A week had passed since Ivy had been in Voldemort's office. Ivy would no longer even glare in Voldemorts direction and found it better to ignore his existence. Chores seemed somewhat more strenuous that week, also. Especially in the boys' lavatory, Where the Slytherin boys had made use of their spare time by clogging up the toilets and planting rapid-growing fungus in the sinks. The fact that they had to clean all this by hand, somehow, managed to make the Griffindors even more miserable. Ivy and Hermione had spent as much of their time as possible translating the spell book Ivy found.
So far, they had learned of only 3 demons. The first was Impalo (or, Impale-O). Impalo was a black, wrinkly elf-like demon with a mouthful of long, sharp teeth and claws, big, bright-green snake eyes, and a violent fetish for sharp objects. He was a Level I Slayer Demon and for 5 gold coins per kill, would act as a hit man for the one who summoned him. Impalo killed his victims by impaling them with a series of knives. When the victim is within an inch of death, Impalo finishes them off by hacking off their head and keeping it as a trophy.
The 2nd was Pilfer, a Level I Thieving Demon. Pilfer looked like a small hairless monkey. He had beady, black eyes, jagged teeth, and symbols branded all over his body, which were said to be the source of his power and allowed him to become invisible, disapparate, and travel through walls. He too, required a price for his services and could only steal small objects.
The 3rd and final demon they had learned of was Irvent, a Level I Vengeance Demon and could only perform petty reprisals such as, cutting off someone's hair in their sleep or slashing up their clothing. Irvent, like Impalo, was elf-like, but with purple skin, bat-like ears, arms twice as long as his body, and long, slender fingers and nails. He used his arms to be able to climb and reach high places and his nails, which were made of steel, were used as a defense mechanism.
"These are all horrible," Hermione stated in revulsion after reading about Irvent. She and Ivy were plopped down on her (Ivy's) bed going over what they had learned from the book. "Who on earth made-up such creatures." Ivy laughed at the look on Hermione's face. "You think those three were bad, just wait 'til we get further on in the book. I'll bet they're even more gruesome." Hermione shuddered at the thought of there being demons worse than Impalo and Pilfer.
"I think we should just skip to the back of the book," Ivy opted.
"We can't do that. What if we miss something important?" Ivy rolled her eyes. "This is gonna take forever."
Suddenly, the curtains to Ivy's bed were thrown open. Ariana, a seventh-year, who barely ever spoke, stood on the other side. "It's time for us to go," she announced soberly. "Aw, fuck," Ivy muttered. "I hate cleaning up after those Slytherin shit-heads." "I know, but we have no choice," Hermione said sympathetically. "She right," Ari said morosely, "We have no choice. Now hurry up so we don't get in trouble." Ari then pulled the curtains back shut and left. "I guess we better listen to her," Ivy groaned. "Yeah," Hermione agreed. "Come on, let's go."
Ivy shut the book and shoved it under her pillows. She and Hermione then got up and, along with the other Griffindor girls, left to go do more cleaning. "Life sucks," Ivy muttered bitterly as they exited the room.
A/N: I know this chapter doesn't tell much, but I thought I'd be cool to share with you what Ivy's new book contained. So R&R and tell me what you think of the monsters!
