Hello everyone I am very excited about this chapter since this is when the plan starts. So let me know what you think of what is happening, tell me what you're favorite part was.

I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters.

Chapter 8 Pranks, Puzzles, and POOFING!

The Trappers and Weasleys were sitting in the chamber going over the final stages of the plan leading up to the climax that would occur on Halloween.

"Charlie did you add the potion to the specific order people's drinks?" Percy asked looking at the checklist that was made.

"Yes, and I added it to Moody's flask, that was very hard." Charlie replied.

"Good did you add it to the specific teachers drinks?" Percy asked looking over to the Trappers.

"We did, don't worry the potion was created to the specifics that you asked for." Lee said.

"Alright Bill, Ginny, Rose are the spells set on the doorways?"

"Yep and the timer spells were set, we even made sure that there was no way for anyone to remove them." Rose answered.

"Great and I have the second part ready, I think that we are prepared to start, I would like pictures sent to me." Percy said smiling, "and don't worry Fudge has been taken care of."

"We have something special planned for the toad." The twins said grinning, "So you just leave her to us."

The next morning

Dumbledore was about to walk into the Great Hall when he felt something wrong. He looked over the entrance and saw nothing so he brushed it off and walked through the doorway and right into the Slytherin common room.

"Umm Headmaster what are you doing here?" Draco asked he confused headmaster.

"That is a good question Mr. Malfoy, since I do believe that I was attempting to get some breakfast." He said looking around the common room and walking back out the door.

Meanwhile Snape stepped out of his office and ended up in Hagrid's hut.

"Hello Professor what are you doing here?" Hagrid asked walking in with Fang.

"I have no idea." Snape said walking back out the door and towards Hogwarts.

McGonagall was walking into Dumbledore's office to ask him about the next meeting when she went to open the door she found herself in the Gryffindor common room. She heard footsteps and looked up to see Fred and George come down the stairs.

"Oh hello Professor, what are you doing here?" They asked surprised to see her.

"I don't know, I was just on my way to see Dumbledore." She said very confused, as she walked out the door.

As soon as she left they turned to each other and smirked.

Umbridge was coming out of her room not knowing that she was about to walk right into the lake. When she tried to enter Hogwarts it spit her out right into the lake again. On her fourth try she managed to get into Hogwarts.

This prank lasted for a week, and only the professors were affected. Sometimes they would end up where they were supposed to, and other times they ended up nowhere close to it. Professor Sprout tried to enter the greenhouse once and ended up in the Owlery, while Flitwick tried to enter the kitchen but instead ended up in the Divination classroom. Umbridge on the other hand kept ending up in the worst places, the forbidden forest, the lake, Aragog's lair (Hagrid had to rescue her, not that anyone would care if she was left there.) McGonagall and Snape have even ended up at Grimmauld place shocking a sleepy Sirius and a cleaning Molly when Snape came out of the Wardrobe.

Madame Hooch tried escaping this by flying but after trying to enter the Great Hall and ending up in a broom closet they figured out that it was hopeless. The students found it funny when a professor would go to their office to grab something and then the professor might return or they might not.

Finally the week was over and it was time for the second prank to begin. This prank affected everyone so when they all woke up eleven years old the island students took it in stride while the professors freaked out.

All the heads turned when the door slammed open and an eleven year old McGonagall comes stomping in being followed by a red haired Dumbledore and a younger, Snape, Sprout, and Flitwick.

Dumbledore stepped up to the table and turned around to face the students as they started to laugh. "We would like to know who was responsible for these pranks."

Nobody said anything, then the doors creaked open and a very old lady, came walking in. "I want to know who is responsible for this." Umbridge said as she sat down at the table to catch her breath.

"I am sure we will figure out how to reverse this." Dumbledore said his blue eyes twinkling.

Ron turned to Harry, "his eyes are twinkling even at eleven."

"You're right I thought that had started when he was older." Harry said nodding.

"Snape also looks different, less greasy." Ron said looking at the smaller younger potion master.

"Yeah I wonder what happened." Harry said looking over at Snape.

Needless to say classes were canceled until they were back to normal since no one would take eleven year old teachers seriously.

