Here we have it, a shortish chapter. Let's keep it at, I was busy on that one, cause really I was, over the last three months I finished 15 out of 25 exam assignments, so that's something to be quite proud of, although I meant to finish the entirety before last week, but hey, if I wanted to reach that, I probably should have started working on them seriously a lot earlier...

This chapter is to me quite double sided, there was meant to be a lot more in this then there is, but I have been able to add about 300 words over the last week to it, and I will be honest, where it ends, it kind of seems fitting, and somehow seems right, so I'm going to accept that, and just post it to you guys.

Things are definitely speeding up.

Disclaimer: before anyone asks, I do not own Harry Potter, nor Life is Strange, I just enjoy putting the two worlds together, and seeing what kind of chaos ensues. because really, that's the only thing I can describe this story as, "controlled" chaos(it has been turned down from what it is in my mind, so controlled fits).

reviews:

maxiicaulfieldx: I hope it is like you hoped it would be, the storm is closing in on them, and the chaos will only increase...

Aaron Leach: Thank you for your continued support of this story.

King of Snakes: Thank you for notifying me of my mistake, I believe I fixed it. And thank you so much for reassuring me that both my chapter title and my handling of David in last chapter was good, it means a lot to me.

Pappyoldguy: first of all, do not take this story as how life is strange is, believe me, it's a lot less chaotic then my story is, and there is far more time travel involved.
Your next review is a lot harder for me to form a functioning reply to, but I will try anyway.
Thank you so much for your kind words, It is actually amazing how much all of that helped me and how many times I read the entirety of that over the last month or so, so really, from the debts of my heart, thank you, I really, really appreciate it, and I have a feeling I will be reading that review a lot more in the future.

Damn, I didn't even sound like myself anymore... why do I do this at 12 at night again?

well, enough rambling, have a nice read.

Ch 10 The questioning

"So, who would you like to speak with first?" Principal Wells asked Harry.

Harry thought for a few seconds before he answered. "I would like to see Victoria Chase first, according to Kate, she gave her the invite, so that would be starting at the beginning."

"Could you possibly tell me the kinds of questions you will ask her before we start asking them?"

"Mostly about Kate, but I want to find some kind of connection with Rachel Amber going missing, it would be quite useful if we could get a bit more information about her as well."

"Very well, I will collect her from her class." Principal Wells spoke before he left the office.

Whilst the man was gone Harry did a quick scan of the office, noting Kate, Max and Nathan's records were lying on top of the principal's desk, with a quick spell he made sure he would get a warning when the principal would come back, and Harry quickly opened the records, noting how on all three, there had been a decline on their marks for a while, and the notation that Max seemed to be hiding something, and how she was the person seemingly linked to the pulling of the fire alarm last Monday.

Kate's record however seemed completely spotless, until the weekend, where a notation was made of a video going around campus, and the suicide attempt earlier this week.

Nathans however surprised Harry, It was completely empty, beside the notecards, there were no notations, no different files, no history records.

"Interesting…" Harry muttered as he looked at the records once more.

"D.A. Can you hear me?" Harry asked into his earpiece.

"Copying loud and clear lightning." Harry heard Dean's voice.

"I need you to do something the moment you have set up camp, I need you to find everything you can find on Nathan Prescott, and the Prescott Family."

"Why do you want us to do this?" Hermione voice broke through.

"Because I just read through Nathan Prescott's records, and they are far to empty. No notations of parent visitations, no historical records at all." Harry quickly explained.

"That is worth investigating." He heard Hermione once more. "Dean, you think you can handle that?" She asked, Harry could immediately hear Dean muttering the possible ways to find that out to himself.

"I'll take that as a yes, thank you, notify me as fast as you know something." Harry said as he put back the records exactly as he had found them. Not a second later his quick notification ward went off, notifying him of the returning principal.

A few seconds later the door opened to the sight of the principal, accompanied by a young woman.

The girl noticed Harry immediately.

"Hullo," Harry started, "I'm Harry Potter, I would like to ask you a few questions." He continued as the principal closed the door and took his place behind his desk.

Victoria looked between Harry and the principal, who just offered her to take a seat.

"What is this about?" She asked the moment she had sat down.

"Kate Marsh, the party you invited her to, the Vortex club." Harry offered.

"What do you want to know?" She asked again, looking at the principal, who had not said anything since he entered the room.

"Were you the person who invited Kate to last saturday's party?" Harry started after a quick look at his notes.

"Yes, I was." She said again, looking to the principal, before turning her eyes back to Harry.

"May I ask why you invited her?" Harry asked.

"We thought it would be fun if she joined us, that it would be good for her." She said, before continuing. "She seemed to need a bit of fun, and we thought joining a party would give that to her." Her face was completely unreadable. "How wrong we were…" She muttered to herself, losing a lot of her confident façade.

"Who came with the idea to invite her?" Harry asked, observing the unease and guilt on the younger girls face.

"I can't remember… but It definitely was one of the guys. " The girl said.

"Were you at the party last saturday?" Harry asked.

"Yes, everything was amazing as always, but after a while Kate started acting very weird." Her voice was turning unsteady.

"Weird? Could you give me a bit more detail?" Harry asked, trying to keep his voice and face as non threatening as he could, it would be no use to scare the girl off.

"She started…. Ehm… she started to act very… ehm… open, and eh… flirty to the guys there and ehm…" Harry could see a vast range of emotion tracking the girls face as she tried to find the words to answer his question.

"Take your time," Harry said, this was answered with a small smile from the girl and a grateful nod.

