Chapter 10 Vacation
----------
On the last meeting of that school year they were waiting for Rytho. When he finally came he had a satisfied smile and an evil glint in his eyes.
"My Soultakers, i had this wonderful dream. I know now where we could practice without to be disturbed"
"Where?" "You will find out when we start school next year Blaise. I need to sort out a few things about that room. Now listen to me. You are not to tell your parents about our little club. If they would find out about us that would be troublesome. Do not owl me about anything regarding our plan, for I have a feeling that our Head of House will check our mail. Now let's go to the Feast."
The Soultakers slowly walking towards the feast who was just started. Sitting down at their favourite spot at the table. The rest of the House didn't bother them anymore about their behaviour. The Great Hall who was decorated with green and silver. The Slytherins had once again won the House cup. Not far behind them was Gryffindor but thanks to the Soultakers.(who had earned a lot of points because they were the best in every class but they were pranking the rest of the students of their class so that failed up)
The next morning they got on the train and found a compartment for their own. Locking it with some heavy silencing and locking charms they began on their way home. The two girls who were heavily chatting about the newest trends and that they needed a fashion upgrade. Malfoy and Zabini were playing a few games of wizard chess and Malfoy had lost every game so far. And Rytho was busy chatting with Celiel about what she had found out about Snape and telling how marvellous the Forbidden Forest was. The trip home ended too soon according to Rytho. Gathering their stuff, putting everything away that was magical and checking if they didn't forget anything. With that done they got of the train and grapped a trolley and got of the station and entered the Muggle world.
Everyone went their own way and soon Rytho was walking alone towards his uncle that was standing next to his car. "Hurry up boy i haven't got all day you know. Now get in that car." Stepping into the car he saw that Dudley was sitting as far away as possible and his Aunt was sending him nervous glares. The way home was a silent one. Parking the car they all got out and Rytho had to carry all of his stuff alone into the house. Deciding that he wasn't in the mood to argue with his uncle he started to unpack his things. Sometimes talking to himself about anything and nothing and insulting his only remaining relatives.
"Get down and prepare dinner" "Yes Aunt Petunia, i am coming" 'i don't know if i will survive this vacation with those relatives of mine. The stupid old fool didn't allow me to go to a 'friend' because all of their parents were Deatheaters. Like they can harm me. He only allowed me to spend the last two days of the vacation in the Leaky Cauldron'
"Boy! Get down, i am starving."
'Somebody save me'
--27 August, 3 days before school starts--
"Uncle Vernon, you take me tomorrow to London"
"Are you commanding me?"
"Yes and if you don't listen i will let Celiel kill you. Do i make myself clear?" 'Good thing he doesn't know that Celiel is still at Hogwarts'
"Yes…perfectly clear"
--28 August, 2 days before school starts--
"Thanks uncle Vernon for bringing me to London. See you next year." 'He didn't even say goodbye. Now let's get myself a room'
"Good morning, can I get a room for two days please?"
"Sure little fellow. I am Tom, if you need anything just say it. Here is your room. Have a nice day."
"Thanks Tom." 'It's not bad, but it could be better. Now were did I put that list. Ah here it is. First thing I need is money. Gringotts here I come.'
Leaving his room and heading downstairs into the pub. Leaving it trough the back into the alley. Counting the stones then took his wand and hit the right stone. The brick wall once again began to move and the hole was there. Looking into Diagon Alley he saw again the same shops as the last time. Only this time it was filled with students instead of adults. Heading straight for The Wizarding Bank he failed to notice the enormous crowd in front of the bookstore. Getting his money and enjoying the ride that was over to soon according to him. And before he knew he was standing outside again with his pockets full of money.
"Now let's see what I need" and at the same time taking his list out of his pocket. 'What is this? An whole set of books from one and the same author. Better get those books now' walking slowly towards the bookstore and wondering who the hell made this list. Stopping in front of the store and taking in what he saw: giant pictures of a man with a sickening smile, huge notes that some man was sighing books and the worst: a huge crowd of people. Slipping in and avoiding as many people as possible. When it was his turn to get the required books his scar decided to tickle. So like any other human he rubbed it and accidentally showing his scar to the man opposite of him. He realized his mistake to late. The man eyes where as big as saucers when he saw the scar but that was quickly replaced with a sickening smile and a weird expression on his face. 'I am not going to like this'
"Harry Potter? You are Harry Potter."
"Yes I am" signing in defeat and hoping that this was soon over. "It is a honour meeting you" shaking his hands with Rytho and clapping him on the back. Then before he knew it the man had pulled Rytho next to him and put one arm around his shoulder. "Everyone may I have your attention. Yes thank you. This is a special moment for me. Why? Because Harry Potter is here today to get my books." Some reporters from the Daily Prophet and other magazines were busy taking pictures of the two of them and making notes if the man said. Rytho not interested at all just stood there and making a mental list how the kill this man. "And so I Gildory Lockheart give our young hero my set for free. Here you go my boy" "Thank you sir" "Your welcome and I believe I will see you in a couple of days." "What do you mean?" 'Please don't let it be true…not that…please.' "You don't know. It wouldn't hurt to tell you and every one else. Everyone I have something very important to say. This summer I was given the option of becoming Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. And I accepted that offer." Giving the public again a smile and sat back behind his desk continuing to sign his books.
'This can't be true. What happened to Quirrel? I got to get out of here.' Getting out of store as silent as possible and heading back to his room. Once back in the Leaky Cauldron he said hi to Tom and went to his room. Putting his new books away, not wanting to know what that man had written in it. Lying on his bed and pondered about his plan. His eyelids slowly closing and he was soon of to dreamland.
Imperio
Crucio
Avada Kedavra
A flash of blinding green light
Rytho eyes snapped open and looked at the person who dared to disrupt his sleep. "Tom, is something wrong?" "Nothing is wrong but I became worried when you didn't came down for dinner." "That is really kind of you. You wouldn't happen to have dinner with you?" "No, but I can fix you something." "Thanks Tom, I will be down in a minute."
'What was that dream? Those three words. Inperio, Crucio and Avada Kedavra, what do those words mean. Damm you Voldemort for not telling what those three words mean. Sometimes I have that feeling that you can control those kind of dreams. No use in dwelling on it. Better get don fur supper before Tom is going to drag me downstairs.'
The next day Rytho went back to Diagon Alley to get a few more stuff. But the things he really wanted were in the bookstore and in the bookstore was Lockheart. He really wanted to avoid him at any cost. And going into Knockturn Alley didn't sound appealing. Who knows what he was going to meet there. What if there was a teacher walking around. Nope, far to dangerous. He needed to keep up his good reputation.
Before he knew it was September the first. Checking to see if he didn't forget anything. Saying goodbye to Tom. And off he was towards Kings Cross station. Thanking the ministry official and getting himself a trolley. There he was again. He still could remember last year's event on the train. Slowly walking trough the gate that separates the two platforms and he was back in the world were he belonged.
