Last Time:
Sirius waited exactly 5 minutes before getting back under Harry’s invisibility cloak and heading out to continue his task despite his earlier screw up.
XXXXXXXXXX
Remus gulped slightly out of fear. His mind was spinning as he tried to figure out if Sirius was still in the room. It took everything he had to not let his worry show on his face. Thankfully, he found two other scents that made him feel immense relief.
“You’re sort of right, but thankfully no one is in here now.” Remus said while carefully following the scent ne recognized as Naruto’s.
Mark risked removing the cloak, “That is a relief, but what do you mean?”
“You said you sealed this room off immediately after the first class, right?” Remus asked as he zeroed in on one particular desk.
Mark nodded, “Yes. I didn’t hear the door open or close after I heard it and no student was there.” He answered despite the fact that Remus was a civilian and this might be dangerous. The werewolf has been very helpful so far so it was ridiculous to not get his opinion. “What do you find strange here?” He asked and crouched down to look at the desk Remus was interested in.
“After two weeks of no classes all the scents should be gone. I should only smell yours and the scents of the first class.” Remus explained as he looked suspiciously at the desk. “Hermione is in the second class so why is her scent on this table?”
Mark’s eyes widened, “That is a good question … we sealed off all the classrooms so no one did something stupid, right?”
“Yes. I even double checked with Minerva. Everything except the library was closed off.” Remus said before looking at the underside of the table. “This scent is new … what is that? There’s something hidden around here.”
Without any hesitation Mark scanned the desk. The scan did find that something was hidden there. Thankfully, none of it seemed cursed so he used a spell to remove it. Before their eyes a journal appeared. It was just stuck to the underside of the table, but there was more. Hanging from the binding was a gold tassel.
“No way.” Mark murmured, sounding surprised and a little nostalgic.
Remus raised an eyebrow, “What is it? He asked as the Auror pulled the small journal out revealing that the tassel makes a snickering sound when it swayed. “Is that the sound you heard?” He asked when he noticed a change in Mark’s face.
The Auror nodded, “Yes this is the sound.” He commented while tapping the tassel making it snicker again. “This is a tassel buddy. It’s one of the first charm projects we make as a fifth year student in Durmstrang and you can ask it to keep track of your things or copy down lines from a textbook for note talking- … it’s also shouldn’t be in a room that was locked even if you guys do make them.”
Remus frowned when he saw Mark looking at him and shook his head, “We don’t teach that here in any year and I doubt it’d even be in the library, forbidden section or not.” He quickly clarified before the Auror assumed it was a lesson.
“I see. Why is there a forbidden section in a school filled with kids?” The Auror commented absentmindedly while temporarily being distracted by the library topic. He quickly shook his thoughts away and got back on track. “So Hermione being over zealous in her studies isn’t enough to explain this then.” Mark said and he opened up the journal. “This might be linked to a journal in her possession and her scent might be fresh because she recently refilled the ink.”
“Refilled?” Remus asked, but he suddenly remembered the time. “You can explain later. I have to appear at lunch!”
“I’ll meet you in our room. Take a few balls. Maybe the kids will like to practice.” Mark said as Remus hurried towards the door.
“Good point. It’d also explain why I’m late.” The werewolf agreed and turned on his heels to first select a few balls to take with him. “I’ll do curfew checks tonight too.” He said hoping it’d be a good excuse to check on Sirius.
Mark nodded, “Ok. It might be safer to just take this back to examine it.” He murmured and tucked the journal away in his pocket.
Once he was covered by his cloak he left. The Auror also made a point of leaving just behind Remus in case anyone was watching. While the werewolf went down to the Great Hall, Mark went back to their living quarters. Thankfully, there weren’t any portraits directly facing the doors of the professors’ living quarters. It was mainly because the adults needed some privacy. Besides, the floo in each living quarters were monitored and required a key to work. It was far more secure than before even with the portraits not facing the doors.
“Now what are you hiding?” Mark said after entering the living quarters and throwing the cloak off. He sat at the desk and looked at the journal and tassel.
XXXXXXXXXX
Remus felt so relieved as he entered the Great Hall and finally took his seat. Thankfully, he wasn’t too late. The food had only just appeared so he didn’t miss anything and no one found his absence strange especially when he had some colorful balls in his arms.
“Headmaster, if it’s ok I’m going to leave these here so the students can practice their shield spells.” Remus asked as he set the balls on the staff table and sat down.
