Chapter 3 sneaking and blood
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So let me get this straight." Said Orion looking between Fred and Gorge "Somebody killed Filches cat? And wrote on the wall in blood?" He asked they both sighed and exchanged looks.
"Miss Noris is not dead."
"Just petrified."
"They'll have to make a potion"
"To unfreeze her."
"And it wasn't blood just red paint." They finished switching back and forth as they spoke Harry nodded thoughtfully.
"Hu, what the excitement about then? Nobodies dead and no bloody writing? Anyways,thanks guys!" He said with a wave and made his way back to Hermonie who was sitting on the other side of the room.
"So?" She asked he shrugged.
"Apparently somebody petrified Filches cat and wrote on the wall in red paint by Murtals bathroom about opening the chamber of secrets,whats the chamber of secrets?" He asked Hermonie blinked
"Flitches cat is petrified?" She asked surprised he nodded "Um right well thats good it will make our lives a little easier when we have to make that potion." She said "As for the chamber of secrets I remember reading something in Hogwarts a history, I think It was built by Salazar Slytherin before he left the school, supposedly theres some kind of monster in it that was to kill all the muggelborn students, but thats all there really is on it." She said he nodded.
"Well, this should be helpful to us." He said she blinked confused
"How is the students being potentially killed by a monster going to help us?" She asked looking at him dubiously he shrugged
"Simple Dumbldore is going to be busy keeping the rest of the school in one piece to pay attention to us. We should be able to do our research in relative peace as long as we don't get eaten our selves." He glanced around the room and grimaced at the sight of Ginny Weasly bating her eyes at him from across the room when he spotted her, you could practically see the dollar signs in her eyes. He heard Hermonie snicker at the face he had made
"Don't worry Orion im sure she'll get over it." She said mockingly he shot he a sour look.
"Right.." He said drily before getting up and heading up to his dorm Hermonie shrugged and closed her book and left as well leaving a good number of Gryffindors still milling around in the common room.

It wasn't until two days later that Orion had a chance to execute his plan to help Hermonie with one of the more difficult to get ingredients. He only hopped that nobody had found the stash of things he had hidden in the school during first year. He hadn't been willing to risk the Durslys snapping and destroying all his stuff so his photo album, invisibility cloak, and the vial of unicorn blood one of the herd had allowed him to take for helping them last year had been hidden in the odd little room he had discovered.
Hagrid had pointed out that it was incredibly rare for a unicorn to let someone have there blood so he had taken it when it was offered. As for the room it was more of an odd little alcove on the South west corner of the 7th floor. It looked as if it had made for the exact purpose he put it too namely as a place to get away from the rest of the school the tiny window the room held looked out over the lake and the forest beyond. It was funny really how the castle had led him here corridors had kept rearranging themselves until he gave up trying to get back to the common room and instead let it take him were it wanted to leading to the discovery of his little sanctuary. Hopefully they could even brew the potion in there as well.
Of course getting to the room without the help of the cloak hidden there was...interesting, Snape always seemed to know where he was no matter how quite he tried to be. Hence why he waited until Monday night for this little raid hopefully most of the teachers would be sleeping instead of prowling so if he had to run away from Snape (which he probably would) he ran a lower risk of running into anyone else.
And so, that night he carefully crept out the past the sleeping portrait that guarded the entrance to the common room and down the hall. Listening intently as he went. Snape unfortunately, was as silent as a ghost so ever then he would never hear the bastard coming. Three hidden stair cases and one close call with Filtch later and he was nearing his destination he looked back and forth down the corridor checking for Snape one last time before pushing a tapestry out of the way and disappearing down a hall that inexplicably began on the fifth floor and came out on the 7th with no sign of any kind of incline. He grinned in triumph and ducked into the little room which was hidden behind a painting of a large cobra.
He relaxed a bit once the painting was closed again Snape would never find him here "Lumos!" He said lighting his wand up, a quick look around located his cloak and and photo album sitting on a shelf just like he had left them. He pulled the cloak down and wrapped it around himself before picking up the photo album and putting the cloth wrapped vial of unicorn blood that had been sitting nearby in his pocket. He took a deep breath and turned back to the door there was no reason to sit around and the longer he was out of the common room the more likely it was for him to get caught.

(The next morning)
"Harry get up! Were going to miss breakfast!" Yelled Ron Orion put his pillow over his head trying to drown out Ron yelling but to no avail as Ron pulled open the curtains on his bed and started shaking him. He refrained from snarling and twisted snagging his wand off the side table as he did so.
"Lumos!" He snapped pushing as much magic into his wand as possible. The others in the room looked over as the bright flash of light earned a shriek of surprised and pain from Ron who promptly fell over and sat crying on the ground. Orion looked down at the balling Gryffindor with faint disgust before getting out of bed and heading for the showers 15 minutes later he was out and Ron was gone he snorted and grabbed his book bag before heading downstairs.
"Harry!" Called Hermonie excitedly he looked over and smiled
"Hay Mi have a nice night?" He said brightly Hermonie stared at him suspiciously
"What did you do?" She asked warily Orion just smirked
"I got you a present ill show you later." He answered Hermonie sighed and shook her head
"As long as you didn't get caught Harry we cant afford the attention right now." She said just as they entered the great hall.
"Mr Potter?" Said McGonagall the two looked up surprised to see the professor standing in front of them looking irritated.
"Yes, professor? Something wrong?" Asked Orion.
"Indeed Mr Potter, Ron Weasly claims you attacked him this morning for no reason can you explain why he's currently in madam pomfrys care." She asked Hermonie shot harry a nasty look Orion just shrugged
"Sorry professor it was an accident im still a bit jumpy after last year and he woke me up I just happened to come up swinging." He said looking guiltily at her. Her expression softened a bit and she nodded before leaving. Hermonie rounded on him ready to start yelling when harry cut her off
"That wasn't your surprise, you get that tonight." He said drily Hermonie sighed and looked at him rather balefully as they left the common room.

(Later that day)
Hermonie stared at the vial of unicorn blood in astonishment as Orion happily dangled it in front of her face. "How do you do it?" She asked somewhat amazed Orion just grinned
"magic" He answered brightly she rolled her eyes taking the blood from him and inspecting it.
"When did you get this?" She asked getting up and putting the vial in her trunk
"Last year during that detention in the forbidden forest when we were trying to help the unicorns it was a thank you I suppose."
"So what do we need now?" He asked.
"Just the scale and the dragon horn right?" She nodded "Well I have an idea for the scale, I know where theres a portrait of Salazar I was going to go ask him if he had any stashed somewhere." Orion said thoughtfully Hermonie gave him a somewhat blank look at that.
"You actually think he'd tell you?" She asked drily Orion just gave her a sardonic look.
"If it pisses off Dumbledore I don't see why not!" Hermonie grinned somewhat wryly.
"True."
"That and im a parsaltongue who was supposed to be in Slytherin,that could help too." He added brightly
"Your a what?" Asked Hermonie confused Orion just grinned
"I can talk to snakes iv known I could do it since I was 5." He answered a faint smile on his face as he remembered the old gardener snake who had been his first friend. Hermonie stared at him for a moment before sighing
"Your weird" she said exasperatedly Orion just laughed.