The fourth day into the prank Dumbledore was about to walk into his office when he appeared in the kitchen of Grimmauld place where Sirius and Remus were having tea.

"Umm who are you?" Sirius asked putting his cup down.

Dumbledore just sighed, "I am Albus Dumbledore."

"Huh, and what is all this about." Sirius asked gesturing to him.

"My boy, I have no idea." He said and then he walked out of the kitchen to floo back to Hogwarts.

Sirius looked at Remus, who just went back to drinking his tea and said, "I don't want to know."

On Sunday when the prank ended and all the professors returned to normal they went to bed hoping that the worst was over, silly professors they were just getting started.

The next morning when they went down to breakfast they realized what was next, they had to sing everything.

Dumbledore realized it first, "Good morning, good morning, good morning sunshine." He sang to professor McGonagall.

That was the beginning of the week for the singing teachers, and students (everyone except for Umbridge she was croaking.) The teachers tried so hard to not song but at the most unexpected times they would start to.

These spontaneous musicals made the classes more interesting, and also more complicated. There were classes that had to be canceled because of the fact that they couldn't understand the teachers.

The funniest moment that they gave a memory of it to Regulus and Apollo. It was during lunch and all the teachers suddenly stood up and gave a rendition of the wizard of Oz. It was Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Sprout, Pomfrey, Flitwick, and Trelawney.

As soon as it was finished and they had bowed the whole hall erupted in applause. The professors had no idea that they had done this so they were very confused about why the students were applauding them.

Later when they showed the memory to Regulus and Apollo, they wouldn't stop laughing.

"I love how Sev portrayed the tin man." Reggie said laughing at his old friend.

After the singing prank was the gender swap prank, this was for the benefit of the Trapper since the night before it started was the full moon which was when they went on the hunt. That was also the night that Peter Pettigrew was captured.

He was brought to the ministry dressed as a flamingo dancer (no I really mean he was dressed as a flamingo.) He was also more than willing to tell the aurors what he had done, and Sirius was cleared the next day.

"Sirius did you see this?" Remus asked as Sirius walked into the kitchen.

"No what country am I in now?" He asked making a cup of coffee.

"He was caught?" Remus said reading the article.

"Who?" He asked sitting down.

"Peter, Sirius you're free." He said showing him the article.

"What?" He then took the article and read it, there was a moment where he didn't move at all instead he just sat there staring at it. "Is this real Moony?"

"It is Padfoot, you're free." Remus said smiling, at the grin spreading across Sirius' face.

That morning at Hogwarts, Harriet walked into the Hall and sat down next to Rose. She then stopped and looked down at herself and at Rose, "so this is there next prank, gender swap."

"It would appear so." Rose said as she took a bit of toast.

"Okay." When all the students had finally started trickling in the mail came and with it a howler for Harriet.

When it opened it was Sirius, "I'm free Pup I am finally free!"

As soon as it was finished the hall erupted in cheers and applause from the Island students, the Trappers stood up and took a bow. Then the teachers walked in.

"What is all the racket about?" Marvin (Minerva) asked going to sit down not acknowledging the prank. Then he picked up the paper and his eyebrows disappeared into his hairline.

When Alberta (Albus) sat down next to him and read the newspaper hers to disappeared, "well this certainly is cause for celebration she said."

When Severna walked in though everyone stopped and stared, her long hair was wavy and glossy black, her nose was smaller and her eyes sparkled like polished stone. "What?" She asked her voice smooth at everyone staring.

Darcy (Draco) just shook her head and turned to Rose giving her a what can you do look. It was an interesting week, and it was a good release for Rose and the Trappers who did not have any time to be their alter egos or themselves. It was also a learning experience for the students and the teachers to become the opposite sex.

It was at the end of this week that letters were dropped down upon the student body it read.

This Halloween

Join us for a masquerade ball

In the Great Hall

This is only for second years and up.

Kindly tell us if you are bringing an outside plus one.

That night Rose was swarmed with students asking for her to make them dresses. The Architects were gathered, students were measured, and designs were created. Rose was the one in charge while Seamus and Blaise were in charge of masks. They enlisted Ginny, Pansy, and the Patil twins to help with charming the masks.