Lucius swallowed the morsel of food his was chewing and nodded, “Yes, but it might be wise to keep in a charmed basket. I’d prefer to not have the balls getting lost or rolling on the floor. Could be an accident waiting to happen.”
Without a second thought Remus used his wand to summon a container. In a moment the balls had a charmed vessel and the werewolf settled down to eat. As he ate he wondered how much of the previous discovery was rigged by Naruto to help Sirius and how much was real. The more he thought about it the more he recalled that the ninja mainly used things his target already had in order to trap them.
(If that is hers does that mean she’s a Durmstrang student? Why would she be here?) Remus pondered unintentionally letting his eyes drift over to Hermione. Once he saw her trying to chat with Harry he realized that there was one possible motive for her being here. (Is it because this Hermione wanted Harry? Did she really leave her school just to get close to Harry? … dammit, Sirius! You’re supposed to be subtle!)
Perhaps it was actually less obvious than Remus believed and the werewolf just happened to be at the perfect angle. However, that didn’t change the fact that an invisible person was trying to open the witch’s book bag. Sadly, the bag was rigged and the bag started barking in alarm.
Lucius’ eyes narrowed, “Ok. What’s that noise?”
Harry stood up as Hermione frantically tried to stop the barking bag, “It’s Hermione’s book bag, headmaster.”
XXXXXXXXXX
Harry internally groaned in annoyance when Hermione leaned over to the table as they started eating lunch in the Great Hall, “I already promised Draco, Neville and Dean I’d be in their group for the next DADA class. Also, don’t put things on my plate.” He said and relocated the chicken she put on his plate over to Ron’s plate. Yes, he liked chicken, but he knew that she was just trying to butter him up and he refused to allow it.
“Draco?” Hermione asked, trying, but failing, to hide her irritation with the clenched teeth. “Wasn’t he with some of the other Slytherins as a group?”
(Yes, but Severus warned Draco and his friends about you, whoever you may be, and they’re determined to piss you off.) Harry thought in the safety of his mind before sighing, “We thought it’d be a fun change. If you need a partner Ron, Greg and Vincent could let you in.”
The witch couldn’t hide the distaste on her face, “No thank you. Maybe someone else needs a partner.” She muttered as she sat down to eat her own meal.
Barely a second after she sat down she was startled by a barking sound. Instead of being confused like those around her she immediately looked at the book bag at her feet. Right away she reached down and grabbed her book bag. As she fumbled with the bag she ignored Harry and the headmaster.
“Sorry, headmaster!” Hermione finally called out after stopping her barking bag. “I tried transfiguring my bag so it works as a timer. I just set it too early and too loud.”
Lucius seemed to believe it and shrugged it off, “Do be more careful next time. If you need to do this again, have someone check your spell casting. First years should be more careful. Shall I check your work now?” He asked, enjoying the way the witch twitched in annoyance.
Of course, why wouldn’t she be annoyed? Not only was she being treated as a child. Something that was probably annoying despite using the disguise of a child. However, Lucius also knew she was nervous about anyone checking her bag. He suspected that doing so would reveal a lie.
“No. Thank you, headmaster.” Hermione exclaimed quickly and was immensely relieved when everyone went back to eating.
However, she wasn’t even close to calm. It just so happens that Lucius’ suspicions were correct and she was hiding something. That something was actually that the spell on her bag was an advanced and dangerous security spell that was learned for the forbidden section in the library. She knew that someone just tried to steal from her and she was constantly glancing around to see who might’ve tried. The culprit should be hurt because of the type of spell she used.
Unfortunately, it seems it wasn’t as obvious as she hoped. When the signs she was looking for never appeared, even after everyone started leaving, she glared subtly at the Slytherin table. After all, they were already Death Eaters so in her opinion it would make sense that they’d try to steal too.
If she was more aware like Harry she would’ve also spotted the blur of a blonde ninja tackling Sirius and dragging him away. In fact, Severus, Lucius, Remus and Harry all noticed, or suspected, that something happened. With one exchange of glances they all seemed to come to a silent agreement. They were all going to meet Sirius after curfew.
The werewolf was especially eager to see his friend. Mostly because his ears caught a small yelp of pain. Was Sirius hurt?
XXXXXXXXXX
Mark didn’t realize how much time had passed until he heard Remus coming through the door, “Is it that time already? How were the last classes of the day?” He asked as he set the journal down on the desk and stretched his limbs.
“They went well, but there have been some rumors about Hermione that might add to this.” Remus commented trying to not sound anxious. Right now he really just wanted to check on Sirius, but he knew he had to not act odd.
