The Slytherin princess

Chapter 27 // too many visions

Hermione's POV

When I got to the bathroom, Potter, Weasley and Lockhart were already there, they had Lockhart by wand point

"Harry, say something in Parseltongue" ah, they're trying to get into the chamber already, good.

Potter said something I obviously couldn't understand before the Bathroom sinks began to move away from each other and the one they stood in front of sunk into the floor to create an opening

"um... excellent harry ah, good work well then, I'll just be uh... there's no need for me to stay!" he tried making a run for it

"yes, there is" Potter grunted and pushed him back, nearly pushing him down the pipe

"you first"

"now boys, what good will It do?" a lot of good, actually

"Better you than us" we might have a Slytherin in the making over here, Weasley

"um, but... obviously. Yes" Lockhart turned around, ready for the jump but as the coward, he is he turned his overly large head towards the duo "are you sure you don't wanna test it first?" Weasley kicked him in, looks like they didn't

"it's really, quite filthy down here" Lockhart's voice echoed up

"all right, let's go"

"ah, Potter" they turned to face me as I walked inside the light, they turned their wands on me

"don't be foolish, you know I could take both of you on and tie my shoelaces at the same time, I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to help" both of them glanced towards each other and then me sceptically "what? You think you're doing this without me?" I scoffed "idiots, I was left out last time and you lot got all the credit, now it's my turn, move" I pushed them out of the way

"Weasel, you first, I don't want to be left down there" Weasley jumped inside reluctantly

"see ya Potter" I turned to face him on the edge of the pipe and fell backwards, for some dramatics, why not?

The pipe smelled awful, like sick and dead animals, gross. But it was a fun ride I have to admit, it reminded me of something I had read before about muggles, the book was called

- what muggles do for fun –

They called it a 'rollercoaster' it was some kind of contraption that they sat in and it moved them around in fun directions

When I got to the bottom I fell onto a load of skeletons?

"EW, EW, EW, EW, EW" I shouted jumping up and trying to wipe the skeleton juice (which I later learnt isn't a thing) from my clothes

"oh stop whining Zabini," Weasel said after standing up

"fuck off- oh hi professor, fancy seeing you here," I said with an innocent smile

"what are you doing here Ms Zabini?"

I stood there for a few seconds, pretending to look around in amazement "I thought this was the common room, my mistake" I laughed "oh go sod yourself you fraud I can't begin to tell you how much I want to shove my wand up your arse until it hits your brain 'Professor'" he looked frightened, good

"all right, shut it Zabini your down here so your with us for the next merlin knows how long, remember, any sign of movement, close your eyes straight away" Potter and I jumped onto a pipe thing and started walking

"since when are pipes this big? And made of stone?" I huffed as we kept walking through the never-ending tunnels until I saw something

"what's this?" Weasley asked