That night they brought the newspaper down to Regulus for him to read. When he was done he walked over to the Trappers and gave them a hug, Harry also joined in.

"Thank you so much for freeing my brother." Reggie said with tears.

"It was the right thing to do." Carol said.

"Just because it was the right thing doesn't mean, it was easy." Harry said brushing his tears away.

"No, but let me tell you it was fun." Denise said winking at Harry. This caused a round of laughter to go out among the Islanders.

This time Severna was sent to Grimmauld place, where Sirius was laying low still in case it was a trick.

Remus comes walking into the living room where she had walked into. "Umm who are you."

"Severus Snape." She said sitting down in a chair.

"Uhuh, is this like when Albus came and he was eleven.

"Unfortunately." She said brushing the hair away from her face.

"Who is doing this?" Remus asked sitting down.

"We have no idea, but I am sure they are having a laugh, since we can't undo the spells. The good thing is that they seem to be only lasting a week."

"That's good." Remus said drinking his tea.

"Where is the mutt."

"Hmm, oh Sirius. He collapsed from relief a few days ago and has been asleep ever since. We agreed that we would wait until Halloween before he leaves just in case."

Severna stood up, "Well if you will excuse me I am heading back."

"Alright have a good trip." Remus said as she flooed away.

When that prank ended the Professors were relieved to be back to how they were born and when nothing happened at breakfast they thought it was over. But when they went to class they noticed that none of the students were paying attention to them.

It was fifth year Transfiguration with the Gryffindors and the Slytherins that McGonagall noticed something weird.

"Excuse me class." She said from the desk.

"Hey Ron have you seen McGonagall yet this morning." Harry asked.

"No mate but I haven't seen any of the teachers this morning." Ron said looking up from his sketchbook where he was designing Daphne's dress.

"Me neither Hermione have you seen any?" Harry asked turning back towards Hermione, who was reading a defense book Victor had found and sent her.

"Hmm no I didn't even see any at breakfast." She said not looking up.

"I am right here, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss. Granger." But when she tried to touch Harry's shoulder she passed right through him.

Harry shivered, "Did you to feel that?"

They shook their heads, so Harry just shrugged.

Professor McGonagall was getting pale, so she swept out of the room and towards Dumbledore's office. On the way she had to stop when a student would walk right through her like she wasn't there. When she got to the office she saw that Snape was already there along with the other two heads of houses and a few other teachers.

"Albus I believe we have a problem my students did not see me, and I was walked through three times on the way here." She said sitting down and holding her head.

"The same happened in my class, it was like I was a ghost." Sprout said from where she was standing.

"Well then I do believe that is our answer." Dumbledore said his blue eyes twinkling.

Umbridge tried to say something but it seemed that she was now stuck on silent.

"Maybe this won't be so bad." Snape whispered to McGonagall.

That week there was no classes and many of the students stayed in the chamber, (mostly Rose and her crew they were very busy.)

On Monday morning when Harry walked into the Great Hall there were some very confused Professors.

"Good Morning professor." He said.

"Good morning my boy," Hagrid said.

"Hold on one second." He said and then walked back out into the hall, when he came back in he had Hermione with him. "Do something about this please."

"I got it don't worry." Then she pulled out some name tags, "alright I want everybody to say their names."

"Albus Dumbledore." Hagrid said she wrote his name on the tag. Something she didn't know is that they were spelled so that the Islanders saw something else. His tag now read Hello my Name is: Color Blind.

"Madame Pomfrey." Sprout said her tag said Hello my Name is: Madame Fix-a-lot.

"Professor Trelawney." Said Hooch, Hello my Name is: Mirror Mirror show me how to teach.

"Professor Hooch." Trelawney said, Hello my Name is: Hawkeye"Professor Umbridge." Said Dumbledore Hermione cringed, Hello my Name is: Notice me Senpai Fudge.

"Professor McGonagall." Said Snape Harry tried not to laugh, Hello my Name is: Professor McKitty.

"Professor Snape." Said McGonagall Harry did laugh now, Hello my Name is: I am a vampire fear me, *blah blah blah*.

