"I should hope not. For your sake at least, Tom Riddle."
Sirius thought about going to the boy and telling him about Dumbledore's plan but… what if the boy tried to escape or worse, succeeded? Sirius stood at the bottom of the stairs leading to the boy's room just as he went to take a step up he saw 6 figures silently creep down the stairs and stop at the boy's door. The kids!
What were they doing? They can't possibly being thinking of going in there, how did they even know about the boy? Sirius, at this point, still hadn't heard about the incident when the under-aged wizards and witches had snuck into Voldemort's right hand's room. He was just about to barge up when he saw them pull something out, considering that the Weasley twins were with them, this had to be good.
He almost gagged when he saw that they had pulled out an eye. He watched confused as they stuck it under the door then all of them put on glasses that were attached to they eye by a cord. Deciding he had to know what they were doing he quietly crept up behind them and tapped Ginny on the shoulder, being the one least likely to shout out.
Ginny whipped around guilty faced, Sirius put his hand out. Ginny hand it over reluctantly. He surprised her by, instead of confiscating them, he put it on. Immediately Ginny's shocked face disappeared into a haze which turned into an image of a room identical to the boy's. Suddenly it hit Sirius they were looking into the room!
Sirius tried to look around but found the image didn't change as he moved his eyes, he mentally slapped himself of course it didn't, it wasn't his eyes that were watching this. He shook his head slightly and focused on the only figure in the room he was seeing.
The boy was sitting on the floor side on to them with his sunken eyes staring straight ahead, not moving except for his lips. Sirius stared closely trying to make out what he was saying. Now, he wasn't an expert, but was the boy… counting? There was nothing in front the boy that he could possibly be counting. But as he looked closer there was no doubt, the boy was slowly and steadily counting his way up.
Then suddenly his lips paused their soundless speech and he turned his head to the door slowly. Sirius held his breath as the boy looked directly at the eye making it seem like he was looking straight at Sirius. He got up and made his way to the door as the boy neared he reached down making his hand seemingly get bigger and bigger as it got closer to the eye. His head began to spin as the image went a higher quickly as the boy picked it up.
The boy held it in front of his face and glared intensely into it. Then Sirius's vision was a blurr as the boy dropped it again.
Then the image went red as the boy presumably squashed the eye then the image went black, Sirius pulled off the now useless glasses. He saw the others do so to except for Ginny who stayed confused as she had not seen anything. They heard a loud thump as the boy presumably slammed his hand, maybe fist? on the door loudly. Then said loud enough to be heard through the door.
"Leave." Sirius shivered at the cold voice.
The kids turned around, then stopped at the sight of Sirius. But determined that the boy was scarier than any adult and scrambled up the stairs deciding to talk later. Ginny followed at a slower pace still wondering what could have happened.
Sirius found himself unable to move still breathing harshly.
"I can see you. You're standing in front of the keyhole." The cold voice continued. Sirius looked at the keyhole. So he was. Yet he still stood there wondering what to do, then deciding it'd be best to clear things up he closed his hand around the door knob and consequently the key hole and twisted it pushing it open.
The boy stood in front of him finishing his half step backwards to allow the door to swing open.
"You're watching me." It wasn't a question just a statement.
Amateurs, Ciel thought as he heard them thundered up the stairs away from him. That's when he noticed an arm through the keyhole,
"I can see you. You're standing in front of the key hole." Ciel waited then took a step backwards as the doo knob began to turn. He inwardly took a double take at the face of Sirius Black. Although nothing showed on the outside of course.
He felt like he needed to state something to put it out there.
"You're watching me." He watched Black carefully for any emotions.
Black shook his head quickly,
"No, no, nothing like that it- it was just the kids they were curious about you, I guess…" Black trailed off. Ciel tilted his head to the side,
"What's your excuse?" he asked as cold as ever. Black couldn't quite put his finger on it but there was something in that voice the screamed… something.
"I guess I was curious too I guess."
"You should probably make sure those kids don't come back I may not be as kind as this time or the previous one." He inwardly grimaced at the thought of their first meeting, he'd wanted to rip each one of their heads off.
"You met them before this?" Black asked surprised and slightly worried.
"Yes." Ciel said curtly turning away, trying to subtly tell Black to piss off
"When?" Ciel sighed, he can't take a hint. Maybe a slightly more straight forward answer would do.
"Ask them yourself, Black."
Black finally seemed to take the hint and finally backed off, Ciel was about to let out a sigh of relief when Black paused again,
"He wants to send you to Hogwarts." Ciel froze hardly hearing the door close a while later.
The plan would have to put into action sooner than he'd planned, it was obvious who Black had meant by 'He'. Stupid old coot, can't resist meddling. He sat down on the uncomfortable floor this time in a position he could see the door without being too obvious. He should've thought twice before scaring the stupid kids like that. He stared at the bit of obviously fake blood that had splattered onto the bedsheets, and pondered the last question. How was he going to get them to open the door?
*3 hours later*
The answer came quicker than expected when he noticed something resembling an ear being pushed under the door a few minutes after the sun set. Ciel had to stop himself from smiling. Idiots.
His original plan quickly formed around this situation. He could see just out of the corner of his eye, an eye at the keyhole, this one looked like it actually had an owner. He reached inside his core and felt behind the door. It was definitely them and no adults around. Perfect.
He sighed loudly, slightly exaggerated. Then pretended to muttered, slightly louder than necessary, but he doubted the amateurs would notice he pretended to be in the middle of a sentence,
"-bored. Why can't they just introduce me already. I can't believe I'm a prisoner in my own home. Maybe if I hadn't scared those others away they'd come and see me…" He added another sigh for good measure.
That should do it, furious whispering could be heard through the door, he smirked. And just as expected, soon the door knob twisted open.
Idiots.
