Chapter 10: The plan commence
Night time simply couldn’t come fast enough for the students with plans of their own, whether it is for those who will take the flying carriages to Hogsmead station before taking their train ride back to London to spend time with their family during the holiday season or for the particular students with plans to do something very questionable by law and rules of the school. The six individuals currently sitting around the table with a basket on top of it containing a baby dragon inside are firmly placed in the second category.One of the oldest among them clears his throat before speaking, “Okay, the plan is clear. Fred and I have made a sleeping potion to feed the dragon, and it seems to work based of the previous results. We have also managed to get our hands on the patrol route for Mr. Filch, each of you will hold one of the copies.” The twins hand the first years their parchment with a crude map of the castle along with dotted lines showing the Hogwarts warden’s patrol route.The first years nod their heads silently as they waits for them to finish, “Finally, our brother has mentioned in his latest reply this afternoon that he would be arriving by broom at around 11 PM. Today, luckily, is a new moon and therefore there should be plenty of darkness to cover you guys.”The twins exchange glances with each other before delivering the sour note in their plan, “Unfortunately, neither of us will be able to help any more than this. Our brother, Percy, has been selected as prefect this year and he’s been keeping a close eye on us. He’s a real stickler to the rules and won’t hesitate to report us the moment he saw us out of the bed after curfew, we’d be too much of added risk to the plan. The moment we leave this room, you lot are on your own.”Harry looks at the twins and decides to ask, “Umm… not to complain about the plan but… why can’t your brother just come to Hogwarts and pick up the dragon just like that? I mean… isn’t it much simpler than us having to sneak to astronomy tower and your brother coming by broom?”The rest of the gang turn to look at him as if he has grown a second head, while next to him, Hermione rolls her eyes as she answers, “Harry… do you really want him to arrive at the school, in front of everyone around, and what would he give his reason for visiting, anyway? ‘Hello professor, I’m just here to pick up a baby dragon from a bunch of first years that they got from Hagrid.’? Really?” The male Hufflepuff has the grace to blush in embarrassment as he speaks again while sheepishly scratching the back of his head, “Right… silly question, sorry.”The Slytherin duo at the other side of the table decide to go back to the main topic of discussion as Daphne speaks, “Me and Tracey will take the egg to the top of astronomy tower since it is at the same section of Hogwarts as Slytherin’s common room so if we are caught, then we can just tell the staff that we’re heading back to our common room. Harry and Hermione will act as backup in case we got caught…. The main problem is how you two are supposed to bring the baby dragon up the astronomy tower? I mean… I know that there is disillusion charm that supposedly able to make you turn invisible but… that’s an advanced charm magic, none of us has learnt it yet… except if Hermione has read that far in advance?” The brunette in question shakes her head as she replies, “No, I didn’t know about it until now. I read ahead… but not that far ahead.”Instead, it is Harry who supplies the solution as he reach into his bag, “I… think I have a solution for that, but…. I need all of you to promise to keep this a secret. I’m serious; this is a family heirloom I’d hate to lose.” The rest of the members turn to each other before nodding at the same time, “You have our word.”Harry turns to Hermione, as if looking for confirmation, and she nods silently before he pulls the item from inside his bag ,a glittering cloak folded neatly into a square, and puts it on the table next to the basket, “This… is our ace in the hole.” Daphne and Tracey look at the item in confusion, but the twins are another story entirely as one of them says in disbelief, “Is that… what I think it is?”Hermione nods her head once as she answers, “Yes, this is a genuine invisibility cloak. Harry got it as Christmas present from someone who claimed that it used to belong to his father. We don’t know how valuable it is… but we do know it is an extremely rare item, which is why we ask that none of you speak about it to anyone outside this room.” The rest of the people around the table nod silently, they all know how much risk having such item at school can be. The item is something that a lot of people would literally kill to have; it is THAT rare and valuable.As if to prove that it is genuine, Harry lifts the item and puts it around his body. Immediately his entire body turns invisible except for his still exposed head as he speaks, “‘Hermione and I will be sneaking under this, the cloak is obviously designed for an adult-sized person so both of us will be able to easily fit inside. We will be following Tracey and Daphne from behind, if we happen to meet a staff member, they will hopefully be able to slip us the egg and distract them long enough for us to pass without much trouble.”Suddenly, Daphne raises her wand high above her head as the words flows out from her lips before anyone can stop her, “I swear on my magic that I will never tell the existence of Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak without his express permission, so I speak, so mote it be.”The rest of the table’s occupants turn toward the blonde girl with wide eyes and dropping jaws before the two Gryffindors in the room lets out a hearty laugh as they turns to each other, one of them speaks to the other with wide grin on his face, “Fred, we are a disgrace to Gryffindor. How can we let a Slytherin first year girl one-up us in the courage department not only once, but twice?!”the other half of the twin replies with gusto, “Too true, brother. We can’t let this go unchallenged!” They both raise their wands together as they speak as one, “We swear upon our magic that we will never tell of the existence of Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak without permission, so mote it be.” Once they put their wands back on their pocket, the last Slytherin rolls her eyes with blatantly faked exasperation expression as she raises her own and completes the headcount.When Hermione reached for hers, Harry puts his hand over hers as he speaks, “No need, Hermione. I trust that you won’t tell this to anyone, let’s just stop here.” He takes off the cloak and hangs it on his arm as he turns to the others with misty eyes and his voice cracking slightly as he speaks, but the wide smile on his face tells his true feeling, “Thank you, all of you. I appreciate it, I really do.”Harry is touched by the gesture from the bottom of his heart; having spent most of his life friendless has allowed him to truly appreciate the blatant gesture of true friendship before him. He knew he was asking a lot of them with his request but wizarding vows? Not just one either, he notice that none of them had any hesitation in giving them out of their own free will. What else can he ask for?With the last thing of major concern addressed, everyone around the table turns to finishing the remaining minor things that might happen. Finally, the owl sound outside the window tells them that the night has gone late enough as the avian has started its hunting and they raise from their seat before heading towards the door. Before they exited the room, the twins turn to the first years with apologetic expressions as one of them speaks up, “Sorry that we can’t help any more than this, this time….” Their expressions brighten as the other half continues, “…but if you guys ever need our help in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. Yes, that also goes for you two Slytherins, both of you seem like quite cool people as far as we’re concerned, and that makes you good in our book.”They finally grin widely as the other half finishes, “I still can’t believe none of you ended up in Gryffindor considering how much guts you guys must have to undertake this mission. Well, good luck.”The twins gives each of the first years firm handshakes that all of them return heartily, before exiting the room, leaving the first years inside. The quartet turns to each other as Harry speaks, “Well… this is it….” The other three nods silently at the same time as the only male among them takes out the invisibility cloak and puts it around himself and his entire body vanishes from sight. He puts his arm out to grab Hermione’s before pulling her under the cloak with him before speaking toward the other two, “Okay we’re ready here, let’s proceed as planned.”The two Slytherin girls opens the classroom door casually though careful to keep it open long enough for their hidden friends to walk out of it before closing it behind them. The basket containing the still sleeping baby dragon is held carefully on Tracey’s arm. The group of four walks carefully to not rouse suspicion, stopping at every intersection to check their map once in a while and make sure that Filch is nowhere in sight before continuing.They manage to walk down several flight of stairs when suddenly they hears chuckling from the ceiling, “Kukukuku… what do I see with my little eyes, a couple first year students outside of their beds? Naughty naughty~”They look up to the ceiling and are immediately greeted by the sight of a green-ish head wearing jester-like hat, grinning ear to ear. There is no doubt to the identity of the ghost as Daphne calls him out by name, “Peeves, we don’t have time to deal with you right now. Just go away!”The apparation pulls himself out of the ceiling and floats in front of her still with his malicious grin, “And what would you do if I refuse young lady? You two Slytherins are obviously up to no good… What if I… say… scream for attention? Olalala~ that would be bad… bad indeed… for YOU!” He emphasizes the last word while pointing his finger toward Daphne and Tracey while still grinning maniacally.The poltergeist continues to taunt Daphne and Tracey, while under his cloak, Harry turn to Hermione, “We need to get him out of the way… The longer he’s distracting us, the worse our situation will be…. Worse, he might even blow our mission entirely if he finds out what we’re going to do….”Hermione nods once as she thinks for a moment, “I got an idea…” She takes out her wand and points it to Harry’s throat as she mutters, “Sonorus.” Harry’s throat glows briefly before Hermione continues, “This spell will amplify your voice temporarily… I think if you can try to make yourself sound a bit lower than your normal tone, you’d be able to impersonate the Bloody Baron’s voice. Try it to scare him off, Harry.”Harry nods and swallows once as he tries to get his vocal chord in control before