Lily knew something was out to get her, when you were as paranoid as her, everything pretty much was. But then would you not ask why she was out alone so late? Or early depending on how you looked at it. When it came to Lily sleep did not come so easily. She had of course tonight fallen asleep for the few hours she had cherished, but all good things come to an end and so did Lilys sleep. She sat up. Worn out. Too much was going on in the life of Lily Potter, and she knew she was going to need to learn to deal with it. She glanced around the cold dark slytherin common room. She wanted to go home. She was desperate to go home, to leave hogwarts and tell her parents everything. But she couldn't. She didn't have the guts and believed she had already caused enough damage. It took a small while to drag herself out of bed, but she did eventually get up and change into something more warm.
She hated the cold at times, and today just seemed to be one of them. "Lumos" she said silently, leaving out the slytherin common room and into the magical halls of Hogwarts. Another thing, Lily hated being on her own but in time she had learned that she was most likely going to be alone. Maybe not with a baby, a baby would be company, but maybe not good company. She walked down the halls almost silently, counting the steps she took whilst lighting her way. What could you do at this time? She wasn't sure. It took her a little while before she reached the sixth floor, but she was there. Where was she heading? She wasn't sure, but the second she took the first steps in, she wished she hadn't. It didn't feel right. Something didn't feel right and she couldn't point her finger too it .

harmony exhaled softly as sh held eleanor close to her in her arms tightly as she walked down the hall and up to a girl that, looked to be in a year younger than her year and said" are you lilly potter?"her eyes were glassed over, like she was in trance but it was very barely noticable and her sharp fang-like teeth were still showing but she didn't bother to hide them as she looked at the girl. nothing was really going thought her mind, but the thought between her and eleanor. she she remained slience, not saying anything as she waited for the girl to answer.

The box sat quiet as Harmony walked from the dungeons to the sixth floor. While in the hall way she summoned their Target. 'That's her, now go distract her.' Eleanors voice rang in her head. As soon as the girl was paying attention to harmony the yellow eyes lit up the hall behind her. 'Now back away child. Zara has her in his sights. She won't be getting away.' As soon asHarmony was a few feet away the creature lunged from the shadows landing behind Lily with a loud metallic bang, and breaking the floor beneath it's feet.
((OOC Creature Description: The beast has reptilian features, but at the same time there is no way it's a normal reptile. It is ten feet long, and has scales, but its scales are made of steel. It has the horrible yellow eyes of a basilisk, but it has protective eye lids that it can see through that kept the power of its eyes contained. It has a long tail that seemes to be covered with thousands of needles. It's claws are long, and razor sharp, and as it breathes out, spurts of ice come out its mouth. ))

The second a voice echoed through the hall, lily froze. She turned to see whom it belonged too. No one she knew, but this girl seemed to have been looking for her. She sort of stared at the girl the girl wondering what did she want. "Yeah why?" she finally said breaking the silence. Lily didn't like silence, and for once she did not like this girl. Whatever it was there was something creepy about her, and it made lily merely want to dart out and go back to the saftey of her bed. "Well come on spit it out, i haven't got all day" she added impatiently.
That was up until the girl took steps backwards. Wierd. Yes very, only up until she felt the floor shake and something land behind her did she really start panicking. It took only mere moments for her to turn around and face what the hell had landed behind her,she took steps before screaming in horror at a creature. She thought she had already had the scare of her life. Well this was something else.

harmony watched with completely noticable glassed over eyes as lilly screamed in horror. she said in a emotionless, trance-like calm voice knowing lilly was too scared to hear her," this zara, lilly he's been wanting to see you for a while now" the way she said it made her sound evil, which she wasn't . she was only doing as eleanor said for her to do. she watched emotionless at the scene before her, not doing anything to stop it as she held eleanor tightly and close to her in her arms.

Zara advanced on Lily with quick heavy steps leaving small craters where his feet fell. When he was close to her he let out a great roar expelling subzero air that froze her from the inside out instantly. Keeping her alive but un-moving. Then the great creature turned, and ran off returning to the chamber. Eleanor then opened, and a writing appeared on the wall in blood. The Chamber of Secrets is open again
A new monster has risen from it's depths
Enemies of the heir beware The box then closed 'Get out of here Harmony people are coming.' It warned her. |

harmony saw lilly froze and saw what eleanor made appear on the wall. she heard what eleanor said and nodded as she held eleanor tightly and close to her as she took off running as she thought" where do you i go?" she was alittle scared now but, tried to remain calm for eleanor. she didn't know where to go what she kept running. when she was out of breath she hid behind a statue and thought to eleanor" what's going to happen eleanor?'' she looked down at the box. she quietly caught her breath

The box began to give off a calming feeling sensing her panic. 'Calm down child. You are safe. The dormitory is only around the corner. Go up to your bed, and forget about what has just happened. No one will ever come looking for you. When the girl comes thaws out she'll be lucky to even remember the creature. The freezing process tends to destroy recent memories. Now go sleep child. You deserve a good nights rest.' The box spoke in it's ensuring voice.

