Haha, Liz, this is like your big chapter. Hehe.

Mmm. I have nothing else to say. Nada. Nothing. So I shall begin now…

Now…

RIGHT NOW…

Come on brain, you can turn on any time now… oh God… Liz or Christian must have borrowed my brain cell for the day. Crap. Well this chapter will just be some mindless babbling then, I suppose. Fun stuff. F-U-N-N stuff.

Like that.

Ok I really am starting now…

Unless the disclaimer interrupts me. So no, copyright Nazis, I do not own Harry Potter. I do, however, own a large piece of felt and some Chuck Taylors. So there! spits on them I WIN!

So they'd decided that now would be a good time to practice using their new powers.

It was fun.

Christian had discovered that she could create and hold in her palm a small flame, and was having a wonderful time setting Peter on fire, extinguishing the flames, then setting him on fire again. Well, she was, anyway, until…

Flashback to five minutes ago…

"This is awesome!" Christian shouted gleefully as she set Peter on fire once more. Foosh.

Peter got a disgruntled look on his face.

Christian set him on fire again. Foosh. "I love this!" she exclaimed. James snickered at the sight of Peter's hair on fire.

"Now he's flaming both physically and metaphorically," Alli whispered to Liz and Mary. They all snickered as well.

Christian held out her hand once more, prepared to set Peter on fire again. She raised her hand — created a flame — prepared to light him — and —

He let one rip.

PHTBPHTBPHTBPHTBPHTBPHTB!

And as everyone knows, when flame meets fuel — well, the effects can be devastating.

FOOOOOOOOSH!

"AAAAAAAAH!" Christian screamed. Her hair was singed around the front, and if she'd had a face, it would have been covered in soot.

Peter sort of half-grinned, but his delighted expression was quickly replaced by terror at the sight of Christian. Even though she had no face with which to express emotions, it was easy to see that she was seething.

Peter saw this.

Peter ran away.

Peter tripped.

Peter stumbled to his feet.

Peter continued running away.

Everyone else laughed at Christian and Peter.

Christian was just about to start screaming at everyone when Mary hit her in the face with a small blast of water and laughed hysterically.

End flashback

So basically, everyone was chasing each other around, trying to injure each other with their powers. Well, except Aidan and Peter, of course. Peter was busy hiding, and apparently so was Aidan, as he was nowhere to be seen.

Liz noticed this, and realized that there was absolutely no way that Aidan's disappearance could be in any way a good thing.

Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She swiveled around. Naturally, there was no one there — or so it seemed at first.

Aidan.

Evidently, he had figured out how to become invisible.

"What do you —" she began, but she was cut off by Aidan's hand over her mouth.

"Quiet," he hissed.

"What?" Although she was curious as to what Aidan wanted, Liz was not surprised that he was acting strange. Aidan generally was mysterious and kind of sullen, anyway.

"I said quiet," he repeated. "Please. I must speak with you… alone."

Liz was having serious reservations about this, but she let the invisible hand on her arm lead her to the chamber pot room anyway. No one noticed when, seemingly alone, she slipped inside. Besides, going to the bathroom wasn't really attention-grabbing anyway…

While she waited for Aidan to close the door, Liz looked around at her surroundings. She had been in the chamber pot room before, of course, but she had not noticed how extravagant some of the chamber pots were. The room was basically made of stone, with wooden shelves harboring many different chamber pots. The pots ranged in design everywhere from mud-brown clay to golden with many precious stones.

What a waste of money, Liz thought to herself, disgusted. Although, she realized, the disgusted feeling may have been caused by the fact that she was standing in a nine by seven-foot room filled with chamber pots

Then, wandering towards the back of the room where some of the more fancy chamber pots lay, she noticed something behind a shelf. Cut into the stone wall, not deep, was a tiny etching. It was a circle, and it held nine circles inside of it, arranged around the edge of the larger circle. The smaller circles each had some kind of a picture or something in it. However, as the stone was crumbling slightly, Liz could not make out what the pictures might be. There was also a small written message. It read, "Totus mos intereo, vel vir." Liz could not read it, of course. She did, however, recognize it vaguely as Latin.

"Ahem."

Liz turned around, immediately forgetting about what she had just seen. Aidan had just appeared right in front of her. He gave her a strange look that she could not decipher.

"What?" she repeated. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I… I think that we should leave," Aidan said slowly, choosing his words carefully. "I feel that it is no longer safe to remain."

"Leave?" Liz asked. "You want to leave? Where would we go? Why isn't it safe? What isn't safe?"

"I just… feel that it is not so," Aidan continued, not looking at her.

"And who do you mean by 'we'?" Liz asked. "And what do you mean, you don't feel that it is—"

"Everyone," Aidan interrupted, answering the 'who' question. "Although I certainly wouldn't mind leaving behind that Sirius. I don't like him."

Liz raised an eyebrow.

"And I just — have an extremely apprehensive feeling about — about all of this."

Liz raised her other eyebrow.

"All of what?"

