—(POV Connor)
As we made our way to the supposed secret spot I started rifling through "Box". Even though it isn't a box anymore it's a short and easy name.
"Hey Jacob this feels funny," I say while holding Box to him, he stuck his hand in but only made it as far as his wrist.
-There is nothing in here, odd. I know what this was, but with these implications this is incredible. An infinite space only you can access, truly a lucky man you are.-
"Yeah nothing great really," I say as I pull a sandwich out of Box and begin eating it.
We finally spot Harry and Ron near Hagrid's house. Just a couple feet into the woods motioning for us to join them.
"I'd rather do it inside, your spot sucks. Plus I can actually sit down and rest for a sec," I say while walking towards the house Jacob in tow.
Reluctantly coming along, they come out from the woods and start walking towards the house.
We sat in a house meant for a giant. Though not really giant, most things were still larger and thus harder to use. Harry tried to sit in a chair but his feet dangled a couple inches off the ground.
We fill them in on what happened and they filled us on what happened to them.
Apparently there is BIG ass spider in the woods that told them about some ex pet that Hagrid had. I knew Hagrid was animal guy but seriously. He was the ex-owner of the beast that's killing people. No wonder they fired him.
Anyways, the big ass spider didn't say anything more and let his kids eat them. But a "sentient car" saved them. I think that they are trying to make their story sound as cool as ours, we fought literal albeit shitty assassins.
Especially for wizard assassins, they sucked. I thought they could've done more, they mostly used physical force, which I guess could've worked against they shitty physique of a wizards.
Don't matter though, as Jacob and I left to check up on Hermione. We never got the chance to really see her sense we were preparing for the espionage mission.
Harry and Ron left for the Gryffindor room.
As Jacob and I entered the medical ward, there were many more stoned people than we expected. We wandered around looking at each person until we saw the familiar face of Hermione holding a crumpled piece of paper.
"Odd, no one noticed this obvious piece of paper she was holding," I opened it up and read it quietly to myself.
We made our way back to the common room and then up my room at the top.
"A basilisk huh," I say to Jacob.
-Is that what is terrifying and stoning people?-
"Apparently, says here that it can petrify people with its stare, guess it meant literally. I thought that it was just in fear when I was researching on the culprit."
-Magic sucks-
"And apparently there are animals that innately use magic," we both complained then started coming up with counter measures. I searched the bag as Jacob read over the smaller scrolls we stole from Dumbledore's office.
(Time skip of a couple days)
Jacob and I did some research and contemplating on what to fight off the now basilisk with.
We were wondering who to bring, teachers, an army of students we got no idea. After Harry started telling us about how he was hearing voices around him we decided to tell him what it probably was.
"THERE'S A BASILISK?" He quietly yelled as we started our way into the secret basement.
Harry was the only one who knew how to get to the thing after a long string of trying to tell teachers and hiding and listening.
Honestly gave me more respect, not the snitching part, but he somehow got the information that I couldn't.
As we walked into a desecrated bathroom to find Ron and Professor Lockhart waiting for us to join them.
Harry started at a sink while making weird hissing noises like a lunatic and lo and behold gears start slowly whirl to life.
I take notice of Lockhart stealing Ron's wand as he immediately points it him.
"I will take the Basilisk's skin as proof of this accomplishment," he triumphantly yelled. Both Jacob and I shared a nod of understanding, we could do something, but honestly, fuck Ron.
He cast the but Ron's wand was broken, the spell shot backwards and hit him. Jacob and I burst out laughing as Harry ran over to help his friend.
Finally after a good laugh over Lockhart's situation we descended the stairs. Lockhart tried to cast a spell to make Ron forget EVERYTHING, but now he did, at least for now. Who the hell knows what magic medicine can do.
Stood in cave as Jacob prepared his shield which had a large mirror attached to the front. I reached into Bag pulling out a large riot shield with no glass.
-When did you find that?-
"Shut up Jacob, it can do more than just shield," I said as I pressed a button on the handle I held.
The shield expanded to the height of me then split perfectly into five segments spinning around me. I put the handle I was holding onto a belt loop and began after Harry.
We somehow convinced Ron to return Lockhart to the medical ward and spill his secrets. Harry seemed disappointed but continued his journey nonetheless.
We entered into the old sewer system of the school as it smelled like shit and I see a huge ass piece of green shit moving in a parallel tube to us.
"Shit," I say as I spin my gun into my hand firing ransoms spells into the large snake. It didn't seem to affect it as it slithered faster towards our inevitable battle grounds. I tried keeping pace with it but the thing was fast.
Something to keep in mind for our fight later. Even though I had a plan to stop it, if shit hits the fan and I got to fist fight the thing. Let's just say I think we're would be fucked.
We run past a shed skin of the basilisk, I quickly pocket some into Bag, I could probably store it all later, but as we went a couple feet past the skin the earth around us shook causing a cave in.
Not the most ideal situation but whatever, never planned on running in the first place. I reach into Bag pulling out my syringe attachment as we see light permeating from around a bend in the cave. I quickly inject myself as Jacob with Harry in tow charged the room.
—(POV Narrator)
The armor and young boy charged into the room to see a young man standing above a book. A look of realization dawned on Harry's eyes but Jacob didn't have time to question him.
"I see you've found me Har- wait who are you?" The young man said. As they all looked at each other in confusion a large green serpent slithered into the grand room.
"No matter, I have other matters to attend to, get them," he said while pointing towards us. The snake slowly went around the room stopping at the entrance they used to get in.
As it stopped a primal roar shook the room even startling the Basilisk. The snake looked back to we're the voice came from, behind.
A huge multi colored hand shot from inside the cave wrapping around the snake. The hand wrapped around it as another hand grabbed the side of the entrance. Pushing against it the a face full of stitching surrounding differing skin showed. There was no features on it, no eyes, nose, or mouth. Just a large numb attached to the neck and shoulders.
It finally pushed though and stood up to its full height, it's head craned over so as not to hit the ceiling.
The hand holding the snake reached towards its wide stomach. The stitching split showing a mouth, the stitches contorted together growing into large fangs for the mouth.
The hand brought the snakes struggling body into the mouth and bit down. The snakes eyes went white as it's head and a third of its body still twitched in its hand.
The mouth contorted in disgust as it spat back out the snakes body which writhed and wiggled.
The beast looked around before it began to shrink and became human again.
"That was an odd experience, and next time mister mystery make your monsters tastier.
