Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8079676/22/A quick flash of flame, and Harry was suddenly standing in Myrtle's bathroom. Releasing Fawkes, he went over to the sink where the entrance was, idly casting a ward on the door with the Hat's instructions. He could tell that it was supplementing his abilities slightly, but to what extent he did not know. Finding the carved snake, Harry tried to speak Parseltongue, deciding to start with 'open' before he would try other passwords.
It took him a minute to get into the right mindset to speak it; he needed to be speaking to a snake, so he imagined himself doing so. When the sink reacted to his first attempt, Harry briefly thought about the arrogance of some wizards.
"Arrogant by the present standards, yes." The Hat pointed out as they witnessed the sink descend out of sight to reveal a wide pipe. "But back then, they were standing above those who did not have magic. The world has changed greatly."
That it has. Harry frowned at the pipe. Is the Basilisk this small?
"No, a Basilisk is much, much bigger than this."
Harry stared at the pipe for a moment longer, then hissed, "Wider."
The pipe responded by consuming more of the surrounding sinks, until it was large enough for five men to enter it simultaneously. It also released an intense stench that made Harry cover his nose in reflex.
