I always have a habit of hoping things didn't turn into a wrong way that sometimes I can't really hide how anxious am I. That's why I was a horrible actor. No matter hard I try hard to act normal, sometimes other people can't help but notice how strange I am acting.
" Ronald, I've noticed that you've been acting strange this week."
While reading a book, I flipped it to the next page. " I'm just anxious, for the exams."
" Does keep looking at the Slytherin table shows your sign of anxiousness ?"
".. No." I muttered and glance at Ernie who was displeased by my behavior.
" You're always like to stare at the Slytherin Table, specifically for someone. " He whispered beside me, My other friends has heard what he said and laughed.
" It's true, even through you dislike hearing about him, you always stare at his seat."
" you're really strange Ronald. "
" We're curious why you don't like hearing about him but you also don't want to be left out about his situation."
" can't we talk about it? " I asked while we are currently in the Hufflepuff common room.
We are reviewing notes and books that time before the exams when they asked me. I shouldn't have ignore that matter. Children were curious creatures. Since I was usually interested in Harry Potter but didn't like encountering him, they couldn't help but find it interesting. It was like a mystery that they wanted to discover.
Now after looking at the result of the exam and finding them missing in the Hufflepuff Common Room, I made my way to the Third Floor Corridor. I haven't still made my way towards the secret passage. I don't know which way it was. During these times, the Marauder's map would be very helpful.
The things that Cedric have said to me didn't alleviated my worry. Instead, it made me more worried and anxious for them. The heck are they thinking?! Following Quirrel? My God, those kids are courting death! Through I'm sure that they don't know that Quirrel pose a danger to their Safety and Life. Anyway, The Matter of Harry Potter stopping Quirrelmort from getting the Philosopher Stone should happened the Previous Week. I waited and I know that another thing plot has changed. When the end of Previous week, no news of Accident has make their way through my ears.
Sigh, I shouldn't have let them away from my eyes since I know that they are acting strange these last weeks. I should blame myself for even ignoring their strangeness during last week . Eventually I found my way on the Secret Passage.
I nearly cursed loudly in fright when I saw Fluffy. Thankfully I managed to stop myself. Hagrid's dog was currently sleeping. I gulped. I can't hide the feelings of fear rising through my body. I cautiously made my way through silently. It was very scary.
I sighed in relief when I was near the second passage. Before I jumped down, I saw fluffy opening his eyes. On the Second Passage, I rubbed my butt when I fall down. It hurts even through there were some sort of cushion place down here. I look at the surroundings and manage to find the burnt down Devil's Snares. I continued to walk and arrived at the Third. The door is already opened and I continued walking. On the Fourth Passage, In the Movie, Ron was left unconscious on the Giant Chess Board. I sighed in relief when I saw that none of the Children was unconscious. I keep on walking. When I arrive at the Fifth Passage, I saw a glimpse of someone before it disappeared.
I decided to start running to chase through the Person but it looks like the Person has disappeared. Eventually I arrived at the last passage.
One of the things that I expected was finding the Hufflepuff first years. What I seen has thrown me in surprise. Other than Ernie and the Others. Hermione and Neville was here. Draco with his sidekicks who was not far away from Harry who was holding his wand and pointing it to someone.
" Oh, how amusing. Look like we have an another unexpected Audience." On the back of Professor Quirrel's head was Voldemort. Everyone look at me in surprised except Harry who was still staring at Voldemort.
" As expected of someone being put into Slytherin, you are sharper and smarter than you look. You are not easily deceive by words, Harry Potter."
Harry Potter coldly stared at Voldemort. Not an ounce of emotion can be seen on his face. Even that weird smile of his was gone.
" Your Plan for the Philosopher's Stone won't succeed Voldemort. "
Everyone gasped when Harry said Voldemort's name except Draco and his sidekicks. It looks like they are used to Harry saying Voldemort's name.
Voldemort cruelly smiled. " You are full of surprises, Harry Potter. I am now certain that I need force to take the Philosopher Stone. I have other prospects considering there a lot of curious children for their own good."
