Teddy's Daughter (A Harry Potter fanfic)

Chapter Three

Alright, here is chapter 3! Not amazing, but things start to get more interesting in this chapter. As always, tell me about any spelling/ grammar errors (Though I proofread a lot), and enjoy! Also, next chapter up soon, don't give up on me!

---------------------------------------------------

"So, what do you want to do?" Claire asked the next morning after breakfast.

"Explore Hogwarts! I'm sure there are hidden passages somewhere in this place!" Replied Kaylee in a that's-so-obvious kind of way. 

"That sounds good, as long as we don't have to explore our class rooms. We'll be spending enough time in them." Claire abruptly stood and sprinted out of the great hall. Confused, Ally, Kaylee, and I ran after her. We found her standing stock still, staring upward. I tilted my head up and gasped in shock. At least twenty ghosts soared above our heads, pearly white and shimmering in the early morning sunlight. 

We gawked at the ghosts until they had moved on. "Come on guys, we  should get a move on too! Exploring?" Kaylee reminded us. 

The first floor had nothing interesting at all. Neither did the second.

We were about to head up to the third when Kaylee burst out "Guys, this is so lame! We're hardly looking! A secret passage way has got to be pretty secret hasn't it?" She ran up to a hunched over, one-eyed witch statue next to the stairs. "We have to check every statue, knight, and pillar! I know there's one here somewhere!" 

As she slipped behind the statue Claire and Ally headed over to a knight against the opposite wall and began to check it out. I followed Kaylee. She was now knocking on the stone.

"Open up! Anything there?" She was yelling to the statue. Claire and Ally came over, as they saw nothing in the knight and were wondering what all the commotion was. 

"Going somewhere?" 

Ally screamed. Claire ran across the corridor and tried to dive behind the knight, but ended up knocking it over. It clattered to the floor, taking Claire with it. 

My head snapped up to look at the speaker.

"Woah, sorry guys, didn't mean to scare you. I'm John Weasley. Seventh year. And your not going to get in like that." John leaned over. "Tap your wand to the statue and say dissendium. If anyone asks, you didn't hear it from me." He whispered.

"No we didn't!" Kaylee agreed. "But how did you know?"

"My dad, George told me. But you don't know that either. I've gotta run. Be careful." 

"We will! Thanks so much!" Kaylee called as John ran down the corridor. She then pulled out her wand. "Dissendium!" she cried tapping the statue.

"Kaylee! No! We don't know what's back there!" Claire screamed, untangling herself from the knight and standing it back up. Then she gasped.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Kaylee asked, ignoring Claire and putting a foot into the tunnel that had appeared.

"No, we are not going in there!" Claire complained as Ally and I followed Kaylee into the tunnel. Claire sighed and gave in, entering the tunnel behind us. 

It was dark and musty in the tunnel, and after an hour of walking I began to feel a little hopeless. 

"There's nothing down here. We've probably just been going in circles!" I complained.

"Shhh!" Kaylee hushed me. "I see a light." She sprinted forward and lifted a trapdoor in the ceiling. "Look guys!"

We ran to Kaylee. "This is Honeydukes!" Ally whispered excitedly, looking around. "Just the basement I think, though."

We slipped through the trapdoor and crept up to the main floor of Honeydukes. "Ohhhh, we shouldn't be here!" Claire fretted. 

"It's fine Claire! Where is the Gryffindor in you?" Kaylee asked. At that Claire seemed to stand a little taller, and even waved at costumers.

"I'm thirsty, and I've been here a million times. Lets go get Butterbeers.They never get old." Ally suggested. "Then we should probably head back."

We left Honeydukes and strolled down the streets of Hogsmead, laughing and talking like we had known each other our entire lives, when in reality it had only been a day. But oddly, I already felt like I could tell these girls anything, and could tell they felt the same towards me. 

"I could do all these weird things, my brother thought I was mental, when I was really just a witch! He had me really scared for a while." Kaylee was saying. "See there was this one time-"

"Avada Kedavra" a woman's yell cut Kaylee off. The woman was finely dressed, and had  a superior air about her that suggested she shouldn't be messed with. A green jet of light shot from the lady's wand. Two little boys watched in horror as their mother screamed and flailed. The mother fell to the ground, lifeless. Her boys ran to her side, sobbing and screaming for their mom. 

"The killing curse." Ally whispered.

The finely dressed woman laughed a cold, haughty laugh. 

I was suddenly yanked backwards into an ally. A gloved hand smacked over my mouth as I tried to scream. Diagon Ally started swaying in front of me and I blacked out.