"Hagrid." Said Flitwick, Hello my Name is: How is the weather up there?

"Professor Flitwick." Said Pomfrey, Hello my Name is: How is the weather down there?

"Professor Sprout." Said Umbridge, Hello my Name is: jolly green normal sized person.

"There now we can tell who is who." She said give Sprout her name tag, and trying not to laugh.

Harry on the other hand was failing and had taken to leaning on Ron who had come in. Other students were trying not to laugh knowing that the teachers couldn't read the tags.

It was a confusing week for everyone, and traumatizing for some. Not to soon the week ended and it was only a few days till Halloween. Everyone was down in the chamber and Rose was finishing up some stitching on Fiona's dress when Draco walked in.

"Hey Rose can I ask you a question?"

She put down the needle she was using and turned towards him. "Sure what's up Dray?"

"Will you go to the Ball with me?" He asked looking her in the eye.

"I already thought we were going together since we are engaged and everything." She said smiling at him.

"I just wanted to ask, do you know who everyone else is going with." He asked sitting down next to her.

"Hermione is going with Victor, Fiona is going with Apollo, she chose to go as a female, Ginny is going with Dean, Harry is going with Charlie, Blaise is going with Hannah, Luna is going with Neville, Michael is going with Daphne, George is going with Angelina, Katie is going with Lee, there is a whole bunch more people." She said shrugging.

"Wow you sure know a lot." Draco said shocked.

Rose shrugged again, "I have to make dresses and vests, oh before I forget here is your vest and mask. Don't look till you have to, okay?" She said handing him a box.

"So I guess it is a traditional tux?" Draco asked curious.

"Yep, now leave me so I can finish." Rose said picking up the needle to finish the embroidery.

Draco chuckled and kissed her forehead, "alright honey I will bring you some food later."

"Mmkay." She said already into her work.

He just chuckled again and left her workshop. A few days later everyone was nervously getting ready for the ball. It was nine that night and the boys were waiting for their dates. Ginny came out first, she was wearing a peach colored strapless dress, it was a solid until the skirt that had a shear golden outer layer, her mask was a golden mountain lion to match her animagus form. Her hair was pinned up in the back in a braid.

"You look beautiful." Dean said giving her a quick kiss.

"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself." She said kissing him back.

They waited for everyone else, Hermione was the next one down. Her dress was a deep purple off the shoulder long sleeve. The skirt was a combination of darks and light purple with swirls that showed up when she moved. Her hair was down and curled, and her mask was a metallic purple panther to match Victor's tiger mask.

"Stunning as ever." He said smiling as she twirled.

"Why thank you." She said smiling back.

Fiona came next in her white and gold one strap dress. There were gold and white suns embroidering the hem that seemed to sparkle and glow in the light, befitting the wife of the sun she was glowing her hair was braided over one shoulder leaving few pieces out and curled. Her gold and white fox mask was in her hand as she walked over to Apollo and curtsied.

"My God." She said smiling.

"My love." He said bowing back.

Fiona smiled at him and turned to the others, "come on Rose only wants Draco here when she comes down."

"Alright but why?" Charlie asked confused.

Harry just patted his arm, "come on honey, she can tell us later."

"Yes dear." He said being dragged out as he put his mask on.

Draco waited w few minutes after they left before he heard her come down, when he did his breath was taken away. Her dress was a short sleeved black, to match his black vest that shifted to green to blue to red in the light. It was long and the skirt was pleated, while the front of the bodice was laced up in blue, red, and green ribbon that brought her eyes out. Half her hair was pinned up in the back of her head in curls while the rest was loose and curly. Her mask was a solid black with red, green, and blue inlays.

"Wow." He said as he followed her down the stairs.

"Do you like it?" She asked.

"Uhuh, but where did you get the material, I have never seen one that shifted those colors." He asked looking at the dress.

"Dite gave it to me, she said it was the perfect mix of both of our house." She answered twirling to show off the shifting color.

"It's perfect, shall we my Gryffindor Queen." He asked bowing and holding a hand out.

She curtsied back, "I believe we shall my Slytherin King."

