Chapter 10: Spying On A Spy
After a lengthy conversation with the professors, Harry, Hermione and Ron went back to the common room looking defeated.
" I can't believe the professors actually thought we'd do something so ludicrous! " Hermione exclaims in frustration, " It's more surprising in the fact that you lied to them really, thanks by the way. " Ron says surprised.
" Are none of you going to question that mysterious voice that helped us get out of that situation? " Harry asks the two flabbergasted.
" Well yes I am, though it's not like we can do anything about it. Besides we've already got to much on our plates without the mysterious voice added into the mix. " Hermione states in her matter of fact tone.
And as the three bickered about their homework and how the dangerous the situation they were in was, Louis with Gideon - a wild Griffin - were both thinking of the best way to dispose of the trolls body.
" Can't I just cast a spell that makes the troll vanish completely, never to be seen again? " Louis asks Gideon, who in turn shakes his head.
" Fine, do you suppose dropping it off at the womping willow would work? It does seem a bit lonely lately. " Gideon contemplates it before nodding his head in agreement.
" Great! Now the question, Apparate? Or levitation? " The Griffin gives the boy a look that seems as if it's judging him. " Apparating it is then! I'll see you tomorrow Gideon! " With that, he apparates to the womping willow with the troll in the air close behind him.
No sooner had Louis left, did a figure appear close to the area. " I can't believe he does these stupid things when there's no classes in session. I have got to have a talk with Justin about this - like father like son I guess. " The figure apparates back to where it came from.
Reappearing back in the common room where Richard and Annie were, the golden like trio seemed to be deep in conversation with each other about a topic.
" Can they be anymore obvious? " Annie states, " Can't really say if they'll upgrade from suspicious to straight up obvious. " Richard replied to which Annie shrugs her shoulders.
" Hey Cous' anything new happen while I'm gone? " Louis asks them as he walks in. " The usual, laughing crying, declarations of this and that. " Richard says nonchalantly with a wave of his hand.
" Anyways! It appears that a spy has entered the mix. " Annie reports her findings that she discovered after the troll incident. "
" You don't say Ann? You do know that we have a spell that lets us look into memories of basically anything right?
It does after all, make things much easier then retrieving a tear, dropping it into a basin filled with liquid, and proceeding to dump your head into the water and hopefully not drown yourself. The whole process in itself is ridiculous I tell you. " Richard grunts in frustration.
Louis seeming to have been lost in his own thoughts, came out of it with a eureka " Have you two noticed how.....How do I say this without sounding rude? Wimpy and pathetic our DADA professor is? "
The two nod after some thought, " That and the fact that he practically turned pathetic after his travels to somewhere I don't really recall but is important? " he continues forgetting the area the bald professor went to.
As the two cousins signal for him to continue with a nod from their heads Louis, who's face had been stuck in contemplation, lit up as brightly as the sun once he came up with an idea.
" Louie, if you're thinking what i think you're thinking, do not do what i think you're thinking for all things good and Merlin. " Richard pleads to his cousin.
' But Richie! Think about it! The guy won't even know I'm there! Family inherited powers remember? ' Louis states the fact while swinging his arms in the air to prove his point while sending his telepathic message over.
Richard just gave his cousin a serious look, but could only sigh in defeat as he could see the sparkles radiating off the boy at the thought of a new adventure.
" Alright fine! You can Go! " he exasperates in annoyance as Louis jumps into the air practically shaking with happiness. " So when Are you going to execute the plan Louie? " Annie asks her younger cousin seeming to have dragged him out of his excitement.
' Riiiight, forgot about that part.....Tonight sounds great since tomorrow is when I'm meeting Gideon to hang out with and I've got to do some things that will keep me busy for quite a while. ' " Tonight, after curfew. " he says calmly and heads off back to the dorms.
when the night strikes 12 and everyone's asleep. Louis and Bandit are in the suitcase waiting for the area to be clear of wondering people so they could execute the plan.
Thirty minutes pass, and the common room and dorm lights are off at last. Turning invisible and grabbing Bandit to place into his pocket, Louis heads out into the night to begin his plan.
Strolling through the deserted hallways invisible with Bandit in the pocket of his jacket, Louis seemingly strolls through millions of doors before finding the door he's been looking for.
' Seriously this school is ridiculous in more ways than one. I don't even know whether to laugh at it or cry about it. ' The door belongs to the DADA classroom and the office of a certain professor's that resided at the end of the classroom.
