Not Slytherin, Eh? | Drarry |

Frantic Fred

As soon as the food disappeared off the table Harry was up and walking out the doors. He barely even made it three steps before he was pushed rather harshly into a wall by Hermione who was trying to be supportive and give him a hug. It felt more like being attacked by the gigantic squid in the Black lake, but it's the thought that counts.

"Hermione...You're breaking him." Ron mumbled as he to pressed himself against the wall next to the two as the crowd of students rushed out.

"I'm was just worried...you looked so mad, even some of the Slytherins were scared." Hermione said regaining her composure.

"Now you're worried." Ron muttered bitterly, nudging the two and nodding at Fred and George who walked down the hall George cradling the egg like a baby.

"It's probably just a chicken egg...probably nicked it from the kitchens." Hermione sniffed glaring at their retreating forms.

"Still can't believe they got resorted into Slytherin." Said Ron.

But Harry wasn't listening at this point. Even over all the commotion and noise of students bustling to their common rooms he'd heard a voice, a quiet almost muffled whisper although it was quite clear. He strained his ears to try and catch another whisper but it was gone.

"I can, with all there sneaking around and rule breaking...I'm surprised they managed to get into Gryffindor in the first place." Hermione said once again slight distain clear in her voice.

"You're just mad that you managed to set off every one of their traps that they set for Snape." Said Ron with a grin.

"Shut up Ronald." Said Hermione, saying his name pointedly.

"Trouble in paradise?" Malfoy asked as he shoved his way past the few remaining students.

"Shove off Malfoy." Ron growled at the blonde, Hermione placing a calming hand on his shoulder.

Harry didn't pay the confrontation much mind as he tried to slip away unscathed so he could find the source of the voice. He needed to as the last time he had been hearing voices people nearly died. He didn't get very far though as a boy stepped in front of him.

He was a Gryffindor, Harry knew that much from seeing the tall and rather burley sixth around the common room. Perhaps he was on the back-up team as a beater Harry started to muse until he felt a finger poke him in the chest.

He didn't really hear what the guy was saying as another whisper caught his attention but based on the fist that collided with the boy's jaw, it had to have been bad. He turned to see a seething Ron clutching his soon to be bruised fist. Although it was short lived as another fist went flying; this time from Goyle who took a swing at Ron.

Harry watched on as Ron staggered for a second. Luckily before any of the oafs could get really riled up Hermione had them in a full body bind. Of course, at this moment Snape decided to stalk up.

"10 points from Gryffindor for vulgar language Mr. Sunther, another 10 points for striking a fellow student Mr. Weasley, and yet another 10 points for casting a spell on not one but two students...Now Mr. Malfoy, please make sure Mr. Potter gets to his dorm; No sneaking off to Gryffindor tower." Snape drawled almost as if he was bored before stalking off, his robes billowing behind him as they usually did.

Before anyone could so much as utter a word; Harry found himself being dragged off by a frantic Fred Weasley. Without his twin brother George which had Harry instantly concerned. He tried to decipher his mutterings, but Hermione's shouting and Rons cursing easily drowned it out. And based on the footsteps alone he guessed Malfoy was following them.

Fred only stopped dragging Harry by the front of his robes when they had reached their destination no matter how many times Hermione and Ron tried to get his attention. They stopped in front of what Harry recognized to be Moaning Myrtles bathroom.

"It hatched...I was trying to calm down Myrtle...They've both been froze by the damn snake!" Fred exclaimed a wild look in his eye.

"a Basilisk...the egg, it was a chicken egg...Fred NO!! you can't go in there!" Hermione screeched when Fred tried to open the door.

"George is in there!" He practically begged.

"There's a basilisk in the school..." Malfoy muttered catching the attention of Ron who seemed to realize the blonde's intentions of snitching and quickly grabbed a handful of blonde gelled up hair.

Harry could hear it, barely over all the yelling. He pushed past them and reached for the door handle only to have Hermione try and drag him away.

"Hermione..." He whined ripping his wrist from her grasp.

"It's dangerous...we should get Dumbledore." Said Hermione sternly.

"I'll be fine, I'm the best suited for this sort of thing." Harry said pointedly.

Hermione stared at him for a long moment before she had to rush and pry Fred away from the door again.

"Fine...just keep your eyes closed...I will kill you if you die." She hissed at him. Harry nodded at her closed his eyes and stepped inside.
