A different kind

At the bottom of the tunnel, Harry looked around. Severus landed with an \"oomph\" and stood up,
dignified. He thoughtfully cast a \"Lumos\" and looked around, wrinkling his nose in disgust. Harry
spotted Peter, who was staring at Harry.

\"So it really is you Harry.\" Peter whispered. Harry fixed his gaze upon Peter. He looked the same
as ever. Harry nodded sharply. Severus stepped up behind Harry and glared down at Peter.

\"Why in the devil are you helping us?\" Severus demanded. Peter looked nervous, glanced around,
and only after he was sure that no one was listening, he let out a soft cough.

\"I\'m not Peter.\" He explained. At this, both men sucked in air as surprise shocked them into
inhaling rather sharply. \"It\'s me, Bill Weasley. We killed Peter after we caught him and I took his
place as a deep spy in Voldemort\'s ranks. Before we killed him, I took in all of his memories so I
could be more convincing.\" The fake Peter Pettigrew explained. Harry stared at him for a minute.
Bill fixed his gaze on Harry. \"Sorry mate, about Peter betraying your parents the day he did. No
one deserves to be betrayed like that. And I seriously didn\'t know about Dumbledore being
Voldemort, but you do know that we have to kill him now. If he\'s become two dark wizards in his
life, both to be mentioned for the rest of history, than we need to kill him.\" Bill informed him. Harry
gave him a steady look and returned to his quiet place, where his expression and his eyes went
very cold.

\"You do what you have to and I\'ll do what I have to.\" Harry replied. He then turned and began to
walk away. Severus and Bill turned to look at each other and then Severus snorted.

\"Drop the glamours.\" He growled and then began to walk away. Bill adopted a goofy grin and did
as Severus had commanded him to.

\"Coming honey pot.\" He called out mockingly and followed Severus, who was following Harry. When
they arrived at the Basilisk\'s body, Severus\'s eyes widened and Bill let out a long, low whistle,
obviously impressed.

\"That there\'s a big snake.\" Bill said to no one inparticular.

\"I killed it in my second year. I got lucky. I was foolish back then.\" Harry said coldly, and then looked
around the chamber and then he frowned. \"Damn. I\'m going to have to transform.\" Harry said softly.


\"What?\" Bill asked. Severus just turned and gave Harry a raised eyebrow.

\"I have to turn into my animigus form. Not many poeple know that when you change into an animigus,
you can track another animigus, considering their form. I\'ve tracked a snake before. I can do it again,
even if this place is filled with water.\" Harry said, and with that, he transformed into a giant leopard.

He began to sniff all around him and began to head down one of the tunnels. The other two followed
him until they came to an open door. Harry changed back, and studied the door carefully.

\"He transformed back before he went down.\" He informed the other two and began to walk down. He was
careful, watching for traps of any kind. They were almost all the way downstairs when a ghost appeared
in front of them.

\"Ahh, more visitors.\" The ghost said, raised eyebrows. Harry glared at him, Bill blinked in surprise at the
ghost, and Severus\'s gaze was too intent upon Harry\'s butt to take in the fact that an unusual ghost that
no one had seen in centuries was standing in front of him. The ghost noticed this, and with an amused
smirk, he turned back to Harry. \"I had no idea that two of my descendants would be visiting my lab today.\"
The ghost commented. Harry came out of his quiet place and smiled up at the ghost.

\"You must be Salazaar Slytherin. I read a book about how you and the founders used to haunt the school
but your ghosts disappeared after a time.\" Harry told the ghost. Salazaar smiled.


\"Yes, it was Godric\'s idea. He said that it would be best if we left everyone to their own devices without us
looking over their shoulders to make sure it met our approval. We\'ll peek in every now and again to make
sure that no one\'s destroying all of our hard work. So far, we\'ve been pleased with the results, but you
young man, you are a disappointment. We had so much hope in you and you ran away for some
silly idea about how you couldn\'t abtain the training you needed here. You disappointed all four of
us, Harry. Now, I suggest you continue downstairs and go take care of that other crazy descendant
of mine before we have to. I\'d prefer it if you didn\'t kill him, just knock him about a little and do
that nifty binding spell and memory charm you learned with that mudblood girl.\" He said and
disappeared. Harry scowled.


\"Hermione is not a mudblood!\" He yelled, and after pouting, he turned around and caught Severus
staring at his arse. He grinned as Severus\'s attention quickly snapped up to his face. \"Watch it Sev.\"
He warned before with a chuckle, he continued down the stairs. Bill watched them go with amusement.
He never knew that Harry and Severus had had a thing.

Marlene searched the school, but couldn\'t find a trace of Harry. She was storming down the hall that led
to the Gryffindor tower when a strange ghost appeared in front of her. When they had first some here,
she had met all of the ghosts so she could use them as a way of bettering her information and history
of some of the students, for who better to ask than a ghost who talked with the students and watched
them as they moved about during the day?


\"Who are you?\" She asked, on the alert. The ghost chuckled.


\"My name is Helga Hufflepuff. My friend, Salazaar just informed me that Harry Potter, Severus Snape,
and Bill Weasley are all currently down in that dratted chamber that he created when we first built this
school. I suggest that you quickly go down there. Voldemort is with them. The entrance is still open and
is located in Moaning Myrtle\'s bathroom. Could you please tell Harry that he should come visit me in
my garden some time? I\'m quite sure that if he looks hard enough on his map, he\'ll be able
to find where my tower is located.\" Rowena said and then sunk into the floor before Marlene
could have a chance to ask her how she had known that she was looking for Harry. She
brushed that aside and quickly went to Moaning Myrtles bathroom to go help Harry.

Charlie was huffing and puffing. He had realized that Harry was going to go after
Voldemort on his own just a couple of minutes ago. The death eaters were almost
all gone. A pain in the ass to kill, but they were still dropping like flies. He was
sure that it would be okay if he went to go help Harry. As long as that snakey
bastard died, everything was going to be alright.


He entered the Great Hall when a ghost appeared in front of him. He blinked in
surprise at her. He didn\'t remember ever seeing her when he was a student.
Maybe she was a new arrival or something.


\"You! The Weasley that I\'ve been searching for. Go directly to Moaning Myrtle\'s
bathroom, go through the passage down into the chamber of secrets, take the
third tunnel on the left, and keep going down until you come to a door. Go
through the door, down the stairwell and through the wooden door and into the
labratory in there. That\'s where you\'ll find Harry battling Voldemort. And tell
him to visit me in my tower. I don\'t like to be disturbed from my studies.\" The
ghost informed him and began to walk away. Charlie blinked for a moment in
surprise.


\"Hey, who are you?\" He asked. She looked back at him sharply, briefly
reminding him of Harry when he got pissed off.


\"Rowena Ravenclaw of course! The kids these days. Not a brain in any of their
skulls.\" She muttered and disappeared. Charlie stared after her before snapping
out of it and took off for the designated girl\'s bathroom. He could handle shock
later. Right now, he had to get to that bloody girl\'s bathroom.
