DESPITE YOUR GREAT ANNOYANCE AND VISIBLE HOSTILITY, HERMIONE HAD DRAGGED YOU WITH HER TO HER STUDY SESSIONS.
you had refuted, but she somehow managed to drag you here.
so now you were just sitting with kaburamaru slithering around your arms and hands, scaring the wits out of the other students, who all moved to another bench, making you smirk slightly.
hermione scolded you for scaring the other students, but you ignored her.
and instead of getting expelled earlier, harry had become the new 'seeker' of the gryffindor quidditch team. you had read some things about quidditch, but found it immensely stupid the idiot boy had gotten that role.
if it was anyone else and they weren't good at flying, they'd be expelled immediately without doubt.
biasness is one of your many pet-peeves. such a stupid thing.
you let out an aggravated breath as hermione ushers you up to go and talk to ron and hermione with her.
with a deathly glare, you pick kaburamaru up, slinging him around your neck and walking over to the two boys alongside hermione, both of which paused their conversation to glance at you in slight fear.
but hermione had heard their previous conversation, which seemed to consist of harry being worried he'd make a fool of himself in quidditch.
"you will-" you start, hermione cuts you off in a louder voice.
"you won't make a fool out of yourself. it's in your blood" hermione tells him while you just stand next to her, a deadpan look on your face at her cutting you off,
what? i'm telling the truth
hermione leads you all to a trophy shelf of sorts, sitting in it was a trophy for gryffindor house. it read 'james potter' as the seeker.
who? he sounds like an idiot
"woah, harry, you never told me your father was a seeker too!" ron awes.
you deadpan,
aren't his parents dead? of course he didn't know...
harry shakes his head with a small smile, "i didn't know.."
"I'M TELLIN' YOU, IT'S SPOOKY. SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT YOU THAN YOU DO"
you all were now walking up the flights of stairs, they were walking to their dorm room, but hermione had insisted, for some reason, that you had to accompany them all to their dorm.
you had no clue as to why, considering they were all 11 years old and should be mature enough to walk to their own room.
well, how much can you really expect from them i guess.
hermione, ron and harry gasp and hold onto the railing as the staircase starts to shift, "what's happening?" harry says worriedly.
"the staircase is moving, obviously. are you blind" you hiss sarcastically, harry and hermione wince slightly at your harsh tone and ron frowns, still questioning why a slytherin was with them.
"the staircases change, remember?" hermione sighs in a nicer tone than your own.
the staircase moves itself to another door, "let's go this way" harry says, "before the staircase moves again" ron adds on.
harry opens the door as you all walk in behind him, the door leads you to a dusty corridor of sorts. it was entirely empty, no sounds of footsteps and no chattering students. just an eerie silence.
the perfect space.
you would have to remember the location of this place.
any little crevice was covered in hordes of spiderwebs, giving the whole room a creepy vibe.
"does anybody feel.. like we shouldn't be here?"
"we're not supposed to be here" hermione scolds, "this is the third floor. it's forbidden!"
you look around.
everyone but you jumps as an empty totem pole suddenly gets lit on fire, you just turn to stare at it, blue and yellow eyes narrowing.
"let's go" harry says.
but as you all turn back, your interrupted by a meow, you look down, it was filch's cat.
you 'tsk',
of course these idiots get us caught
"it's filch's cat!" hermione whisper-shouts.
"no shit" you roll your eyes.
"run!" ron shouts, a lot less quiet.
they all run off down the hall, with each totem pole lighting itself up as you pass, you just walking behind them all.
"quick, let's hide through that door!" harry calls as you all approach a door sitting by the corner.
harry pulls at the handle, "it's locked!"
"that's it, we're done for!" ron says.
fucking idiot
"oh, move over!" hermione groans as she pushes harry out of the way and takes out her wand, "alohomora!"
the lock undoes itself as she opens the door and you all step in, "get in!"
ron closes the door behind the four of you, "alohomora?" he questions.
hermione nods, "standard book of spells, chapter seven"
after a minute of silence, hermione speaks again, "filch is gone"
you turn around, looking down.
you blink.
laying there was a massive, three headed dog.
you purse your lips, kaburamaru hugs tighter around your neck, hissing venomously.
"he thinks this door's locked" ron looks around the roof.
"it was locked"
"and for good reason" harry freezes.
the middle head yawns, a waft of nasty smelling breath washing over you all as the three heads start to stir, waking up. you grimace.
all three of them scream and dash out of the door, you just sighing and walking out after,
the three struggle to shut the door as the heads try and get through.
you push them to the side with an annoyed groan, kicking the door shut and locking it.
"see? not that hard"
they all run away from the door, you just following lazily and boredly behind.
the four walk off to their own dorm as you huff in annoyance, complaining to kaburamaru the whole way back to your own dorm.
