Minerva smirked, "His godfather, Sirius Black." She said and bowed as a group of Death Eaters followed her as they went to complete to unspoken order … capture Sirius Black …
XXXXXXXXXX
Nagini slithered through the pipes and into the chamber she didn't realize was the Chamber of Secrets and once the home of a massive basilisk. She soon came to a soft warm nest made of various pieces of clothes she stole from the brats she didn't like hidden in the far back. There were a few things from Michael in the pile. In fact, a good number of things were from the brat especially the clothes with heating charms, which weren't as good as her heating rock, but still makes for a comfy nest.
Not just a nest though! She had a few other things kids leave behind from a collection of coins to ink to quills and parchment. All of which she stored in an interesting crate that was there in the Chamber. She just thought the once empty crate drifted in from the lake or something since it was near the water that flowed in from the lake, but she wasn't sure.
If her visits had been more frequent and she started building her nest here before Harry left for his studying trip then she would know the truth …
'How long should I stay out of the way? Three days? … maybe four. Master will definitely need time to get over his-... actually I don't get why'd he'd be mad. Yes, Master's mate understood what I have been saying, but that's good! I'm teaching Master's mate how to care for him properly! … sadly, that weird shy thing humans cling to means I'll be in trouble … Oh! I'll get a gift to smooth things over!'
Nagini slithered over to a platform made of some boxes. Every kid gets candy, but leaves the box in the trash when it's done. The serpent simply found a use for the high quality boxes that came with strengthening and special sticking charms. Those in particular can be stacked into various shapes and not fall thanks to the charms. What was a nice trait to create interesting displays is now being used to make the snake's desk.
'Let's see … which skins are already in my Master's closet?' The serpent pondered as she flipped through some older magazines she took from Tom after he finished and flipped through using the tip of her tail.
After an unknown amount of time she found a selection of things and began jotting down her order. With the practice she got from writing to Harry over the summer her skill with her tail has improved greatly. Whether she only used her tail or a quill it was hard to imagine it was a snake writing just by the writing.
'There! Master does love his soft skins." Nagini hissed as she slithered to get an envelope from the supplies she keeps safely in the large crate tipped on its side to protect everything from the dripping that happens on that edge of the Chamber. With her message tucked away in an envelope with and a few galleons she scribbled down the address, 'Master should be nearly done with that curfew patrol thing I think … I'll deliver it now!"
Hoping to miss Tom completely she took her letter into her mouth and slithered back into the main part of the castle. On her way to the owlry she spotted something in from the high tower thanks to the darkness of the night providing great contrast for her heat vision. Lots of cold heat signatures just inside the edge of the forest. Those silhouettes only her snake eyes could see from this distance unnerved and she wedged the letter between two stones before going to investigate.
When she reached the grass near the spot she saw Tom's silhouette. She could tell by her master's tone that he was angry and stayed out of view as he approached Harry's much hotter silhouette. It always struck her as odd that Harry ran rather hot, but it didn't matter. Right now she wanted Harry to make Tom get hotter.
'Maybe Master will take advantage of this chance … I'd hate to think all my hard work was for nothing!' Nagini said giddily as she watched the bright signatures come closer momentarily forgetting the cold things she saw earlier, which were standing inside the trees.
Those things weren't forgotten long though. Before she could comprehend the two signatures she realized were with Harry she noticed something was charging her master. With fangs bared she raced to attack the cold thing before it got to her master.
'No one attacks my master!' Nagini hissed furiously pushing herself to move faster to close the impossible distance. In the split second she had she went from panic to relief to confusion faster than she ever had before.
Panic, of course, from seeing that thing get close to hurting her master …
Relief from seeing Harry kill the thing before her master was hurt …
Confusion from what she realized were real heat radiating from the wings coming out of Harry's back!
The danger from the forest came out in high numbers and despite what she just learned about Harry her first thought was her master's well being. Moving far faster than an average snake she tried to catch up with Harry who took her master and jumped several feet away from the oncoming cold things. Her anger spiked when she heard her master insist that he could.
'Stubborn fool!' Nagini hissed even though she was too far away to be heard. She was happy that Harry killed yet another cold before her master was hurt. It was a relief to her that it succeeded in making Tom and, those she recognized now that she was closer, Weasley twins go back to the castle.
As much as she wanted to help Harry it seemed he had everything handled so she slithered through the shadows towards her master. Much to her shock she saw the twins tap a pattern on the stone castle wall under a sconce and hidden door opened up. After her master and the twins were safely hidden inside the secret passage she curled up protectively in front of the door. If any cold thing that got passed the creature it'd feel her fangs.
