"I
don't understand. J.J. is a pure-blood. Why would he take him?"
Chris asked.
"Just to tick you off," Kenzie said, pen
between her teeth.
"Really?"
"Yeah, really. He
did it to Kayla- by taking Mr. Weasley, and he's a pure-blood. He
likes to tick off the people who try to get in his way."
"Oh.
Okay," Chris said, turning back to his paper and sucking on his
sugar quill.
"That's all you have to say to that?"
"Yeah.
I don't want to think about
it."
"Oh,
J.J.! Not you too!" said Kayla as J.J. was thrown into the mix
of prisoners.
"Yeah. Me too," J.J. said. "Here,
look, I managed to sneak these." He pulled out of his pocket two
bags of Fizzing Whizbees. He started to open one.
"No. Save
them. They could help us later, after all, they are
explosives," Kayla said.
"You're right! Hey, I guess
candy does have other
purposes."
"Okay.
We're going to sneak in. I know the Department of Mysteries, don't
worry, my dad's the Minister. We'll go in this way, turn this way,
and leap right on 'em with our new spells," Kenzie
said.
"Okayyyy..." Chris said, looking rather
confused.
"Don't worry, I'll lead the way," Kenzie said
confidently.
"Whatever you say. I'm totally out of
it."
"Okay, you be that way."
