CHALMERS
None of these people belong to me. The next few chapters might take a while,as
I've just realized this story is longer than my novel as it stands right now.
At one point,my novel was 500 pages long,and then I reread it one day and realized
that it was just awful,so I started from scratch. Hope you guys had a fun blackout.
I sure did...
"Skiiin-URRRRR-"
"Superintendant Chalmers," Skinner exclaimed, dropping the screwdriver.
Chalmers swept it off the floor and slammed it down on the desk. He slammed
the door.
"Skinner, I've been rehearsing ways to phrase this question all down the
hallway...I'm still not sure how to ask..."
"Well,sir, maybe it's not an important question."
"You think so?"
"Oh, I can't imagine what could be bothering you."
"Skinner, what in the name of Phlefethom Dweezlemopter is going on here?"
"Who?"
"Who what?"
"Who's Phlefethom-"
"I made him UP," Chalmers said. "I'm so upset, I made...the man...up."
"Devious."
"My middle name."
"Your middle name is Devious?"
"Don't screw with me, Skinner." Chalmers took a breath. "I parked my car and there
was this...GIGANTIC man-"
"Oh, right, that's Hagrid."
"Hagrid?"
"Rubeus Hagrid. The groundskeeper?"
"You know him?"
"Well, you approved the exchange, sir, you should-"
"What exchange?"
"The exchange program. We sent Willy over to Hogwarts and-"
"Did...you know...Skinner was in the war?"
"Of course I know, I was there." he waved a hand in front of Chalmers's face.
"You sent Willy WHERE?"
"Ireland. Dick,don't you-"
"DON'T call me DICK."
The door opened.
"Boys," said Edna. "You better calm down, both of you. People will talk."
"Edna,make him talk sense," Chalmers said.
"What am I, a miracle worker?"
The door opened again.
The three of them stared at the man in the doorway.
"Ah," Snape said. "Good. This saves lots of running around. I'll be
with you in a moment." He stepped out of the room and closed the door.
There was an ominous CLICK.
Edna tried the door.
It was locked.
