"So, what brings you to merry old England?" Adam asked as they walked down
the corridor to his classroom.
Rocky stopped in front of a painting of a man with a bluish face. "I will never forgive you for that little _incident_ in grade six."
Adam laughed. "Come on Rock, it got you more attention from girls than you had ever had before."
"You making my face blue does not bring the sort of attention I want, thank you very much," Rocky said huffily. He grew serious. "I'll tell you once we." He motioned to the doorway.
Harry whispered to Ron, "They're inside." He could vaguely hear the message being repeated to Hermione as he strained to see if the coast was clear. He snuck forwards, feeling Ron and Hermione keep together as well as they could under the Invisibility Cloak. They stopped just before the doorway. Harry and Ron tried to listen as well as they could, while Hermione kept repeating a slight Memory Charm to make anyone who was going to turn down the corridor walk past them without noticing either themselves or the people in the room. Low mutters came out of the room, although they could be heard clearly from where Harry sat.
"So why come all the way here?" Adam asked Rocky. "I know it can't be the weather."
Rocky nervously turned the gold ring on his hand nervously. Adam noticed, but ignored the fact Rocky was nervous enough to start playing with his wedding ring. _He gets up and paces, we're in deep s**t,_ Adam thought.
"You know about the Countdown, right?" he asked.
Adam nodded. "I was there, you twit."
"You know how Zordon." Rocky stared at the floor, but Adam nodded, getting the message. Rocky didn't like to talk in-depth about what ended the war. "Well, the wave only destroyed the people who were attacking."
Adam sat heavily on a student's chair. "So some are still out there? No one been attacked, though? Everyone's okay, right?" he asked.
Rocky looked up, looking somewhere around Adam's shoulder. "Yeah, everyone's fine.but."
"But what?" Adam asked, sensing something was really wrong.
Rocky met his eyes. "There's someone after you." After a deep breath, he let out the bombshell.
"Scorpina's in Europe," he said quietly.
