"So disappointing brother dear..." |
"I must agree dear brother..." |
"So much potential wasted..." |
"By having such short term goals." |
The Weasley twins smiled a shark like smile at the Slytherins. |
"This has nothing to do with you blood traitor!" Draco snapped. |
"Oh but it does darling Drakeling..." |
"You attack one of us..." |
"You attack us all and..." |
"Luna is one of us." |
"Is there a problem here?" Came the voice of Professor. Flitwick. |
Draco’s eyes went wide for a fraction of a second before he schooled his features. "No sir. Just a slight misunderstanding." |
Flitwick wasn’t buying it but let it slide...this time. "Very well. Retrieve your wand Mr. Malfoy and perhaps it would be best for you and your compatriots to move along. I would hate to inform Severus of his house losing points because of a misunderstanding." |
Draco quickly grabbed his wand, and he and the other Slytherins made a hasty retreat. |
"Enjoy the rest of your day ladies and gentlemen." The students watched as the professor walked in the opposite direction. |
"Are you really related to that git?" Ron asked as he checked Luna for any injury, even though not a single spell was thrown." |
"Yes. Great grandpa Jacques used to give the best presents. He’s gone now but I do have fond memories of him." |
"Me and Amanda want to stroll around the lake. Later!" They all watched as Lee and his date went towards the Black Lake. |
"Why don’t you four continue on with your date." Fred suggested. "The food is amazing. Trust me." |
The younger teens agreed and continued on to Michaels. |
Harry had set up a tab for them, but Ron had whined about him spending his money on their date. All that it took was a sad look from Harry and his statement that he never had friends to buy anything for before and that he knew they wouldn’t take advantage of him. He had turned to walk away with a dejected posture. He h... |
"I was an idiot to not agree to this right off." Ron said as he undid the top button of his pants with a sigh of relief. |
They had tried a variety of things. Ron had declared that the bacon cheeseburger was his new favourite meal. Ginny loved the fish and chips immensely. Neville ordered a small pizza sampler, and Luna adored her chicken alfredo. They all sampled each other’s dish, although Luna found the cheeseburger to be a bit greasy. ... |
As they had promised Harry, they made sure to get the to go order for the Patil twins that he wanted to surprise them with. One was vindaloo, and the other was korma. He had the chef put the meat separately because he did not know what they liked. They had a choice between chicken, lamb or just the vegetables. Both dis... |
They looked around the shops some more going into some of them as they picked up what they needed. Eventually they decided to head back to the castle as it was starting to get colder. |
"That was a most pleasant day. I think I will go to my room and take a nap." Luna said in that sweet voice of hers. |
"I shall walk you to the Ravenclaw dorms my lady." Ron bowed dramatically and placed her hand in the crook of his arm. Then he turned around and shouted at his sister and Neville. "Later losers!" He and Luna separated in time to avoid a stinging hex. |
"You know Gin. Sometimes I hate your brother." |
"Join the club." She growled before she schooled her features. She took a page out of her brother’s book. "Shall we retire to more comfortable environs my lord?" |
"It would be my pleasure to escort you to Gryffindor manor where we shall regale ourselves of times of olde." |
They both giggled as Neville took Ginny’s hand and placed it inside his elbow. |

The day moved on slowly for the inhabitants of Hogwarts. The biggest highlight so far was the high pitched squeal of delight from the Patil sisters when Harry presented them with the takeaway packages at the Great Hall entrance. |
"All I ask is that you give me your honest opinion. One of the cooks is of Indian descent. They also have cooks from various other countries that stop by for a few days a month. They are hoping to have a taste from around the world routinely." |
"Thanks Harry!" Each Patil sister attempted to kiss him, but fortunately he was saved by Fred and George yanking him behind them. "Ours!" They both said with a glower at the girls. |
The sisters decided to sit at the Ravenclaw table together and share their meal. |
As Harry was sitting down to dinner, which was not what he wanted to do, but the twins had insisted as he had not eaten all day except a light snack around one, he heard a noise. It sounded like metal banging in time to a cadence. |
"Oh good they are right on time." Carmen clapped excitedly. |
"Who is right on time?" Dumbledore asked. |
The warden looked at him and then to Minerva in confusion. "You didn’t tell him?" |
Minerva sighed. Sometimes dealing with Albus was a chore. "Albus did you not check your internal mail this morning? Or yesterday for that matter?" |
"You are well aware that I am a busy man Minerva. And I was under the impression that you were doing that for me." |
Minerva dropped her napkin on her plate in anger. "Yes I was. But I also remember quite clearly telling you months ago that I was done doing your job and mine! I told you that you needed to start dealing with your own memos!" |
"Is that why my request for more seedlings in October have not been processed?" Professor Sprout glared at the Headmaster. |
"Quarrel later children." Carmen chided as she flashed to the middle isle as the door opened to reveal a squad of armed goblins. Both of her brothers, Neville, and all of the Weasleys were behind her. They all deeply bowed as one being sure to bare their necks. |
"I bid you welcome to the hallowed halls of Hogwarts. May this night see great profit for us all." Carmen said respectfully. |
"And to you Madame LaVaunt, may your vaults remain filled with the riches of your enemies as their blood sweetens your blade. I am Dorak. Chief Beastmaster of Gringotts Britain." |
Everyone continued to watch the spectacle in awe. All except the Headmaster who was going from confused to angry rather quickly. |
Carmen nodded and gestured for Harry to step forward. "This is the one who slayed the beast." |
