and looks around for where the voice is coming from]

A few aurous nod at Amara taking her wand out.

[Amara looks at the walls curiously, playing her fingers across the stones, then begins to walk, slowly at first but always on guard]

Voice: Kill...Time to kill

"That's not good"

"And nobody else heard it?" Will asks Amara.

"Nope" Amara pops the 'P'

[Amara looks startled before jogging down the corridor. As she makes it around the corner she gasps and freezes her step]

Those who weren't there lean forwards wanted to see what she was gasping at.

[Blaise, Theodore and Daphne come around the corner]

Blaise: Amara, we were looking everywhere for you!

[As they all approach Amara they all freeze looking at what Amara is in shock. Shimmering on the walls are the words reflected in water. THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPNED. ENEMIES OF THE HEIR BEWARE]

The wizards were froze in shock.

"What does it mean?" Thalia asked worried for her cousin.

"It will be explained" Amara replied.

[Theodore puts his Arm around Amara bring her close looking extremely worried]

Daphne: Shit...That's Mrs Norris [ She point at the ceiling. The camera moves to show the cat hanging stiffy by her tail from a torch bracket, eyes open and blank. Amara's eyes shift to the window where spiders scuttle up a silvery thread, flight to get through the crack in the glass]

"She looks frozen...almost as if she were...petrified" Remus said and his eyes widen a bit.

"She looks dead" Clarisse dead pans.

Blaise: Has anyone ever seen spiders acting like that?

[Suddenly, the stairwell is alive with voices and, seconds later, dozens of students stream forth, chattering, when they all stop, seeing the wall and, standing before it. Flinch suddenly appears]

"uh, oh"

Flinch: What's going on here? Go on now! Make way...[he stops when he notices the cat] Mrs. Norris[He turns to Amara and approaches her] You! You've murdered my cat! I'll kill you. I'll...

Her family have a dark look in her eyes as they heard his threat.

"If he lays one figure on her, I will kill him slowly" Poseidon says, The Gods slowly move away from him as the Wizards look confused as to why he was making that threat for Amara?

[The trio push Amara behind them as Dumbledore appears]

Dumbledore; Argus! [Seeing the wall his face darkens] Everyone will proceed to their dormitories immediately [He turns to Amara, Daphne's, Blaise and Theodore] Everyone except you four.

[The corridors are now empty, Dumbledore steps to the wall and with extreme gentleness, removes Mrs Norris]

Lockhart: It was definitely a curse that killer her-probably the transmogrifan torture. Encountered it my self once. in Ouagadougou. Full story's in my autobiography

Dumbledore: She's not dead Argus. She's been Petrified.

Remus had been right when he said that the cat was petrified.

Lockhart: Precisely! So unlucky I wasn't there. I know the very counter curse that could of spared her-

Dumbledore: But how she's been petrified... I cannot say

[Filch point at Amara]

Flich:Ask her! It's her that's done it. You saw what she wrote on the wall!

Amara: That's not true! I never even touched Mrs Norris!

Filch: Rubbish!

Snape: If I might, Headmaster Perhaps Potter and her friends were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time

[Amara and her friends slowly blink at Snape when he said that]

Those who know how Snape treats Amara slowly blink as well.

Snape: How ever, the circumstances are suspicious. I, for one, don't recall seeing miss Potter at dinner.

Lockhart: I'm afraid that's my doing, Severus. You see, Amara was helping me answer my fan mail...

[Her friend give her a teasing look which she rolls her eyes at. Snape's lips curls in disgust]

Amara rolls her eyes again at her friends as they give her another teasing look

Daphne: And when we didn't see her at lunch, we went to find her and when we did we found this

Dumbledore: Innocent until proves guilty. [He looks at flinch] We will be able to sure her, Argus. As I understand it, Madam Sprout has a very healthy growth of Mandrakes. When they have matured, a potion will be made which will revive Mrs Norris. In the meantime, I advise caution. To all.