It had been a long night for Dominique. Prefect duty was never very entertaining and she had the upper levels of the castle tonight. She always liked being closer to her common room so that the walk back was never far. However her last stop was the towers and now she was on her way back down. Her mind was drifting to Anton and then to the scars on her back. Hopefully Jack was too drunk to remember the threat he had made toward her. Domi was pretty stupid to say what she did but it had to be said. The guy was psychotic and he didn’t deserve his powers. She still stood by her words since there was no way she could take them back.
Getting to the sixth floor, with her wand out and lit she looked lazily side to side. No one was out now. Kids were most likely in their dorms sleeping like she should be. Dom actually yawned and as the light of the wand hit the wall she let her jaw stayed dropped. This better has been some prank. Yet by the look of it this was for real. She let out a scream seeing this and her wand arm dropped lighting up the ground. As her eyes looked there now she let out another scream. This one louder than the first and enough to probably wake up the whole castle. There was her cousin Lily on the ground frozen solid. Dom dropped her wand and then dropped to her knees her eyes never leaving her cousin. “Lily…Lily,” she said her voice growing weaker. “Help! Somebody help!” she yelled and didn’t care about the tears that came down her face.

Harmony nodded and calmed down as she thought to eleanor" ok eleanor thank you, i was alittle scared after that" she sighed softly as she continue to calm herself while she hurried back to The dormitory . when she got up to the dormitory, she set eleanor down and changed into some pajamas before she picked eleanor up again, and got under the covers of her soft, warm bed and slowly falling asleep, hoping to not have bad dreams and forget about what just happened. she held eleanor close to herself in her arms and under the covers as she slept.

Jack had been down on the fifth floor making his rounds. Granted he never really made them like he was suppose to, but this night was different. He had just sent a few slytherins back to the dorm when he heard a scream from the level above. He knew the voice all to well. He knew that the box had brough Zara to Lily. He ignored the scream not wanting to be the first on scene. Shortly after wards he heard a second scream this time from a different voice. Another familiar voice. A cruel smile spread accross his face.
How ironic it was that the person who had sealed Lily's fate would be the one to find her. Very soon after a louder scream was heard. He whiped the smile off of his face, as he headed up the stairs. By the time he reached the sixth floor there was a look of concern on his face. Torches burt to life as he came down the corridor quickly lighting the scene. He first saw the words on the wall. It was a nice touch, but a bit used. Then his eyes fell to the girls on the floor. He would play it off like he remembered nothing of his, and Doms disagreement. "Don't touch her. We don't know what did this." He knelt down, and examined the craters in the floor, and traced it with his hand. "What could have done this?" He asked himself out loud.

Anton was out in the forest, leaning over a deer that he had just killed. His energy was replenished and the thirst for blood suppressed so now it was just a small thing in the back of his mind. After dragging the corpse off the beaten track and returning to the path, one of the many that led to Hogsmeade from Hogwarts, he heard a scream coming from inside the castle. It worried him, after all that had happened and he was sure that someone was hurt, based on the magnitude of the scream. He turned his body to the lights far off in the distance, marking where the castle sat. Soon, he heard one more scream and knew that he needed to get up there, fast. The only person that came to his mind was Dominique. Oh god, what if she was hurt. Maybe telling her who had changed him was a terrible idea. Anton began sprinting up to the front doors of the castle, then up to the sixth level, where he could hear some voices. His speed was immense, and was there within seconds.
Anton rounded the corner, only to find a big ice statue. Or wait, was it a statue or a person? He took one more step closer and realized that it really was a human being, literally frozen in time. Then his stomach dropped. Just next to the girl-cicle, was Dom. The feeling he had was beyond the imagination. Someone had gotten hurt, but it wasn't her. Relief and horror filled his head. He then rushed over to Dom, pushing past Professor Riddle. He then scooped her up into his arms and held her. "Dom, what happened?" He just wanted to comfort her, but he also needed to prevent her from going into shock. That was probably the worst thing that could happen. Then he realized that the person he shoved out of his way was Jack Riddle. That was so not good. He turned his back to him, still holding Dom. "Are you alright?" For the time being, all of his thoughts were focused on her and trying to make her relax.

