Chapter 19 Christmas Part II
"Phoebe," Paige motioned for her to follow.
"What's wrong Paige?" Phoebe asked as she walked over to her and amythest gown flowing behind her.
"I don't know. I sense somebody here…with much hatred…evil." Phoebe looked around for any sight of Hermione. When she saw her sitting down with the others her eyes scanned the crowd, then he eyes landed on somebody. "Hey look," Phoebe said nodding towards the boy watching Hermione and the gang with disgust. "Think we should check him out?"
Paige looked at him. "I guess, go get Piper." Phoebe left in search of Piper and Leo.

"So are you guys enjoying the ball?" Lavender asked when Hermione and Draco joined them.
"Absolutely." Hermione said smiling. The girls shared glances and burst out giggling, the boys on the other hand looked lost and confused.
"Uh…you guys I think the girls might want a drink." Harry suggested as he jumped up and headed for the punch table, the guys at his heels.
"Boys." Lavender mumbled.
"Can't live with them-" Parvati began
"Can't live without them." Ginny said. Hermione on the other hand was smiling. Ginny noticed. "Why so smiley Mione?"
"Well just to let you know, Draco and I are now a couple."
"Shut up!" Lavender said as the others squealed in happiness.
"Took you long enough."
"Really long."
"But the real question is…do he know about them?" the others turned serious waiting for her answer.

Leo and Piper were dancing to slow song, when Leo got the feeling that the Elders were calling him. "Uh oh."
"What?" Piper asked noticing his troubled face.
"I have to go." He whispered in her ear and Piper got slightly angry.
"No. No chance in hell that they are calling you now when you are here with me, this is ridiculous." Her arms slid off his neck.
Leo got the feeling again. "I really have to go, it seems really important."
"Fine." She slightly yelled.
Leo kissed her on her forehead. "I promise I'll make it up to you." He said before he turned to leave. Piper sighed but when she saw Phoebe's face she became alarmed.
"Piper!"
"What's wrong?"
"Paige said she sensed evil here…right now."
Piper grabbed her hand and looked for Dumbledore, but the only problem was he wasn't here. "Damn it where is he!?"
"Piper…the potion. Remember he told us."
"Damn it!!! Go get Paige and meet me at the Potions class!!!!" Piper shouted before she ran off with students looking at her funny, cause she was running in high heels and a dress.

When the guys were coming back with the drinks they noticed the three Professors running out of the Great Hall and in the hallway. "Where's the fire?" Ron asked as they disappeared.
"I dunno…but I think something's going on." Harry said reaching up and touching his scare again.
"Potter is that scar of your bothering you again?" Malfoy asked as they continued walking.
"Not that much…but I feel he's happy about something."
"Don't you need to tell the Professors, wouldn't hurt if they knew ya know." Blaise said joining the conversation.

As Snape and Dumbledore entered the classroom, Dumbledore locked it because he didn't want anyone to come in. "Severus when I drink this it is McGonagall's and yours responsibility to make sure the school is safe and still functioning normally. We cannot have students worried for fear that Voldermort did something to me, for the reason of my absence. Say that I am out on business. You also have three powerful witches to help you."
"Yes Headmaster. How long will it take for you to return?"
"A month the most, but I shall be back sooner. Do not fret. How long till midnight?"
"Forty five minutes."
"Enough time."
"If I may ask, what are you planning to do? You never have told any of us the second part of the plan."
"Ah, but I have to three very loyal witches. And they will tell the students that need to know in good time."
"Of course Headmaster."

Paige, Piper and Phoebe kept running looking for the statue, but only to notice that they were lost. "Okay where the hell are we?!" Paige asked annoyed.
"I dunno…I've never been this far back here before." Phoebe said clutching her sisters' hands.
"Can't you orb Paige.
Silence. "I'm trying but something is preventing me for doing that."
There was an eerie silence followed by silent footsteps. "Piper you here that!?"
"What are you talking about Phoebe, of coarse I hear it I'm not deaf!!!!"
"You guys look!!!" Paige exclaimed pointing to a figure wearing a cloak and a skull mask approaching them.
The person stopped a few feet before them. "My Master wishes to speak to you three."
"Like hell!!!" Piper exclaimed.
"He didn't exactly say how though. CRUICO!!!!" he shouted pointing his wand at one of the sisters. Paige fell to the floor screaming. Piper and Phoebe looked worriedly at her.
Piper stood up and faced the person with an evil glint it her eye. "You messed with the wrong person." She made a motion with her hands making the wall to the side of him explode and the rocks came crashing down on him. He fell to the ground not moving. Piper and Phoebe supported Paige as they made their way to the unmoving figure.
Piper bent down and removed their mask and they all gasped. "It can't be."
"No…"
"Tell me this is a dream…"