While they are having their own confrontation, I made my way to my usual group of first year Hufflepuffs.
"" Ronald... "" They muttered and look at me smiling. I frowned and sent them a displeased look. " You know, when you sent me to the 1st floor corridor, I don't expect to get mobbed by the Angry Ravenclaws." They sent me an apologetic glance. " I also didn't expect to find you missing when I made my way back to the Common Room."
" Could we talk about it later? " Susan asked and I slightly nodded my head while warily looking at the confrontation that is happening right now. I made my way to the front of the first year Hufflepuffs. Voldemort glancing at me in amusement. " A Weasley in Hufflepuff, I wonder if Septimus would rise up in his grave." I unconsciously stepped back. Voldemort chuckled when he notice it. " Fitting to be put in Hufflepuff, since you a little bloodtraitor lack courage." After saying those words, Voldemort glance at Draco who wasn't very far away from Harry.
" Is you're side the same with Lucius? " Draco flinched and he started trembling. Harry started walking closer to Quirrelmort and glared at him." Draco's opinion are different from his parents." Crabbe and Goyle stepped closer to Draco.
Voldemort's red eyes narrowed. " Do you think that you can threaten I, Lord Voldemort with your mere Wand." while saying those words, Quirrel's Wand started glowing.
" No." Harry muttered and his Wand started glowing. " Petrificus Totalus! " Voldemort shouted but Harry immediately dodge. We grimaced when we seen Draco dropping to the ground. How unlucky, at least it wasn't an Avada Kedavra. Crabbe and Goyle immediately went to help Draco.
" We need to get out here. "
" aren't we gonna help him?" Justin asked while trembling. He was clearly frightened.
" No." I started ushering them.
Harry glared at Voldemort as he saw Draco. He stand up and pointed his Wand while dodging a "Stupefy!" from Quirrel. This time, Neville was the one who dropped into the ground. We heard Hermione's shout of " Neville!" Before I found myself hit by a spell. Now, I am the one who was unlucky this time. I found that my mind was finding it hard to think clearly.
[ You've been turned into a Weasel ]
was the last thing that I heard. The System appearing to inform what happened to me and my mind turned into blank. After that there was only silence. It was so peaceful. I can't think clearly but I'm hungry. I want to eat birds.
Right, eating small birds sound a good idea. Small animals were also fine. Chicken was delicious. I want to eat chicken. I also want to run and run.
I don't know how much time has passed since I keep thinking about eating different type of small animals. I was hit by something and I found myself staring at Harry Potter who was glaring at me. I unconsciously blurted out " I didn't see anything!" to him. He stepped closer to me and glared. I wonder when did I get here?
" You're lying, Ron I know that you wouldn't stare at my face when you're lying."
I stare behind Harry and saw all of the Children unconscious. The last time I remembered Draco and Neville are the only one hit by a immobilize spell. Why are they unconscious now!? The others are also unconscious. Did Harry did it to them?!
" It isn't your time yet.." He muttered. Harry's emerald eyes flashed red for a moment before returning to it's usual color. He smiled and glance at the Children.
" Don't worry, their fine. Draco, Goyle and Crabbe are only unconscious. Through your Hufflepuff friends and Neville may missing something important to them when they woke up. As for Mione... It wasn't still her turn."
Oh fuck, I stepped back as my other hand made their way through the pockets. Harry smiled at me. My eyes widened as I saw what his other hand is holding.
" Are you looking for this? " He asked. My hand me down Wand was on his left hand. And now, his other hand started moving. Now I was trapped as there was only a wall beside me. I now know that I am in a shitty predicament. Harry pointed his Wand on my neck with zero distance. Even it wasn't a knife, the Wand still hurts. I trembled. Harry Potter, The boy-who-lived whispered " Stupefy." before I found myself knocked out.
I swear, that it was one of the most hateful spells that was invented in this Wizarding world!
