Chapter 14 Death Eaters in Laurence High School
"Alecto, let's observe Potter for while." Said Amycus, once they entered the muggle school. Of course, they casted the disillusion charm on themselves.
"Fine."
When the bell rang, students came running in the corridors hurriedly. Among them, a raven haired boy was talking to a tall, sporty boy.
"What's the first lesson today?" asked Harry.
"Chemistry, and we're going to the lab today." replied Charles.
"Oh, I think this chemistry thing is very similar to potions. Except we sometimes use raw materials like unicorn hairs and you use chemicals." Ron joined in the conversation.
"There are real unicorns?" Charles was very surprised since he thought unicorns only appear in fairytales.
"Yeah, of course." Said Ron, "What's the muggle version of unicorns?"
"Well…They have one horn on the top of their forehead, and they look like horses…Oh yes, they only come out at night." Said Charles, knocking his head while thinking.
"Our unicorns look similar to yours, but they come out both day and night. Their hairs are used in potions or as the core of wands." said Ron thoughtfully.
A few metres away, Hermione was talking to Luna. "Hey Luna, do you remember what Ms Alcott said last week when I asked if we could use the hall for practicing charms?"
"She said only if we don't blast down it. Like we would!" said Luna, "Though a new creature that father discovered would, those things like explosions."
Amycus and Alecto found a quiet corner to discuss stuff they just seen. It was quite hard because students were rushing to the canteen for breakfast. Finally, the two death eaters retreated out of the school.
"So?" whispered Alecto, "The Dark Lord only gave us some polyjuice potion. How are we supposed get that fifth year?"
"I reckon you should transform into that Charles muggle. It seems that he's close to them." Said Amycus in a low voice, "And I should transform into the teacher that Mudblood mentioned."
"Come in." said Ms Alcott, then continue to sip her coffee.
She was quite surprised when a witch rushed in, clutching a wand tightly in their hand, ready to fight. She stood up, but before she could make a sound, a jet of red light shot out of the witch's wand and hit her squarely in the chest. Everything went black, and she fell hard on the floor with a thud.
Amycus crouched down and picked a hair from the unconscious woman. Then she dropped the hair in a flask, which the liquid inside immediately turned light yellow. She pointed her wand towards the person beneath her feet and muttered an invisible charm. The poor woman was kicked and rolled to the bottom of her own desk. After checking everything was arranged, Amycus drank the potion.
Charles was just a step from the canteen when Alecto found him. Since there were many students around, he didn't want to show himself or get too much attention. He hid behind a smelly rubbish bin, and casted an Imperius Curse on Charles.
"Come here…come here…" Charles pushed other students aside and headed towards the bin.
"Charles, where're you going?" called Harry.
"Er- toilet. Don't wait for me." He answered as instructed.
"OK."
"Here… give me a hair of yours…" obediently, Charles pulled off one of his hair then handed it to Alecto, who put it into the glass of Polyjuice Potion before gulping it down. "Now…shut yourself in a toilet and do not let anyone see you…"
"See you later, everyone! I'm going to Ms Alcott's office now." said Luna brightly. She finished her lunch fairly quickly.
After a while, the fake Charles cleared his throat and told his 'friends', "Er- I want to get something from my room, bye." And he left the canteen, though not for his room, but for Ms Alcott's office.
Luna had no idea what was ahead of her. She bounced in her own style, humming a song on her way to the office.
"You're Luna? Sit down, sit down." said Ms Alcott.
The two of them began to talk about crumple-horned snorkacks. Luna thought that Ms Alcott wasn't very interested in the topic. "Why did she ask me to come if she doesn't like snorkacks?" she thought. Very soon, she knew the reason. It was when Charles came in.
"Hello." The 'Charles' greeted 'Ms Alcott', "Is everything ready?"
"Yeah." Came the reply.
"Hey, Charles, what're you talking about?" asked Luna.
"The Dark Lord wants you." said Alecto in Charles voice, and he whipped out his wand at the moment he spoke.
"Stupefy!" cried Alecto and Amycus together, but the two jets of red light was blocked by a shield charm. The curse bounced around the room, one missed Amycus by millimeters.
Luna ran to the door as quickly as she could. Unfortunately, the instant she reached the door knob, another stunning spell hit her back. She fell on the floor face up, just as Ms Alcott did in the morning.
"Time to go." said Amycus. She grabbed Luna, then two death eaters and a poor student disapparated with a 'pop'.
So now you know how Luna is caught.
By the way, I don't know who is the elder one, Amycus or Alecto? Does anyone know?
