thetruethieflord: ...any characters you might recognize.
kingofallbooks: Nor Hogwarts nor the grounds.
"In here, Gin, quick," Harry Potter gasped pulling a reluctant red head by the hand. "We can hide in here. We should be safe here."
Harry and Ginny Weasley had been running around the castle looking for a safe place to hide for the last half hour. They had some how gotten lost in the madness of the castle and the stairs had not helped at all. Every time the couple had almost reached a place to hide the stairs had decided to change and lead them in a different direction until they were totally lost and had no idea where they were going. Everybody, students and professors alike, seemed to have found a safe place to hide or fight. Even Headmaster Dumbledore was no where to be seen.
"Where do you think we are?" A trembling Ginny asked Harry looking around the room that they had ducked into.
"Some neat freaks room," Harry replied looking at the nicknacks that had a self cleaning charm on them. The room was spotless. The couch didn't even have the indentation from someone sitting on it. "It doesn't look like anyone has been in here in years except to clean. The last person that used this room most have been from Gryffindor. Look at all the Lions." The room indeed was furnish with a lot of lions and had the red and gold colors of the Gryffindor house.
As the two were looking for a place to sit the door suddenly opened revealing a tall blond haired boy and a slightly shorter blond girl. "What are you doing here?" Harry demanded whipping his wand out of his back pocket and pointing it at the blond boy.
"I could ask you the something, Potter," the boy sneered. "You could have at least locked the door. But since you asked we were looking for a safe place to hide."
"Snape will have a fit when he doesn't find you in the dungeons, Malfoy," Harry stated still not taking his eyes off the boy. "What in Merlin's name is going on out there?'
"You mean you don't know," the blond girl murmured looking at Harry. "Put your wand down. It would not due to have them find us all stunned or worse."
"No," Harry muttered looking at the girl for the first time. "Ginny and I were coming from the library when we got swept up with the crowd. We were going to the Great Hall for dinner."
"While," the girl began eyeing Malfoy for conformation before she continued. "We were sitting in the Great Hall when a first year came in screaming to run and passed out. That is all we know. We left when he passed out."
Flashback
"Run, hide," a first year boy screamed running into the Great Hall. As if rehearsed the students in the Great Hall jumped to their feet and started to run. Leaving several overturned benches and food scattered all over the place. No one noticed Headmaster Dumbledore calmly rise from his chair at the head table and call for silence even though half the students were gone.
"I hope they know to go to their house Common Rooms," Professor McGonigall stated. "What do think is going on, Albus?"
"We should ask the first year," Dumbledore replied looking at the first year that had fainted after his announcement.
"Reminds me of a certain DADA professor from a few years back," Professor Snape giggled. "Isn't he one of yours, Minerva?"
"When have you become such a party boy?" Flitwick asked with a smirk.
"As amusing as this may seem," Dumbledore interjected. "We must find out what is going on. Now, to wake the poor boy." Dumbledore calmly walked over to the first year; pointing his wand at the boy muttered a few words under his breath to revive the boy.
"My boy," Dumbledore started. "What ever frightened you so?"
"Black... Black... no... nooo..." the boy stammered before he passed out again.
"It seems," Dumbledore said rising and looking at the rest of the professors. "That we have got an intruder in the castle. Everybody search the area they are most familiar with grounds and all. Heads of House your first responsibility is to make sure all your students are accounted for. Please make a list of all students that are not in their houses. The names will be circulated to all professors who will keep their eye out for the missing students. We must do this quickly."
end flashback
Harry looked at the girl in amazement. He and Ginny had heard the students screaming about hiding and running. The portraits were even mumbling about someone that had sneaked into the castle. He and Ginny were not sure who exactly had gotten into Hogwarts but Harry was sure it was not good. He was sure it had to be a dark wizard using some powerful dark magic. There was no other way for them to get into Hogwarts. Unless they had help from someone on the inside.
"How could anyone get past the dementors?" Harry wondered sinking to the floor.
"I don't know," Ginny whispered sinking down next to Harry and wrapping her arms around him. "I just hope we are safe in here."
"If they got past the dementors I don't see what we can do," Malfoy replied looking at the blond girl who was trembling next to him. They had also sat on the floor facing the Gryffindors. "So what should we do?"
" First of all I think we should lock the door," the blond girl responded. "At least then we will have a little protection between us and whatever is out there."
"I hate to admit it," Draco started. "But Potter is the best at that. Also at having a big head."
"Make sure it is unbreakable," Ginny piped in trembling slightly as Harry got up and went to the door. At the door Harry mumbled a few words pointing his wand at the door. "Now what should we do?" Ginny asked when Harry returned to his spot on the floor next to Ginny.
"How about truth or dare," the blond replied. The other three in the room perked up as if she had said the magical words.
"Rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first," Ginny mumbled.
"One, two, three, shot," the four said together. Draco got rock, Ginny and Harry had paper, the blond picked scissors.
"It seems Malfoy won," Harry sneered.
"No it doesn't," Ginny explained. "Rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper, paper covers rock. So everyone cancels each other out. So we have to go again."
