George looked around and made a face. He knew they didn't have long to find
what they needed so they would have to work fast. He walked over to the
door of the supply closet and tried the knob. Of course it was locked;
Snape didn't seem the type to accidentally leave the door ajar.
"Watch the map, I am going to have to pick the lock either magically or the muggle way." George said to Fred as he tossed the map to him.
Fred caught the map and gave George a thumbs up sign after he glanced down at the locations of Filch and Snape who were on the other side of the school chasing Peeves still.
George set to work on the lock. It didn't take him long at all to open it and he slipped inside and looked around. They needed some gilly weed and some powdered newt eyes for their special plan. He found those easily enough as everything was labeled and then he grabbed a few jars of random substances that he and Fred may be able to use at some later time.
George left the closet and locked it and looked over at Fred who was inspecting something on a shelf. The map lay on Snape's desk.
"Fred! You're supposed to be watching the map!" George hissed.
"Good point George," Fred said as he picked up the map, "Did you get the stuff we needed?" he continued and then looked down at the map.
"Yes I got the stuff we need and some extras, what's the best way to get out of here without getting caught?" George asked quietly.
"Well Snape and Filch are almost here so the front door isn't any good.but a passage just appeared in Snape's supply closet." Fred said as he hurried over and unlocked the supply door closet.
The twins slipped into the closet locking it behind them and then used lumos so that they could find the right passage. They froze suddenly and looked towards the door. They could hear the key in the lock. Fred bolted into a small and insanely dark corner and George followed.
They both held their breaths as the door opened and Snape poked his head in and looked around. His eye twitched and a bead of sweat rolled down his pointy nose. He seemed dissatisfied but he turned and walked out anyway slamming the door closed. Fred and George heard the click of the lock and they came out of their hiding spot.
They started to look for the opening of the passage and with the help of the map and a very faint lumos spell they discovered that the passage was in the floor. Since the opening was in the ground and it took a lot of effort to open it. Once they had finally done sothey climbed down into the musty darkness.
"DAMN THAT POLTERGEIST!" They heard Filch yell from the office and they pulled the opening closed and set of down the passage.
"Well that was easy George said." With his standard grin.
"Hey George, do you see what I see?" Fred asked suddenly.
"That depends, I see you and well we are twins, but just remember I am George. Everyone else gets us confused if you start doing it too there's no hope left." George replied with a laugh.
"No look at this place, it's covered with slime. I bet we could use some to develop some sort of prank swamp of some sort. Let's take a sample to study." Fred said as he pulled out a vial he had stolen from Snape's office.
"Sounds like fun, but what would we do with a swamp?" George asked while he scraped slime into the vial.
"I bet we will think of something sometime, and when we think of it we will be prepared to use it." Fred said grinning as he put the stopper in the vial and put it in his pocket.
"At any rate we have found a passage that leads right into Snape's supply office." George said with a grin.
The two red haired twins slipped out of the passage way. It had led them to the Ravenclaw corridor. However it was relatively easy to find their way back to Gryffindor from there. Once they were back in the common room they sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
Step two of their plan could now take place.