Dominique couldn’t take in seeing Lily like this. This was her cousin who she just made up with a few days ago. Lily had apologized for everything. And her little cousin was pregnant. Oh! What about the baby? She knew Lily cared about that more than anything. She could tear her eyes away and she kept on thinking this was some horrible nightmare. That this would all go away in the morning. Lily would be fine. She would much rather have her cousin trying to kill her than whatever happened here. This was dark magic. Had to be. And the writing on the wall? She didn’t want to read it over again. It was engraved into her memory. Her uncle Harry told her the story about this and his second year. Aunt Ginny had been petrified but the beast was killed. Who brought something back?
When the hallway was suddenly lit, Dom paid no attention to it. Tears were still coming down her face and she could tell probably her whole body was shaking. The only thing that made her look up was hearing his voice. Jack Riddle. An immense hatred toward the mean swelled up inside of her and she was going to yell at him for even being there. And then suddenly when he spoke she got the message. He wasn’t saying anything about that night but he said her family would die. Lily was just the first. The tears stopped momentarily. This was her fault.
Just as the tears came down pouring down her face she felt herself being scooped up into someone’s arms. Immediately she knew it was Anton. She cried harder into his shoulder knowing that Jack would see how much they cared for each other. He would try and take Anton away from her. “That’s my cousin.” Dom managed to get out as she kept her eyes shut and her head close to Anton. “I don’t know what hurt her! You are the dark arts expert!” she yelled at Jack having to get some anger out. She couldn’t help but think: You know exactly what hurt my cousin. She had to. And Dom held onto Anton as if Jack would take him away from her now. “I’m fine.” She said her eyes filling up with tears again as she caught another glimpse of her cousin’s frozen body.

Jack ignored the boy that pushed past him. He stood up from the floor, and he whistled loudly. A dozen owls came flying down the hall way. With a wave of his hand letters appeared on each of there legs. "Go wake the proffessors he told them." The owls took off immediatly. Jack turned his attention to the words on the wall. "That's impossible. What ever did this it did not come from the chamber."
He murmerred mainly to himself. Then he turned to Dom. "I am sure your uncles have told you the story so you know. The entrance to the chamber caved in, and was blocked off. Plus the chamber holds snakes." He looked down at the imbressions on the floor. "What ever this was it is big, and it has legs. It is no snake." Now he turned to the girl that had been his former aprentice.
He held his hand out to her,keeping inches away from touching her moving it over the body. "She's not hurt, nor is the child. They are completely intact just frozen in time. We could try to melt her, but it could be dangerous. The best thing we can do is wait for her to thaw out, and tell us what she saw. This is not a natural creature that did this. This is something no one has ever seen."

The night was relatively relaxing and that is something Victoria needed. Finals had just finished and she had just sent her last owl out with the last graded final to her students. She sat down in her chair and looked at her shelves of unorganized books. She would have to clean those up some day. But not tonight. It was really late and she decided that since Dante had not called on her tonight, she would go for a walk and some time to think. She grabbed her cloak and headed out, making sure to lock her classroom before she left. The last thing she needed was students in there stealing potions or ingredients.
She slipped on her cloak and left the hood down, the castle was dark enough and she muttered a spell that dimmed the torches and lanterns around her in the halls. She listened to the sounds of her boots echoing off the stone floors and it was rather irritating. She muttered a spell and a sort of pad placed itself under the short heels on her boots. She nodded and then heard something rather disturbing. A scream echoed in the hallways, followed by someone screaming for help. Victoria grabber her wand and with all speed flew up the stairs, tuned into the sounds of what seemed to be three people talking to each other.
When she arrived at the scene, Jack was there along with two students. She rushed to the student's side and looked at Jack and then at the petrified girl in front of her. She had seen this before a few decades ago and she bit her bottom lip lightly. The smell of blood got her attention and she spun around to the wall to see the message written in blood. She turned back and looked at Jack. "We must send for the Headmaster." she turned to the students next to her. "I understand that you may be close to the girl, but I would rather you stand away. We do not yet know the cause of thi--" she trailed off as she looked at the four large prints broken in the rock and gasped lightly. "What in hells name is going to happen here..." she whispered.
