Happy pride! I'd love to read how the folks in the Snakelet universe react to either the basilisk or Sirius black escaping.
set in Snakelet universe
Harry thinks that using a haunted girls bathroom to brew illegal potions is mismanagement of resources.
"You're just saying that because Myrtle keeps hitting on you," Daphne says.
That too.
"I know there are better places in the castle to do this," he argues. "I know Agnesa doesn't use the normal study common spaces. We could just ask her."
Draco looks up the instructions he's pouring over. "You want to tell Agnesa that we're starting an under the table, hybrid pepper up side business?"
She'd literally skin them alive. "I mean, she did say that we needed a hobby. There are some key points I'd perhaps leave out." The Weasley twins are acting as middle men. It's not they're really at risk for getting caught. "Why are we doing this anyway? None of us need the money."
"You're the one that said I needed to spend less time studying," Draco says. "If we can perfect this, we can really sell it and make a fortune. In the meanwhile, our classmates can be our test subjects."
This is so unethical. He's glad Hermione isn't here for this, although he's not sure her morals would outweigh her love of experimentation. Out of options, he resorts to complaining in Parseltongue because it pisses Draco off and he can't actually offer any logical counterarguments if he can't understand him. "This is a waste of time and money and this isn't secure and we're going to get the twins expelled the first time some idiot opens their big fat mouth-"
There's a horrible scraping sound, stone against stone, and then three of them are scrambling upright and looking to a giant pipe leading to who knows where, except he's pretty sure a sink had been there thirty seconds earlier.
"Galleon to whoever jumps down their first," Daphne says immediately.
"Are you mad?" Draco demands.
Harry has a split second to control his worst impulse and elects not to take it. He shoves Draco in the back, sending him stumbling down, his scream echoing in the bathroom.
He's laughing when he jumps down after him.
