Chapter 6: Missing Spell Books

Phoenix Potter sighed as she knocked on what sadly used to be Dumbledore's Office door. She had next to her the two boys, Dennis Keystone and Clark Almar, and an empty bag of Sour Skittles in her right hand. The door opened, and a very solemn looking Headmistress McGonagall greeted the three.

"Ah, Professor Potter, Please, Come in. I have a job for you. And Of course you may tell me what's on your mind" She said, Smiling as she let the Professor and two students into the Office. Surprisingly, the office hadn't changed a bit, Even Fawkes the Phoenix was sitting on it's perch near the door.

"Professor McGonagall, Dennis Keystone and Clark Almar, Err, Blew p the Dungeons by adding Sour Skittles to a sleeping draught they were to make. Since this sounds like something out of my control, I leave them with you." She said, showing the Headmistress the empty candy bag. The old Headmistress nods and looks to a rather severe looking Madame Pince.

"I will call you when I need you again" She said to her, and Madame Pince stood up and walked out the door.

"You say you have babysat Mr. Keystone before?" Headmistress McGonagall asked slightly amused.

"Yes, I have" Phoenix replied automatically.

"Then I leave it up to you to punish these two. Now, Mr. Almar, Mr. Keystone, Go straight to Professor Potters office and wait for her there, I need to speak with her for a few minutes." McGonagall, at this, led the two boys to the door and summoned Madame Pince back into the room. The asked for the two Teachers to sit down in the empty chairs across the desk as she sat down herself, behind the desk.

"Six Spell books have been stolen from the Library" Madame Pince said shrilly to the young Professor Potter, Who looked slightly amused at this thought.
"Peeves?" She questioned, hoping she could finally get back at him when he found Harry and herself in the dungeons at four o' clock in the morning, then went to go tell Filch, Who caught them and gave them two days worth of Detention.

"No, We have already questioned him, and he swears he didn't take them" Professor McGonagall replied, Looking frustrated.

"Can you really trust Peeves' word?" Phoenix asked, sighing at the thought of Peeves NOT making trouble.

"We have to, anyway, I don't think Peeves would want these books that have gone missing." Professor McGonagall said sharply, taking out a small slip of paper and handing it to Phoenix, who took it and read it, Reading Madame Pince's handwriting as though it were her own. (Madame Pince's handwriting is said to be hard to read).

The astonished Professor looked up to her fellow teachers. She handed the list back, something nagging at the back of her head.

"I thought there were six books missing, but only five are listed?" She asked, the nagging voice at the back of her head satisfied that she asked the question.

"I know, But we don't know what the last book was. It had no title, No words, nothing. It was just an Empty book, no use, yet whenever I went to look for it, so I could destroy it in case it concealed dark magic, it disappeared from the spot it was in." Madame Pince said, slightly annoyed at the fact books are starting to disappear everywhere she goes.

"That's where you come in Phoenix, We need you to locate these books, so we can punish the children whom are stealing." The wizened old Headmistress said, petting Fawkes the Phoenix, who had just sat on her knee halfway in the middle of their conversation.

"I get right to it" Phoenix assured the two worried Professors, then stood up and walked out, still having to deal with the two boys whom caused the Sour Skittle incident to occur.
