Hogwarts RPG Name:
Secret Snape
First Year |  You can quote, disagree with, glorify or vilify me But about the only thing you can't do is ignore me
 I sat cross-legged in the common room, studying my egg. The flames of the fire reflected on the egg. I sighed. I had opened it, but all I heard was a screeching. I couldn't make it out. Everyone else had gone to bed. I put my head on the egg, wanting to understand it. It sounded like Mermish...
Hang on. Mer-People can only speak properly under-water. I looked round, and tiptoed to the door.
'Where are you going?' asked a voice.
I spun to see Remus's head in the fire.
'Remus!' I whispered, running back to the fire.
He grinned up at me.
'I'll ask again, where are you going?' he repeated.
'Err... I'd rather not say.' I said.
'For a walk?' said Remus.
It wasn't question, it was a statement.
'Yeah.' I said.
'Watch out. We don't need you in anymore trouble. I won't breath easy until this tournament is over, and that's not until June.' said Remus, and I could tell he was worried.
'I'll watch out. I promise you.' I said, and left the common room to the Prefect Bathroom. Being me, I already knew the password.
'Pine Fresh.' I muttered.
The door opened.
'AH!' said a voice from inside.
'AH!' I exclaimed.
'Baylee?' asked The voice.
'Harry? Are you decent?' I asked.
'Course I am.' he said and I came in, and saw him in his trunks. A small laugh escaped my mouth.
'What are you doing here?' he asked, but he had a grin.
'Could ask you the same thing.' I said.
I held the egg up.
'I figured out that the screeching in Mermish. When underwater they can be heard clearly.' I said.
'You sound like Hermione.' said Harry.
'Please don't say that.' I said.
He studied his egg.
'So that's what you do.' he said.
'Yeah, could I use the bath then?' I asked.
'Feel Free.' he said.
I rushed into the toilets and emerged in my costume.
'And I thought I looked silly in my costume.' said Harry, who was back in the swimming pool/bath.
'Well, you obviously thought right then.' I said, clambering in.
It was huge. I ducked under and opened my egg.
"Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching, ponder this;
We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And recover what we took,
But past an hour - the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back."
I floated the surface.
'Does it make any sense?' asked Harry.
'Yeah.' I said.
He breathed and ducked. A few moment later, he resurfaced and looked at me.
'I know.' I said.
'How on earth...' he began.
'Beats me. You wanna race?' I asked, a mischievous grin on my face.
'You're on.' said Harry.
We lined up.
'3, 2, 1, GO!'
'You're well good.' said Harry as we went back to the common room.
I shrugged.
'Practice.' I said.
I looked at my egg.
'How on earth are we meant to hold survive underwater for an hour' asked Harry, not concentrating on where he was stepping and his foot sank right through the trick step, dropping his egg.
'Arg!' I said, quickly casting a powerful Disillusionment Charm on myself.
'That was close Potter.' said Moody, handing Harry the egg and map back.
I took the charm off and Moody seemed shocked to see me appear.
'That was a powerful charm Miss Lestrange.' he said.
'Nothing much.' I said, hoisting Harry out the trick stair.
'Dancing partners!' I exclaimed.
'I don't dance.' moaned Harry.
'Forget Dancing, I can, I'll teach you, we need to find Partners!' I said.
'You can ask Fred.' said Harry.
'No she can't.' said George, joining us.
'Why not?' asked Me and Harry in union.
'He just asked Angelia, to show Ron it was a piece of cake.' said George.
'Oh, forgetting the fact I was his Girl-Friend obviously.' I said crossly.
I was hurt.
'Fred Weasley!' I shouted as we saw Fred coming towards us.
'Busted!' said George.
'Hey, babe, what's wrong?' asked Fred.
'Isn't that Angelia?' I said.
'Oh God.' said Fred, covering his mouth.
I turned round, walking until I was round a corner, then broke into a run to the common room. I threw myself on a sofa, crying.
'What's wrong?' asked Hermione, sitting next to me.
'Yeah, what's up Baylee?' asked Ginny.
'Fred, that's what.' I mumbled.
'Did he break up with you?' asked Hermione gently.
'No, he just asked Angelia to the ball, obviously forgetting I was his Girl-Friend.' I said and started to cry again.
Hermione pulled a pack of tissues out her pocket and helped me wipe my eyes.
'I am going to kill my brother.' said Ginny.
'What did I do?' asked Ron coming in.
'Not you, Fred.' said Ginny.
