The Bradbury Legacy
Chapter 5:
"Wow!" Ayva said excitedly as she, Harry, Ron, and Ginny walked back to Gryffindor Tower, "I can't believe I made it! I mean, me! One of Gryffindor's new chasers!"
"Well, you deserved it! You were the best at dodging bludgers," Harry said.
"Um… thanks. But Ginny did way better than I did." She replied turning to Ginny. "I can tell who's going to be making most of the goals."
Ginny smiled her thanks as they came to the portrait of the Fat Lady, who by now had changed out of the toga of three years ago and was in her original clothing.
"Garfunkle." Harry said. The portrait swung open and the four walked inside.
Later that night Daylon and Malfoy entered the Room of Requirements, where Ayva already sat waiting for them.
"It's about time you two showed up. Your ten minutes late."
"Well we had to make sure you got here before us since Crabbe and Goyle are keeping watch." Daylon said.
"Okay," she responded drawing out the two syllables, "Is anyone going to tell me why, exactly, they're keeping watch?"
"Because," Draco answered walking to where an old, beaten cabinet stood, "I have to fix this and we don't want anyone seeing."
Ayva looked at him like he was crazy, "Your fixingsomething? Why are you fixing it?"
"Because in order to complete my mission I need to do this."
"Ohhhh, I get it. So, he wants you to fix a cabinet. That makes lots of sense." She said sarcastically.
"Don't be stupid Ayva, this isn't just any cabinet. And this is just one step to completing the mission." Daylon told her.
"So, what are the rest of the steps? Fixing a stool and mending a rug?"
"No. What use would the Dark Lord have of a stupid stool and rug? Draco's mission is the key to winning the war."
"Is anyone going to tell me what this mysterious 'key' mission with all of these 'steps'is all about?"
"Draco has to ---" Daylon started.
"Not tell you." Malfoy interrupted. "Now, what do you have for me on Potter?"
Ayva contemplated pursuing the subject of his mission further, but could tell he was already in a bad mood and just left it alone. For now.
"He's taking private lessons from Dumbledore on the Dark Lord's background." She answered suddenly seeming bored and examining her fingernails.
"How does that work? Only the Dark Lord knows what's happened in his past." Daylon said.
"They're using a penseive and various people's memories. To tell you the truth it's quite boring to listen to him talk about all of this."
"So is that all you have?" Malfoy asked still working.
"Yeah. Not much has happened."
"I'll send Crabbe and Goyle to get food so you can go without them seeing you." Malfoy said walking to the door.
They watched him open it and say something, then, closing the door, he returned. "You should stand outside the door now." He told Daylon.
"Whatever." Daylon said as he turned and exited the room.
"So was sending Daylon out for your protection or because your two buffoons are too stupid to find where the invisible door is?" Ayva asked
"Goodbye." He said ignoring her question and returning to his work.
She opened her mouth to say something back, but instead just walked out of the room.
