Chapter 12: Hogsmede Village
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I do not own the village of Hogsmede. I am not rich enough to own a village.
A month passed. Mary was glad that there would be no more lessons on Vampires. One night Mary, Rose, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in the common room right after dinner and they saw a group of people crowding around a bulletin board.
"What's going on?" Mary asked not looking up from the essay she was writing.
"Probably a notice for Hogsmede," Ron guessed.
"Why don't you go check, Rose. You're the tallest." Mary said.
Rose groaned. "Fine," She put her quill down, "I can't concentrate anyway."
Rose walked over to the bulletin board. She looked over other people's heads and read the notice. Sure enough it said there was going to be a Hogsmede Village visit the Saturday before Halloween. Rose walked back over to her friends and sat back down in her chair.
"You were right Ron; there is a Hogsmede Village visit the Saturday before Halloween." Rose looked down at her parchment. "Why do teachers assign the most annoying things as homework?" Rose asked.
"It makes them happy. They feed on our misery." Mary explained, "Now can I work?" Rose conjured up a pillow and hit Mary. "Hey that's not fair!" Mary yelled and ran up to the girls' dormitory to get a few pillows, Rose followed her. Harry, Ron, and Hermione laughed.
"WAKE UP!" Mary yelled in Rose's ear then hit her with a pillow. Rose groaned.
"Why are you waking me up?" She asked.
"Uh… because I can," Mary replied and set her pillow back on her bed. Rose groaned again. "We have the Hogsmede village visit today."
"So?" Rose asked hiding herself under her covers.
"So we don't have to wear robes today. Thank goodness." Mary commented. She bent down and pulled her trunk out from under her bed.
"Where's Hermione?" Rose asked looking over at Hermione's empty bed.
"Already downstairs waiting for us," Mary replied and pulled out blue jeans, a black T-shirt, and some black boots from her trunk. "You might want to get dressed." Mary joked as Rose climbed sleepily out of bed. Rose hit Mary on the back of the head and got out army print pants and a white shirt from her own suitcase. Mary pulled her hair into a high ponytail and then Rose and Mary left for the Great Hall.
"Let's hope Ron didn't eat all the food." Rose joked.
"HEY!" A voice behind them made them turn.
"Oh sorry Ron," Rose blushed. The three walked down to the Great Hall and found Hermione and Harry there.
"Hey guys." Mary said sitting down. She grabbed an apple and bit into it. Rose yawned and grabbed some pancakes and began eating those.
After breakfast the five went to Hogsmede. Immediately they all went to Honeydukes where Mary spent nearly all her money.
"I'm a chocoholic." Mary explained, "Can't resist eating chocolate or candy." She stuck her tongue out at this for some reason. Then they went to Zonkos the joke shop.
After that they went to the post office. A bunch of owls came up to them.
"Aw, these small owls are so cute." Mary said pointing to the tiniest owl.
"What about mine and Rose's owls? They are about the same size." Ron said.
"Well these are cuter." Mary stated and stuck her tongue out, again showing them all her tongue piercing. Rose hit Mary playfully, and Mary hit her back. They left the post office and walked around Hogsmeade.
"Do you want to go to the Three Broomsticks?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, sure," Everyone else shrugged.
They arrived at the Three Broomsticks and took a table. After they ordered a few butterbeers, someone in a dark, hooded cloak walked into the pub. Mary, Rose, and Hermione were the only ones who noticed the hooded person come in. The dark, hooded person walked across to a door on the other side of pub. Mary, Rose, and Hermione exchanged glances.
"Ron, Harry, look." Hermione said pointing at the hooded person. Harry and Ron turned around to where Hermione was pointing. While no one was looking Mary turned invisible and Rose turned into a small owl and followed the hooded person into the room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stayed at the table so they wouldn't draw a crowd towards the door.
Rose flew in and perched on a high beam at the top of the room. She ruffled her feathers and sat quietly, listening for Mary to come in. Mary walked in and stood near where Rose was. She stood quietly listening to see who the hooded person was and why he was here. The hooded person looked around and finally spotted a small, golden dog. The dog was sitting patiently and moving its tail back and forth very slowly. The hooded person muttered something under his breath that only the dog could hear. Then the dog transformed into a human, Mary nearly turned visible again by the person she saw. Mary knew the person he had come to her foster parents house over the summer asking them to join Voldemort.
