Chapter 5:Very wet evening.
Severus:
Late in evening i came up to Filch's office, to see Potter staying here with mournful expression, Black
and Lupin lurking around.
-Hey, Potter, how about cleaning of toilets, the bit of hard work is always worthwhile. I can even
offer you the role of brush, if you please.
But before he could answer Filch emerged from his office, fidgeting with something very like
manacles, and announced with nasty smile:
-How about a bit of hard work, little rascals? You have to clean toilet on the second floor and repair
all the broken sinks!
Both i and Potter gasped,Filch sniggered malevolently.
If before this night i disliked Potter, now i sincerely hated him.We were all soaked, water streaming in
all directions, and the taps piling on the floor.Potter was extremely thick in part of housekeeping, so
we got two additional sinks out of order instead of reparation.
-Now, you blockhead, were are your famous friends to help you-burst i when the shower of water
splashed from leaked pipe.
-Shut up-barking he, trying to force water back.
-You, drenched your last wits?What you are doing?We need a normal tap for this.
-if you are so clever-splattered Potter-why you are doing nothing?
-Oh yes i'll do.I go to fetch tap from another toilet, let it be Filch's problem to repair it!
And i started for boys' toilets near Slytherin's common room, it was the nearest.When i approached it,
however, some strange noises from inside confused me-it was like some crazy elephant decided to
take a bath here.Water was streaming from the door, so i thought even that mad Filch was on
halfway to ruin it for further detentions stuff.But at last i decided to take a look, and what i saw?
Lucius, wet as sponger and waving his wand madly, it was him.
I stepped inside and couched, Lucius jumped almost to the ceiling.
-Hmm-said i-It seems Black hit your head too hard.Trying to become a merman, or just wanted to
swim a little?
-Severus, it's your, you almost scared wits from me!
-Wits?And you suppose you have any?What you are doing here?
-I just...I wanted...
He waved his wand again hopelessly, new fountain of water splashed on the floor.
-So?
-O'key-instantly exclaimed he-I'll tell you, anyway, i need your help.
-Help in what? Turning toilet into swimming pool, you mean?No thanks.
-Wait, it's important.My father...-he hesitated a little, then finished-my father asked me to burst the
pipes!
....-Is he crazy?-choked i after a minute of terrified silence.-Cozz my is, i'm sure, may be they are all
cracked in the Ministry?
-No, you don't understand, it's very important.He need it in his fight...In his mission...I cannot tell
you, Severus, but it's really critical.But i just cannot do it!The spell which he sent me is wrong, see!
He waved and pointed a wand to toilet seat, exclaiming:"Canalis eruptere!"Nothing happens, except
of little fountain of water, washed already soaked floor.
-You see that?-tragically wailed Lucius
-Yes, i see.
I was about to transport him into Hospital Wing, when new brilliant idea how to revenge on Potter
stroke me.
-O'key, i'll help you with it-grinned i, with song of triumph in my heart.
Tehhie:
I was snoring peacifully in History of Magic with ten nineths of the class. Lucius, however, seemed to
be rather interested in History of Magic (or something else - I cannot tell) and was waving furiously
with his wand under the desk, just like on Transfiguration.
"Wierd... Lucius does not seem the type of the person you can call "perfect student", but may be it's
something else..." my sleepy thinking was interrupted by a shrill scream.
I turned, horrified. It was Severus - he was looking around like if he just saw a ghost (well - there
certainly was one - Binns, but I wouldmn't call him THAT scary).
Binns was curently looking at Severus like he didn;t know that people can actually scream. The rest
of the class seemed quiet amused also. Luckily the bell rang. I came up to Severus and asked what
happened, and he just murmured "bad dream. Saw you embracing Black".
That was OBVIOUSLY not what he saw - but I was furious anyway. Fortunately Lucius and G&G
came up, and Severus asked Lucius what his behavior meant - same thing I wanted to know. Lucius
also lied - well, curious as I am I didn't have a right to come on asking "millions of questions"
Plus I was starving.
Later on in the day I was completely bored, so I set up wandering around the castle, just hopng not to
meet Filch - who will be cheerful today, of course - he got Potter and Severus for detention. I was
just exiting the Slytherin common room and walking on to the corridor that led to the library, when
interesting sound grabbed my attention. It was water and somebody saying "Damn it!". As I
approached Slytherins bathroom I knew immediately who was it - Severus was standing outside of it,
soaked with water. Water was also slowly flowing from under the Boys bathroom door. Seconds
later Lucius exited it, also soaked.