growling in low voice, the amplifying charm allows his voice to resonate along the hall, “Peeves!!”The effect is nearly instantaneous as the poltergeist’s eyes widen and the grin on his face disappears to be replaced with a fearful expression. The poltergeist looks around him for any hint of the Slytherin house ghost but finds no sign of him. With Hermione’s approval, Harry decides to try once again and immediately the jester-looking ghost panics doubly as he turns to Daphne and Tracey as if he is going to say something more but decide to forego it as he flies away from them but not before knocking a suit of armor crashing down as he disappears through the wall.Hermione cancels the amplifying charm on Harry before speaking in her normal tone so that her two Slytherin friends can hear her as well, “Come on, let’s hurry. The last thing we want is for Mr. Filch to find us because of that racket….”The quartet make their way towards the astronomy tower; They are nearing the Slytherin common room, when they hear when they hear Ms. Norris’ voice from nearby. Their eyes widen as Daphne turns to her invisible friends, “This is bad… you two go, take the baby dragon with you. Tracey and I will see if we can stall him somewhat… if we pretend that we have just arrived here, he might not give us detention.”Harry barely able to say, “But…” when he is interrupted by tracey as she holds out the basket and speaks hurriedly, “There is no time, Harry. Just GO!” Hermione’s arm reaches out from the invisibility cloak and grabs the offered item before pulling it back under the cloak. As if on cue, Filch’s voice comes from the hallway as he approaches, which signals to Harry and Hermione that they need to go. As they walk away, they hear Daphne and Tracey’s voices as they are talking with the school warden.Harry and Hermione quickly find the astronomy tower entrance, and open the wooden door carefully so as to not make a sound, before slipping inside. They climb the spiral staircase, it seem like the stone steps have been enchanted to move not unlike a modern escalator although walking would still allow them to reach the top faster. Halfway to the top, Harry pulls the cloak from him and Hermione before letting it hang on his arm, “So far so good… I hope we’re not too late and the person supposed to take the baby dragon hasn’t already gone yet.”The two first years soon reach the top floor and peek through the door in case someone is inside, luckily finding no one. They enter the room and Hermione closes the door behind them before locking it from inside while harry stands on his tip toes and looks through the high window for their contact, but no one is outside either. He turns to Hermione as he speaks, “Looks like we’re a bit early getting here, the twins’ brother isn’t here yet. How is the dragon’s condition?”Hermione nods once before pulling off the fabric covering the small reptile, slightly, for a peek, “It’s still sleeping, guess the potion that the twins mixed with its food is potent enough for it.” She turns back to Harry before continuing, “Well, nothing else to do but wait now that we’re here….”She walks toward the wall right under the window and sits there before putting the basket next to her, “I still can’t believe I didn’t think of that….” Harry raises his eyebrows as he joins her and sits at the other side of the basket, “What are you talking about?”Hermione looks at him with a small smile, “Using a potion, I mean. Dragon skin are resistant to external magic influence… but their insides aren’t quite as resistant so potions work quite well for it. That must have been the strategy that dragon handlers would have used to deal with their dragons.”Her eyes turn back to the front as she continues, “Makes sense really, I just can’t believe the twins had to point it out to us when we we’re looking for how to get the baby to behave.” Harry himself simply nodded in response, that solution had escaped him too before the twins gave the obvious and simpler option.They chats with no specific topic in mind as they wait for their contact, every once in a while looking out the window. It’s barely 15 minutes before Harry looks out of the window and sees a few specks of shadow on the sky. He squint his eyes to get clearer view of the shadow before realizing that they are people riding on brooms heading toward their direction. He immediately turns to Hermione, “Hermione, I see some people riding brooms toward us. That must be our contact… we need a way to signal them that we’re here.”Hermione stands up and peeks through the window beside Harry and immediately spots the people that her best friend is talking about, “You’re right… We need to signal them… Let’s see… I GOT IT!” The brunette draws her wand and raises it over her head as she calls out, “Lumos!”The tip of her wand starts to glow brightly as she waves is back and forth while hopping, hoping to attract the attention of their contact. Next to her, Harry immediately copies her action.Though their height barely allows them to have the glowing wands show up in the window. Fortunately, it seems like their contact has managed to spot them as they are heading straight toward their position. It doesn’t take long before the people on brooms reaches them before the person at the front, a man with neck-long red hair, speaks to them, ”Hey sorry we’re a bit late, My name is Charlie, Charlie Weasley. The twins have told me that you got your hands on a dragon egg, do you have the cargo?”
