A Fucking Basilisk

[Harry gulps and turns toward the statue again as he hears an ominous snarling that appears to be coming from inside the statue and hyperventilates; Riddle turns to face the statue's mouth as the Basilisk shrieks "Hungry!" from within the statue. The stone slab concealing the statue's mouth stops descending; a split second afterwards, the Basilisk emerges from the darkness and starts to come into the light, growling menacingly.]

Each pale face watches, terror-ridden, fear seeping through their veins. Arms wrapp solely around loved ones squeezing, sound in the knowledge that their people remained beside them no matter the past terrors displayed on screen.

[Harry throws the Sorting Hat onto the floor in front of Abigail grabbing Aurora's hand as Fawkes sails off and they race back towards the door to the Chamber as the Basilisk's head comes out of the statue's mouth and its snake-like body lowers into the surrounding water; Riddle, immune to the Basilisk's lethal gaze, watches the creature.]

Riddle: Sethae- He- This! (Kill them!) [turns his attention to the fleeing Potters as the Basilisk's body curves to its right behind it] Parseltongue won't save you now, Potters. [the Basilisk's tail drops into the water behind him] It only obeys me!

Hands squeezed, children caught carelessly between their parents begging arms.

[The Basilisk slithers after the twins with a ferocious growl. The two of them race down the corridor as fast as they can while the Basilisk is in hot pursuit; unfortunately, Harry loses his footing on the slippery floor and trips, Aurora swiftly pulls him from the fall as she squeezes her eyes shut. The Basilisk is catching up with then. Harry's glasses clatter to the floor in front of him; he immediately puts them back on as Aurora realises the Basilisk is right above him and covers his head with her hands.]

[Just as the Basilisk is about to swoop down and attack them, Fawkes emits his cry, getting their attention. Fawkes swoops down, going directly for the Basilisk, and attacks the colossal snake, pecking at it, with Harry observing their fight by watching their shadows on the wall.]

Ron smirks shaking his head, "Stupid bird," he mumbled to himself, hand never leaving Hermione's yet lightening the mood to each ear around him as he woefully watched his friends risk their lives once more.

Riddle: No! Your bird may have blinded the Basilisk, but it can still hear you.

[The camera turns around to show that the Basilisk's yellow eyes are bloody. The Basilisk thrashes around furiously as Fawkes flies off; Aurora pulls Harry to his feet, and pulls him backwards, stepping into something slimy, causing a splattering sound; Harry looks down to see what he stepped in.]

[At the same time, the Basilisk stops thrashing about and blindly glares at the twins. Harry looks up again and makes a run for a passageway to his right, Aurora behind him. The Basilisk lunges at Aurora, who's lagging behind, nearly getting her. Harry, breathing heavily, wraps his arm around Aurora's waist, picking her up then he runs as fast as he can, into a tunnel just to his left as the Basilisk lunges at them again, smashing through a stalactite.]

Smiling at one an other from the ever-waiting arms of James and Lily, the twins felt no fear at all, the Basilisk was merely a memory, something they'd grown to lear a lot about, something haunting that corrupted each moment of life. As though dark black ink was seeping into the pages of their mind corrupting them. Bleeding between them, however this new blackened mark was to turn into something truly beautiful.

[Harry runs through the tunnel, as Aurora looks back to see if the Basilisk is still behind them; they turn left into an alcove, only to find their path blocked by a grate. Putting Aurora down, Harry struggles to move the grate, but turns around upon hearing the Basilisk coming into the tunnel, grasping Aurora's hand. He steps back against the grate, holding his sister close as the Basilisk comes to his position.]
