Happy Saturday everyone! (Or Sunday by now) Thanks so much to all reviewers! I loved to hear what you thought. I'm glad that I was able to clear up the endings for you. Okay, on with the story!
Disclaimer- I'm having a blonde moment and I can't think up anything clever to say here so I don't own Harry Potter or Clue. There it is. Cheesy, but what did you expect?
Chapter 4 The Secret of the Moonlight
Ali's POV
It's been a month since Hermione and Draco's wedding. We finally got back from Hill Valley Manor. It took a while, but they eventually forgave us, but they're making us go to Hill Valley on one of our honeymoon nights. I guess we deserve it.
Not much has changed around here. There's only two more weeks until Ron and I get married! I've been counting down for months! Wedding madness has begun again, and now it's a mad rush just to get ready for the big day. This is why we're taking yet another break. It's weird that we always play Clue when there's too much stress in our world. We just do.
So right now, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Draco were planning on sneaking into Hogwarts just to play. There's about a week left of school for Ginny and me. She's getting married right before Harry's birthday. Dumbledor probably knows that they're coming, but even if he does, he probably won't say anything. They were his favorite students after all. At this point, Ginny and I were waiting in the Room of Requirement. We didn't have to wait long. There was a pop, and four figures came out of the fireplace.
"You guys just couldn't go one after the other?" asked Ginny laughing at them all piled one on top of the other in a big heap.
"What's the fun of that? Now if you don't mind, you guys are killing me, so please GET OFF!" yelled Draco who was stuck on the bottom.
"Harry, you've just invaded my personal space." Said Ron has Harry elbowed him hard. Ron groaned and fell over.
"You liked it when I invaded your personal space though." I said giving Ron a fake pout. He smiled and raised an eyebrow at me while Hermione and Ginny gave us funny looks and Harry and Draco whistled.
"So are we going to play or just talk about Ron's personal space? C'mon, let's go!" said Hermione pulling Draco to his feet and taking the board from Ron. They set it up and Hermione rolled. It was time for another adventure at Hill Valley Manor.
Ginny's POV
Hill Valley looked different tonight. The sky was crystal clear, and there was not a cloud to be seen. The moon was full and the soft wind whistled thought the trees. Moonlight danced on the branches making them cast an eerie shadow across the grounds.
"I don't like the looks of this." I said clutching Mustard's arm tight. He wrapped his other arm around me as we walked up the steps and knocked. Mr. Body answered, but had a mysterious look on his face.
"Hello everyone. Please, come in." he said in a mystic voice that sounded a lot like Luna Lovegood. We all looked at one another before following him in. This time, he took us to the lounge. After we sat down, Mr. Body sat silent for a minute before getting up before us.
"I've got some news. Today, while I was flipping through some old books in the library, I came across this." Said Mr. Body holding up a wrinkled, folded piece of paper.
"What is it?" asked Mustard starring at the paper intently.
"Ah, well. It's a form of a treasure map, I daresay." He opened the paper and began to read. "Hear on these grounds lies a secret treasure that can only be retrieved in the moonlight, but beware! The treasure of Captain Amos Flynn was trusted to the forest to guard until he could return to it. It won't give it up without a fight."
We peered up at Mr. Body. It sounded like we had to find this treasure. Who was Captain Amos Flynn? How did he come across this treasure? Is this some stupid joke? I wonder…
"Who is Captain Amos? I'm confused." Said White skeptically.
"He was my great grandfather. He was the captain of a war ship in the War of 1812. Before that, he traveled. It was said that he went all around the world, collecting valuable objects, mostly jewels and gold. He was killed in a battle, but before that, he built this house and buried his treasure out in the yard somewhere on the other side of the cemetery that's on the grounds." Scarlet's face paled. Her worst fears were about graveyards. "He supposedly put out traps to stop everyone from stealing his treasure until he could come back to it. It hasn't been found because everyone's been too scared to go out and find it. They're worried about what the forest could do to them."
"So… what are we going to do?" asked Plum starring hard at the paper.
"Should we go after it? If it's worth that much, we could split it." Said Green looking from person to person.
"Yeah, but aren't you at least worried about the forest? We could be killed." I said. There were just a few more months until my own wedding. I want to at least marry Harry (but mess around with Ike, and that's good, isn't it? Opps… sorry. I'm off topic) before I die.
"I can assure you my dear, there is nothing in that forest that will kill you. I think it's a splendid idea. We must leave at once. If you would all be so kind as to freshen up while I tell Cookie that we will be leaving." Said Mr. Body as he walked out of the lounge. We sat there for a minute still looking at the door.
"You know what this means, right?" asked Plum with a smirk.
"Yup, get to the treasure, first, and it's yours without splitting it." Said Mustard looking at the floor.
"Let the games begin." Said Scarlet as she got up and left to go to her room.
Mystery POV
Seven people left Hill Valley Manor that night, but only one would make it to the treasure. Mr. Body led them all following one another, holding onto the person ahead. They walked along, looking around and keeping a keen eye out.
