Necromancer in the midst

Chapter11

Failed exploits

Diary entry 2

Today I was put in Slytherin and was counted as part of the house. Another new fiasco was a Wood Elf was accepted into three ranks of Hogwarts. He seemed to have made friends with a potter and was sent to be in the house of Gryffindor. My plan is slowly coming together I have decided that I will hide my identity completely and make sure that no one expects a thing. I have already created some Inferi and the werewolves have let me use the bodies they do not need. Some creatures of the forest have even decided to help me fight the Hogwarts School. I will launch my attack when my army is ready.

Efilan read the words on the page holding his breath. He recognised the hand writing but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, it frustrated him; he passed the diary over to Lilly who was now reading diary entry.

"Huh, it says he knew we were onto him so he hid the book until he would return" said Lilly looking a bit sad "Ha, he calls Efilan the elf detective" said Lilly closing the book "So what do we do now?"

"Uh, we put the book back and wait for him to write more" said Efilan staring into the fire

The fire was a warm red and was shinning out in the darkness of the night. It must've been late as Efilan was now tired and by the sound of it so was Lilly she yawned and laid across the lounge. The next day was a weekend; Efilan remembered that in two days he had his first Quiddich match. He smiled as he remembered James' face when he had handed the snitch back in such a short amount of time. he got up off the lounge so Lilly could extend her feet across the entire length and sat on the ground in front of the fireplace. Ryan got up off the recliner and headed up the stairs towards the boys' Dorm.

"Night guys" he mumbled walking into the dorm

Efilan laid in front of the fire as the flames licked at the wood in the fireplace. Efilan was almost asleep now he could only see tunnel vision he looked around to see Lilly soundly asleep on the lounge and he fell into darkness.

Efilan woke the next morning only to see that the fire was still going. He had woken up early that morning it was a force of habit when he lived in home tree he was always up early. He looked around towards Lilly who was still asleep. Efilan slowly walked over to the lounge and poked the girl, she stirred but did not wake up. He poked her again and this time she woke up

"Efilan it is so early" mumbled Lilly "Why did you wake me?"

"Look at the sunrise" he said pointing towards the window

Lilly smiled and sat up on the lounge "Efilan it is beautiful, do you see that allot at tree heart?" she asked still smiling

"Yeah but it is warmer up here" mumbled Efilan looking out of the window "I like it here"

"Yeah well you say that now but you still have to show me all those creatures" Lilly rested her head on the arm of the chair "Come on Efilan we need to place the book back so we can catch the Necromancer" said Lilly getting up and looking at the book on the floor.

Efilan followed Lilly out of the portrait hole and into the corridor. Lilly skipped down the stairs and Efilan followed. They got halfway down the stairs and they started to move.

"Oh great we have to put up with this when we are doing something important" muttered Efilan as they walked down to the next set of stairs.

The next set changed back to the path they had to take. Efilan now led Lilly towards the lavatory and they rounded a corner to see a hooded figure in a corner. He was standing there watching the two children. He was too big to be the necromancer.

"Out a bit early children?" he asked "I'm guessing you now know what house the necromancer is in and that he is in your year"

"Yes" said Efilan in a small voice "Who are you and what do you want?"

"What I want is to see the mighty prince of the woods and the potter girl bring down the necromancer" the man walked towards a corridor

Efilan ran towards the man as he rounded a corner. Efilan rounded the same corner only to see he had vanished. Lilly walked over the Efilan and put her hand on his shoulder

"Efilan come on we will worry about him later" she said walking towards the girl's lavatory.

Efilan followed suit and was walking around the corner when Lilly stopped dead. Efilan looked past her to see five Inferi rounding the corner. Efilan walked in front of Lilly and blocked their path

"Get the book back to the spot I will take care of these piles of dust" said Efilan looking at the Inferi

Lilly nodded and walked down another corridor as Efilan whipped out his wand. The Inferi made a sound like hoarse whispering. Efilan sent a spell at the wall behind them. It reflected off and bounced into the back of an Inferi which was knocked over. The others advanced and Neville rounded the corner behind Efilan. He shot spell at the rest lighting them on fire or making them crumble.

"Efilan go away I'll check the next corridor I'll take it from here" said Neville running down towards the next corridor.

Efilan obeyed and ran towards the girl's lavatory. He ran through corridor after corridor some were still dark as the curtains were still drawn shut. Efilan found the lavatory and slid to a stop on the Mable tiled floor. Lilly came out of the lavatory and smiled

"It's planted" she said with a smile "The trap is set"...
