Chapter 17: ~Club Noir~
Chloe and Dana snuck down the hall. Quietly as possible, they tiptoed passes the library. They went up to fights of stairs, into a small-unused tower. Dana took out a small key and unlocked the door.
The room was dark and cool as they walked in. The hairs on Chloe's neck stood on end. "Could you turn on the lights?" Dana asked locking the door behind her.
"Lights," Chloe summoned a few candles to light, but a few stayed unlit, "Damn it!"
"Shit!" Dana stared amazed at the candle, "Why didn't it light?"
"Stupid Uncle!" Chloe went straight up to the blood red candle and shot a flame on the wick, "He makes me take this medicine. It helps me 'control' my powers."
"More like disengaging, your powers."
"Yes," Chloe sighed and sat down on a black sofa, "I mean I don't burst into flames anymore, but I can't even start a fire or light a candle. The worst thing is I GET COLD!"
"Really? That's awful, so how's it been?"
"Rough, but I made friends. I made enemies, and I had a little fun!" Chloe said slyly.
"I can see it in his eyes," Dana smiled, "You want a coke or something?"
"Gnaw," Chloe wavered her off, "So, why did you come?"
"The put me in house arrest! I was locked day and night into our part of the Hospital Wing! I wasn't even aloud to have our window OPEN!" Dana sat next to Chloe on the velvet black sofa.
"No," Chloe gasped, "Did Médor and Guy fight it?"
"They did their best," Dana hung her head, "But, you know, they couldn't fight the man."
"That's the one thing my mom could do." Chloe smiled, "As soon as I leave they, I can't believe it. Well, it's great here; I'm aloud to walk with the students! You wouldn't in the day but at night you can! How are your classes going to work?"
"Well," Dana smiled shyly, "Um.I can walk around in the dungeons."
"Yes, that's true, but we only have potions down there."
"You only have potions down there," Dana smiled and Chloe looked at her strangely, "Haven't you ever heard of a private tutor?"
"Who?"
"Some Professor that teaches potion, Snipe or Snape?"
"MY UNCLE?!"
"Yes, that's it," Dana smiled evilly, "I'm surprised he didn't tell you."
"We aren't in the best of communication right at the moment. But, you still can't come to Hogsmeade." Chloe said putting her feet over Dana's lap and lying her head down on the sofa's arm. "Where'd you get the cool furnishings?"
Chloe looked around at the ultra cool room. There was the sofa they were sitting on, and a matching velvet cozy chair to the left. In between the velvet duo was a black wiry end table with a candle, still not lit, on it. Behind the sofa was a fireplace, with no roaring fire and on the mantel was a black CD player. There was one door to each side of the mantel. There was a kitchenette a few feet away, separated with an island with black cushioned stools and steel bars. In the kitchen were a stainless steel refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and imitation black marble counters. The floor in the kitchenette was a white tile, but the tile was mostly covered with a shaggy black rug.
"Like the color scheme?" Dana asked proudly.
"It's totally you! It's our own Club Noir!" Chloe smiled at Dana, "It's good to have you here."
"Yes, it's good to be here," Dana yawned, "We'll have some fun."
"Doing what?" Chloe yawned shutting her eyes.
"Turning Hogwarts upside down," Dana started to lie down on her side of the couch. "Fun," Chloe yawn widely, "fun!" They gentle fell into a deep peaceful sleep.
