"We need to start thinking about this," Albus said.
"He's right, we really haven't made any progress," Rose added.
"What are we supposed to do though?" August asked.
"Maybe we should start by figuring out who the heir of Ravenclaw is?" Holly suggested.
"What good would that do though?" Rose asked, "It would only give Maraci a bigger chance of finding it out."
"We could ask Rulepa?" August asked.
"Ha! You try that! She's claw your eyes out before you'd even have time to beg for mercy," Rose snickered.
August glared, "Thanks for that lovely image Rose."
"I kind of think we should," Holly said.
"So do I, like that we can warn them," Albus agreed.
"So everyone actually thinks we should ask the giant eagle then?" Rose asked.
The other three nodded. She sighed, "Well, I guess that I don't have much of a choice then."
"Alright, but I think we should go tonight," Albus said.
"Are you nuts? We need time to plan!" Rose scowled.
"But..." August said catching on, "Tonight is the monthly time when the four animals meet for a peaceful meeting in the forest, we should go so we'll have Argus to protect us, he's our pal now."
"I wouldn't go to say that much..." Holly said laughing.
"All right," Rose said in defeat, "Tonight it is..."
"It's official, I've found my heir," Rulepa said.
"Who is she?" squeaked Geigel.
Albus looked alarmed. Holly sucked in her breath and Rose shut her eyes. Oh, no! Rulepa was about to spill the beans on who her heir was, and Maraci was sitting right there!
"Wassup!" August said jumping away from the four children's hiding spots.
Maraci bared his fangs and got ready to sink them into August, but Argus stopped him.
"Augustus Karan, I thought you were told to never spy on our sacred meetings again," he said disapprovingly.
"You can't let Maraci know who the last heir is though, you really want to bring back Voldemort?" August said.
"That's impossible!" Geigel said, "Isn't it?"
"Of course it is! Now let me kill the little liar!" Maraci hissed menacingly.
"No murder will be committed tonight, however Augustus, you may now return to the safety of the castle, or I may not be able to protect you from the snake," Argus informed the group.
August sighed, and agreed, because he had no choice. He walked away, and when no one was looking, ran back to the hiding spot.
Holly, Albus, and Rose looked at him with wide-eyes.
"I can't believe you did that, you are such an idiot," Rose said.
"Her name," Rulepa announced, "is Brooke Light."
Holly, August and Albus were quietly waiting by the entrance of the Ravenclaw common room. They couldn't get in, because they had no idea how, but they knew where it was thanks to Lorcan, who had visited his brother here before and knew where it was. They were waiting for Brooke Light to come by so that they could intercept her and warn her about her fate. Whether or not she would believe them, they had no idea, but they did know they needed to at least try. Everytime a person walked by, they got their hopes up, but not once did it turn out to be Brooke.
"Why isn't Rose here yet?" August wondered aloud.
"She went to go tell Nathan Atom that since he's the heir of Hufflepuff, he should watch his back, don't you ever listen?" Albus sighed.
"I know, but why is it taking her so long?" August complained.
"These things take time, just be patient, we've got our own piece of work cut out for us," Holly told him.
"Oh, what's going on over here, some type of super-secret club?" Scorpius Malfoy asked, looking down at the three students.
"None of your business Malfoy," August remarked.
"I'm going to tell," Scorpius answered.
"See what we care," August shot back.
"Let's not pick any fights right now, Scorpius, could you please leave us alone, I'm sorry but this is private, maybe another time?" Holly said as sweetly as she could.
"Fine!" Scorpius said angrily, "I don't even care!"
He stormed off, Albus relaxed, "That was super close, we were almost caught there."
Rose walked up behind them, "Trust me guys, you are busted."
