A horn sounded in the distance and a flash of lights came racing forwards. A blue Ford was driving recklessly through the woods and towards Harry, Ron and Darah. It crashed through the spiders that span up into the air and scurried out of the way.

'Wait is that... actually who cares, get in!' Darah shouted to Harry and Ron and they hurried into the car.
'Drive. Drive!'

The car's engine revved and started to take off when a spider jumped at the window and smashed it grabbing its scrawny legs around Ron's neck.

Ron flailed for air as the spider took ahold of him, crushing his throat. Harry and Darah looked around for a tool to help because there was no way bare hands were going to work.

Darah spotted something in the seat next to her, a book. She picked it up and lent forwards to the front, smacking the book right on the spider's legs. It squealed and released its grasp, falling from the window.

The car instantly sped off, away from the forest as fast as possible.

'Gee thanks.' Ron blushed, rubbing his neck gently in circles. 'I've been wondering where that book had gotten to.'

Darah looked at the cover of the book. 'Potions?' She looked up at Ron and handed him the book. 'Maybe you should take it before Snape gives you any more detentions.' She laughed.

'Ok guys, now is not the time. There won't be anymore detentions unless we can get these spiders off our trail.' Harry looked out the window at the masses of spiders still chasing them.

The car sped through the forest, even more recklessly. Eventually they made it out just behind Hagrid's hut.

Then the car doors banged open and ejected the three of them out. They fell back onto the floor as they watched the blue Ford drive away again.

'Dad's gonna kill me.' Ron shook his head disappointingly.

The three of them got up and started to head back to the castle under the cloak.

'I'm never hanging out with Gryffindors ever again.' Darah said, trying to interpret everything that just happened.

'But you have to admit we're better than Slytherins.' Ron wiggled his eyebrows at her and Darah scoffed.

'Well we know one thing. Hagrid never opened the chamber of secrets.' Harry said thinking out loud.

'And a girl died in a bathroom?' Darah said trying to process Aragog's words too.

As she said that Ron and Harry looked at each other with their eyes wide. 'You don't think...'
'Myrtle!'
