Authors Note: Ok so it's a pretty short chapter. Lol. Bare with me.
Chapter 4:
All three followed the boys until they got to the doors to go outside.
James proceeded to take out an enormous and beautifully made cloak. Adalia
knew what that was. An invisibility cloak. They weren't going to get away
that easy. She glanced back at Veronica and Calliope who looked very
bewildered. She turned back around to see James opening up the cloak
quickly. Before she lost her chance, Adalia held out her wand slightly,
pointing it at them and muttered a couple words. A yellow light shot out of
her wand and hit the cloak. All the boys jumped and turned around. Adalia
pulled the two girls and herself into a dark corner where they couldn't be
seen. The cloak was now glowing a pale yellow color only she would be the
only one who could see it.
After looking around for a couple more seconds, James through the cloak
around the four boys and they disappeared. Adalia heard muffled groan from
behind her. She silmply looked back and smirked.
"Don't worry I put a charm on them. I can see where they are going. Come
on." She whispered very softly and placed temporary concealing spells on
all three of them. She then turned back around and saw the end of the cloak
going out of the door to outside.
The girls waited a few minutes and then proceeded outside. The cloak was
moving swiftly across the field towards the whomping willow. They followed
at the same pace until the boys stopped abruptly. Adalia pulled the three
girls onto the ground. They lay there for a moment as the boys took off the
cloak and each began to change form. Adalia covered both of the girls mouth
to muffle the gasps. She took her hands off slowly as the rat ran under the
now thrashing willow and pressed a knot. The willow immediately stopped
thrashing and a small opening appeared next to the tree.
"Wait a second." Adalia whispered, "Why isn't Remus an animal?"
All four of them, three animals, and Remus, climbed quickly into the hole
and disappeared. The girls stood up quickly as the hole closed and the tree
started thrashing again.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Veronica said and smirked, "Lets get
going."
Adalia gulped. This was definitely turning out to look like something very
different than she had thought.
"Alright but lets get into animal form so if we get caught they wont know
its us. And so we can protect ourselves." Adalia said taking a deep breath.
Veronica and Calliope nodded and all three began their transformations.
Veronica was the Cheetah, and Calliope was the golden retriever. Veronica,
being the fastest, scrambled under the tree and pressed the knot. All three
climbed into and then slid down the opening that appeared and landed in a
medium sized tunnel. From inside a loud howl sounded through the tunnel
making it shake. The girls looked at each other. Adalia was not basically
scared out of her wits. They inched forward, taking in the smells which
were not good ones. It smells rather oddly. The walls had gunk on them
making Adalia cringe. She made her way around all of the puddles on the
bottom the best she could, her nose out and sniffing. When they reached the
end Adalia poked her head inside and looked around. No one looked to be in
the boarded up house. With Adalia leading, the three girls pawed in slowly
and looked around. Again they heard a loud howling except it sounded as
though it was now coming from the door to a room that was in front of them.
Adalia was shaking now as they neared the door. They shouldn't be here.
This wasn't right. But as always, her curiosity got the best of her and she
continued to creep forward.
Before they had a chance to get there, however, the door swung open. What
was standing there made Adalia want to scream. Worst of all, she knew who
it was.