Harry looks at the man and nods before answering, “Actually… it’s a baby dragon, the egg just hatched today so… can you take it still?”Charlie’s expression turns to shock for a moment, “A hatchling? That complicates things quite a bit… but hand it over, anyway. I’ll figure out something as we go….” Both first years nods as Harry picks up the basket and tries to hold it high enough for Charlie to reach.Unfortunately, their height proves insufficient as Harry being just a little bit taller than Hermione means that she won’t be able to reach it either. The brunette peeks to talk with Charlie, “Can you lower yourself a little bit more? We can’t reach you at that height.”Charlie looks at his escort who shakes his head before turning back to them, “No can do, we’re already risking detection by coming here by broom without notice and... Damn it, I can see a light approaching our position. We need to get that cargo now or we’d risk getting seen!”Harry turn to Hermione in panic as he asks, “What do we do now?” The girl looks around them for something that they can use for support but finds none before suddenly an idea comes to her, “Lift me.”Harry looks at her and raises his eyebrow as he replies, “What? What do you mean?” Hermione answers without hesitation “Lift me, Harry. You can support me from below and lift me up with the basket.” Harry look ready to protest but Hermione cuts him off before he manages to get a word in, “We don’t have time, Harry! Come on!”She pushes Harry to get on one knee with his back against the wall and kicks her shoes off at the same time. Having no choice but to comply, Harry decides to help anyway as he positions his body for his best friend to climb on. With her best friend’s help, Hermione manages to reach the window by standing on the boy’s shoulder.She turns back to Harry with on outstretched hand, “Okay Harry, I can reach my hand out of the window now... hand me the basket, quickly.”Harry reaches for the basket next to him and immediately hands it to her. For a moment, Harry turns his face upward in order to hand Hermione the basket but he quickly lowers his head so that he is once again looking in front of him. If Hermione notices his strange behavior, she isn’t showing it as she managed to grab the basket by the handle and shove it out of the window for Charlie to grab.Finally, the brunette jumps down from his shoulder back to the solid floor before letting out a relieved sigh as she smiles at her fellow ‘Puff, “We made it, Harry. Charlie has the baby dragon and currently making his way back to Hogsmead before floo-ing back to Romania.”Harry simply nods in silence, not trusting his voice to work properly while his face feels like it is on fire though the darkness, fortunately, allows him to hide his blush from Hermione. Suddenly, a meowing sound can be heard from the other side of the door. Hermione’s eyes widen as she turns to Harry, “That must be Mrs. Norris. Harry, put on the cloak!” Harry looks at her dumbly for a while with no outward reaction to the girl’s words, prompting her to shake him by the shoulder, “Harry!”Finally, Harry snaps out of his reverie as Hermione keeps shaking him as he speaks, “Oh, right… Sorry, Hermione. I was just… umm… distracted.” He pulls the cloak and spreads it over Hermione and himself just before the door opens revealing Argus Filch carrying a lantern with Mrs. Norris meowing as she guides him. The man turns to his cat and speaks with a dry sounding voice, “Are they here, my dearie? Are there naughty students out of their beds to do bad things in this room, hmm?”Harry and Hermione carefully step towards the still ajar door as to not alert their “Hunters” before slipping pass it. They descend the spiral staircase as fast as possible without making noise, even continuing to wear the cloak until they reach the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room. It is only after they are inside their empty house common room that Harry pulls the cloak off them, “That… was close… VERY close….”Hermione nods at him and offers him a smile, “We succeed though… so… well done, Harry.” The black haired boy returns her praise with one of his own before finally letting out a big yawn, “Well… it’s late, I don’t know about you but I think I’ll just go to sleep now… night, Hermione.” The brunette giggles slightly before letting a yawn of her own, “That would be a great idea. Good night, Harry.”Both first years’ head to their respective dorms for the night but despite their tiredness, sleep does not come easily to one of them. Harry is lying on his bed after a brief shower and changing his clothes but his eyes are still open. The boy cannot help but blush as he remembers what happened when he was supporting his best friend from below as she handed the baby dragon to Charlie. Now Harry can say with 100% certainty that Hermione wasn’t lying about following the current wizarding world fashion sense….Afterall, it is rather hard to refute considering that when he looked up from his position to pass Hermione the basket, his eyes had seen the irrefutable proof by getting a complete eyeful of the girl’s bare crotch in plain view. For some reason, the image has been permanently imprinted in his mind and refuses to go away… thus the reason for his difficulty to get his much needed rest. It seem like tonight will be a very long night for one Harry Potter.AN: Ollivander and me has been in touch by email and as far as forseeable future, he will be my BETA for future releases of this story. If you see the improvement in quality between this chapter and the others before, well… it’s mostly thanks to him, do express your appreciation if it pleases you, I know I do :)
Gandalfs-Beard: Thank you. Hope you enjoy this chapter too.bill560682: You have taken the time to send me review 3x when you can just read my story till the most current and review once… I don’t mind it though it’s just strange. Well, as for Ron situation… currently, he is but a minor player in the story other than a few point of prominence here and there, I will not put the focus on him… yet. I do have plan for him but it won’t be much much later.doubledamn: Part of your answer is in this chapter, hope you find it satisfactory. Another part of it I’ll just put it here: Hogwarts is supposed to be a school… a magic school, yes but a school nonetheless where class A dangerous creature has no place to be at (at least not officially). Therefore Charlie as a dragon trainer has no reason to come to Hogwarts on official capacity neither is he able to come in personal capacity due to it being holiday. I do admit that you raise a very good question… this is my way of answering that mystery. Hope you don’t mind :)Ollivander: Thank you for the offer. I’ll be in your hands from now on, okay? I hope I won’t be letting you down :)While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