"Damien," The hooded person said, his voice dry and raspy. The hooded person bowed. "It's nice to see you again."
"Yes, I imagine so." Damien said, flatly. He was cloaked as well. "I've called you here by orders from the Dark Lord." Damien paused when the hooded figure didn't speak he continued."You've heard of the American girls at Hogwarts, yes?"
"Of course." The hooded person said. "They've been accepted because of their special powers."
"Exactly." Damien said as he raised his voice slightly. "Their powers exceed the ones of regular witches and wizards. Their powers aside from Harry Potter are the only things that stand in the Dark Lords way." Mary gasped forgetting she was supposed to keep quiet. Rose nearly fell.
"Who's there!" The hooded person yelled. Mary clapped a hand over her mouth and tried to stop her heart from thumping so loudly. The hooded person shrugged. "So do you have a plan on how we will capture them?" Rose flew out of the room and Mary silently exited. They had heard enough and they had to tell Hermione, Ron, and Harry.
Once they were out of the room, they found Hermione, Ron, and Harry still at the table. Rose flew over onto Harry's shoulder and nipped his ear.
"Ow!" Harry said. Rose flew off of his shoulder and onto the ground. Rose quickly turned back to normal and started panting heavily.
"Sorry, Harry." Rose managed to get out. "I did it to get your attention." Rose and Mary leaned on a chair to catch their breath.
"What's wrong, guys?" Ron said. Rose and Mary looked at each other and sat down, finally having caught their breath.
"There, there were death eaters." Mary said.
"They were talking about us." Rose continued.
"They said besides Harry we were the only people who stood in the way of the Dark Lord." Mary said.
"We must talk to Dumbeldore." Hermione said. Normally, Ron and Harry would have disagreed but today it seemed like the right thing to do. The five ran back towards Hogwarts. They ran to Dumbeldore's office but realized they didn't have the password. Mary moved impatiently from one foot to the next as Harry tried passwords.
"Chocolate Frogs. Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. Cockroach Clusters. Lollipops. Snickers." The door opened. "I was just kidding about that one." Harry said.
"Who cares," Rose said as they all ran inside. They knocked on the door.
"Hello?" A voice asked from behind them. They all turned around to see Dumbeldore. "What are you five doing here instead of in Hogsmeade village enjoying yourselves?"
"Well, we were in the Three Broomsticks and we found some death eaters." Rose said in an obvious voice.
"Come on into my office." He said calmly and they all walked in. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Rose sat while Mary remained standing. "Please sit down Miss Black."
"No thank you Professor. I prefer to stand." Mary stated.
Dumbeldore nodded then turned to face everyone. "Now, tell me what happened while you were in Hogsmeade village?"
"Well, we were sitting in the Three Broomsticks when a mysterious, hooded person walked in." Hermione started. "Mary turned invisible and Rose turned into an owl to follow them into the room." Dumbeldore looked at Rose and Mary who were next to each other
"Miss Lamya and Miss Black, I thought I told you two, you weren't supposed to use your powers unless directed by a teacher." Rose blushed and looked down.
"Sorry, Professor." Rose and Mary said quietly.
"It's alright," Dumbeldore assured. "I'm getting off the subject. Now, I believe it goes to Miss Lamya and Miss Black's point of view."
"I'll explain." Mary said. With that, Mary explained about the Dark Lord and what Damien said about their powers. After she was done, Dumbeldore spoke.
"I should have told you when you were enrolled into Hogwarts." Dumbeldore paused, "You both have very strong powers. In the hands of the dark they, can help Voldemort to kill Harry." Mary and Rose winced. "And you all know with Harry dead Voldemort will be able to kill all the muggleborns, half-bloods, and muggles." Now everyone winced at the thought.
"I never knew my powers were that strong." Mary muttered.
"Ah yes Miss Black. They are quite strong. Now I suggest you run along and enjoy the rest of the day. But I must warn you take extra precaution." With that everyone left the room. They were silent thinking about their newly found information. Harry kept eyeing Rose and Mary as if they were going to suddenly attack him. Mary clicked her tongue piercing against her teeth. When she saw Harry eyeing her she screamed,
"We're not about to kill you, you know!" and with that, Mary started running really fast in front of the others.
"I don't think she's taking this well." Rose muttered.
