Can you remember what happened when you got Petrified?
I mean. You don't have to say if you'd rather not think about it.
I was just wondering if you saw Hydra Lestrange when it happened. I mean, if she was really letting out the basilisk, how come she didn't get petrified or killed from looking at it?
I don't remember anything about seeing Hydra Lestrange. I was out just before curfew. The Headmistress had asked me to go to the library to return a book for her and get another one out. And I turned a corridor and Nearly Headless Nick was there, and I stopped to talk to him--he's a nice ghost, and he always talks to me like I'm a student, you know? Anyway, I was looking at him, and then there was a noise, a sort of sliding sound. Nick turned around to face whatever-it-was, sort of floating in the air, you know. And I could see it through him, a dark shape rearing up, and--and then I guess I don't remember anymore.
Blimey, that must be why I lived, seeing it through Nick. Because if I'd seen it straight on, it would have killed me.
I'll have to thank Nick when I see him. He saved my life. I've never heard of a ghost saving anyone's life before. That may be a first. Maybe he'll be chuffed about it. I hope so.
