Chapter 51 - Potion Room (1/2)
As soon as the king piece dropped its sword, Se-yeon ran towards Ron. She saw that he was breathing and heaved a sigh of relief.
”Ron is smart, but sometimes he acts just so dumb,” Se-yeon said.
”Hermione, Kristine, can you two head back to the top with Se-yeon to take Ron away?” Chris asked. ”From here on, it's going to get more dangerous and considering that we have not met with Snape's or Quirrell's test yet, one of them is definitely going to be really nasty,”
”No, if it's going to be that dangerous then it's better that we come with you,” Hermione said.
”Do you think that Se-yeon is enough to bring Ron up to safety? His safety is priority. Right now he might look like he's alright on the surface, but what if he had a serious internal injury. She's going to need help,” Chris said.
”But-”
”Hermione let's go back,” Kristine said. ”Like Chris said, Ron might be seriously injured and we're going to need to help Se-yeon in every way that we can,”
”But he's going to die Kristine. Do you think You-Know-Who will spare him after seeing that they're trying to interrupt his plan?” Hermione asked angrily.
”It's hard for me too!” Kristine shouted. ” Do you think I want to leave two of my friends to die to stall for what 20 minutes? But at the same time, I know this is for the best. Who knows maybe Chris and Harry together will be strong enough to stall You-Know-Who for much longer considering that You-Know-Who is greatly weakened. This is for the best Hermione. If we don't let them do this, the entire school will be in trouble,”
”Yes,” Harry said. ”Se-yeon, grab the brooms from the flying-keys room and take Ron to safety. Then please get Hedwig and contact Dumbledore. Regardless of who Voldemort is using, even if Chris and I together can't defeat him, like Kristine said we can definitely stall him for a while. The things we learned in Dueling Club will definitely come in handy. And who knows, I survived him once. Maybe my luck will save both of us,”
”Alright,” Se-yeon said after a bit of hesitation. ”Good luck to you two,”
Hermione was reluctant, but she still agreed to leave. She followed Kristine and Se-yeon as they tried to carry Ron and walk to the brooms in the chamber before.
”Alright Harry you ready?” Chris asked.
”Yeah. I mean I have to be don't I?” Harry asked.
”Yep,” Chris said. ”Well it's time let's finish up the tests for Quirrell and Snape,”
They soon reached another door and Chris opened it covering his nose instantly to not smell the foul odor of the troll that was on the ground unconscious due to an injury on its head.
”Let's hurry and move to the next door,” Chris whispered. ”I'm covering my nose and it still makes me want to throw up,”
”Yeah,” Harry said. ”This is ridiculous. Why in the world did Quirrell even have a troll?”
They quickly moved to the door and opened it. The room was just as how Chris remembered it to be in the movies, a table with 7 very different bottles. While this part of the movie wasn't action filled, it was one of the most memorable for Chris due to the riddle and the purple and black flames.
”Huh, for someone that nasty, Snape's test isn't all that bad,” Harry said as both of them entered the room.
Immediately, the purple and black flames appeared blocking the entrance and exit of the room.
”Oh I knew that something related to Snape wouldn't be good,” Harry said.
”There's a paper over there so let's read it,” Chris said. He picked up the paper and read it together with Harry.
”Is this a riddle?” Harry asked.
