Carina Malfoy//h.potter

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The very next morning you could see the pale figure of Carina Malfoy running around the corridors trying to get to the Headmaster's office. Out of the blue, a voice called her, "Cara! Cara, wait!"

Recognizing the voice of her brother, she stopped running and turned towards him slightly panting. Draco Malfoy slowed down as he reached her and he started question her as he wiped his sweat of his forehead "Parkinson told me that you suddenly rushed away from the dorm-room, is everything alright?"

Carina shook her head and replied with a hushed tone "I know what the beast is."

Draco's eyebrows shot up, his gray eyes widen and his mouth opened in wonder "The Chamber of Secret's beast? That kind of beast you're talking about?"

She nodded her head "It's a Basilisk."she stated then she tried to run once again as she spoke "I have to find Dumbledore."

However Draco stepped forward preventing her from walking any further "Wait, wait a minute!"he said with his hand's up stopping her from making any move "How are you so sure that it's a Basilisk?"

Carina stared at her brother in dismayed "You don't believe me?" 

Draco rolled his eyes, "Of course I believe you, you stupid girl. What I meant to say is what's the evidence that the monster is a Basilisk? What kind of proof do you have for Dumbledore to believe you?" he paused watching his sister comprehend his words then starting again "A Basilisk is a literally huge snake, Cara. Where could such a creature hide that nobody noticed it?"

Carina huffed in frustration. Draco was right. What could she possibly say o Dumbledore to justify her words? Because of the Basilisk's portrait in the Slytherin's Common Room? She could already see Dumbledor's blue eyes glinting in amusement and Snape's face sneering down at her.

Draco put his hand on her shoulder "I promise you that we'll search for evidence later, Now we ought to go and cheer for Cedric in his match against Gryffindor."

Carina had an unsure look in her face. Draco shook his head as he urged her to walk towards the Quidditch field "Come on Cara! It's not like another attack will happen..."

The Malfoy twins joined the large crowd swarming across the grounds. They found seats next to Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott, who greeted them nodding.

When the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff teams walked onto the field, the crowd around Carina bust out into tremendous applause. The Gryffindor Captain flied around the goal post for warm up, Madam Hooch released the balls, the Hufflepuffs were having a last minute conversation as did the Gryffindors. 

Cedric rose his head and looked at the Slytherin stands and waved as he grinned towards the Malfoy twins whom waved back mouthing at him a "Good Luck. Although, Carina felt a piercing stare across her head, she searched around to meet the emerald eyes of Harry Potter who quickly averted his eyes as he mounted his broom.

 They were about to begin the game, however, Professor McGonagall came half marching and half running across the pitch carrying an enormous purple megaphone with her "This match has been canceled!" called Mcgonagall though the megaphone, addressing the stadium.

Boos and shouts were heard around Carina who turned to  her brother as they exchanged a look of puzzlement. The Gryffindor Captain was devastated and run towards his Head, but she ignored him and continued to shout "All students are to make their way back to the House Common Rooms, where their Head of Houses will give them further information. As quickly as you can please!"
