Chapter 4: The Diary Deception
Several hours later the Hogwarts Express finally arrives at Hogsmeade Station. A loud whistle blows three times to let the passengers know it is time to get off the train. Sheldor of Azeroth and his friends grab their belongings then they all exit the train together. A misty gray fog covers the damp ground as everyone heads for the boats that will take them across Black lake to Hogwarts Castle.
A wizard named Dennis Creevey and his girlfriend approach Sheldor as they walk down to the boat dock. Dennis Creevey has on a pair of thick rimmed black glasses and his Gryffindor uniform with a floor length cloak over it. His red and gold cloak appears to have no symbol on it, but it does have one with a hidden image.
"Sheldor? Sheldor of Azeroth! Oh my god, is it really you?" Dennis Creevey exclaims loudly very excited to see the infamous blood elf. Sheldor turns towards the nerdy wizard.
"Yes."
Dennis grins with delight and puts out his hand to shake Sheldor's hand.
"It's so good to finally meet you. We've heard so much about you! Why you're practically a legend in World of Warcraft. My name is Dennis, Dennis Creevey!"
"Hello, Dennis nice to meet you. But, uh…. ix-nay on the handshake! I don't know where your germy hands have been."
Creevey puts his hand down looking slightly embarrassed and saddened that Sheldor won't dare shake his hand, but he is still too excited to meet Sheldor to take offense by it. He looks over at his girlfriend and puts his arm around her.
"We are good friends with Glissinda the troll. She has told us many stories about your mighty quests, like how one time you and your dogs of war tried to take down a whole horde of orcs!"
"We didn't try; we succeeded. I've only been on a few quests with Glissinda, but my friend knows the troll quite intimately."
Sheldor glances slyly over at Ron Howard and Bernadette Hermione. They both glare back at him for mentioning the slutty troll that almost broke up their relationship. Dennis Creevey's girlfriend sweetly smirks at Sheldor and licks her lips with her long tongue. She is wearing a Gryffindor school uniform under a short golden colored cloak with the sword of Gryffindor symbol on the backside.
"Is it true you even captured the sword of Azeroth?"
"Yes, that is correct."
He smirks with great pride over his previous accomplishment.
"Oh can't we see it? Please, can we see it."
Sheldor unlocks his trunk again and pulls out his sword so they can get a good look at it. Their eyes light up with desire and Creevey's girl licks her lips again in anticipation. She opens up her bag and takes out a plain black notebook along with a non-magical writing quill.
"Wow! I just love it when a man knows how to master a sword. Could I get your autograph?"
"Certainly, who should I make it out to?"
"Make it out to Lilith. Lilith Anguis."
Sheldor quietly smiles at her as he takes her notebook and writes To Lilith Anguis from Sheldor of Azeroth, the might hero of the Eastern Kingdoms and level eighty five sword master. Once he finishes signing the notebook Sheldor hands it back to Lilith. She grins at his signature with cunning happiness.
"Oh thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me."
Dennis Creevey smiles extra delighted that they got what they came for. He pulls out an old camera that once belonged to his elder brother Colin Creevey.
"Thanks, now if it's not too much trouble can we get some pictures?"
"Alright, but make sure they are good enough to go on a mouse pad, a mug and a calendar."
Creevey nods at him then he holds up his camera and takes two quick pictures of Sheldor of Azeroth who poses like a pompous dork with his giant sword. Dennis Draco and two of his slutty Slytherin girlfriends walk by them headed for the boats. Dennis Draco rolls his eyes as he looks at the back of Sheldor's head.
"Stupid Mudblood," he whispers cruelly under his breath. Then Dennis Draco quickly winks at Lilith. She responds simply by licking her lips and nodding her head a little, but Lilith makes sure to keep her eyes focused on Sheldor. She watches in false admiration as the blood elf continues to pose happily for pictures.
"You look so nummy nummy Sheldor; why I could just eat you up."
"I know. I hear that all the time. " He replies with a narcissistic childlike grin on his face.
"Okay now let's get one all together! " Creevey looks over at Bernadette Hermione and holds out his camera to her.
"Will you take a picture of us please?"
"Sure."
Sheldor of Azeroth poses with Lilith and Dennis Creevey. He puts on a cheesy smile for the camera. Lilith manages to wrap her left hand around Sheldor's sword and she gently strokes it while Bernadette Hermione takes the picture for them. Cedric, Neville and Ron Howard find their fan admiration of Sheldor totally unjustified and slightly disturbing. They sigh impatiently as they wait for them to finish up. Ron Howard finally yells when he notices the boats have arrived and other witches and wizards are already getting inside them.
"Come on, Sheldor let's go! The boats are here."
"Right. Okay well I have to go now. But, maybe we'll see each other again later."
"Count on it!" Lilith replies sweetly as she finally takes her hand off Sheldor's sword and bats her eyelashes at him.
He guilelessly smiles back not sure what the seductive expression on her face really means. Even in his dreams Sheldor is not very good at reading facial expressions or physical cues, but Bernadette Hermione finds Lilith's flirting attempt to be pretty pathetic. She is too polite to say anything to Lilith about it, but Bernadette Hermione feels that something isn't quite right with these two. She notices Dennis Creevey doesn't seem to care that his girlfriend is flirting with a blood elf. Ron Howards yells at them to hurry up again, so she gives back Creevey's camera and follows her husband down to the boat docks.
Sheldor of Azeroth is the last one to arrive at the dock and it takes his friends a lot of convincing to get him to get inside the boat. He gets nauseated over the idea of sailing and is deeply afraid of the water. Ron Howard threatens to put a spell on him if he doesn't stop being a whiny baby and get in the damn boat already so Sheldor finally gives in.
Lilith and Dennis Creevey get in a different boat and they all sail off across the lake. As the fog rolls over the water the creepy couple magically disappear from their boat without anyone seeing them slip away. They reappear moments later inside a tunnel under the school that leads to the Chamber of Secrets right before their Polyjuice potion wears off. The symbol on Creevey's cloak finally appears and shows the image of a Klingon Bat'leth cutting off the head of a Gryffindor lion.
Lilith's uniform and cloak fall to the dirty ground around her as she reforms back into a cobra snake. Dennis Creevy turns back into the crooked Sir Todd Zarnecki. He grins mischievously and gently rubs the back of Lilith's scaly head as he speaks to her in parseltongue.
"Good work, the Dark Lord will be pleased."
"Thanks. But, are you sure the diary still works?"
"Yes, I bewitched the book myself. Tonight when the fool falls asleep, I will have my revenge!"
He magically pulls out the pictures he took of Sheldor and puts them inside of the black book that Sheldor signed. Lilith hisses with her tongue as she watches him do this and her eyes light up with helfire. Then she slithers her way down the tunnel with Sir Zarnecki towards the Chamber of Secrets to meet up with fellow Death Eaters.
Author's Note: Sorry, this story is taking me so long to write. I'm back to work now so I don't have as much time to write. But, I hope you all enjoy this chapter anyway and thanks for reading. :)