- Er... As far as I know you didn't get a detentio - I said, addressign Lucius - or are here practical
lessons for swimming?
- Kind of - said Lucius, not grining though.
- Oh, well! - I said, opening the Girls Bathroom - I hope it's not too... OH NOT THE SAME
THING! - Girls bathroom was also soaked with water.
- Just don't tell me you went to Girls bathroom too... - I went on, turning around - but the hallway
was boy-less with only water sadly dripping in both of the bathrooms.
I was also pretty wet now, and, because I didn't want to be blamed for watering the bathrooms, I
went back to common room, which was dak and empty, with only few flames in the fireplace. I went
up to girls dormitory and saw Vivica sitting on the bed, murmuring something over the sheet of paper.
- homework? - I asked
- yeah - she said, urmuring again, not looking at me. I changed quickly and went to the library. Surely
this day was worth thinking about, plus I still had some homework to do - for example my History of
-Yawn- Magic one....
Melian (her first appearance!):
Melian looked at her mother and the other proffesor. They walked into two boys. Prof Millstone
looked at the two boys. "hhmm, the wetlook is in? she turned them dry with a simple move from her
wand I have a job for you, show my daugther around. She just finished her international qudditch
match. That is the reason why she is a late comer at our school.
The teacher turned around leaving Melian with the two boys.
She smiled at them, not knowing what to say. One of them was jsut looking mad and the other had a
smile that she didn't quite trusted but it intruiged her also.
" Hi my name is Melian an I am sorted in Gryffindor. I really wanted to be in Slytherin, but that
wasn't allowed because I am a necromancer and since that is black arts the found it better to cool me
off in gryffindor."
She waited for a reply when her owl landed on her shoulder.
Severus:
"It's too many girls in this school, don't you think?"-i whispered to Lucius, when we got rid of Tehhie
and immediately run into new one.
But first,she was quite pretty, second, her mother was our D.A.D.A. Professor and, third-this
thought instantly came to me-she was from Gryffindor, and we were in need of some ally to play my
little joke on Potter and K.So i smiled to her and said:
-O'key, finish with your owl and i'll show you the castle, but let my friend go, he's tired slightly.
Actually, Lucius looked completely bewildered, so it wasn't lie.He left for common room.Girl, Melian
or what-was-her-name, smiled to me, untied letter from owl's leg and stuffed it into pocket.
When we both started for owlery to leave her owl,i said:
-My name is Severus, i'm from Slytherin.Pity you are in Gryf, they are pretty dumb there, especially
Potter and Black-you'll see.
-Potter and Black?
-Gryffindor first-years.No doubts, they'll dislike you, they hate Dark Arts, good boys.If you want an
appropriate company, befriend us-i mean me and Lucius.By the way, you said you're necromancer,
where you studied it?
When i returned to our Common Room, it was almost sunrise, but i have some success with this girl.I
was sure she'll help us with Potter, and now i have to explain my plan to Lucius.
He was sitting in armchair, obviously irritated.
-Now, you dallied enough with this smartie?What about sewer?
-Lucius, you are not exactly from romantic sort, yeah?Sewer, after such a tender
conversation?-sneered i,-O'key, lets see.Your "canalis eruptere" thing obviously isn't working, and i
don't know special charm to burst pipes.
-So what?-asked Lucius impatiently.
-Relax.I can brew a pretty nice solution, that'll burst all pipes in minute.But i need two days at least to
prepare it, and place to do it, and also i have some brilliant idea.
-What?
-It'll explode with abysmal force,sonny.Actually, i reckon almost all the toilets will be impaired.
-And?
-And try to fancy what will occur to guys within the toilets?
-You mean...You mean-Lucius's face brightened-Potter and Black?
-Precisely.We need only several drops of purgative-no problems, i can make it-and somebody to
pour it into their glasses.Now guess why i spent all night chatting with this gryffindor beauty?
Lucius grinned-and so did i.
Sirius:
Sirius was deeply troubled after transfiguration, He had been partnered with Lucius Malfoy, who,
instead of turning his pin into a beetle, was messing about with his wand under the desk. Sirius
pretended throughout the lesson that he hadn't noticed, but was trying really hard to listen to what
Malfoy was muttering. Behind him, he could hear James and Snape. If Sirius was really honest, he'd
have to say that he really hated that Snape. The way he walked around like he owned the place really
annoyed him.
