Childhood Friend (A Harry Potter Fan-Fiction) Book 2 Harry Potter X Male OC

Chapter 8: Hearing...things

Professor Lockhart's office, evening

Me and Harry was sitting with Professor Lockhart working near a candlelight at an ornate desk. We was addressing envelopes, while cheery Lockhart put his signature to the stack of glossy photos bearing his image.

"Boys, boys, boys... Can you possibly imagine a better way to serve detention than by helping me answer my fan mail?" Lockhart said smiling

Harry forces a smile as I muttered.

"Yeah...cleaning cauldron"

"What was that, Leon?" He asked me

"Oh. Nothing sir" I said forcing a smile

"Fame a fickle friend, boys. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that." Harry nods and I looked at him confused and rolled my eyes as Harry glanced gloomily at the towering stack of envelopes that remain. I dipped my quill, I start to write... when a chilly voice fills the room.

"Come... come to me..."

"What?" I said in unison with Harry and I looked at him

"I was saying, six solid months at the top of the bestseller list! Broke all records!" Lockhart ranted about himself

"No... not you, that... voice." Harry says

"Voice?" Lockhart said confused

"You heard it...right?" Harry asked me

"Yeah..."

Harry looked at Lockhart. "That... voice. Didn't you hear it?"

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

"Spooky" Harry says

"Yes...when one having fun"

Harry looks at me and shakes his head

Night, Me and Harry are walking the corridor, quickly passing through the lengthening shadows of the empty corridor.

"Blood... I smell blood." A voice said

Me and Harry stopped cold, looking around for the source of the voice.

"Are you saying that?" Harry asked

"Harry...tell me...do I sound like anything like that?"

Harry shakes his head as the voice spoke again

"Let me rip you... let me kill you..."

Me and Harry step to the wall, playing our fingers along the stone, then beginning walking, slowly at first, then more quickly, as if following something, moving faster and faster, rounding the corner and coming face to face with Hermione and Ron.

"Leon! Harry!" Hermione said

"Did you hear it?" Me and Harry said in unison

"Hear what?" Ron asked

"That... voice." I say

"Voice? What voice?" Hermione asked

We both darted our eyes around to make sure nobody was listening.

"We first heard it In Lockhart's office and then again, just-" Harry said being cut off

"Kill... Time to kill..." Me and Harry was stiffed

"It's moving." I said

"I think it's going to...kill." Harry said nervously and curious we both started running off.
