A Lion and a Snake

Chapter 16

Harry's POV

Draco didn't come into the dormitory that night. I couldn't say I wasn't worried. I wasn't able to fall asleep. So, at around one in the morning, I quit trying to fall asleep, grabbed my invisibility cloak, and started going to the Hospital Wing.

I was checking the Marauder's Map for people coming closer, and the little moving footsteps of Argus Filch were coming closer. So, I ducked into the unused classroom.

At least, I thought it was an unused classroom.

It wasn't. It was a simple room, with plain black walls. Except the walls weren't plain. They had some sort of design on them.

"Lumos." I whispered, walking over to the wall to examine the design.

It wasn't just a design, but a beautiful flowing script, naming people who had died fighting Voldemort.

Fred Weasley was the name I landed on. I couldn't look at the other names. I wasn't supposed to. If I did, the nightmares would get worse-they would be horrible. I wouldn't look at the names.

I looked at the names.

Draco's POV

When I woke up it was about one in the morning. Knowing that Madam Pomfrey would not let me leave, I decided to try to fall asleep again.

But as I closed my eyes, there was a nagging feeling at the back of my mind, telling me to get up. Telling me to leave.

I almost ignored it. I should've ignored it.

But I didn't ignore it.

I slipped out of bed and grabbed my wand, slipped on my shoes and padded softly toward the door, being as quiet as possible. I heard the light snoring of Madam Pomfrey stop. I froze.

Then the snoring continued, and I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. I opened the door carefully, trying to make it creak as little as possible.

Soon I was out the door and in the corridor. I walked quickly and was making my way back to the common room when I heard Peaves up ahead, cackling as he did something.

Knowing that I'd rather not get caught alone by Peaves when I was supposed to be in bed, I slipped into the room next to me.

It was a mostly empty room with black walls and a strange golden design on the walls.

"Lumos," I whispered, as I creeped closer to the wall.

Sirius Black was what the wall said. I raised my wand light and looked just above his name.

Heroes of the War was what the wall said. That's when I realized that I wasn't alone in the room.

I turned on my heel and walked toward the other wall, where I could see the wand light of another person.

"Harry," I sighed.
