After breakfast, and multiple smirks and looks from Abby, the team was ready to start searching the castle for Victrivia. The team was split into groups, each with one magical person. Tony, Ziva and Abby, McGee, Tonks and Jimmy, Jenny, Gibbs and McGonagall, and Ducky and Dumbledore, were put into teams. Tony, Ziva and Abby were to search the ground floor and the level below, Tonks, Jimmy and McGee to search the first and second floor, Jenny, Gibbs and McGonagall to search the third forth and fifth floor and Duck and Dumbledore to search the sixth and seventh floor. After the floors, they would search the towers, then the grounds. It was going to be a VERY long day, indeed. They all split up and started the search.
Abby bounded along side Tony and Ziva with a smirk on her face, "I know about you two!" She teased.
"There is nothing to know!" Ziva snapped.
Abby ignored her, "Does Gibbs know?"
"There is nothing to know!" She insisted.
"She's right, there is nothing to know." Tony agreed.
"I don't believe either of you two, lovebirds." Abby said casually.
"Argh!" Ziva sighed impatiently, "Nothing is going on between us!"
Abby just chuckled, which just annoyed Ziva more.
As an hour ticked by, they had searched the entire underground floor. They had come across grumpy Slytherins, who did not appreciate the intrusion, many hidden rooms (that Ziva of course knew about), Peeves, the elves even gave them some food from the kitchen. They came across everything, except Victrivia.
Meanwhile, the others were having no luck, either. No one had come across anything that could lead to Victrivia, not even a strand of hair. As the day drew to an end and the night fell, the team had finished searching the castle, but had no luck. It was convenient that dementors had been placed around the school to stop Sirius… The dementors had been told about Victrivia, and were to be on the look out for her, too.
Ziva, Abby and Tony were making their way back to their dorm, Abby was still bugging them. "I'm so happy for you both!" She squealed.
"ABBY!" Ziva snapped, "Drop it!
Abby chuckled.
"Well, Abby, I'm sure everyone would be pleased to know who you are dating." Ziva said coldly.
"You wouldn't! You promised!" She gasped.
"Well, then, shut up." She said sternly.
"Ohh!" Tony jumped, "Who are you dating, Abby?"
Abby shot a death glare at Ziva, "None of your business! Not even Ziva is supposed to know… she just walked into my lab at the wrong at time, and saw something she wasn't suppose to see. Then she promised not to tell!"
"I did not tell." Ziva smirked.
"Abby, you have to tell me!" Tony demanded.
"Or what?" She said.
"Or, I will tell Gibbs you are dating a co-worker."
"Hey how did you -! I mean, I'm not dating a co-worker."
"You obviously are, because Ziva found out when she walked into your lab."
"Maybe he was visiting."
"So your secret boyfriend comes to your work to hook up?"
"Well – If you tell Gibbs about me, I will tell Gibbs about you two." She smirked.
"Wait!" Ziva said, stopping. "We did not check this storeroom." She pointed to a brown door on the other side of the corridor."
They walked over to the door. Tony drew his gun, Abby drew her tazer and Ziva drew her wand. Flicking her wand, the door flew open. "Lumos." Ziva murmured, and the storeroom filled with light. The three let out a gasp when they saw what was there; another of Victrivia's victims. This time it was a Ravenclaw boy. His throat was slit, and there was a note, '3 mudbloods down, 165 to go.' Ziva felt Tony's arm slip around her waist, a tug her closer to him, as if to protect her from Victrivia.
