Karlito was glad that he didn't have to wait for anymore time. Fred and George had a plan that seemed successful. It was fun, and allowed Karlito to plan some...indoor motorboating.

Harry and Karlito staked out, not being able to sleep. Karlito drifted in and out of subconsciousness. During sometime then, Luna and Hermione had came in, safe. Everything was going according to plan, so Karlito couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

He woke up second in the morning, right after Luna. She wanted some free time, so Karlito left her alone. He summoned a shower and walked into it. It was stinging hot, just the way he needed it to be. Really, this room was a great thing.

Karlito dressed in loose camouflaged clothing. He didn't want to be sighted before the plot. Harry and Hermione got up right after he did. She was a bit nervous, but Harry looked pretty excited at the threat of possible death. Karlito guessed that was what happened when those situations always presented themselves.

At five to five o'clock, Ronald and George were climbing through the chute. They were immediately crowded by the four. "Anything new?" "Yep!" George had a proud smile. "It shall happen in fifteen minutes. When everyone is settling down comfortably in their seats, waiting to please their appetites, there shall be a surprise." Karlito was curious. "Like what?" "Let's just say, the lot of Hogwarts will need a boat and some life jackets." Karlito didn't know what that meant, but he liked it.

Luna had a frown on her face. "What is it?" "Do you guys have alibis? I'd hate for you all to get into trouble, just for us." "Yes," George said. "In fact we do. Ron is lying in his bed, and Madam Promfrey is taking care of him. Fred and I are in the Forbidden Forest, serving a terrible sentence for Snape." "That's good."

Karlito stood up. "Let's get going. We don't want to be over flooded when the tide rises." Karlito put his hand on the chute. "Room of Requirements, this might be my biggest request. Have a boat big enough for thirty people. Ok?" Karlito could feel the room hum beneath his fingers. Karlito got up and followed the rest of the group. This might actually be fun, he thought.

He was right.

First, they snuck in under a disgusting polyjuice potion that made his insides shudder. Karlito and Luna sat at the Slytherin table, while Harry and Hermione sat at the Ravenclaw. Fred and George sat with the Hufflepuffs.

Dumbledore had a fifteen minute speech on why people should abide by the wizarding paw and trust their superior. Like he knew they were lurking in the room. Everyone sat down and dug in. They ate a little, to not be suspicious. Karlito caught sight of Ginny. She was rubbing her palms together in anticipation. Did she know? It would make sense. The girl wasn't stupid.

Karlito tucked down the time on his watch. Three...two...one...

POW! BANG! POP!

It was like fireworks went off in the sky. Water poured in, climbing up to the first year's necks. Fred and George weren't murderers. People floated out of the water. Karlito made his move. He advanced under the cover of chaos, not being noticed until he was right above Snape. All it would take is one spell, and he could restrain, or even kill Dumbledore.

The man looked at him with amused eyes, knowing the boy was no killer.

Karlito cursed himself. "Agnia!" Ropes spurted from his watch. They embellished Dumbledore and Snape, who had gotten in front of the man. Lupin, Flitwick, McGonagall and some others had moved out of the picture, under the cover of saving students.

Snape tried to take out of wand, but Harry and Luna were there. "Expelliarmus!" Both wands flew to Harry. He put them down. Time seemed to stop in the moment. They could kill Dumbledore, Harry would for sure have no problems. But, they could make the man admit to his deception. "Dumbledore! State your sins to the student body!'

The old bag of bones decided to play dumb. "What do you speak of? Unhand me right now!" "You know what we are talking about! The fact that you killed Harry's parents, let Voldemort escape, and nearly killed the entirety of the Wizarding World? Do you deny these claims?" Dumbledore said nothing.

Karlito really wanted to kick him, but that would look bad. People were trying to find higher ground, but they had no luck. "George? Can you reverse it?" "No. We had no time to do so!" The noise came back into their ears. People were yelling and screaming. The kids were panicking. The water had stop coming up, but that didn't cease any trouble.

"What do we do now, Karlito?" Karlito didn't think that he had to make all the decisions, but that was for another time. "We have created doubt. We need to leave-" Bang!

Karlito dropped to the ground, seeing nothing but black. He could hear the falling of ropes and laughter. "Hehe. You thought you had me, didn't you. You're too weak, my boy. Try again in another thirty years or so. Bye bye." Dumbledore jetted up through the roof, leaving behind an unconscious Snape.

Why did he leave? Karlito tried to speak, but his lips were sewn shut. He felt so heavy, and very sleepy. He couldn't...go...to...sleep...

His head dropped off. Fred lifted the boy quite easily. "I swear, he needs more meat." Fred and the rest of the group ran to the boat. Behind them, Ginny, Seamus, Ron, Dean, and Neville followed. They ran onto the boat as it anchored of. The whole of the school was drenched with water, so much in fact, that you needed a boat to navigate it.

Everyone slumped down, adrenaline gone.


Karlito woke up a couple of minutes later. "What happened?" "Don't you remember? Dumbledore clocked you one, then escaped. He left Snape for some reason. I think we proved our point, case in tow." "But, Hermione...There is something still bothering me." "What?" "I can't seem to figure out why he left. Why did Dumbledore leave? He knew that if he left, he would expose himself. And, if he stayed, he and Snape could have beat us with a flick of their hands."

Hermione sighed. "That's a question for another time. Let's go outside." Karlito had just realized that they had been in a cabin, underneath the boat. He got up and walked outside. What Karlito saw did damage to his heart. The beautiful Hogwarts was drowned in water. Ghost scurried about, making a great deal of noise. People in paintings were confused as they drowned substantially.

Luna was up on the lookout, watching what was ahead. Karlito had never known or realized the vastness of Hogwarts until he realized he could fit a yacht into a small hallway. They slowly moved, pressing against the walls. "Come up here." Karlito quickly climbed the ladder. Once he was up, Luna shut the door.

"We've done a bad thing." She didn't look too terrified about it. "Yes. Currently, we are swimming through the only place that ever gave me sanctuary." "It's not as bad as you seem to make it." "Huh?" "We can make it fun." "Ok-" The boat seemed to tilt. Karlito looked out the window and didn't like what he saw. "Uh oh."

"What?" "It's Peeves."

The maniac ghost was swirling himself into a whirlwind and propelling the boat upward. Karlito opened the door. "Peeves! What're you doing!" "What I should've done a long time ago! Getting rid of you scum!" The boat proceeded to rock. Fred yelled from the wheel.

"Buckle up!"