All of the goblins had looks that varied from thoughtful to disbelief to anger. |
"You have brought us here under false pretenses! He is but a youngling!" |
Carmen quickly switched to Gobleihn. "You were not completely informed Beastmaster and for that I am sorry. He did slay the beast when he was not even thirteen years old. That old fool..." Carmen shot her thumb behind her towards Dumbledore. "...allowed a mere babe to slay the beast when he should have closed down the ... |
It was odd really. No one had ever seen a fully kitted out goblin give a full on belly laugh, let alone twelve of them. The students and staff were looking on in complete fascination. |
"I like you. You have the heart of a gobliness warrior." |
Carmen gave a smile and switched to English. "I have fought in many battles Beastmaster. Both magical and mundane. One day we shall break bread and share our body counts but until such a time, we are wasting gold." |
"I agree." Dorak turned to Harry. "The Director said that a youngling slayed the beast, but he is prone to pranking various departments." |
"Is he really?!" The Weasley Twins asked happily. |
"NO!" Harry, Carmen, Ginny, Morpheus, and Ron all shouted at the same time. |
"Oh come on..." |
"What could be..." |
"Better in the world... |
"Then a goblin prank!" |
Harry just shook his head as he ran a hand down his face. He saw that the goblins looked confused, so he sighed and answered their unasked question. "Their goal in life is to open a joke shop." |
Dorak snorted in amusement. |
"Would someone be kind enough to tell me what is going on?" Albus inquired. |
"Oh. Sorry professor. They are here to harvest the beast in The Chamber." Carmen replied with a smile. |
Albus blinked rapidly. "I beg your pardon?" Albus had been trying to get into the Chamber after the incident had occurred, but he was having no luck. |
Harry ignored him and walked to the Head Table. "Professors. As the Goblin Nation does not like to waste time, I would like for the Heads of House and two seventh years of your choosing to accompany us to The Chamber of Secrets. You may then of course share with the rest of the staff your findings." Harry gave a respec... |
"You should have come to me first Harry." |
Harry frowned. "I followed procedure Headmaster. I appealed to my Head of House. She approved it per the school rules and international law." |
"For something this important, you should have informed me directly." |
Harry was playing the confused naive student perfectly as he started scratching the back of his head. |
"Hermione has attempted to drill the school rules into me, I may have missed one or two. But I do remember the chain of command. At least I think I do." |
Fred and George snorted in unison. He knew damn well about the chain of command. They both turned to Carmen whose face was a blank mask except for the eyes that were slightly dancing with mischief. |
"Gentlemen. If we are done, we are wasting gold and I would like to get on with the task." |
"Very well." The Headmaster sighed. He looked around to see the students that each Head of House had summoned. He was however surprised to see two sixth year Gryffindors standing with Minerva. |
George interpreting his confusion just shrugged and said "We’ve been down there already professor. Thought me and Freddie would give someone else a chance." |
Albus almost cringed at the identical shark like grins the boys were sporting as he turned their way. He needed to get Harry away from them. They were too strong willed and far too independent. He turned to the other staff. Professor Babbling please make sure the students return to the common rooms." |
"Of course Headmaster." |
"This way sir." Natasha gestured towards the massive doors as she took the lead. Harry and Morpheus were hot on her heels. |
Everyone made their way to the girl’s bathroom in quick order, as Harry and Carmen approached the massive sink. |
"Oooh! Harry Potter. You’re back!" |
Harry sighed and turned around as he plastered a smile on his face. "Hello Myrtle. How have you been?" |
The ghost pouted and crossed her arms. "You promised to come see me." |
Harry crossed his arms and tried to look as sorry as he could muster. |
"I’m sorry Myrtle. Things have been a little crazy at the moment, but I give you my word. I will visit you regularly from now on." |
Myrtle gave a ghost like blush and attempted to kiss him, but only managed to nearly pass through him. "Oh dear. It’s the dead thing again I suppose." |
Carmen was leaning on her brother laughing quietly. Only Harry could manage to charm a ghost. |
Harry cleared his throat. He ignored the quiet smiles of the adults and the outright guffaws of the students. "Yes. Well. We are going down into the Chamber, would you care to join us?" |
"No. That place is evil. But I’d be willing to share my toilet with you if you die." She gave a flirty smile. |
Carmen almost collapsed to the ground she was laughing so hard along with the other students. |
"That’s very nice of you Myrtle." |
Myrtle waved at him and dove into the closest toilet. |
Harry sighed as he turned to the others. Many were in various stages of mirth. "Yeah yeah laugh it up. Anyway since someone saw fit to have me change the password, it will take both Carmen and I to open it." He glared at Carmen. |
"Why did she have you change it?" Albus inquired. |
Harry just huffed and crossed his arms. Silently fuming to himself. |
"I had him change it because he decided, like a moron, to go into a place that only he or I could enter since old Voldy probably won’t show up any time soon. Then proceeded to stay down there for four hours. Fred and George were frantic with worry when they cornered me for answers to his whereabouts. I sent a message o... |
"I was perfectly fine." Harry pouted. |
"You are a fifteen year old boy who has more than a few worthless scumbags after you. Perfectly fine is not in your repertoire. What if you had hurt yourself and no one knew where you were? But that is a continued argument for another time. We have work to do." |
"Why is it only that the two of you that can get into the entrance?" A Hufflepuff asked. |
