Games with Death

Chapter : 03

It was finally time for break and both Ariana and Felix approached Harry to show him around.

' Oh, hey! You guys must be Ariana and Felix, right? ' Harry asked with his usual deep voice.

' Yep, that's who we are. Now let's go and show you around the building a bit. I'm telling you, this place is pretty big which is really good if you like playing pranks on people. ' Felix said smiling broadly.
' Oii, Ariana, knock knock. ' Felix said as they were walking around.

' Oh god Felix, who's there? '

' Cow.'

' Cow who? '

' No, you're wrong. It's cow goes boo. ' Felix finished and started laughing immediately.

' Now let me tell you a better one which is also a fact. ' Ariana said. ' Knock knock. '

' Who's there? '

' Dishes. '

' Dishes who? '

' Dishes a very very bad joke. ' and now both Ariana and Harry were laughing while Felix was pouting and muttering and muttering ' whatever ' under his breath.

' So, both of you are a fan of knock knock jokes? ' Harry asked.

' Not me. It's mostly Felix with his stupid knock knock jokes. ' Ariana answered giving Felix a teasing smile.

They roamed around many places until they reached the fifth floor. Nothing much was there to see except for one room.

' See that corridor right there? At the end of it, right beside the chemistry lab is a room which the school for some reason says is forbidden. We asked many times, but no one other than the principal knows why it is forbidden for all. Me and Ariana did try to get in once but couldn't and almost got caught by Mr. Jelly. He is the guy who guards the door and as he said, makes sure no idiot gets in. ' Felix finished by mimicking Mr. Jelly's voice and making it sound deeper and more serious.

' Really? That's weird. Wanna try and see if this Mr. Jelly is there today or not? ' Harry questioned them. ' Like c'mon you guys got me curious now. '

' Good lord, here you go Felix. You got yourself another best friend right here, who is planning on breaking the biggest school rule on his very first day.' Ariana said and Harry couldn't help but smile.

Three of them, then slowly walked along the corridor towards the room making sure no one was suspecting them or anything. All, hesitant at first, but seeing that there was actually no one, Harry stepped forward. The door creaked as he opened it enough for them to get in.

' Ok, there has so be a reason this room is forbidden. Plus I have no intentions of visiting the principal. ' Ariana whispered, scared as they were entering. ' How come Mr. Jelly is not here today? '

' God knows. ' Felix said shrugging his shoulders. ' You know, maybe Mr. " Jelly " is " wobbling " around somewhere else. Get it??'

' This is not the time for you to joke around. ' Ariana scolded.

The room was completely black, and the smell was really weird. A few things came into view as the light from Harry's flash hit it. On one corner,they could see a dusty wooden table with a chair which had a leg broken. And on the other side, there were many small boxes all on top of each other creating a wall.

' I still don't get why this room is forbi —— ' Ariana was cut off as three of them turned around with a start because of some noises coming from behind the boxes.

' What the freakin' hell was that? ' Felix looked around confused.

Harry, after a while, turned around, and slowly went towards the table. The dust was almost turning the wood white. On one side, there was a crumpled piece of what looked like very old paper.

Felix almost jumped as the sound of the bell suddenly hit their ears. ' Oh Jesus Christ! That legit gave me a heart attack. ' Felix said breathing heavily with his hand on his chest.

Harry quickly put the paper in his pocket. ' We gotta go quickly.'

' Yea we better go before we end up with the principal. ' Ariana said as she was slowly opening the door enough for them to get out.

Once away from the door..the three of them ran again to their classes.