'A creature … how did I miss that?' Nagini pondered noticing the pattern one of twins tapped on the wall was etched on the sconce.
As she thought back she realized there were several things about Harry that didn't add up. On several occasions he actually carried her full weight easily for one thing! That alone should've clued her in much sooner, but now wasn't the time to dwell.
In the distance Harry could be heard fighting hard and she had to do her part so she coiled up ready to strike. Several long tense minutes passed before she saw only one cold thing left moving. Granted she could tell by the small number that attacked that many more cold things were still in the forest, but none of those seemed to be moving forward. Also she could see Albus, Aberforth, Gellert and Severus approaching meaning it was safe for now.
The earth shivered slightly under her belly as she slithered into the shadows, 'Harry is strong … I chose right!' Nagini praised herself quietly when she noticed that Harry crushed the last cold thing into the ground creating a mini quake with the power behind the impact.
While under her watchful eye her master and the twins came out in time to meet the others. The slap she saw Severus give Harry was very amusing to her, but something caught her attention. It was what Harry said when Gellert insisted on going to report to the headmistress about this invasion of cold things, which were apparently called inferi. That little piece of information set her on edge.
'The headmistress is responsible for those things … the things that nearly hurt my master … and hurt my master's mate …' Nagini muttered subconsciously barely registering that Hagrid appeared and was the one to point out the bite on Harry's wing.
No, right now she was too furious to care about the straggling details. All she needed to know was Harry was a creature, he was protective of her master and that Tom would be safe without her for a little while. So instead of following her master to hear a long story that won't change anything she was free to find a way to get her new target. In her rage filled mind it would be easy too. All she needed was to get to the statue and use a password to get in to kill her target. That should be easy, right?
'Cockroach Clusters …' Nagini hissed at the griffin statue she, but it didn't respond. She always eavesdropped when Albus told Tom the new password so she knew it was right. 'Cockroach Clusters! Cockroach Clusters! … ' Nagini raged at the stupid statue, 'This door is snakecist!'
True, the door wasn't going open for her, but that was only because it didn't recognize parseltongue and not because she was a serpent. Of course, that didn't sink in until Nagini calmed down several minutes later. When she gave up on that route to the headmistress she began plotting …
'I will sink my fangs in that witch … and I know how to do it too.' Nagini commented as she slithered back to that chamber.
This time, however, she paid closer attention to the sconces on the wall. Every etch on every sconce she passed was memorized just in case it would become helpful later. There was no doubt in her mind that the etches were a sign to what needed to be tapped on the wall to open a tunnel. It made sense after all, but decided she'd explore later, which will come after she gets her coils around Minerva.
'Shame … if only I had the privacy to use you.' Nagini sighed knowing that she couldn't use the tunnels for her kill. That had to be private and with no chance someone will accidentally stumble on her for a while or at least give her a few hours to digest …
With that plan in mind she entered the pipe system through the space behind the sinks in the first floor girls bathroom and started her search. Picking on mean kids was always her goal. That, and hiding from Tom when she got in trouble, but that meant she hasn't explored the pipes. There was a great deal to go through in this network to find that one pipe that goes to the headmistress's living quarters.
Subtle whispery voices traveled through the pipes from other places in the castle keeping her informed on what's happening, or not happening, in Hogwarts. The gossip about Michael getting in trouble made her day as well as reminded her that it was morning already! Being morning she was worried about what will happen, however, the fact that there was no hustle and bustle of aurors storming the place to arrest the headmistress was a relief. It meant no one told about the inferi, which was fine with her. She wanted her target in reach and, better yet, pissed off by her failed plans if the echoes from a pipe was any indication…
"Ruined! All that planning wasted! … what will I tell my lord- … Yes." Minerva was clearly annoyed at the interruption, but paused her rant when someone could be heard knocking.
Unfortunately, Nagini could not hear what else was said because the headmistress must've moved to another room. If the headmistress' living quarters were connected to her office that'd make sense, but even though she could learn more that was enough to conclude which pipe lead to the room Nagini wanted. A full 24 hours of nearly obsessive searching finally lead this moment. The rewarding feeling of slithering out of a shower drain and into the bathroom of a living quarters she didn't recognize and the chance of a lifetime within strike. With her goal in reach she slithered under the bed and waited …
Little did she know that right now Aberforth was explaining what Michael did to Albus and ultimately why it lead to Harry badly, albeit deservedly, hurting Michael ...
An hour passed and just as the tired snake started to drift off the distinctive pop of an apparition woke her, 'and I thought Gellert was going overboard when he tried turning three training dummies into big pleasing toys.' Nagini muttered when she peeked out and saw Minerva standing with six cloaked people ...