He'd managed to turn his pin into a beetle twice in the lesson, and so had James. He couldn't help but
grin when he remembered what Professor McGonagoll had said when they had done it. "Such natural
talent, well done boys!" he grinned even wider, as praise from Professor McGonagoll was hard to
come boy.
He met up with James and they walked out of the classroom. As they moved away from the rest of
the class, he began to tell James about Malfoy's odd behaviour. The more he thought about it, the
more he was convinced that Malfoy was practicing a spell. He thought he had caught the words, but
he wasn't sure he had heard them right. Sirius looked at James. He wasn't sure that he had heard a
word that Siruis had been saying.
- What's up? asked Sirius
- I've got my detention tonight. McGonagoll told me to report to Mr Filch later.
- Filch, well good luck to you said Sirius
-That isn't the worst part, Snape is doing his detention also.
Sirius looked down to the floor and carried on walking.
Later, Sirius watched James slope slowly away from the common room and head towards Flich's
office. He'd been telling James that, as soon as Filch was out of sight, he should give that Snape a
good punch. James, however, hadn't thought it was funny.
When James had gone, Sirius set to work finding out what Malfoy had been up to.
The only clue Sirius had was one word of the spell, "Canalis", he looked in the spell book. There was
hundreds of spells that began with the word Canalis, and Malfoy could be trying to do any of them. It
was going to be a long night.
Sirius decided, as he settled down to read all of the spells, that he would have to watch Malfoy more
carefully from now on...
Melian:
Melian yawned long and hard as she ran into the library. Just to bump into Sirius. "hey my name is
Melian and I am also a gryffindor." she extended her hand.... "What are you looking for? she looked
into the book. "hey dark magic is my department, tell me and I look up" she grabbed a piece of cake
out of her sack an gave it to Sirius.
Her mind had raced from the conversation she had had with Severus. he was nice in an evil sort a way. But she couldn't tell them he truth, welll not the whole.... She was sent to this school afer her dad died thanks to Voldemort. Snape's father death helped Melian to get to Hogwart's and she owed him a lot. But she had also had met James and he was nice to her to.
Lily:
Lily was twirling a peice of red hair around her fingers while she was reading up on her charms
homework.She seemed to be rather good in this class.Sirius was nowhere to be found,James was
serving his detention,and Remus and Peter were playing a game of wizarding chess.Peter was loosing
terribly,incedently.Lily put her book down,to watch Remus and Peter play."It's not fair!"Peter
whined."Your peice lied to mine!""It's called strategy Peter."Remus replied calmly."Well it's still not
fair,"Peter grumbled."Do you two have any idea where Sirius went?"Lily asked interupting their
game.Remus shook his head,deep in concentration on his next move."Sorry,Lil."Peter,however, was
more then happy to take a break from the game to tell her what he knew.Two minutes later:"And
then James said that Sirius was going to find out what Malfoy was up to."Lily figured it had something
to do with the Slytherins.Boys.Just then a peculiar odor filled their nostrils as James walked
in."Ew,James.Whe do you smell like you spent the entire night in a bathroom?"Lily asked wrinkiling
her nose."James looked at her as if she had asked how the weather was and replied dryly."Because I
spent the entire night in a bathroom-with Snape-mind you!""Well,you're quite a sight."Remus said
taking his eyes off of the game board at that moment to look at a very wet James Potter.Peter
snickered."Well good night everyone.Just go wash up will you?The smell is awful."Lily asked picking
her book back up and excusing herself.James had been ready to snap back at Lily, when a better
idea crossed his mind."Aw, come on Lily,"he said smiling."I dont smell that bad do I?"Lily glanced
back just in time to see James tackling her.Lily shrieked."Get off me you smelly four eyed -""Lily
thats' no way to talk to one of your frineds!"James said in mock shock, ginning the entire time.Peter
was now laughing out loud.Remus shook his head,smiling.After only two days he was already getting
used to James and Lily's fighting.James held on to her carrying her around like a sack of
potatoes,despite Lily's many threats to curse,banish,and kill him."God,Lil,where did a lady like
yourself ever learn such colorful language?"James asked laughing after she had called him a particular
interesting assortment of words.Remus grinned,"I never knew you could do THAT with a
broomstick!"Lily 's head shot up from over James's shoulder to glare at Remus."James Potter,"she
said in a low controlled voice."Put me down this instant!""Sure,Lil,"James promptly put her down,he
had had his fun.Lily was now almost as wet as he was, and smelled just as bad."Im going to go clean
up now!"James said cheerfully,as if nothing had happened.Truth be told,this had just made James feel
a whole lot better.Remus watched James saunter off to their dorms.Shaking his head again,he turned
to an outraged Lily."Lil,you might want to go shower too."Lily was still fuming as she walked off to
her dorm to get cleaned off,muttering about James getting his.Peter now recovered from his laughing
fit,joined Remus back at their game."They're funny together,"Peter said wiping the tears from his
eyes.Remus looked up at Peter."They're deffinately fun to watch when riled up, that's for sure."Peter
continued."Peter..the game?""Hmmm..oh yeah."Peter made another foolish move,causing Remus to
claim another one of his pawns."Well lets be thankfull that they CAN get along most of the
time.""Here,here."Remus muttered right before he said,"Checkmate!"Peter simply frowned."How'd
that happen?"
