The young wizard with the overwhelming pointy hat scanned the corridors, observing every movement of each first year. Cabinets were left cracked opened with shirt sleeves hanging from their wardrobes, socks stringing out from drawer to drawer, wands that were already snapped in half when they had just received them earlier in the year were left rolling on the uneven floor boards. Wizards from all angles were zipping past him as if he was nothing but a burden to the halls. He cocked his head the the left when a particular voice merged through the crowds. Another voice from a nine O'clock view point, also familiar to his ears made his head whip the other way.

Instead of moving toward the voices he waited for them to come to him. They were on intersecting paths, one had locked eyes onto a book and the other buttoning up a fresh robe. As soon at the young wizards passed by right within his reach he stretched out his arms and gripped the back of their hoods, pulling them back with great force.

"What are you two doing?" He questioned with a blank expression.

"Don't hurt me! He did it!" The taller skinnier one held his book to his face as a defensive motive.

The shorter, more obtuse one, rather then flinching or reacting to the question simply continued to button up his robe. The tall gangling wizard lowered the book to his nose and took a moment to realize his friend holding his robe.

"Oh, thank goodness it's just you Engine!" He seemed to lower his head in embarrassment.

Engine's medium sized figure seemed to grow taller and dark as he pulled his wimpy friend closer.

"I told you never to call me that!" He hissed. "it's Cedric!"

His friend cowered down lower using his book as a shield. He the let his robe go and shifted his attention to the other. "Viny! Quit fidgeting with your robe it looks fine!" He lectured.

"But it has wrinkles on it." He complained still fumbling with the last top button.

"Come on." He groaned, motioning them to follow. "We have a quest to complete."

The two looked at each other and trotted closely behind. They walked away from the flooded crowed of first years and headed in the opposite direction from where they were. The two scuttled quietly behind their bossy friend, to nervous to ask where he was taking them. It wasn't too much longer before Cedric stopped in from of a pair of cherry wood doors with nobs that curved at the ends.

"Why did you take us here?" Viny asked with a disgusted taste in his mouth. "I hate reading!"

His tall skinny friend on the other hand held a wide smile on his cheeks. His eyes nearly bulged out of his head with what seemed to be saliva dripping from his bottom lip. Above the doors, black ink letters were stained into the archway. The heavy etched letters read LIBRARY.

Cedric pushed the door open and shifted himself in the direction of the restricted section. He did a quick three sixty of his surroundings and put a finger to his mouth, motioning to his friends to be quiet and to stay close. The two nodded and skimmed through the aisles of thick dusty books. The leader of the group held a hand out while passing through the lanes, his finger tips brushing each book that he passed until one in particular caught his eye.

He came to an immediate stop as his fingers rest on the books spine. He looked over his shoulder and shifted his position to see a small deep crimson red book, very plane, nothing special.
Down the spine there was no lettering, no marks, no pictures of any sort. He slipped the book out from the shelf and turned to see there was nothing on the front or back.

"That's odd," His friends voice emerged from behind him. "I've never seen a book like that before. Its so perfect!"

He turned to see his chubby friend leaning closer towards the book, almost as if he were in a trance of some sort. His eyes were clouded over like a misty grey with his jaw hanging loose from his skull. Another tall lanky figure came up behind him and peeped over the others head. He too showed the same reaction,
however he was practically drooling on the chubby ones head, both speechless after seeing the cover of the little red book. Cedric moved the book left and right as he observed his friends eyes and head moving in the same direction the book was. He gave a quick side smile and chuckled to himself lightly. He couldn't blame his friends. The book was like eye candy. Just the books plain cover was so captivating, so shiny and a beautiful red, you could practically see your reflection.

He turned his back to his entranced friends and opened the book. Strange lettering appeared slowly as he skimmed through taking in all of what was being shown to him. It was almost like the book itself was reading to him, translating all of what was being written down in his head. He couldn't read it, but he could hear it. He continued leafing through the pages as the voices in his head seemed to grow into a chant, repeating the same strange words over and over. "Alzati e vieni via, prendono era dovrebbe essere il vostro. Il soggiorno non deve essere risparmiato, e non morti deve essere riparato. ll soggiorno non deve essere rispar-..."

Cedric slammed the book shut and tucked it up under his robe, tilting his hat down to cover his eyes. He straightened his back and shifted towards the door.

"Come, we must hurry. We have what we were looking for now lets get a move on." Cedric said, motioning his friends to move out.

Without hesitation all three swiftly paced out of the library and through the large hallways. There were still a few wizards out in the common room gathering way too much unnecessary equipment. The wizards ignored the others as they slipped past the loud commotion and out into the cold, dark winter night. The buildings around them were sleeping, with the smell of chilly smoke rising silently from the chimneys.