It took her a minute before she continued, "She started sitting on guys their laps, and well… ehm… tried to get more…"

"Did you see someone giving her something to drink?" Harry asked as he observed that she seemed to be unable to continue.

"Well, yes, I saw her drinking a beer, I believe she got it from Nathan, but that would not be enough to get anyone to act like she did." She looked Harry in the eye.

"Have you seen this happen before?" Harry asked the girl. "Noticed anything even slightly similar happening to anyone before?"

"I don't believe so..." She said, she however sounded very unsure.

"Do you know if there was any drugs at the party." Harry continued the questioning, making note of her uncertainty.

This question actually surprised the girl, and she immediately looked at the principal again, worry edged on her face.

"Well, there is generally some drugs at the parties, but we do not give it to people who do not want it." She said with complete conviction.

"Well, apparently someone sneaked it into Kate's drink." Harry offered with a raised eyebrow. He observed both the principal and the girls frowns.

"I'm sorry mister potter, but may I?" Principal Wells spoke up.

"Go ahead." Harry said.

"So you say that drug consumption is normal at your parties?" Principal Wells asked the girl in front of him.

"Yes sir." Victoria said, looking down, seemingly knowing what would come.

"Have you had any?" The principal asked.

"Yes." The girl answered, still looking down.

"Did you have any last Saterday?" He continued.

"Yes." She said after a long pause.

"Bugger…" Harry muttered before taking over from the other man. "Then I have a few final questions for you." He spoke.

"Did you know Rachel Amber."

"Yes." Her answer was direct and even.

"How did you percieve her?" Harry asked again.

"She was a bitch, that got worse the more she hung out with Price." She spoke, again, her voice was even.

"Did she go to those parties of yours?" Harry asked Her.

"Yes she did." She answered him.

"Thank you for your answers." Harry spoke. "It's a shame I can not take them for face value." He muttered as he stood up.

"What do you mean?" Victoria asked him.

Before Harry could answer however, Principal Wells answered the question for him.

"You were under the influence of both alcohol and drugs, we can not actually use this, your judgement was clouded as they say." He said. "That however does explain the video, and why noone in it acted before she became unwell."

"What?" The girl asked shocked.

"It's true, for all we know, all of that could have been a drug induced hallucination." Harry explained, "I do wish you a nice day." Harry said just before the principal stood up and walked to the door, before he opened it however, he turned to the girl once more.

"I believe you are in no state to return to your classes, I will tell your teachers why you are not there, go take a rest, clear your mind." He said before he opened the door. The girl walked out, shock clearly marking her face.

"You brought her to her limit, without even getting any usable information." Principle Wells spoke after closing the door, "What was that?"

"I'm not sure what it is, but something did not seem right, I think we need to find the person who gave the beer to Kate, I have a feeling we would have the person who drugged her drink, and thus started all of the things that have happened over the last week."

"And who would you say we should question next?" Principal Wells asked.

"She did mention Nathan, and his name has come up quite a bit in my talks with the girls..." Harry spoke before trailing off.

Harry wanted to continue, but was stopped by a knock on the door.

He looked at the principal with a raised eyebrow. "We did not ask her to bring anyone else did we?" This was met with a shake of the principal's head, as he opened the door.

"Harry, Chloe and Max are following Nathan Prescott. The moment Principal Wells collected Victoria from the classroom and gave the quick explanation to mister Jefferson, he left, and after Chloe and Max followed him, Mister Jefferson left the classroom as well."

"Oh come on…" Harry muttered. Just as the principal was complaining about the negative effect Chloe had on the people around her.

"Kate, do something for me will you, stay with one of the other teachers, I have a feeling this is not going to end well." Harry said as he quickly picked up his bag. Before activating his earpiece again.

"Have you guys set up camp yet?" Harry Asked swiftly, "I need you to track alpha one and two."

"Tracking them now." Hermione spoke, not 5 seconds later her voice could be heard again. "they are moving, they seem to be just about five minutes east of your location."

"Thanks Hermione. Have Luna and Neville stand on standby."

"Got it." Harry heard the immediate replies from the two afforementioned people.

"I will continue the rest of the questioning after I'm done, thank you sir for the use of your office." Harry spoke as he quickly made his way out of the office.

"Wait, where are you going?" Principal Wells asked in shock, as Harry had just put a few steps out of his office.

"Stopping those two from doing something stupid." Harry spoke as he made his way to the exit.

"Chloe, Max, do you copy?" Harry asked in his earpiece.

"Caulfield, Price, do you hear me!?" Harry spoke again as he hurried out of the front door.

"What is going on?" Madson asked as he saw Harry speeding to the parking lot and heard the names.

"They seem to have forgotten they are still schoolgirls…" Harry muttered. "You carried a gun?" He asked as the two came to his car.

"Yes, I've served my country." The man said.

"Great, you're joining me, now is your chance to protect her as you should." Harry said as he collected a case from the back of his car, a second later the man had a military grade assault rifle pushed into his hand, accompanied by an ammo pouch.

Harry himself just pulled on a bulletproof vest, before offering one to the other man.

"I'm not even going to ask." The man said.

"Great, saves a lot of time and energy, now get in." Harry said, as he slammed the trunk closed and hurried into the driver's seat, just a second later he was joined by Madson.

Thank you for reading, and don't be shy, if you notice any mistakes or have questions, you can always ask, or notify me of them, I do appreciate it, I am just one person after all.

ugh... 500 words of rambling...