That night all the houses danced away and the teachers had no idea. They didn't know that a Hufflepuff in an orange dress was dancing with a Slytherin, they didn't know that the ice queen in her deep blue dress was dancing with a Ravenclaw. They didn't know that a god was dancing with his goddess, or that a pure Gryffindor was dancing with a pure Slytherin.

The next morning everyone got to the hall early because they knew what was going to happen. When all the teachers sat down and started eating, the students threw discrete looks at them. Halfway through the meal there was a large poof and where the teachers sat there was a collection of animals.

Dumbledore was now an old goat, McGonagall was a lioness, Flitwick was a bald eagle, and professor Sprout was a grizzly bear. All of a sudden a wolverine comes waddling into the great hall that was Madame Pomfrey. Umbridge was a bullfrog, Trelawney was a fruit bat, and Hooch was a hummingbird. There was a roar from the other end of the table and in Hagrid's place now sat a Hungarian horntail, next to him was Snape who was now a pretty white unicorn, with a golden mane.

At Grimmauld Place

Remus walked into the kitchen expecting to have a normal breakfast, however when he walked into the kitchen he saw something unexpected.

There was a black griffin drinking tea from a bowl, a raccoon reading the newspaper, and a black bear cooking breakfast.

So he did the logical thing, he got himself a cup of tea, sat down at the table and said, "could you pass me the paper when you are done Arthur."

At the Longbottom estate

Augusta was sitting down for breakfast when something strange happened, she suddenly turned into spectacled bear. So she finished her breakfast, and went to go do some work in her study.

At the Malfoy estate

Narcissa was sitting down to have breakfast with her husband, when there was a poof

When the smoke had cleared in her husband's place was a white peacock. "Well that certainly is fitting." She said.

He just warbled at her, so she smiled and said, "Yes I do believe that it fits you perfectly."

Back at the estates and Grimmauld place

In front of the animals and Remus a slip of paper appeared it said:

Prepare to go POOF!

In

POOF!

There was a poof in the great hall and a peacock, a griffin, a black bear, a raccoon, a confused werewolf, a confused wife, an ostrich, a hellhound (the kind from Percy Jackson), a vulture, and a spectacled bear appeared.

Another note came down and Narcissa caught it, it said:

Prepare to go POOF again!

IN

POOF AGAIN!

This time when the smoke cleared everyone was back to normal, except for a few extra appendages. Also the student body from year two and up was gone.

The hellhound had turned into Kinsley, the wolf had become Tonks, the Vulture had become Moody, and the Ostrich was Fudge.

Who turned around and saw Sirius, who now had big black wings and yelled, "Murderer!"

They face palmed at this until Narcissa said, "He was cleared, remember?"

"Oh yeah." He said his face turning red.

"What I am concerned about is where most of our students disappeared too." McGonagall said her tail twitching in annoyance.

Just then another piece of paper floated down from the ceiling with the Marauders Map attached to it. Sirius grabbed the map and paper and read it aloud.

We welcome you to our game of Hunt.

There will be riddles for you to guess

And puzzles for you to solve

That will lead you to a person or place.

If you solve them all then you will get a prize.

Do you want to play?

Yes or No

Sirius looked at the teachers, and saw them nod so he pulled out his wand and tapped the yes. They looked and saw a puzzle appear on the page.

"Alright Madame Hooch, and Trelawney I want you to stay with the first years." Dumbledore announced. "The rest of you come with me since we don't know what we will encounter."

At that they exited the Great Hall and stopped outside to read the clue:

NIGHTSHADE

ELM

VIOLA

IRIS

LILAC

LOTUS

EVERGREEN

That was the entire clue they thought about it for minute before Sprout spoke up.

"Well I can tell you that those are all plants, so maybe the greenhouse." She said looking at the paper.

"Maybe not, maybe it isn't a place but a name, and the idea of the plants themselves are a clue." Remus said looking at them.

"What do you mean?" Lucius asked confused.

"Well what if it is a student who really likes plants." He said then he grabbed the paper and circled the first letters. "Look N.E.V.I.L.L.E, Neville, the riddle is talking about him. Sirius look on the map and find him."

Sirius pulled out the Map, until Severus stopped him , "I know that parchment but the last time I tried to get in it insulted me."

