Lockheart. was. an. IDIOT!
harry wanted to strangle the man at least the homicidal manic last year actualy taught them somthing harry didnt give a shit if lockheart was a purshion blue or a flamingo pink guy.
The green eyed boy took a deep breath and ignored the man for self study.
His classmates seem to be doing somthing similar and one of the other raven claws stopped the imbecile opening the cage of some cornish pixies.
So the class went well as could be expected.
Though harry did have a laugh when he heard about Godricks disaster class.
This year was going well he was getting so close to a full transformation and his grades and money making projects were going extremely well except that he was hearing a whispering of killing, harrys acid green eyes narrowed however he figured it best to stay away from the voice so he changed directions when he walkes into it.
However when the petrifications started harry went straight to his head of house and explained about the voice.
Flitwick went to Dumbledore but nothing could be done and because harry wasnt ever near the victims when they were attacked no one had any idea what was happening.
Harry was a little afraid however he kept his rule of never following that voice.
So he was rather suprised when he was hit from behind and found himself in a dank chamber several yards from his brother and a red haird girl, as if he was taken by mistake and tossed to the side.
It was later that harry heard the conversation between his brother and young voldemort that harry knew he was taken by mistake.
However he was shocked when Godrick cryed and called fawkes who flashed it grabbed Godrick and left leaving harry and a fadeing ginny.
Tom heard harrys step and looked over not seeing anything he called the great snake from her nest.
"Find the intruder!"
Harry silently cursed and seeing his clumsy human legs would make noise he decided better try and see if he could manage transfiguration under stress.
He pictured his leopard and then he was.

However he was rather large and the statue wasnt hideing him anymore.
He could hear voldemort hiss in panic though harry couldnt figure out why, he breathed out to calm himself and a purple miasma blew from his maw poluting the air.
Harrys eyes widened and more purple toxin swerled from his mouth and nose.
"NANDU!"
the teen dark lord looked panicked and started to run to preserve his new forming body from the toxic fumes the great cat released.
Harry didnt focus on him, there was a basilisk trying to look him in the eye.
Harry hissed rawred and swiped his large paw at the snakes face getting its eyes but getting a cut up his arm from the scale spikes on its head.
The beast was blind but still dangerous.
Harry hissed again releasing more fumes, the air in the upper chaimber was all poision gass now and it was working it's way down with each breath he took.

Harry bared his teeth and was about to lunge when harry saw the snake begin to convulse, it had breathed his miasma and was now slowly dieing.
Harry did notice that when the poison got close to ginny a convenient phoenix swooped in and got the girl from harm harry watched the beast die crushing the small book with its scales splashing ink and Harry could hear a distant scream of pain.
He watched as the body of the snake stopped moving and then he slowly went to the water to see his reflection.
What he saw was a baby leopard with purple smoke coming from its mouth and nose and glowing very bright acid green eyes that reflected the light.