"Now remember, if anyone gets into trouble, just yell." Whispered Mr. Body. The forest on the east side of the grounds was deathly dark and very hard to see by. After a while, the six let go of one another, becoming a little braver by the minute. One thought of knocking out the others with the candlestick that they were holding, but they never got the chance. It had become dark and no one could tell when the person with the candlestick fell into a pit. It was a trap, set by Captain Amos and lay untouched until now.
"Hey! A little help here, please!" they tried to yell, but no one could hear them. It was no use.
Some time later, someone noticed that the person was missing. They turned back, wanting their spouse to be all right. After walking for a while, they heard a faint cry.
"Are you down there?" the second person asked.
"Yeah, I'm stuck. Can you get me out?" asked the person in the pit.
"Of course. Hang on." Said the person outside of the pit. They lowered their rope for the trapped one to climb, but instead, they were pulled down into the pit. The person landed on a blue hemline of a dress.
"Great. Now we'll never get out." Said the person looking up at the stars.
Meanwhile, the others wandered along. They noticed that two of them were missing, but they didn't dare go back. They began to get separated again. The one with the lead pipe decided to take out the easiest. They crept up behind where they thought was Mr. Body and struck the person. When they noticed that it wasn't Mr. Body, they left the lead pipe and took the revolver that was left there. The person took off in the opposite direction.
What that person didn't know was that someone was following. 'How dare he hit him! That person is going to pay!' they thought as an evil smile went across their lips. They followed the person for a little while longer and then came behind and struck with their wrench.
"You can keep your revolver. I kind of like this wrench." They said as they walked off.
Mr. Body and the other person were still walking together. Finally, one of them decided that it was time to go solo. They quickly turned around and pinned Mr. Body to a tree with their knife.
"What are you doing?" he asked shocked.
"Did you seriously think we'd ever split it? Ha! Yeah right!" said the person as they left Mr. Body there. "Oh yeah, and don't try anything because that knife could also go into your back as well." Threatened the person.
As the person with the wrench kept walking, they saw Mr. Body being pinned to the tree. As the other person left, they followed again finally stepping out when they weren't expecting it.
"Hey look! A graveyard!" they said pointing to the south side. The person spun around. It was the perfect opportunity. They raised their wrench and hit them on the head. That was it. Now it was just they and the treasure.
The person walked along, searching the forest left and right for some sign of a treasure. Suddenly, a glow caught their eye. They ran towards it. In a small clearing laid a chest. It was opened revealing a selection of rubies, gold and silver objects, and some fancy jewelry that would've coasted hundreds.
"And it's all mine!" said the thief with an evil laugh.
!Solution!
HP: That was fun.
D: Speak for yourself! You didn't get hit with a wrench.
R: Oh, and you're innocent! You hit me with a lead pipe!
D: It was an accident…
HM: You guys do know that people are reading this, right?
A: We should probably explain some things before we go yelling at each other.
G: Hurry, because I want to kill whoever put that hole in the ground.
R: Okay, so you might've gotten idea about who hit whom. It started with seven and ended with one. The first person to go was Ginny. She fell in a hole, which was set by the forest, not a person.
G: Stupid forest…
HP: Stupid rope!
R: hat's our next part. Harry ran off to look for Ginny and found her in the hole. When he tried to help, he fell in too and landed on a blue dress. Who wears blue? Peacock!
D: Wonder what they were doing down there…
HP & G: Shut up!!!
HM: Can we get back to the point?
A: Yeah, I want to hear what happens.
HP: But you already know!
A: So?!
R: Okay, so next came Draco. He hit me on the head thinking it was Mr. Body. He stole my revolver and left, but not unnoticed.
A: Yep, I saw him and decided at avenge Ron by hitting Draco with my wrench.
D: Yeah, and it hurt!
G: Poor Draco… yeah right…
R: Well, then Hermione pinned Mr. Body to a tree, which was a… different idea…
HM: It was the best I could do with a knife.
R: Once again, Ali saw it, and tricked Hermione into turning around so she could hit her. It worked. The last part was of Ali claiming the treasure.
D: Here's my favorite part.
HP: It was leprechaun's gold. It vanished after a little while. We laughed at Ali for this of course.
A: Hey!!! Well anyway, everyone got back to the manor soon enough and we never found the actual treasure.
R: I guess we'll have to find it on a different adventure to Hill Valley.
G: But not now. Let's go to bed. I'm tired! We'll be back next week though.
A: See you guys then!
A/N: That's all folks. I was watching Chicago while I wrote this so there's a lot of stuff from the movie, as you can tell… Yeah, it's spring break for me. I want to know how many times I can watch that movie. So far, it's 5 times in 3 days. Well, until tomorrow when I update Harry Potter and the Last Crusade. Oh, and thanks to all of those who reviewed my latest story, 1001 Arabian Nights, yet another DM/HG story. Bye bye for now!
Me,
