The Witch Project

Chapter Two: Signs

(Severus on Screen)

" We are here in the forbidden forest, as stated before, it is about three in morning and I can't go to sleep." Snape spoke into the camera; crickets could be heard chirping in the background.

" Cuz he's been scared crapless!" Minerva said in the background. Snape glared at her direction.

" No I haven't!" His face twitches, "Anyways, there have been no signs or occurrences that would lead us to believe that there is a witch living here, which is why when morning comes around I will be going back to Hogwarts. Leaving these two dunder heads to the 'witch'." Snape stops talking to the camera, looking around making sure they were all asleep.

" I suppose before I leave I should get revenge for what she did to me, but how do you screw over an ugly cow."

" I heard that Severus, if you don't want to wake up like a roll of toilet paper, you'll shut your hole."

Severus took the threat seriously and turned off the camera.

Shzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Next Morning

(Minerva on screen)

" Yeah so it's bright and early, from the looks of it Severus wants to leave us, which in my opinion is quite alright! More food for us, it will be nice not having a frightened child with us all the time. Lets go bug him!"

Severus was busily packing his things into his backpack. The camera zooms in on him as Minerva throws a stick at him.

" Why the bloody hell did you do that!" Snape said rubbing his head.

" Is Mr. Grump face leaving us? Did it get too scary?" Minerva taunted him mercilessly. Snape got up and looked at the camera.

" No, I have work to do I don't have time to meddle with such a frivolous thing." Snape said defensively.

" Oh, right you know that during the summer holidays it can get pretty busy." Minerva said sarcastically. As she swiveled the camera around, checking the surroundings and all. " Its all right Severus I understand if you are scared." Minerva muttered underneath her breath as she focused in on a tree.

The branches on the tree had no leaves; its boughs were drying up and curling in on themselves. On closer inspection a rope and a gnarled form could be seen swinging back and forth from a branch. Minerva gave a loud gasp and she screamed. Dumbledore's voice echoed in the background.

" Minerva what is it what are you seeing?" Dumbledore said getting in front of the camera. Minerva hollered something inaudible, then all turned and looked at where she was pointing.

" Lets go and see what it is!" Dumbledore said quite enthusiastically, going through one of the bushes in the direction of the tree. Severus stood there looking at the camera stupefied. Minerva hesitantly walked in the bushes.

" Who's scared now." Snape's voice could be heard behind Minerva.

" Shut up Severus!" Minerva said nervously as she made her way through the roots and trees, which blocked her way. Severus was crying softly as he was hit by the branches the Minerva would bend forward to go through. After about five minutes of this they came upon a very dark area of the forest where a clearing was present and Dumbledore was standing net to the tree, aghast at what he saw.

Hanging from the tree was a small skeleton with a sign wrapped around its neck, which read:

Here hangs the body of Jonathon Crocket

Beware the witch lives here

" The body of Jonathon Crocket? You mean there really was a boy named Jonathon Crocket? I thought he was just some urban legend." Snape said slightly squeamish.

" Yes there was, poor little boy." Minerva said, " Dumbledore you know I honestly think we have enough proof of her existence let's go home."

" Yes for once I think Minerva has the right idea." Snape said with sincerity.

Dumbledore shook his head and sighed.

" I am disappointed in you two." He said as he looked up at the hanging skeleton, " This is not enough evidence."

" What do you mean!!! Isn't it the enough? A corpse and a sign!!!" Snape said pacing all over the place, " You know what I want to go home, give me the map and I'll find my way back." Snape said extending his hand.

" I don't have it with me," Dumbledore said as his eyes diverted back to the camera.

" Dumbledore, lets go back to camp okay?" Minerva said with the same desperation. Dumbledore nodded and then the camera turned off.

Shzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

(Back at camp)

There was a massive carnage of broken metal and cloth. It was what was all that was left of their camp.

" What the bloody hell happened?" Snape said as he picked up several pieces of debris off the ground.

" It's the crazy witch!" Minerva said as she picked up a small peace of parchment.

" See she left a message it says: leave now unless you want to be skinned alive and deep fried and be eaten like Jonathon Crocket!!!!"

" Dumbledore give me the bloody map now!" Snape said stomping his foot on the ground. Dumbledore acted as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Dumbledore, what did you do with the map?" Minerva said getting closer to Dumbledore. Albus remained silent.

" Albus Dumbledore what did you do with the map?" Minerva said her voice a lot thicker. Dumbledore said something inaudible.

" What was that?" Snape said angrily.

" I threw it into the lake…" Dumbledoer said nonchalantly.

" You did what!!!!!!!!" Snape yelled in unison with Minerva.

" You condemned us! We are going ot die! How could you!!! How could you!!" Minerva shouted.

" Don't worry we'll figure something out!" Dumbledore said quietly.

" Like what?! It wasn't enough to drag us all down here, but you have to get us killed as well." Snape hollered angrily, " Turn off that camera Minerva! Turn it off!!"

Instead of the camera shutting itself off, you could see it fall to the ground as Minerva went over to shout profanities at Dumbledore.

What will happen next?
