Juliet Snape(ON HOLD)

Chapter 6

I forgot to apologise about my tardiness of my last chapter because my head was everywhere and I couldn't think of how I wanted it to be. (I'm a maniac just go with it!) sorry anyway, here's chapter 6!
-------------------------------------------------------

It had been a few weeks since Harry explained his last visit of Dobby and how we were going to join him instead of celebrating my first Halloween with the rest of Hogwarts, a death day party full of ghosts and misery seemed a better option.

As Harry, Ron, Hermione and I passed the Great Hall our stomachs moaned at the beautiful smell of the food we had to miss.

"Why are we going again?" Ron whined, for once I agreed with him. "Yeah! Seriously Harry."

Harry turned around and rolled his eyes at us both, like we were little children.

"Because we are going to be polite as Nick asked us to" This only caused us to sigh heavily. Earning us a famous Mione glare, I swear if she had a book on her she would be hitting us with it right now.

As we reached the party, Nearly Headless Nick almost died from excitement (No pun intended.) "Harry! You really came! And brought friends!" He hovered over to us, grinning.

"Do come in! Enjoy the party- if you'll excuse me" He rushed changing his conversation to another ghost. Talking of ghosts, as we looked around it seemed we were the only alive people in here, it was quite freaky to say the least.

We all walked up to the food table until the stench made us gag. "The food is mouldy!" Ron gasped, utterly disgusted.

"It has to be." The fat Friar sighed, picking up a piece of rotting cheese. "It has to be strong enough for us to taste it. It's not as good as the real thing but you must try it."

We all pulled fake smiles at the Friar to please him until he was gone. "Harry?" I said in a mock sweet voice. He turned around to me with a nervous look on his face.

"Next time you make promises, do not, NOT drag me into them when unnecessary" I growled, whilst both Ron and Hermione agreed I began pulling them out of there as quick as I could without being put into another conversation.

As we all walked out linked we began to laugh. "That was bloody terrible" Ron chuckled, shaking his head. "And I'm starving."

"Kitchens?" I suggested as we were walking suddenly Harry stopped.

"Do you hear that?" He asked us sternly.

"Hear what?"

"The voices! It's going to kill again!"

Harry sprinted down the corridor and we had no other choice than to follow him to find out what he was going to find. He stopped not far from the Great Hall and looked at his feet, I just about caught up to him.

I was about to speak again until I had to cover my mouth to stop myself from either screaming or swearing a lot. On the floor in front of me was Penelope Clearwater, petrified.

"This time, we are going before anyone--"

Though it was to late, the feast was over and students came pouring out of the Great Hall, until someone spotted her. The scream of the girl attracted many people around us, making an accusing circle around us.

"It's always us" I smiled a little, I'm not quite sure how many times you can be caught next to a petrified body before you can also become a suspect.

"Students! Return to your dorms immediately" Headmaster Dumbledore yelled over the noise, as they all hastily left Harry stepped forward.

"S-sir" he stuttered. "I-it wasn't us, we-"
