Author's note: Sorry this chapter has taken so long to get up, I've been
forced on a torturous family vacation minus the net. Pity me.
Filch's office
"Let's go snoop," Buffy said gleefully, getting a special sparkle in her eyes.
"Ooh," Willow squealed. "You don't mean..."
"Yes! Invisibility cloak!"
"Oh, I'll get it," Harry said, heading out of the common room to his dorm and returning with the shiny cloak.
"But... we have to go to transfiguration," Hermione protested.
"She's right," Ron said. "They'll miss us if we're not in class, so we'll get in trouble either way."
"We'll be careful," Buffy said, taking the invisibility cloak. "You go to class. C'mon, Will." Buffy pulled Willow under the cloak and grabbed the map. They headed out. Buffy wanted to stop by Filch's office and see if she could find out anything about that mystery woman.
They headed down the hall. Willow kept giggling and causing people to look their way, but Buffy finally got her to shut up. They arrived outside the door to hear a conversation going on.
"The watchers have found us out, master..." It was Filch. "Shouldn't we stop now? It's too dangerous..."
"Silence! I will take care of them. As for the slayer..."
"Madame.... Please.... If I'm caught then I'll have nothing!"
"Worthless worm! I knew I should've gotten a better slave. You're useless. Now go! The dark lord will attack the Potter boy soon, and you need to get there to see it!" Footsteps headed for the door. Willow and Buffy jumped back and got ready for a view of the mystery woman.
But no one was there. Filch walked out looking suspicious, followed by that mangy cat of his, Mrs. Norris. Buffy slipped inside and searched.
"There's no one here! And the map isn't showing any trap doors. Something's up." This was going to be harder then expected.
