New Neighbor Chapter 12

"It's perfect." I exclaimed to a beaming Draco. It was a few days since our talk in Eryk's rooms, and the mark was finally finished. I clapped my partner on the shoulder and he grinned broadly. "I love it."

"Good!" He joked. "Now for the spells." I nodded. "Nothing that will be painful when you summon followers, but it can't be anything easily ignored."

"How about a jolt of hot, followed by a chilling sensation?" I suggested. Draco nodded agreeably and wrote it down. "We can work on that later though. What are we going to do about Dumbledore? He's sticking his nose where it doesn't belong." Draco pushed the parchment away and we relaxed on Eryk's plush couch.

"I say we hex him." I frowned. "Kidding..." I shook me head to get rid of the image of Dumbledore doing the Macarena in his underwear. "I don't know what we can do, it is his school."

"I know. We'll need a place to practice magic though, without him noticing." Draco cocked an eyebrow. "I don't plan on gaining members and leaving them to fend for themselves like Voldie."

"Okay. We can ask Severus later if he knows of anywhere." I nodded. I stretched as Eryk entered the room, shaking water off of his coat.

"Blasted Peeves...Hello Harry, Draco." I chuckled as he plopped down beside me. "Finish that mark yet?"

"Just about. Here, take a look." Draco passed it over to Eryk for inspection. He nodded approvingly and handed it back to Draco.

"Nice." Draco grinned. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Eryk.

"We need your opinion on who we should approach. You are a teacher and you know many of the students." Eryk nodded thoughtfully. "Take this week to watch them and find out more about them, then write possible names on a piece of parchment."

"All right."

"We should go see Snape then." Eryk cocked an eyebrow. "To see if he knows of any place we can practice magic without being detected by Dumbledore."

"Good thinking."

~~*~~

"What do you want whelps?" Severus snapped as Draco and I appeared in the doorway to his office.

"Just wondered if you know where we can practice magic without being detected by Dumbledore." Draco drawled. Severus cocked an eyebrow. "We're starting another side to this war. One that has qualities and goals of the three other sides."

"I see." I leaned against the wall. "But no, I'm sorry. I do not know of a room not warded." I sighed and turned to stalk out of the room. I heard Draco apologize behind me before running to catch up.

"Well, that puts a damper on our plan." Draco commented. I ignored him, thinking deeply of other possibilities. "We could always make a portkey take us somewhere?"

"No, that would be too taxing. Besides, if our group grows it would be hard to cover up masses of people suddenly disappearing." Draco hummed. "But.... we could use the Chamber."

"What chamber?" I grinned.

"The Chamber of Secrets!"