"All of — everything!" Aidan said loudly, throwing his hands up in the air. "Have none of you noticed? This is far too suspicious a situation! Elizabeth, we traveled through a completely random — portal— to Merlin knows where —"

"You were uninvited, I might add —"

"— We were locked in the grimiest dungeon I have ever been in —"

"You were in a dungeon before this?"

He glared at her, but continued nevertheless. "Then suddenly, this — this Kzalor — takes us to a beautiful room with all the amenities, locks us in it, tells us we're special, and leaves!"

"Well, since you obviously know everything, do tell: what are we going to do about it?" Liz shouted, eyes blazing. Who did he think he was to tell her — tell her what she should do —

"I DON'T KNOW!" Aidan shouted. "ALL I KNOW IS THAT WE ARE IN DANGER AND YOU, ELIZABETH, ARE NOT BEING CAUTIOUS!"

"WELL AREN'T YOU THE SMART ONE!" Liz shouted back. "ALWAYS KNOW WHAT TO DO! WHO, AIDAN, WHO MADE YOU THE LEADER?"

"I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING!" Aidan roared.

"WELL DON'T YOU JUST KNOW EVERYTHING!" Liz bellowed back; unnoticed by either of them, the door had been pushed open by Sirius and all six of the other students were standing by the door, staring at the two sparring students.

"MORE THAN YOU DO, AT ANY RATE!"

"WELL I GUESS YOU SHOULD JUST GO ON BY YOURSELF, THEN, SINCE YOU'RE SO NATURALLY GIFTED!"

"MAYBE I WILL!" Aidan retorted. "SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW EVERYTHING, OH ALL-SEEING ELIZ —"

"GO ON, THEN!" Liz gave him the evil death stare and stomped out of the room.

Aidan stared after her for a minute, then followed, shaking his head. Liz, who had gone to where Christian, Alli and Mary were standing together, purposefully turned away from him.

"You know," Aidan said from across the room, "When we all die, you can't say I didn't warn you."

Liz ignored him.

About … eh, two hours later, everyone was asleep.

OK, no one was really asleep.

Naturally, Alli, Christian, Liz, and Mary were talking quietly, sitting cross-legged in a circle on Alli's bed. Sirius and James were quietly thinking of new ways to torture Aidan. Peter was just trying to fall asleep, obviously unsuccessfully. Remus was lying in his bed, staring at the ceiling, pretending to be asleep. After what Aidan had said, he was beginning to see that side of the situation, but he wasn't going to say anything about it… not just yet. And Aidan… Aidan was wondering to himself why everyone hated him.

Meanwhile, the girls (well, all except Peter) were talking about Aidan's outburst from before. It was, as Alli put so well, "Completely ridiculous!"

"What a douchbag," Mary said idly.

"He's such a git!" Christian said. "I mean, come on. 'I just don't … feeeeeeeel … that it is right,'" she said with an exaggerated, mocking tone. The other girls laughed.

"I know," Liz said. "Stupid — git —"

"Yeah, we know," Alli said consolingly.

"But that does bring up an interesting question," Christian said. "Why are we here, and how long until we leave?"

"And why," Mary added. "I want to know why we're here …"

"Yeah, honestly," Alli added. "Why we can't leave…"

"I think we should talk to Bythaes again," Christian suggested, and the others all agreed.

"Yeah, me — " Mary began, but then she stopped in midsentence and cocked her head to one side.

The other three girls stared at her.

"Mary," Liz asked with a sigh, "Did you get distracted by something shiny again?"

"No," Mary answered. "Shhh."

"Why? What's the — " Christian began, but she was interrupted by both Alli and Liz, who now heard the sound as well.

It was a slight scuffling, and it seemed to be coming from right outside the door that led to the hallway.

"That can't be good," Liz whispered.

There was also a very, very slight clanking, as if of metal against metal veeeerry softly.

By that time, Sirius, James, Remus and Aidan had all heard it as well.

"What's that?" Sirius asked, and was immediately greeted with eight "Shhh's!"

Then, all of a sudden, it got very, very quiet.

The students waited with baited breath. No one moved. No one breathed.

And the door burst open.

Light spilled from the hallway as tens, dozens (was it possible that hundreds?) of men with spears ran into the room.

"EEEE!" That was, of course, Peter.

In the resulting chaos, Liz was only able to reach blindly for a familiar person. She managed to latch onto Mary, who said, "This'll be fun!"

Liz sort of half-rolled her eyes, half-chuckled. Leave it to the Merv to turn a near-death situation into "This'll be fun!" But there was no time for speculation at that moment. Large men with pointy objects were currently invading the room. She said to Mary, "Tell the others to — tell them to go to the chamber pot room thing! Go!" Mary hurried off without a word and Liz went in the opposite direction so that she could do the same thing.

She managed to find only Alli, Peter, James, and Remus. Hoping that Mary had found Christian and Sirius, Liz told them each to go to the room, then hurried off herself. She forced her way through the growing, chaotic mass of soldiers and finally arrived at her destination. However, before Liz could open the door, a soldier took hold of her. She kicked him where the sun don't shine and hurriedly let herself into the room.

