Forbidden Forest
Oliver and Harry got dressed as quickly as they can. It's 10:45 and they needed to hurry. They went down to the common room and met Percy.
"I have just received a message that Professor McGonagall will be coming here to talk to both of you. So you must not go anywhere until she comes." Percy told them.
"Sure." Harry said. Ten minutes later, Professor McGonagall went through the door.
"Wood! Potter!" she called out as they both ran to her. "We couldn't find any sign of Malfoy, Chang, or Alexandra."
"Professor, we might have found out where they are headed." Harry said. Then Oliver explained about the note and how they solved the little puzzle.
"Oh my. Boys this is a very dangerous situation. You know that you are forbidden to go there, and why must you insist on going?" she asked.
Oliver felt so stressed. "Professor, ever since I was little I took care of her. I can't just leave her now, and this is a really bad situation in which she could just die." He said. She nodded and turned to Harry.
"Well, Malfoy has been getting me in to trouble. And Cho, she has been stalking me since…forever. I can't let them get away with hurting Kris, and Alex is my friend too." Harry told her.
Professor McGonagall took a deep breath. "Ok then. Bring your wands; we're going to the Forbidden Forest. I'll get Hagrid to assist both of you, and maybe, Professor Dumbledore will accompany both of you too. Come on, let's move along now."
They all headed to the Entrance Hall. There they met the whole faculty including Snape. Professor McGonagall explained to the whole faculty about the whole situation. There were gasps ands even bigger shocks. Snape looked like he was about to break down. His favorite student has gone overboard. Yes he shows a lot of dislike to the Gryffindors, but to put the whole school on this situation is just too much. And also the fact of joining forces with a Ravenclaw, very disappointing.
"Very well then. I shall go with Oliver and Harry and Hagrid. All of you please remain prepared." Dumbledore declared. Suddenly everyone was in a commotion.
"But Albus, are you sure you would like to go?" said Professor Trelawney.
"Sibyl, I will be fine. Above all of us, it is I who should witness the true event itself am I right?" Dumbledore stated. Everyone agreed. "It's settled then. I shall go with Oliver, Harry, and Hagrid to the Forbidden Forest." He snapped his fingers and in a split second he was wearing a black cloak with moons on it.
They exited the Entrance Hall and to the exterior of the castle. They stopped by Hagrid's hut before they entered the forest. "Are yer' all ready now?" Oliver and Harry shook their heads. "Professor?"
"As always Hagrid." Dumbledore said as they went into the dark forest. Each of them took out their wands and said, "Lumos!" Their wands lighted up the darkness. Hagrid led the way into the deep forest. They heard sounds and the wind blew the leaves off the bushes. For the first ten minutes, they had no luck. Suddenly, they heard voices.
"So Father, what exactly are we going to do?" a familiar voice asked. It was Draco. They came to the scene, hiding behind a couple of shrubs and bushes. They saw Alex, tilting her head, as she was still asleep. She was tied to an enormous Cedar Tree. There was a group of wood set in front of her, and stood before her, were two unlighted candles, red and green. In the other end, Cho was sitting on a large log. Draco then sat beside her.
"So is he going to explain?" she asked. Draco nodded. Lucius was taking out a flask filled with a bluish-greenish liquid. He held it up to Draco and Cho's faces.
"This is what we use to light the fire. This is called the Quorent potion." Lucius said.
"But Father, can't we just light up the fire with magic?" Draco asked.
"We could, but that's what we don't want to just do. This potion will bring out the power of the Marinet. I recommend that both of you take of those uncomfortable robes, it's going to get really hot in here. Your robes can catch the fire once it's lighted." He told them. Draco and Cho put their robes aside, still carrying their wands.
"What are we going to do? We can't just intrude." Harry whispered.
"We should wait for a little while." Dumbledore said.
"Wait? But why?" Oliver asked. Harry wasn't sure either.
"Professor's right. We should wait 'till somethin' happens, like a huge explosion or something like that. Best if we don't come in if they still are talkin' 'bout ter plan." Hagrid whispered.
"Exactly. We must wait until they make their move." Dumbledore said very quietly.
"So, when are we going to start?" Cho asked.
"In a few minutes, I'm just double-checking on all the things we need. Draco, she's wearing the Marinet right?" he asked. Draco stood and went towards Alex.
"Of course." He replied. He looked at Alex. She was sleeping so quietly and the Marinet was shining in the moonlight. But he could hardly see her face. He felt her cheek as he drew closer to kiss her. Oliver was about to jump out of the bushes and beat the living crap out of Draco, but Hagrid stopped him.
"You stay put! They see us we're killed!" Hagrid whispered. Oliver didn't want to see Draco kissing his girlfriend. It was the worst thing that could happen.
"Draco! Stop fooling around with the girl!" his father scolded. Cho giggled.
"How are we supposed to wake her up?" Cho asked.
Everything was set. The candles were in place and the wood was all together. They had the Quorent ready to start a fire. "Okay everything is set." Lucius drew out his wand and muttered something, and Alex was half awake. She was talking, but she didn't know what was happening. "You two, gather around here." They all stood around the fire, facing Alex. Lucius first poured the potion on the wood. "On the count of three, we cast the fire charm at the wood. One-two-three! Incendio!"
The fire lit red-orange. It was a large fire. It almost went up to the trees.
"I think they are going to draw out the power!" Oliver whispered. "We have to go now!"
"Just wait a little bit." Dumbledore said.
"She's going to pass out!" Oliver said. Oliver was a little too louder than usual.
"Did you hear that? Someone's here." Cho said. They all kept quiet.
"I don't think I heard anything." Lucius said. "Let's get back to where we were."
They all sighed with relief. "Just wait a little bit, don't worry." Hagrid assured.
"What if I go to the back of the tree and untie Alex? They won't be able to see me. I can sneek quietly without someone turning a head." Harry suggested. Harry was a little skinny and was fast.
"Go ahead Harry, but be very careful. And watch your steps." Dumbledore told him. Harry nodded and crawled quietly to the back of the tree. He was right. He couldn't be seen. It was like no one noticed him. Suddenly, he cracked a twig on his knee.
"What was that?" Cho asked.
"I don't hear anything. It's probably the wind. It's midnight you know." Draco said. Harry stopped for a little while taking a breath. Then, Lucius took the red candle and lit it with the fire with the Quorent. Then Draco's back started to hurt.
