Chapter 12

Gilderoy, Severus and Remus quickly made their way to the potions dungeon and set to work on preparing a manticore heart. Gilderoy was trying his best to puree it, humming his favorite song, "Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?...."

"Hey!" Gilderoy suddenly said, and Remus and Severus unplugged their ears. "You know what would be really great?"

"What?" Severus and Remus asked in unison. "If there was some kind of machine that could do this for me!" Gilderoy continued. "You know, something that would blend things for you, instead of you blending them."

"Like a blender?" Severus asked, massaging his temples. "No...." Gilderoy said. "I think maybe it should be called 'a blendy dealy.'" Severus sighed. "Are you almost done with that?"

Gilderoy didn't respond. "Gilderoy?" Remus said, looking up. The manticore heart was gone, and Gilderoy had something in his mouth. "Gilderoy...." Remus said, getting out of his seat.

"Um..." Gilderoy began. "What if the manticore heart flew up into my mouth and I accidentally chewed it?"

"How much of your brain did they remove when they replaced your memory?" Severus asked. Gilderoy didn't really understand what that meant, so he smiled and nodded. "Now what are we going to do?" Remus asked, slumping back into his chair. "That was the only heart."

"Well, we could get the heart manually." Said Severus. "From the manticore. But neither of us our stupid enough to go near a live manticore." "True." Remus replied.

Then, a thought occurred to both of them. Neither of them was stupid enough, but they had another man in their party. They both looked at Gilderoy, who was spinning around, chewing on the manticore heart, and singing 'Do you know the muffin man'.





Hi. I know this chapter's short, but that's as far as I can go before I can figure out what the hell a manticore is. Anyway, keep voting, but keep the chapters that come in mind. You might change your decision.