Sirius smirked and said, "That's because you didn't have the passcode, I solemnly swear I am up to no good." As soon as he said that ink spread out across the parchment and the familiar words showed up.

Everyone looked on in awe at the map, Sirius opened it up and saw that Neville was near the courtyard.

"That is a brilliant map, can it track anyone?" McGonagall asked.

"Yep and it can see through any spell, potion, or invisibility cloak, but it can't seem to find the other students. They must be somewhere that we never got to, therefore never added onto the map." Sirius said frowning.

"We can deal with that later but first let's go talk to my grandson." Augusta said sweeping out and towards the courtyard.

When the party got there they saw Neville waiting for them.

"That didn't take you very long." He said taking in their appearances, "here they said to give this to you." He said handing them a blank piece of paper.

"Who are they?" Dumbledore asked a twinkle in his eye.

"Nope, not saying and I never asked. Just write on the parchment with your wand the last answer and the new clue will appear. Good luck, you will need it." He said walking down the hall and disappearing around the corner.

"Alright, that was weird." Sirius said pulling out his wand and writing Neville on the paper. The new clue read.

A PLACE WHERE ADVENTURES CAN START AND END

A PLACE WHERE THE DEAD CAN CONVERSE WITH THE LIVING

A PLACE WHERE SILENCE MEANS LEARNING CAN HAPPEN

A PLACE WHERE ANIMALS, SPELLS, AND PLANTS RESIDE

WHERE AM I?

"See now this a place." Remus said looking at the clue.

"That sounds like the library." Flitwick said.

"Why do you think that?" Sprout asked looking at her fellow teacher.

"Because the first line sounds like when you read adventure books and they take you away. The second line is about authors who aren't around imparting their wisdom, the third line is about how you know when people are reading is because it is silent. Finally the fourth line is about the types of books that are there." He said finishing his explanation.

"Sounds good to me, let's head to the Library." Hagrid said as he took off walking.

When they got there they were quiet as not to disturb the Librarian. Sitting in a chair at the table was Hermione, McGonagall approached her.

"Hello Miss. Granger." McGonagall said walking over.

Hermione looked up and smiled at them, "Hello, I am guessing you would like the next clue?"

"That we would Miss. Granger." McGonagall said.

Hermione handed over an empty parchment, "I am guessing Neville told you how to get the clue."

"That he did." McGonagall said taking the paper.

"Alright then Good luck, and see you later." She said standing up and walking behind a bookshelf and disappearing.

McGonagall walked back out to the waiting party and wrote Library on the paper, the clue read.

KUU, LUNE, MOND, HOLD, IIEUAD, GEALACH

"Are those a different language, if so what do mean?" Tonks asked looking at the clue.

"They all are different versions of moon." Dumbledore said.

"Moon, moon, moon that's it this is a person's name. Are there any students whose name means moon?" Sirius asked pulling the map out.

"I have a student in my house whose name is Luna." Flitwick said.

Sirius looked at the map and there was Luna Lovegood sitting in the astronomy tower, they headed there.

When they got there Luna was sitting at the edge with her feet dangling over it.

"Hello Professors and guests." She said without turning around.

"Hello Miss. Lovegood." Flitwick said walking over to her.

"Good job on getting this far." She said handing the paper over.

"Thank you." He said taking the paper, but not moving.

"Oh don't worry about me I have some friends watching out for me." She said looking in a corner and smiling.

They looked where she was but didn't see anything.

"I would suggest hurrying it is rude to keep people waiting." She said looking at the group and making a shooing motion.

So they turned and walked out of the tower leaving the strange girl, not seeing Neville and Hermione appear from the corner.

Flitwick wrote Luna out on the paper, the next riddle read:

Drawn Round Area Constellation Order

"Those are just a bunch of words." McGonagall said looking at the words.

"I am going to have to agree." Flitwick said frowning slightly.

"Well from what we know, I believe it is talking about a person.

"Of course it is, that is a name already." Hagrid said.

Dumbledore looked at him confused, "What do you mean?"

"Well the other riddles were all capitalized, in this one only the first letter of each are." Hagrid said pointing to each.

