The Snake Twins || Book Two: The Chamber of Secrets

VI

Archer awoke and bolted upright, only to see that she and her brother were in some sort of hospital room. A woman walked over, her face stern and cold, eyes filled with suspision. "So, you're finally awake." She said coldly. "Where are we?" Archer asked the woman. "In the Hospital Wing at Hogwarts. You missed the Sorting Ceremony. And most of dinner." The woman replied, narrowing her eyes. Archer slid out of the bed she was on, and hissed from the pain in her legs. "What happened to me. . ." Archer asked, mostly to herself. 
She looked over at Harry and saw that he was out cold. "What happened to Harry?" Archer demanded, turning to look at the stern matron. "You tell me." She said, her voice cold.

"What do you mean?" Archer asked, confused. "Dumbledore brought you two in here, saying that he found you two in an abandoned classroom, both of you passed out, Harry twitching nonstop, and you with your wand in your hand. He said you used a forbiddon spell on Harry. So, Ms. Potter," The matron stated, taking a breath. "Can the old man be trusted? And what did you really do to Mr. Potter?" She asked, looking into Archer's ruby eyes. Archer's eyes widened, she would never, ever hurt her brother. Ever.
"I would never hurt him!" She yelled, holding herselft up with the bed. The matron closed her eyes and sighed. "Then what really happened, Ms. Potter?" She asked softly. Archer tried to remember, but couldn't. Only one thing came to mind. . . 

Where is it?

"I. . . I can't remember." Archer said, which was only half true. The matron sighed, but nodded her head. "Very well. When your brother wakes up, I will give you two something to keep the burning away, then you're free to go to dinner." She said. And, as if on cue, Harry opened his eyes, sitting up. "What happened. . . And why do I feel like I got hit by a truck?" He asked. Archer made her way slowly over to Harry, wincing as she felt like every inch of her was on fire. Harry looked concerned as he watch his sister walk over him and practically collaps on the bed.
The matron shook her head and walked off, comeing back with two vials.

"Drink these," She started. The twins took the vials and Archer looked at her sceptically. "It will make you feel better. Now drink." And with that, the matron walked off. Harry and Archer looked at each other and Harry raised his vial. "Bottoms up." He said, then drank the blue liquid. Archer did the same, and they instantly felt better. The two stood up and walked down to the Great Hall for the rest of dinner.

The Hall stopped talking as the two doors swung open, and a very mad Archer stormed in, Harry looking equally as mad, but didn't have his magic swirling around him. Eden stood up immedantly, and Dumbledore paled. "You." Archer said, narrowing her eyes. She took out her wand and walked up to Dumbledore. "Who the FUCKING HELL DID YOU SEND TO TORTURE US?!" She shouted, her face slowly morphing into a snake-hybrid. Harry's eyes were slits by now, and his canines started to get longer. Eden looked enraged and walked over to to the old man, pulling him up by his robes. "You. Did. WHAT?" She said, her blue eyes starting to turn golden.
The entire Hall was quiet as the students and teachers watched the scene unfold. 

"I. . . I h-have no clue w-what you're t-talking about!" Dumbledore stuttered out. Lilith walked up to Archer and brought her into a hug. "Let's let you calm down. Eden will handle this." She whispered to her dearest friend. Lilith walked out, making sure Archer didn't turn around. Draco walked to Harry and did the same thing. And no-one saw Hermione slip out as well.

Lilith's POV:

I walk Archer out of the Hall and turn into an abandoned classroom, then shut the door. I turn to look at Archer and sighed. She looked so interesting. . . Yet very terrifying at the same time. "Archer. . . ?" I ask slowly. I didn't bother putting up a sheild, knowing she wouldn't hurt me. . . 'I hope. . .' I think, but shake the thought away. Archer looked at me, her gem-like eyes cold and distant, unlike their normal bright and kind look. "What the hell do you want." She snaps at me. I flinch slightly. "Can I speak to my kind friend. . . Please?" I ask, hoping that something else was speaking.
"You are speaking to me, idiot." Archer hisses at me. Her face was turning back to normal. 'It's working!' I think. "Then can you calm down?" I ask, walking up to her. That was a bad idea. 

She moves extremely fast, pinning me to a wall and staring into my own golden eyes. "Why should I, huh?" She tighten her grip around my wrists, her nails digging into my flesh, almost drawing blood. "Archer. . . Please. . ." I beg. I hate being weak, espessially around my crush. Archer smirks, but her eyes were still slits. She lets go of me, and watches me crash to the ground. She walks up and lifts my head up to look at her. Never in my life have I felt so weak and powerless. Her magic was so strong I could see it.
If I thought I knew power, I was wrong.

Draco's POV:

I pull Harry into an alcove and hold him tight. I felt him stiffen up, but eventually gave in, letting me hold him. I pet his hair gently, gaining a small hiss of aprovement. I chuckle slightly, but was snapped back to reality when we both hear a loud crash coming from a classroom. We rush towards the noise and Harry opens the door. I gasp upon seeing the scene.
Lilith was laying on a broken table, blood dripping from her head, scratch marks lining her face. Archer was standing above her, clutching her head. I hear a small hiss and see Harry doing the same. 'What the bloody hell is going on. . .' I think.
