Chapter 4
Susan and Cassie sat in the Ravenclaw common room with Cedric. Susan shook
her head. "Why did we agree to this?"
"Because we only have one more year left to do all this fun stuff." Cedric
reminded them.
"If we get caught!" Cassie began.
"We Won't. we have the map, we have the cloaks, we WONT get caught." Cedric
nodded. He looked at the time. "Speaking of which, we should go."
They nodded and all piled under Susan's cloak, figuring it would be easier
to keep track of the three of them under one cloak. Cassie's cloak was
tucked under her arm. "Where are we meeting them?"
"There." Cedric pointed to the bottom of the stairs. "They will see us
coming, they have the map."
At his word, the cloak fell and showed Fred, George, Oliver, Harry, Ron and
Hermione all stuff udner one cloak. They waved them down and they took off
their cloak and all gathered at the bottom of the stairs.
"Harry, Ron and Hermione will get Harrys cloak." The handed the cloak to
Harry. "They have the map and we will all he holding onto eachothers cloaks
INCASE anyone shows up. We'll stop." Fred nodded looking at all of them, he
was talking quickly in a hushed tone.
"Cassie, Oliver and I will be under her cloak, and Susan, Cedric and Fred
will be under hers." George continued. "Without further ado.. lets go."
They all piled under their respective cloaks, holding onto the one in front
of them. They left the great hall but were stopped suddenly when Harry
leaned into Cassies cloak announcing that Draco MIGHT have seen them. They
remained motionless watching the top of the stairs where he stood with his
cronies, looking down at the entrance hall. He scowled and walke away. When
he disappeared they started out the doors and toward the lake.
Malfoy watched as the door to Hogwarts opened and closed adn noone enter or
leave. He smiled and look to Crabbe and Goyle and they followed him
outside. Sneaking rather quietly. They stopped, watching nothing.
When the group got to the lake they all removed the cloaks and glanced
around at eachother. Fred and George didn't wait, they dove into the lake
and soon surfaced. "C-COLD!"
"Well, no crap, its almost October!" Hermione shook her head. "I can't
believe you guys are here."
"Then go back to the dorm." Ron looked at her. "You don't need to be here."
He turned and dove in after his brothers. Pretty soon everyone was in teh
icy lake swimming.
"If we don't get caught, we sure as hell with have a bad cold. try
explaining that to Madame Pomfrey!" Harry laughed.
"GUYS!" Hermione ran to the side of them. "Draco's outside and Snape is
getting ready to leave the castle with Flich and Mcgonagall! Hurry up! Get
out! NOW!"
They all piled out of the lake and not even bothering to dry off threw the
cloaks over their head. They grabbed onto the cloak in front of them and
watched as Snape stopped at the lake.
"It's still rippling." Snape looked around. "Who's out here!" He shouted
into the air. "I can guarentte a Detention you will remember for a LONG
time."
McGonagall stood next to him. "Honestly Servus, there is noone here."
As if on cue a brach from a nearby tree broke, sending three slytherins
onto the invisibility cloaks which fell off reveling the soaked eight, and
Hermione.
"Noone here." Snape smiled wider. "Potter and the gang." He narrowed his
eyes at all of them. "50 points from Ravenclaw AND gryffindor."
"And 50 from Slytherin." McGonagall added, looking at Snape. "I'm sorry
Professor, but three slytherins lie in that pile as well."
Snape Narrowed his eyes. "Fine." He looked them all over. "Certinally you
all won't fit into my dungon. I do hear the Shreiking Shack could use a
cleaning. It'll take WEEKS. ALL OF YOU. MY OFFICE. NOW." He yelled and
followed them in. Professor McGonagall and Flich followed close behind.
"I'll inform Dumbledor." McGonagall wander off to the left.
"Dumbledore won't even save you now." Snape sneered. "The Shreiking shack
will make you regret ever stepping out of line. Either the house kills you,
or you kill eachother. It won't be pretty. You should have thought much
harder before commiting such a henious breaking of the rules."
