Chapter 32: The Plan.
The next morning everything was planned. Ginny and Hermione were under Harry's invisibility cloak and standing behind Dumbledore's chair in the Great Hall. Connor and Luna sat together at the table. Luna sat with her back pack on her lap like she had something very important in it, and Draco was sitting with his back exactly to Connor and where everything would happen. Harry didn't enter the Great Hall yet.
" Connor checked his watch ok, three minutes to go." He whispered to Luna. Everything had to be done at the exact second it was suppose to work or it would look extremely obvious. " Three, two, go." Connor whispered to Luna. Luna dropped got up and walked out of the Great Hall accidently dropping her bag on the way. A very small box opened inside letting out some sort of clear mist, Luna picked up her things and pointed to Harry and Angel, Harry walked up first and it turned into a Dementor. Everyone in the hall Froze as Harry walked the the middle of the Great Hall shaking as the Dementor followed him. All of a sudden Angel ran in and the Dementor started to suck the air. All of the sudden some orb started to come out of Angels mouth and into the mouth of the Dementor. Angel collapsed and Harry started to run out of the room, the Dementor was following him followed by Lupin, and Snape. Angel got up and pulled Connor out of his seat.
" You must be Connor, it's great to see you. I don't think we've been properly introduced, I'm Angelus. You know what it's a pity I'm going to have to kill you now. Your father isn't going to be to happy with me. Oh well he's gone anyways." Angelus turned Connors head to the side exposing his neck and then bared his fangs.
" You will not harm that child Angelus!" Dumbledore stood up.
" Oh yeah and who says so you? You're no threat to me old man." Angelus said to Dumbledore lowering his mouth to Connors neck.
" Oh my gosh! Professor is that really Angelus?" Draco shouted from the Gryffindor table.
" I'm afraid he's right Malfoy, and if you don't sit down and shut up you'll be next!" Angelus put his teeth into Connors neck and started to eat.
" Angelus I'm afraid I warned you." Before Dumbledore could stop him Connor was on the floor and Angelus fled. " Everyone is to report back to your dormitories, Head of houses are to take their students back and change the password to all common room enterances!" Dumbledore stood up all the teachers moved quickly to get the students to their rooms. Once everyone left Dumbledore went up to Connor. " Hagrid please take him to Madam Pomfrey she already has the potion to restore Mr. Angel here to normal."
" Yes sir, how does she kn-" Hagrid was cut off.
" Later Hagrid right now it is of extreme importance that we get him to the hospital wing." Dumbledore shut the doors to the Great Hall and started to laugh. " Ok you five you can come out from under that cloak, and please get Spike from the back room."
" Is Connor going to be ok?" Ginny looked paler than she ever looked.
" Yes, Angel made sure he had enough blood in him that he wouldn't die. He's very good at it from what I hear. What I would like to know is how did you two know what a soul looked like? That spell work and effect were very well done. Not many people can pull off making things look like they come out of people's mouths and into someone elses."
" Well Spike was telling us from behind the door and we just concentrated on that descriptions. Do you think we were able to convince everyone? I mean luckily we were able to get Draco from the side door when Harry made a distraction so no one noticed Draco leave the group walking to their common room. I can't believe we pulled that off." Hermione was still shaking a bit there were parts that she could tell that Angel and Connor planned with out telling anyone.
" Well, I guess you would all like to check on Mr. Angel, and Connor. Both are in the Hospital wing. You might need to take more than one trip Harry under that cloak to get everyone there. Some of the teachers don't know that this was just for show." Dumbledore then turned around and walked out of the Great Hall and towards a group of teacher waiting for Dumbledore's orders.
" How's Connor doing?" Harry asked Angel when they walked through the Hospital wing doors.
"He's doing good, he' conscious but he's going to have to stay here for a while or it will look suspicous." Angel lead them to Connor's bed.
" Great performance all of you, It was very entertaining." Lorne said once he saw them all sitting there talking.
" It wasn't a performance." Dawn said looking at Lorne. She remembered that Dumbledore said that not many teachers knew about it being fake.
" Yeah right, and Angelus talks to everyone like they're old friends. You should know by know Dawn that I know more than you think I do. So how's Connor doing? He took one for the team and ouch it looked like a painful on by the bite marks on his neck." Lorne looked at the gauze taped to Connor's neck.
" Actually Madam Pomfrey was able to heal it and we used some Hollywood special effect to make it look like a scar. I am going to have to wear the bandage for a couple days since Madam Pomfrey says she doesn't know how to completly heal Vampire bites. She had to call a nurse from St. Mungos to do it." Connor said laying back in bed.
" Well, you are like your father and heal pretty fast so I say that you'd probably be able to take the bandages off tomorrow." Lorne then turned to go see someone who just entered the Hospital wing and Angel went to hide behind a different curtain just in case they had come to check on Connor, the other's hid under the invisibility cloak.
" So what are we going to do now?" Connor asked once the guest had left.
" Well, I'm going to go to Zoe and see if she really is evil like some of you think she is, and if she is I'm going to go undercover and see if they kidnapped the boy. I'm going to try and get him out and if Zoe is evil tell the others and figure out what we're going to do.Well I better be off I have to go find Zoe." Angel left the Hospital Wing.
" We better be going to before anyone notices we're gone. Sorry about what happened Connor." Ginny said hugging Connor.
" It's ok it was my idea. We couldn't bring Angelus back and not make him look like his old self, people would get suspicious especially after that essay." Connor said after taking some sort of potion that Madam Pomfrey gave him. Connor then fell instantly into a dreamless sleep. He still had to look unconcious.