They passed down several streets and came across a few wizards who said it was too cold and late for a quest and that they were going back to head quarters. The three continued on further and with every dragging footstep seeming to be colder then the last, Cedric picked up the pace and took a left down a long dark ally.
Shadows fell along the tall stone walls, their footsteps crunching through the compact snow echoed through silence. Viny scratched his flabby stomach while his tall friend asked "Do you know where we are going?" Cedric stopped and shook his head out, brushing off the growing piles of snow that built up on his hat.

"Don't worry Phin, I know exactly where we are." He grinned while pressing forward, rounding the next corner.

This time the lighting down the street was pitch black. All three wizards came to a halt as they stared into darkness. Viny and Phin locked onto one another's arms shivering from both the cold and of fear.

"W-were not actually going to go through there are we?" Phin asked as his close companion shook his head violently.

They waited as their silent friend let out a sigh, his cold breath rolling out in a puff of smoke. His tall hat shifted forward covering even more of his face making it blend in with the night. "Lets go." He mumbled and pressed on, taking small steps through the darkening shadows. Before the the two shivering wizards could react the only thing left of their friend was the sound of his light footsteps crunching through the soft snow.

"Cedric?" Viny called out.

Just then a black cat jumped out from behind them letting out snarling hiss followed my a low growling meow. The cat sent the two wizards bolting into the hidden ally without a second thought. It was so dark through the ally, so quiet the only thing they could hear was their heavy breathing, their footsteps, and the fast paced beating of their heart.

They felt around and moved slowly through the ankle deep snow. "Cedric?" Phin whispered, but all that came next was an "ooaf!"

There was a gasp coming from Phin's left. He felt around till he found a smooth round surface and grabbed onto what he thought was an arm perhaps. He clutched the fabric and pulled up firmly.

"Hey! watch where your grabbing!" Viny smacked Phin's hands off, readjusting his robe.

"That's private property!" Phin backed away and folded his arms.

"How am i supposed to watch where I'm grabbing when you can't even watch where your going?" He argued back.

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Viny challenged. "I know where I was going."

Phin snorted to himself and began to walk off. "That's not what the wall says."

Viny puffed out his chest and huffed out. "Oh what are you some sort of wall whisperer?"

Cedric looked forward, ignoring the two friends bickering a ways behind him. He tilted his head to see a soft glowing light, hovering through the streets.
His hand moved across his robe as he reached for the little red book. He kept his gaze on the white figure as it glided through the silent snow back and forth as if looking for something. It radiated a peaceful feeling, almost like a mental lullaby for the soul. His gaze fell to the book giving of a heat that he could barely withstand.
It began to glow the bright crimson red it was, and the chant resumed in his head. He snatched his hand away as the book fell sinking through the snow and began flipping through its own pages till the desired one remained present to Cedric's eyes. He clutched his head between his hands.

Alzati e vieni via, prendono era dovrebbe essere il vostro. Il soggiorno non deve essere risparmiato, e non morti deve essere riparato. Alzati e vieni via, prendono era dovrebbe essere il vostro. Il soggiorno non deve essere risparmiato, e non morti deve essere riparato. Alzati e vieni via, prendono era dovrebbe essere il vostro. Il soggiorno non deve essere risparmiato, e non morti deve essere riparato.

The two wizards heard their friend Cedric burst into shrill cries of agony. They crept closer and watched the little red book out in front of Cedric etched strange lettering onto his arms. It was a spell. He struggled to stand, putting one foot clumsily after the other. His friends looked over him in horror as he lifted his head towards the night sky, arms open wide and chanted the spell over three times.

Io vi sciolgo dalle vostre camere di inferno, sfidare il nostro destino! Io vi sciolgo dalle vostre camere di inferno, sfidare il nostro destino! Io vi sciolgo dalle vostre camere di inferno, sfidare il nostro destino!

The little red book strained out its energy pouring out black liquid on the snow covered ground, circling him. The liquid began to rise, forming into different shapes and sizes. Cedric looked out past his friends to see the glowing white figure edging closer. He lifted his hat up a bit revealing his dark clouded grey eyes and a wide sharp grin spreading from ear to ear showing his new and improved sharp fangs.

The blurry white figure stopped in place watching as three black figures began to rise like burning ashes in the air. Their black skin released steam from the melting snow, ancient red lettering ran along their spine and curved throughout their body. Their tall frame gave off an intimidating appearance as the bottom half of their body faded out, long ears stretched above their head, and long sharp claws gleamed in the night. All three simultaneously shot their heads up at the glowing white figure that stood before them. Their red narrowed eyed shooting fiery darts at their new target.

Cedric's smile stood plastered onto his face.

Viny and Phin hugged each other tightly as they watched the tension rise between Cedric and the white being. The demons rears back as they closed their eyes and whimpered. Cedric then opened his mouth to speak, with wide eyes, and with his head slightly tilted to the side, he gave his first command.

"Ucciderla!"
