Chapter 7:Petrified
"No,Really.I wish Zoe was petrified."
"Draco,Just..be carful of what you wish for."
Draco gave Raven a questioning look."What does that mean?"
The blonde gave him a shrug,putting her hands in her robe pockets."It always happens in books.One of the characters asks for something to happen,and it does happen,then they regret it."
"Yes Raven but,"He turned to look at her,"We aren't in a book."
She grinned,raising her eyebrows."How would you know?"
"What does that mean-"
Both of them turned to the sound of rushed footsteps coming their way,"Neville?I thought you were hanging out with Dean and-"
"You two have to see this!"
Raven turned to look at Draco,"What did I just say?"
***
The three of them walked into the hospital wing.Where Dumbeldore,Snape,and Mr.Malfoy were all surrounding one bed.
"Father?!"
"Draco,Where were you when this happened?"Lucius turned to his 'elder' son,who looked at him questioningly."What happened?"
"Your sister was petrified as well as another Hufflepuff student."Lucius hissed,glaring daggers at Dumbeldore."What!?"Raven rushed beside Zoe's bed.Zoe didn't look terrorized like as Mrs.Norris or Justin Fletchley.She just had a resting,annoyed look on her face.
"Where did you find her Proffessure?"She asked,"In the same corridor we found Mrs.Norris petrified."
"She must've went to find clues,playing the detective as always.Such a dummy."Raven facepalmed,"Am I suppose to look out for all of you or what."
"Says the same girl who falls on her face approximately everytime she runs."Draco mumbeled,earning a playful glare from Raven.
"So?Where were you?"Lucius repeated the question,"I was.."
"We were heading back to our common room after Proffessure Snape's lesson."Snape nodded,confirming Raven's statment.
"Z-Zoe was in Defence against dark arts then."Neville said,trying to help out as well."Dumebdlore,The ministry will know about this."
"His father heard about this."Neville almost choked on his laughter.Draco stuck his tounge out at Raven."You aren't fit to be headmaster anyway."Lucius huffed,walking out of the room.
Snape and Dumbeldore left after him-well,Poppy threw them out-Leaving the three tweleve year olds around Zoe.
"Had to act like a smartie didn't you?"Draco sat down on nearby chair,talking to Zoe.
"What's the point of saying take care if you don't listen to me,geez."
"Now what?Are we going to leave?"Neville asked,sighing heavily.
"Well,since Zoe is petrified.."Raven started,"It's my turn to play detective!"
***
"Absloutly not!"Both boys yelled,causing Raven to cringe slightly at their voices."Hey,I am not going on dumb adventures in the middle of the night like Zoe over there.Gosh I can hear her trying to convince me that doing that was a good thing."
"Also what is father doing here!?"Draco huffed,rolling his grey eyes."His daughter has been petrified.I don't know,maybe he is coming over to have some pudding?"Raven replied sarcastically.Neville facepalmed,"Okay Draco,Since we have some fearless dumb siblings-"
"I am not dumb,Everyone in this room is dumb..well,Except Poppy,I love you Poppy."
The two boys chuckled,as Poppy shoo-ed them out."We have to look for clues.Anything that'll help us figure out what causes petrification."
"It can't be a spell."
"Or a potion."
"It's either an animal or a plant of some sort."Raven cut them off,heading to the library."I am going to Proffessure Sprout.She was trying to figure out what plant can help un-petryfing the students..."
"Yeah sure.Tell us if you find anything."
"Sure.See ya!"
***
"You know now I really feel like a jerk."Draco sighed,as Raven went through some pages in one of the books she found."Why?"
"As much as I wanted Zoe petrified,I didn't..want her to be?"He explained,"She is my sister you know?Does it happen to you and Neville-"
"It's actually 'Neville and You'.Watch your grammer,blondie."She said,as Draco dumped another pile of books beside her."And yes it does happen.Saying things you don't mean and regretting it after a while."
"Exactly.."The golden trio and him shared glares,before he turned to Raven."I really hope we find something.."
"We will.We have the power of merlin and books by our side!"
