A/n- I've wanted to write this chapter since chapter 9. Hehe, Sir Ben is going to kill me tomorrow when school starts again.

I have seen the second LOTR movie twice already. I love Gollum! He's so...schizophrenic?

Gollum- No one's complained so far. Oh yeah, 2,735 words, and done.

LaRosa- (Zach) If a story ends when a guy walks of a cliff, is that a cliffhanger?

Julia- I'm not a liar, see? Hehe, I'd challenge you to a duel for that comment if I could, you know. See you tomarrow.

Natalie- That review you gave was bloody similar to your last one, and the one before that, and that, and that.. Hehe, its ok. Tomarrow you can review in prep.



Refuge***********



Jessica ran out of the science room to her locker. She found Ben and Emily standing next to it. "Where were you?" Emily asked as Jessica quickly stuffed her binder into her backpack.

"In the science room," replied Jessica, smiling mischievously.

Ben noticed the way she was acting. "Why?" After getting no answer, he added, "You were talking to Mr. Scots, weren't you?" Jessica nodded.

Emily looked eagerly at Jessica. "Well, what did you talk about?"

Jessica looked up. "We were right." The others looked perplexed.

"Right?" Ben spoke up. "About what?"

"Why they're here."

Emily's eyes went wide. "Tell us everything."

Mr. Scot's words echoed in Jessica's mind. 'Might I suggest you only tell those who you are completely sure are trustworthy?' She knew she could trust them. "Well," she said, looking around, "Okay. Emily, go see if anyone's coming first."

Emily dashed down the hall and peered around to corner. She came back with a strange look on her face. "McGonnagal and Ms. Hannah, I mean, Ms. Manor and Hooch, I mean Ms. Manor and Ms. Hannah and their Hogwarts counterparts are coming around the corner!"

Jessica looked around frantically for a place to hide. She looked down the hall and sighed. She dragged her two friends down the hall, to the only refuge in sight.





Ben stood frozen on the threshold of the door. "I'm not going in there."

Jessica sighed and she and Emily pushed him inside. Emily checked to make sure no one was in there.

Ben dared a glance around. "What are- never mind! I don't want to know!" he said, covering his eyes.

Suddenly they heard a familiar voice from the hall. "Why are you guys in here? No one uses this place." Jessica looked out into the hall and pulled an astonished Kitty in. "What in the world are you doing in here? Don't you- Ah!" Kitty screamed when she saw Ben. Pointing at him with a shaking finger, she shouted, "What is HE doing in a girl's bathroom?!"

A/N- Next chapter, more in the girls bathroom. And will we find out what Mr. Scots asked Jessica to do? Maybe, maybe not. I promise nothing. Us Slytherins are too cunning.
