Clyde seeing that I had gotten out enough of the potion flipped over the cauldron. The liquid spilled out but Bruno was nowhere to be seen. Ben smiled as he said," The disappearing potion worked. Bruno's disembodied voice sounded and said,"What the heck happened to me."
"You're invisible," I said grabbing my wand and looking at a puddle on the ground. The reason I was looking at it was there were two footprints parting the puddle.
"Invisible, why am I invisible. But now that I'm invisible I can beat you three down and you won't know what hit you."
Clyde pointed his wand at the part in the puddle and said," Petrificus Totalus."
Bruno's invisible body fell and with a splash he was down. He lay in the potion petrified. I still don't know how we did it but we hoisted his invisible body up and somehow got him into a broom closet. This was going to be harder work than I thought.
The great news had been announced Hogwarts was holding a gigantic feast for the school. It was in celebration of some guy named Harry Potter defeating the dark lord Voldemort. This was just what we needed. Our plan was to put a bit of our potion into each of the teachers drinks. Invisible teachers have no authority. Of course after they met our terms we would turn them free.
We needed however an accomplice to help us spike the teachers drinks. A Third year Hufflepuff was whom we had in mind. His name was Nicholas Sparrow and he had the guts he needed to pull it off. There were even rumors about him being an animagi. Idiotic rumor really.
Ben, Clyde, and I made our way down the hall to our first class of the day, Charms. Professor Flitwick was in a terrible mood when we walked in and it sort of surprised me. He's usually a happy little wizard. Well in Charms we learned a charm that brought life to inanimate objects. I actually stayed awake for that one thinking it might be useful someday. In our next class we ran into Nick. He was about 5' 4" and had dark brown hair.
"Nick, right?," Ben said " We have a proposition for you."
Ben further more explained our plan and made an offer. "If you help us we'll give you a life supply of pumpkin juice."
My family on my dad's side owned a pumpkin patch.
Nick took his wand out and formed a contract. "All that needs to happen is for you guy's to sign it then I'm all yours."
With my wand I signed my name and as fast as it appeared it dissipated in the air. Professor Weasly was once a student in Hogwarts and now taught us Defense against the Dark Arts. Some rumors even told of her being a student at the Black School in Spain. The lesson today was most interesting. It had to do about how pools of water could sometimes be dangerous. Like I would ever wander into pool that would fry my mind. After DATDA we went to our little hide out. I really don't know how exactly we came across it but we some how found the Mauders map, which showed a secret passage to the 'scary' Shrieking Shack. It was supposed to be haunted but it was about as haunted as an exorcist's room. We had rightly dubbed this room the Hide out. As we made our way across Hogwarts campus we came to the dead tree. Its limbs had once beaten the crap out of a car. Now it was nothing but a big gray house for old mold and fungus, not to mention the guard of the hide out. Nick stood with us and said," This is your wonderful hide out."
I went up to the tree and pushed a knot on it. Its roots parted from the ground and a hole opened leading to marble steps down to a stone passage. Nick trembled wide-eyed as Clyde and Ben jumped into the whole and started down the stairs. " No this is our wonderful hide out," I said with a snicker at Nick's expression. I jumped down followed shortly by Nick.
Note: I hope you like my story so far. I didn't
really know how the Whomping willow moved to open to the shrieking shack so if
I screwed up lets say it was so old that it moved differently thanks for
reading.
