Artemis swung her satchel over her shoulder and made her way along the dark passage way toward the dungeon, she was late and professor Snape was going to kill her, literally, she had heard rumours!
The dungeon was quiet as the door creaked open, Snape was nowhere to be seen, so breathing a sigh of relief she sat down at the bakc of the class and quickly opened her book shooting a look at her neighbours to see what page they were at.
"I'm glad you saw fit to join us, Miss Mills." a chilled voice cooed from the corner of the room. Snape stood almost invisible in his dark robes in the shadow of a bookcase, flicking through a cracked leather bound book.
"10 points from Gryffindor, and detention, you will go into the crypts and fetch some worm rot, if thats not too difficult, hurry up don't wait to tonight go now!" he snapped, Artemis rose from her seat and then froze as she thought of the darkness beneath the school, she didn't want to go but she didn't dare defy snape.
"Please sit I don't want to go alone!" she squeaked terrified. Snape only glared at her anger glinting coldly behinf his black eyes.

"Fine then." said Snape, evily glaring at his second-least-favourite-student. "Katrina will accompany you as well."
"What?" said Katrina, "But, but"
"You were late last week-" said Snape.
"And I served my detention." said Katrina.
"But I don't think you've learned your leson yet. If you had then you would not have spoken back to me today. Now Go."
"Thanks a lot Artemis." said Katrina

"I'm sorry!" she mumbeled as she closed the door to the crypt behind them, "I just really don't want to be here at al least of all alone"
"I'm not even sure what Worm rot is!" she said her voice high pitched with fright "I'm rubbish at herbology!"
The dank corridor shrank and the distnat torches became tiny pin pricks of light when Artemis mumbled softly to the darkness "Lumos" and her and ignited with a hiss

Katrina also muttered 'Lumos' and then she looked down the rows and rows of various bottled filled with green and blue liquids, some of them were bubbling. There were also boxes, some of them were labeled. things like "aconite" and "bezoar: Antidote" and "Doxycide". "These are in alphabetical order," said Katrina, "Worms rot will be right at the back."

"great!" Art rumbled her voice thick with sarcasm.
their footsteps echoed through the high chamber and dust rose in little puffs at their feet.
As they passed a large flask of an evil green liquid with what appeared to be a baby pig floating in it, Art cried out in horror and suddenly pointed a mischievious glint in her green eyes.
"What about a quick detour?" she asked motionin ot the dorrway half conceald behind the jars.

"No way." said Katrina, "you already got me in enough trouble today. Lets just get in, and get out."

"Oh come on!" Artemis pleaded "I bet Snape keeps all sorts of cool stuff in there. Really nasty potions, and the bodies of dead pupils..." she made a face at Kat.
"Oh please we can just say we got lost! He'll never know! please please please!"

"I don't know Art," said Katrina looking longingly at the jars of pickled dung beetles. "Snape always seems to know when I lie. His eyes creep me out."

"So eh do what I do! Don't look him straight in the eye and don't eat eh anything he gives you!" she smiled lamely at the end.
"Come on! it would be majourly fun!!" she pleaded.

Art grinned and dashed for the door and threw it wide open.
A smell like old eggs hit her in the face and she took a last gulp of clear air and steped inside.
the room was dusty and not so much a room but a tunnel. The roof was low and a sound of drippunf water reverberated off the slimy walls and ceiling.

"Hey," said Katrina, pointing to a yellowy substance on the shelves, "That looks like sulpher."

Come on just a little further!" she said and suddenly screamed as the light from her wand illuminated something fearsome and terrible in the darkness.
"Lost your way miss Mills?" she vampiric visage asked them,
"Yee'sss sir!" Art stuttered and tried to plead Kat to go along with the story silently.
Snape loomed over them both like a giant bat, he was even more terrifing in teh darkness down here than he was in his class room.