Noticing the door into the classroom was slightly ajar, Louis shrugged his shoulders and strolled on in.
Arriving at the end of the classroom and facing the door that stood inbetween him and Quirrell, Louis sighed and shook his head slightly at the words that spilled out from the other side of the door.
" I'm s-s-s-sorry m-master!...I-I tr-tried to e-end him as qu-quickly as I c-c-could b-bu-t the p-l-lan backf-fired t-to q-q-quickly.....Y-y-yes ma-ast-er I'll d-d-do better t-he-he ne-ext tim-ee I s-swear! "
Placing his hand to his face and dragging it down in frustration, barely holding in a grunt.
Only one thing went through Louis' mind, ' I swear. These people are so stupid to the point where I question if their actually certified to be teachers! All the signs and clues points to one specific person, and they still look around like mindless chickens hunting for food! '
The door was even tightly shut as a measure of protection but alas was futile in many ways,for the boy only had to cast a spell with a simple wave of his hand wordlessly to be able to see through the door while the other could not.
' Idiots ' Bandit remarks and snickers slightly at his caretakers actions and expressions.
Looking through the ripple he made, Louis was greeted by a horrifying sight. ' Oh gods, I'm going to need to thoroughly scrub my eyes with soap after this. '
The sight he was greeted with was his DADA professor with his turban undone, completely bald.
" How is there not a single hair seen on his head? It's so shiny. "The boy whispers under his breath - but caught it quickly - for what he saw next was even more unnerving then his bald teacher.
There was a face on the back of the head, eyes so bleak they looked dead. Nose as a representation of two slits down, and no eyebrows present.
" What is with these bad guys and being hairless? " Louis silently remarked as Bandit mimicked a gagging expression on his shoulder witnessing with his own eyes the horror in front.
' Okay then, at this point I'm just to disturbed to even want to continue eavesdropping on what they are planning.
Well.....That, and their plan is as obvious as day. Now all that's left to be done is for me to check out the place the headmaster restricted. ' With that, he skipped off heading back into the hallways to locate where the forbidden area was.
Humming a tune as he skipped through the corridor on the third floor on the right and passing even more doors.
Louis started searching for the door that every student was warned of, wanting to see first hand the dangers it held. Bandit fell asleep after it got bored of the constant walking, and was in his caretakers jacket where, softly breathing snuggling closer to its source of warmth.
Coming to a stop, Louis is now face to face with the door that held dangers unknown, a grin of excitement plastered on his face, eager to find out what resides at the other side of the door.
Opening the door and closing it quickly as he stepped in, what he faced was not what he was really expecting in all honesty. A three headed dog stood glaring at the boy, sniffing him to deem if he was a threat or not.
Louis was now having a smile brighter than the sun itself, at the revelation of him gaining a new friend. " Hi! I'm Louis, and this little guy here is Bandit! "
He greets enthusiastically as he shows the snoozing niffler in the palm of his hands to introduce it to the three headed dog. As if by magic, the creature took an immediate liking to Louis, licking his face as a way of saying ' Hi'.
Giggling at the creatures licks he couldn't help but hug the furry beast, though his arms were way to short to wrap around it entirely. " I like you! Let's be friends! " He says in excitement, rubbing his face into the strangely soft fur of his new found friend.
After playing for a while, Louis caught sight of a trap door where the three headed dog previously lay on. " Hmmmm, how curious. " Louis stated silently as he walks to the trap door while Fluffy played with Bandit.
It looked like the niffler was having an intense conversation with the three headed dog about a subject that peaked the interest of the creature no doubt.
Opening the door and peering his head down into the dark abyss for a glimpse of what lay at the bottom. Louis was greeted by endless vines that moved by themselves in the dark, seeming alive.
' The Devil's snare? What kind of psycho places these things in a school? That's it, it's official the teachers and students need a mental health check from what I've seen. '
Shaking his head in disappointment at the school of magic, one other thought raced through his mind, ' If the teachers are psychotic enough to place the Devil's Snare here, it does mean - and prove - that their keeping something of great importance nearby - or are just plain crazy.
But what do I care? I just want to see the object the school is crazy enough to protect and risk the safety of the students for. Allywoop! '
And just like that, he tossed himself into the pit trap of doom, leaving behind a talking niffler and an engrossed three headed dog to themselves.