Severus
Next morning happens to be Saturday, thank goodness, because the last night wasn't a big relax at all.I
was late for breakfast, as well as Lucius, yawning on the bed next to mine.Grabbe and Goyle were
piggishly chewing something and grouling, as usual, but it was a lose battle try to make them share
food.So i just jumped from my bed and sunk under it, to check my Alchemistry stores.I liked to
make exploding mixtures and poisonous potions almost as much as curses, and my father has a lot of
possibilities to see how gifted i am in this nice art.
-O'key-said i, closing my trunk.-It's enough to burst sewer in London, not only in this miserable
school.But were we supposed to brew it?It's smelling disgustly, Lucius, everyone will reckon it's
something creepy, better try to hide a rotten hippogrifs corpse in here.
-Why my father couldn't send me a normal curse?-grumbled Lucius, fighting with pile of blankets.
When he managed at last to pull on his robe, we descended to common room. Only a few older guys
were sitting here, part playing magical chess, part discussing last Quidditch match.
I dragged Lucius into remote corner to talk about mixture.And not only.I was still keen to hear more
about his father crazy plans, but now decided to use a different tactics.
-What this great plot supposed to be, eh?-sneered i.-Next move in your anti-Muggles company?
Gonna to wash all the Muggles from Hogwarts? If so, don't forget to add McGonagall to your list,
she's quite a hug.
-I said, Severus, i cannot tell you, but it's really significant, what we do.
-O'key, i think it's rubbish, but it's not my problem.
-No, it's not rubbish.
-Pile of old gibberish, it is!
-No, it's not!
-Oh yes it is!
-O'key, i'll tell you, you'll see!
"Ha-ha-thought i-Lets go, prat!"
-You heard ever about...about...-Lucius turned around, as if expected to see couple of spies, hiding
in heather-About Lord Voldemort-blurted he at last.
-Loads.All this fuss in Ministry about terrific evil wizard, rubbish, as i said.
-No,it's not rubbish, Severus.He's going to take a power, and he'll do it.Now, he need to get rid of
Dumbledor...
-Aha, wash him out, don't he?
-Let me say.I don't know how exactly, but i heard once dad said them need to connect Hogwarts
pipes with underground secret passageway...Don't look at me like that, i don't know where this
passage is!
-Don't bother to think, sonny, i'll find it out!
-You better not...
-Hey, guys-said a voice from behind.Lucius jumped, as if was sitting on hedgehog.I turned around to
see this Roderick Lestrange guy.He seemed to be confused, and looked at Lucius with suspicion.
-What i said, hey? I just heard something about secret passageway, don't think me eavsdropping or
something, but i know one behind the statue of Gregory the Smarmy, my brother showed it me last
year.
-And where it leads?-asked i
-In Hogsmead, magical village here, on the opposit shore of lake.
-O'key, but where precisely in Hogsmead? Where is exit, i mean-not on the main village square, i
suppose?
-Not, of course.In some old ruined building on the edge of village.It was something like fortress or
this sort of thing there, but ages ago, now it's just abandoned ruin.
-Nice,Roderick.Are you aware that you are going to show us this abandoned ruin this night?
-oKay, Severus, but it's absolutely nothing interesting there. I used it to sneak to the sweetshop, you
know...
-Lets see how boring this building is.
-But Severus-choked Lucius.
-Are you going with me?
-Of course i am, but...
-So, at 10 o'clock tonight.
