Chapter 2 The Lonoxx
Filch was walking down the long corridors of the castle holding a strange object in his hand. Close at hand was his cat Mrs. Norris. Filch was hoping the day would soon bring him to the Shadow Wizard. He had the Lonoxx in his hand hoping it would set of the signal soon. It was small in size and a deep emerald colour. Nobody knew how this Lonoxx worked. As far as anybody else could tell there was no history to it. It seemed to just appear out of nowhere.
The Trio and Ginny stood still as a statue waiting for Filch to pass. It was extremely difficult to hide 3 15 year olds and a 14-year behind one cloak. "What is Filch holding?" whispered Harry so quietly that Ron who was next to him barely heard it. "I have no idea. I never seen anything like that." He whispered back just as quietly. They stood there praying that they would go away very quickly but something happened.
Filch stopped for a second. He didn't know why, but he had the strange urge to stop. Filch was getting ready to walk on when the unthinkable happened. Soon the Lonoxx started shaking a little and then a silver glow started to surround it and then slowly spread out till it surround the 4 students and the caretaker and his pet. "Who's there? Show yourself!" demanded Filch with a mixture of anger and hope in his voice. They could her Mrs. Norris meowing like she caught the biggest mouse in the world. It was very strange. Like she was trying to laugh and cry at the same time. But cats can't do that right? Filch was turning around in circles by now trying to figure out who is there when he stopped facing the four teenagers. When the four teens tried to move they found they couldn't they were stuck in place. So they pulled the cloak off. Filch wasn't surprised in the least when Harry Potters head emerged. 'Go figure.' He thought to himself. However he did get a bigger shock when two red heads also cam into sight along with brown one. Now to figure out what one set off the Lonoxx. This shouldn't be hard he thought to himself. He hoped it wasn't Harry Potter. The boy's ego was big enough and after finding the kwikspell letter. Well to be honest he just didn't like the boy. "All of you follow me!" he said after a while, the Lonoxx still emitting glow. They found they could move now as along as the glow wasn't surrounding them. Filch turned and started walking down the halls again with the four teens trailing behind trying to not laugh at his cat who looked like she was a rabbit. Hopping along so fast that soon she was out of sight.
"WORMTAIL!" shouted a voice so evil sounding you couldn't find words to describe it. Soon a short fat beady-eyed man in tattered robes came running from the hallway to his left. "Y-ye-yes Ma-master?" he was trembling, praying that he wasn't getting punished. "I have a job for you. If you fail you will be severely punished. Do you understand me?"
"Yes Master. I understand." He answered his eyes never leaving the floor beneath his feet. "There is something I want you to do at Hogwarts. You remember that caretaker back in your days? Well I am sure then you also remember that annoying cat that always followed him around. I want you to dispose of this cat immendently. Do whatever you please to the caretaker. Just make sure that cat is dead by tomorrow night or else. This portkey." He said holding a robe up "will transport you the gates of Hogwarts. Do not fail me again wormtail!" and he tossed the fork to Wormtail. As soon as he touched it, he was being pulled into the air and landed with a hard thud on the ground. A loud crack also added to the sounds of the night. (a/n this isn't going to be easy for Wormy) it took all of his control not to scream into the night. He got up and realized that he broke his arm.
I'm mean aren't I? I wasn't actually going to do a second chapter to this. It was going to be a one chapter kinda thing. But I couldn't help myself. So there should be a next chapter out soon.
