breakfast

The gang followed Harrison down the secret passage and out into Hogshead. They took the back roads out of town to the portkey Ross had set up early. They circled it. Each grabbing a corner of the cardboard box. The earth felt like it was spinning beneath their feet before they crashed landed in Germany.

"This place is so creepy." Harry said shivering. They were somewhere deep inside the black forest, outside a church. They walked slowly towards the run down church. It was the easiest way to the lake. Ross pushed open the gate leading them amongst the weed ridden graveyard.

Nick ran around the place like an idiot.

"Stop being disrespectful." Anita snapped at him. He stuck out his tongue running over to the church it's self while the others moved towards the lake behind the church.

"Argh!" They jumped as Nick yelled.

"Nick!" Ross growled, scared shitless.

"Guys come see this! You'll never believe what the muggles have in their basement." Harry rolled his eyes at Anita before trudging over to look.

"Merlin's beard." Harrison exclaimed. The other two came running over gapping at the sight they could see through the small bar like window, hidden way by foot high grass.

"Are they bones?" Ross whispered. Anita nodded silently next to him.

"Maybe we should turn back." Nick frowned.

"No, come on, theses have been here for hundreds of years, we don't have time to worry what the muggles have been up to. Lets just get to the lake, get the egg and get back." They nodded silently following their fearless leader.

The lake was deathly still, unnaturally so. It made Anita feel nervous. She had the biggest part to play now, and she was hyperventilating at the thought.

"It'll be fine Skeet. Your just playing the bait, while we get the egg." Harry said trying to be comforting.

"think of it as fishing, I never catch anything." Nick smiled at her playfully.

Anita scowled. "The thing about fishing is, the bait always dies." Nick laughed and the others all gave him dirty looks.

"What? It was funny." Anita glared as Harrison punched him playfully in the arm. Ross rolled his eyes.

"Boys." Anita snorted before jumping in the water.

Ross had stayed above the water, on shore because he could swim but the rest of them dived in. he watch them put on their bubble head charms and go under. There was nothing he could do now, just watch and wait.

After putting on bubble head charms they began searching the lake for the nest. It didn't take long to locate the nest, nor the lockness monster.

They spilt up, the boys waited for Anita to draw the creature away from the eggs. they watch her get close enough to attract the creature to chase her. They waited a moment until their friend and the monster disappeared into the darkness of the lake. They swam down to the nest switching the egg for one of Sybil's orb. Nick snatched up the egg and they took off out of there, flat chat.

Anita cursed them all as she swam right up close attracting it's attention before making a hasty retreat. It was on her tail like a bullet. Anita had always been fast in the water but as the snapping jaws lunged after her ankles she began to doubt her lifespan. She was going to be one of those victims you saw on the muggle news, half eaten and torn apart by a shark, but this thing could do a hell of a lot more damage. She throw her wand behind her aiming a spell at the mammoth creature. It dodged it easily. She groaned kicking her legs harder trying again to hit the beast with another spell. This time it hit, but nothing happened. She began to panic, as it gained in on her. How in Merlin's name could she save herself now? She hoped darn Nick and Harry were enjoying their easy ride. Harry, she thought again, but this time she was thinking of the other Harry, you know, the famous one. Yes the memory of the twit flying around with a dragon on his tail, when all he had to do was blind the beast. She grinned firing the spell backwards. The creature roared sending a tidal wave her way. She was yanked around fast flying out of her control. It was worst then a portkey, and she was terrified that when she would stop, the monster would get her. She closed her eyes until she hit something hard.

"Get off me." Ross groaned, wet from where Anita had landed across his chest. She climbed off him, kicking him while he was down.

"You ungrateful git. I was almost eaten!" She yelled. He groaned standing up.

"A few bites wouldn't of hurt, you wouldn't weigh so much then." He grumbled. As he looked up, he noticed it was taking both Nick and Harrison to restrain her.

"whoops." He pelted off, as she broke loose.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione was furious as hell. They had gotten pass her, in and out. Ross had come into class the next day sporting a broken nose, which she had grilled him about. And all he had to say was don't piss off Anita. Hermione was livered they had gotten away with it and god knows what else. Her head girl duty was becoming impossible to keep up with now that the other Harry and his gang were gain new shady friends.

Not only that, Blaise had been eating a lockness monster egg for breakfast. Didn't he know that it was a protected creature? There was only three living left in the world… yes Hermione had the year from hell after that. Nothing she did could stop the troulbe makers, they were almost as bad as the Weasley twins.

Hermione may have been able to take down the all powerful Rita skeeter but not her sister. Anita had out classed and out smarted the golden girl. Hermione glared across the graduating class, ignoring her friends. Anita Skeeter smirked, suddenly the whole gang waved at Granger. The other Harry's team might of won this round but one day Hermione was going to get the lot of them back, especially Anita darn Skeeter.

All done!! Thanks for reading, there will be a short sequel to this called the glint if you wish to check it out, it will be up soon. :)