Snape read it and then turned to Sirius, "Is Draco Malfoy on the map?"

"Hold on a second," He said pulling the map out again, "Yes he is at the Quidditch pitch."

The group took Luna's warning seriously and hurried to the pitch. Draco was sitting on the bleachers tossing a snitch up and down.

When he heard them calling he looked over and smirked, "In a rush are we?"

"Never mind that do you have the paper?" Snape asked glaring at his godson.

"I do but first tell me who solved the puzzle." He said smirking at the group.

"I did, why." Hagrid said confused.

"Ha, Blaise owes me ten galleons." Draco said.

"What do you mean?" Lucius said confused about why his son would think Hagrid would figure it out.

"Well I bet Blaise that Hagrid would figure it out, he said Professor Flitwick would. I thought Hagrid would because he doesn't overthink things. For instance someone like Hermione would look at it and try to figure out the meaning of the words, while someone like Ron would just notice the difference." He just shrugged and jumped down. "Sometimes you need to not overthink things and just see what is in front of your face, that is what people seem to miss the most." Then he walked into Hogwarts and disappeared.

"Something is going on here, and the professors seem to be oblivious to it." Remus said looking over at the paper in Lucius' hand.

"Yeah, but then again I think something has been going on since they got back from the island." Sirius said shrugging.

"What do you mean?" Remus asked watching Lucius trace Draco on the paper.

"I mean none of the kids seem worried about Voldemort, death eaters are just turning up tied up at the ministry, along with the pranks, and this whole animal thing." He said gesturing to his wings, "I think that we have missed a huge thing."

"You two the next clue appeared." Augusta said calling to them.

HERE IS WHERE WE CELEBRATE

HERE IS WHERE WE CRY

HERE IS WHERE THE NEWS COMES IN

HERE IS WHERE WE GET DIVIDED

WHERE AM I?

"I do believe it is speaking of the Great Hall." Dumbledore said calmly.

"I believe you are right." McGonagall said.

When they got there and pushed the door open, the only person there was Ron sitting in the Headmasters chair.

"Ronald, what are you doing in the headmaster's chair." Molly said speaking up, and placing her hands on her hip.

"Trying to see the appeal of sitting here, but I don't see one, say Sir does it get lonely sitting here?" He asked coming around to the front.

"Sometimes, and can I ask how many of these we have left?" He asked his blue eyes twinkling.

"Three technically, but then again I wasn't the one who wrote them." Ron said smiling as he handed the paper to his Mom.

"Who did then?" McGonagall asked.

"Nope, can't tell you that, but I can say two things. One the next riddle might not be hard to some answer wise, but it is something that needs to be gotten over. The second thing is that the second to last one will tell you." Ron walked out letting the group ponder his words.

Molly wrote Great Hall and the next riddle appeared:

I AM WHERE FOUR HAVE GATHERED

I AM WHERE THREE HAVE FOUGHT

I AM WHERE TWO ALMOST DIED

I AM WHERE ONE WAS KEPT

WHERE AM I?

"The shrieking shack." Sirius said almost immediately.

"Why would you say that, that place is considered haunted." Augusta said.

"No it isn't, that was where I was kept during my years at Hogwarts hence the fourth line. The first line talks about how James, Peter, Sirius and I would gather there on the full moons. The three who fought were Sirius, Peter, and two years ago. Where the two almost died, well that is a story for another time." He said looking over at Umbridge and Fudge.

"I believe you are right on both accounts, so shall we be off to see who is waiting for us." Dumbledore said walking out of the hall.

As he had predicted there was a person waiting for them, it was Harry.

"Hey Pup." Sirius said hugging Harry.

"Hello Sirius, are you having fun?" He asked laughing at their slightly ragged looks.

"Not really, we have been running all over the castle." He said pouting.

Harry laughed again, "well don't worry you only have one more place to go, and it will be worth it."

Then he handed them the paper.

"The last place, Ron said there were two more." Arthur said confused.

"Well I guess that is true, but the last one you don't have to go anywhere." Harry explained.

"Alright, then we better solve this." Remus said taking his wand out.

"You do that I am going to head back to the castle." Harry said walking towards the castle.

