The Eyes of the Heir

From the moment I received my letter from Hogwarts when I was eleven, I knew then that studying in a school filled with magic and mistery would bring adventures and mischief in my life.

But what I didn't know was that in a world full of magic and madness, I'd be in so much danger.

Just like now.

I was stuck in a chamber hidden in the girls lavatory, Death and I were pressed against a cold, damp wall as the biggest snake I have ever seen slithered its way to us. I was shaking with fear, afraid that if it sensed that I was just in front of it, it would easily sink its humongous fangs at me, poisoning me with immense speed.

I wouldn't worry about Death though, because he's immortal and cannot die.

Tears were flowing down my eyes mercilessly as the basilisk moved closer. I felt Death's arms around my waist tighten as he pressed us further on the wall even though there wasn't any space left to go further.

"Do not breathe" I heard Death say in my mind.

I didn't breathe, and I made sure that I didn't make a single sound, yet my heart seems to betray me as it felt like it was exploding in my chest.

Can anyone save us from this monstrous snake?
