hey guys, so i know parts of my last chapter were a bit, dark. i just want you to know that i am always here if you need to talk. my snapchat is; maddy-holcomb my instagram is; maddy.holcomb and you can pm me for my number <3
this morning was different. it wasn't mione waking me because i slept in, it was me waking her. i hardly slept, what she said the night before was eating at me. i know it's not a big deal, but does draco really actually like me? whatever. it's not a big deal.
we burst through the great hall's doors. everyone seemed to be there, only a few empty seats. i stole a seat in between fred and george, across from ron, harry, and mione. "seems like you girls are late, again." fred mused.
"oh shut it, you bloody wanker." i rolled my eyes. glancing to the slytherin table and saw draco already looking at me. i smiled, earning one back.
"ugh, stop that," harry groaned. i just looked down with a frown, bringing a strawberry up to my mouth.
the months go on and on, the same damn old routine. we were in the hall. people have been being petrified left and right. mione just got petrified. but, she had a paper about a snake called a basilisk in her palm. helping greatly. harry and ron decided to head back to the common room, it was getting late. i wanted to learn more on the basilisk. we're pretty sure that myrtle's bathroom, but we must be positive.
i decided i was sick of this bollucks. i had to investigate for myself. so, on a chilly early spring evening i went to creep in myrtle's bathroom. she was the student that was killed the last time she chamber was opened. she must have answers. "i knew you would be coming for a visit sooner or later" i heard her high-pitched tone.
"obviously. my friends are being hurt. you know what it's like myrtle. please, for once instead of playing games and tricks, give me some answers." i cried out. "where is the entrance. you have to know." she took a long pause after hearing my plea.
"the sink, the one that needs more mending than the others." she paused again, "be careful, y/n. it really is dangerous. terrifying even." she then disappeared in the same toilet she came out of.
'it has to open somehow' i thought to myself. i see a tiny snake engraved in the sink, and remember the way harry could talk to the snake at the zoo and in dueling club. i don't know if i can do it.
"open." i said. in my mind, it sounded normal. but in the mirror, the way my lips moved, it couldn't have been. i found the sink transforming into a passageway, and was sliding down. there was a really long tunnel that opened into a dungeon-like room. much scarier than the slytherin dungeons. i really wish i had asked someone to come with me. most likely draco, considering he's a slytherin and all, he might not be petrified. i am technically a half blood considering my mum was the only witch on her side, but i still don't understand why that shit matters. even if a pureblood marries a muggle or muggle-born, their child will still be a wizard or witch. squib or not.
the was a hissing sound. i could definitely hear it. it started turning into a voice.
"who is thissssss" with a lisp. then i saw it. the basilisk. sharp teeth, huge body, it was terrifying. and then, it happened i was frozen. i could not move one bit. but, i could still hear and see everything. i don't think i'm dead. i just saw it's eyes in the puddle on the concrete ground. it's tail whipped me back up, now i'm laying in the bathroom on the cold stone floor. my body stiff as a block of wood. i laid there for what i would assume was for hours.
mcgonagall found me on her morning rounds. she screamed louder than i have ever heard anyone scream before. she ran out and came back seconds later with all the professors. lockhart was still fucking trying to fix it. but he did nothing. he is more fake than pansy's nose.
now here i lay in the hospital wing, on a bed next to mione. draco visits every single day. it reminds me of before. some nights madam pomfrey lets him stay the night. i never feel it, but i always see him lay his hand in mine. he only removes it whenever someone else is visiting me. but his eyes never leave me, this look or utter hopelessness in his eyes.
when will i wake up?
*i am sorry for any errors, i will be proof-reading later. on another note, i ordered a draco blanket😋