Alli, Peter, James and Remus were waiting there, as she had told them. A few moments later, the door opened again. Everyone tensed, but it was only Christian, Sirius and Mary.

There was a moment of silence, and then Christian burst out, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"

"I don't know," Remus said, breathing heavily. "Why did they — why — I'm confused!"

An intense banging on the door started up at that moment.

"They know we're in here!" Sirius shouted. "What are we gonna do?"

"We'll have to fight them!" Remus said. "There's nothing else we can do! Besides, maybe with our — you know — our powers…"

"Are you kidding?" James asked, for once the voice of reason. "All any of us can do so far is set Wormtail on fire, and that's not exactly gonna help against these narks, is it?"

The thumping persisted. It was steadily growing more concentrated.

"This is all my fault," Liz said, sliding down the wall.

"WHAT?" Christian, Alli and Mar all exclaimed at the same time.

"Get up, you big loser!" Christian said with a smile, helping her up.

"No, it was me, I didn't listen to Aidan," Liz said.

"Oh please, that git?" Alli asked, rolling her eyes.

"Yes, that git," said a disembodied voice right behind her.

"AAAAAH!" she screamed. Aidan had just appeared out of nowhere.

No one had even realized he was gone. Liz snickered at this.

"It's okay, Alli, I think he's a git too," said Sirius.

Aidan turned around to face Sirius very slowly. "Really," he said approaching him.

Sirius looked him straight in the eye and said, "Yes."

"We DON'T HAVE TIME TO ARGUE ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW!" Mary bellowed. Indeed, the banging against the door was almost deafening now.

Aidan looked at Sirius and shoved him hard against the wall.

"Hey, you —" Sirius began as he got off the wall.

Even as Sirius began to threaten Aidan, something stirred in Liz's memory. That spot on the wall —

"That's IT!"

She ran over to the wall and located the insignia that she had seen before.

"I found this before, guys, maybe it's important, what is it?"

Sirius and Aidan shot once last dirty look towards each other, then followed the rest of the group, who were now gathered around Liz and the wall.

"Hmm," Remus said. "'Totus mos intereo, vel vir.' Latin, if I'm not mistaken."

"Hey, Alli, can you read that?" Remus asked.

She nodded. "Probably." After looking at it for a minute, she said carefully, "All must die… even the heroes."

"That's all it says?" James asked. "Well that's motivational."

The banging got louder, and a few spear points were now showing through the door.

"I think it's a door," Remus said vaguely. "Look —" And indeed, the mortar between the bricks seemed to be cracked in certain places, although it wasn't very noticeable. It did look like a door, though a small one. It was rectangular and about four feet tall.

"We have to get out of here!" Peter cried. "Look at the door!" More and more spear points were showing, and the door was beginning to crumble.

"How do we open it?" James asked.

"Um… move the blocks?"

This of course did not work, and the attempt was abandoned after only about a minute and a half.

"A password! I bet there's a password!"

"Let's all say the Latin thing!"

"In Latin or English?"

"Uh… Latin!"

"Are you kidding? I don't know Latin!"

"English, then! Everyone, on three! One… two… three…"

Nine voices said simultaneously, "All must die, even the heroes."

Nothing happened. Well, for the first ten seconds, anyway. Then suddenly the block of stone began to just — move out of the wall. It almost crushed Sirius, who jumped out at the last second. There was a great grinding sound, and the stone stopped moving. It revealed a hole, basically. The students could not see what it was, because it was completely pitch black.

The door was crumbling away in great quantities now.

"Come one guys, we have to decide!" Alli said. The wall or — or them!" and she pointed towards the door. Lots of shouting cam from behind it.

"I choose the wall," said Sirius, and he ran into the hole without a second thought.

"Well that was intelligent!" said Christian sarcastically.

"I'm going too," said James. He ran into the hole, ducking to fit.

"We've got to stick together," Remus said.

"Remus! Stop being a guidance counselor!"

He grinned. "Sorry. All right, I'm going." He took off and ran into the hole, following James.

Christian looked around at the other girls. "Let's go." And with that all four ran in.

Aidan followed silently.

Peter gulped and followed. I think I've just peed myself, he thought as he ran in.

Inside the hole, some light was coming from the chamber pot room, but the students could see nothing outside of where the light fell.

"Everyone here?" Sirius asked. Eight people responded, "Yes."

"Excellent, then let's find out where we —"

But at that moment, the stone began to move again. However, this time it was moving back into the wall. This meant that the students would be entombed in this — this hole in the wall, whatever it was.

"No! No! That's bad!" Sirius shouted, running over to the stone. By the time he got there, though, the opening was much too narrow for a person to fir though.

The last thing Sirius saw was the door that led from their bedroom to the chamber pot room finally break open. As many men with pointy objects ran into the chamber pot room, the stone slid back into place in the wall. The students were trapped.

The darkness was complete.