But they didn't hear him entranced by the words appearing on the paper.

TRICKS AND TREATS

PRANKS AND PRIZES

MISCHEIF AND MORE

TROUBLE AND TREASURE

PARTIES AND PLENTY

MAYHEM AND MORE

WHO ARE WE?

"I should have known." McGonagall said face palming.

"What do you mean?" Kingsley asked confused (there are a lot of people confused about the whole thing.)

"Sirius pull out that map of yours and find the Weasley twins." As soon as she said that realization hit a lot of people.

"They are in moaning Myrtle's bathroom." Sirius said putting the map away.

"Of course they are let's go see why they did this." Molly said starting back towards the castle.

When they got to the bathroom there was Fred and George waiting for them twin smirks on their faces.

"Welcome and congrats." They said together.

"Why did you do this?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, no you didn't figure," Fred started.

"out the last riddle." And George finished.

"Do we get another piece of paper?" Tonks asked raising an eyebrow.

"You,"

"don't,"

"need,"

"it."

"Little Draco,"

"told you,"

"earlier not to."

"overthink things."

They took all the riddles out and looked at them, that's when they noticed that in each riddle, one letter was written differently.

Sirius read the word aloud, "Regulus."

Then as soon as he said it the floor opened up and they fell down, into the chamber of secrets. When they hit the ground they passed out from the impact.

"Siri."

Sirius twitched.

"Hey Siri."

Sirius twitched again.

"Hey Siri wake up!"

Sirius jerked upright into someone poking him with a stick.

"Good you're awake, now can you help me wake up the others." Reggie said standing up and pointing to the unconscious Weasley's, Kingsley, Tonks, Remus, Malfoy', Professors, Moody, and Amelia Bones (she went POOF there earlier).

"Reggie am I dead?" He asked looking up at his (formerly) dead brother.

"Hold on, I know how to test this." Then he took the stick and smacked him repeatedly on the head. "Did that hurt?"

"Yes!" He said rubbing his head.

"Great then congratulations you are not dead, now can you enervate these people awake." Reggie said pointing at them with his stick.

Sirius just nodded and enervated the people awake.

Severus was the first person to react to the person watching them impatiently. "Regulus is that you?"

"Yes it is I Regulus Black, whoever doesn't believe me I am sure that a few smacks upside the head will prove it." He said waving his stick around a few people backed up thinking it was a wand, he noticed that and smirked, "oh would you chill out it is just an ordinary stick I picked up."

"But how are you here?" Narcissa asked looking at her cousin.

He smirked again and said, "Magic."

A bunch of people facepalmed at that.

"Really Reg." Sirius said chuckling.

Reggie smiled at Sirius, "no, but we just needed to be here."

"We?" Amelia asked.

"We." Reggie said walking through a door that lead to the NDDP part of the hospital wing.

When they walked through the door there were sobs heard. Laying in the beds was the Prewett twins, the Bones, Marlene McKinnon, Pandora Lovegood, and the Longbottoms, along with many others.

Sirius spotted the familiar unruly head of black hair and walked over to see James and Lily Potter. "James?" He said quietly.

"We think that they are waiting for certain people." Reggie said walking up behind Sirius.

"What should I do then?" Sirius asked his eyes not leaving his friend.

"I don't know trying waking him up like you would normally." He sad shrugging.

All of a sudden a familiar twinkle appeared in Sirius' eye before he raised his wand, and shouted, "Hey James it is time to wake up!" and he shot a stream of freezing cold water at him shocking him awake.

"Padfoot!" James yelled jumping up and shaking himself off, "what the hell was that for."

"Keep it down some of us are trying to sleep." A voice yelled from across the room.

"I cannot believe that worked." Reggie said looking around at the people waking up.

James then squinted at Sirius, he took his glasses off and wiped them off. He put them back on and squinted at them again then he said, "Hey Siri?"

"Yeah?"

"When did you get so old?"

Oh my God that was long, that has got to be one of the longest things I have written. But yeah that is the end of that chapter, the next one will be up as soon as I can write it. I was planning on making it longer but I figured that was a good place for it to end. Review and tell me what you think, or what you're favorite part was, or who you want them to meet first.