The Auror raised an eyebrow, “Really? What kind of rumors?”
The werewolf looked a little sheepish, “Rumors might not be the right word. In fact, Severus confirmed that Hermione knew what a theory cauldron was and even knew how to use it effectively.”
“Not something someone from this school would know, correct?” Mark asked and when Remus nodded he pointed to the journal and tassel. “Whoever made these is definitely a Durmstrang student. Not quite someone in their last year, but mostly likely they are an advanced 6th year student. The tassel looks poorly designed at first, but really it was tweaked.”
“Tweaked?” Remus asked curiously as he leaned closer to examine the items. “What were they tweaked for?”
Mark held up the tassel and pointed to the main knot, “This normally meant to hold ink and be solid, but it can squish down. Considering everything it seems this tassel was made to crawl under or through things.”
“Like … under doors to get access to things inside locked rooms?” Remus mused as his mind put the pieces together.
“So it seems. The journal is charmed so the words will appear in another book. It’s a common way to write notes for fellow students who are in the infirmary. It looks like it was damaged by another magical object … probably one of the charmed balls hit it.” The Auror explained and showed Remus an odd dent in the knots. “I bet that’s why it made the sound I heard. It was broken. However, if getting Information is the goal then I should check the other classrooms to see if there’s a similar setup.” Mark commented and stood up. “I doubt you can do the same thing in the forbidden section of the library.”
Remus tapped his chin in thought, “Yeah. It’d be too hard for this little thing to navigate the high shelves of books. Besides, many of the books make noise.”
The Auror nodded, “Thought so. I think it’s safe to say that she, assuming she’s even female in the first place, is older and from Durmstrang, but why is she here? What information does Hogwarts have that can’t be found somewhere else? I” He pondered out loud as he grabbed the invisibility cloak.
The werewolf hummed thoughtfully, “Information … or a person. This is conveniently the first year Harry Potter has come to school. If someone wanted to get close then now would be the time.”
Almost immediately Mark’s demeanor became more serious, “That’s something I didn’t consider. A possible fan taking things too far or something even worse?” The Auror pondered as he disappeared under the cloak. “Either way I’m going to check the classrooms and discuss this with Lord Malfoy.” He said and followed Remus to the door.
Remus nodded and saw a chance to go see Sirius, “You might be able get that all done before dinner.” He said and walked out of the door.
Once he was sure that the unseen Auror was off he casually headed for the dungeons. After going part of the way down the stairwell he paused. He waited a moment, but soon it became clear that no one’s scent was drifting down here. Since he was sure he wasn’t being followed he ran the rest of the way to Severus’ living quarters.
Remus ran inside and saw that Sirius, Severus, Lucius, Naruto and Harry were already there, “Sirius! Are you ok?” He asked as he went over to his friend.
Severus scoffed, “Naruto already healed the bite wound he apparently got after foolishly sticking his hand in the witch’s secure bag-“
“How was I supposed to know that she alarmed it?!” Sirius snapped in annoyance.
“You know enough to conclude that you should be more careful.” Severus said pointedly.
Harry sighed, “Instead you stupidly got caught by an Auror and bitten by a bag.”
Sirius pouted, feeling like he let Harry down, but then he glared when Severus had the nerve to chuckle, “Fuck you, Sniv-“
Before Sirius even finished the nasty nickname the collar activated. His clothes vanished and he was brought down to his knees again. A massive blush came to his face. He closed his eyes and waited for the Slytherins to make snide remarks. When no one said anything he opened his eyes. Much to his surprise Remus, Severus and Lucius were looking at Naruto.
Lucius glanced at the naked wizard and back at Naruto, “This is how you intend to control him?”
The henged bounty hunter shrugged, “It worked.” He vanished and appeared behind them. “Do you need collars too?” He whispered huskily in their ears.
Harry smirked when no one answered, “Sounds like a maybe.”
Remus blushed, “We should leave. Dinner is soon and Mark is looking around.” He said to quickly change the subject.
Naruto saw each of them look at Sirius before they hurried out, “Now this is a special key to the floo. Despite how today went I expect you will try again, but be careful.” He said as he slid a smooth glass egg into Sirius’ hands, which were covering his crotch. “You behave now.”
Harry saw the clothes appear and relief on the blushing Sirius face and followed Naruto through the seals, “If you keep teasing they might explode.” He commented when they appeared on the roof of the tower.
Naruto scoffed, “As if you don’t tease. Just keep an eye on Hermione in case she snaps.”