"Gee, Potter, you can be so dense," Draco muttered. "Again. On three. One... two... three..." The second time everyone but Harry chose rock while Harry chose paper.
"It seems that I have won," Harry muttered. He turned to the blond girl, "Truth or Dare?"
"Truth," the blond replied. She was sure that Harry would not ask her anything to embarrassing the first time around.
"Alright," Harry replied. "What is your name?"
"Rebeka," the blond replied with a smile. How did she now that would be the question. True she had just transferred to the school the day before but that question was way to easy. "Ginny, truth or dare?"
"Truth," Ginny replied thinking that Rebeka's question would be just as easy.
"Why is your hair so red?"
"Simple, my mother's and father's was," Ginny replied. "Harry, truth or Dare?"
"Dare."
"Fine, I dare you to snog me in front of Draco and Rebeka," Ginny stated in a very business like matter.
"You can't be serious," Harry murmured turning as red as Ginny's hair.
"Do I look like I am joking?" Ginny replied leaning over to kiss Harry. "I don't bite." All thoughts of embarrassment left Harry's mind the minute Ginny's lips touched his.
"My turn again," Harry muttered when the kiss was over. "Malfoy, truth or dare?"
"Dare, Potter," Draco sneered.
Harry conjured a video camera before he looked at Malfoy with a smile. "You must look in the video camera and say. Look at me I am Draco Malfoy. I am a big fat git. I hate Harry Potter because he has all the friends and I have none. I'll never get past snogging with a girl. I like to pick my nose when no one is looking and eat the buggers. I like to strip in front of a mirror and pretend it is a girl. The Weasley's are the best family ever. When I grow up I want to be just like them. I am scared of the smallest of things. I have a secret crush on Crabble and Goyle."
"You can't be serious," Draco stormed glaring at Harry.
"Very," Harry replied with a straight face looking through the eye piece on the video camera.
"Fine," Draco muttered. "You do realize this means war," Draco commented after he had completed the dare. The game continued for another hour with a combination of truths and dares which ranged from snogging each other to professing love to various professors that were recorded using the video camera.
Meanwhile back in the Great Hall the professors had again gathered to discuss what they had found in their search of the castle and grounds. "Malfoy and Wolfe are missing from Slytherin," Snape announced as soon as Dumbledore had asked for a report.
"As are Potter and Ginny Weasley," McGonagall added.
"Anyone else?" Dumbeldore asked the twinkle missing from his eye. When the rest of the staff denied that they were missing any students Dumbeldore asked if anything had been turned up.
"We found nothing," all the Professors muttered dejectedly. "It is as if Black vanished," Professor Sprout added.
"We must conduct a strict search of the school," Professor Dumbeldore muttered. "We must find the missing students."
"I get the dungeons," Snape piped in jumping make and forth. "I get the dungeons. I get the dungeons."
"Honestly, Severus, can't you sit still for three minutes," McGonnigalle scolded. "You are acting as if the Marauders pranked you."
"Go find Mickey, Minnie," Snape muttered still dancing in place.
"Who put pepper-up in your Pumpkin juice?" Sprout asked glaring at Snape. "We have students missing and you are treating this as a joke."
"Bugger off, Sprout," Snape exclaimed with a mischievous grin that would have put all of the Marauders to shame.
"That is enough," Dumbledore said. "The missing students must be located as well as Black. First the other students must be escorted to the Great Hall. We will leave the head boy and head girl in charge while we search the castle. Heads of House this will be up to you. The rest of you please resume your search. No one is to rest until the students are found. the ghosts will help in this search. Report to me as soon as anything is found."
The professors all left in groups of two in hopes that they would not get attacked. Black had just raised the stakes. He had kidnapped four of the students, or so the professors thought although none of them would admit to this outloud. The next morning the professors had no other option but to admit defeat. They had not found Black or the students and were all at a lost as to what had happened to them. Unbeknownst to them the four students were actually safe and sound in one of the teachers quarters.
While the search was in progress the four students were continuing their not so innocent game of truth and dare. The game was still in full swing and the dares were getting more daring and the truths were getting more reveling. The last dare was for Draco and Harry to have a wrestling match that ended in them both laughing close to passing out. The girls had huge grins on their faces since they had video taped the whole things. Through out the whole game the four former enemies, while three and one undecided had somehow become friends. What else can you expect after being stuck in a room together for several hours.
"It is late," Rebeka stated looking at her watch. "We should probably turn in."
"Yeah, your right," Ginny remarked trying to stifle a yawn as she lifted her head off of Harry's lap. "Lets do rock, paper scissors to see who gets the bed and who gets the couch."
"Not again," Harry moaned. "The last time took too long."
"It's just going to be you and me, Harry," Draco piped in. "Or we could all share a bed."
"Yeah, Rebeka would be the only girl you could sleep with besides your mum," Ginny piped in smirking. "And she probably charges you." This comment was rewarded by a smack on the back of Ginny's head by Harry who was grinning.
"I think sharing the bed would be the best option," Harry commented. "It's not like anyone will be around until morning. Besides no one can break the charm I put on the door until at least the crack of dawn. However, if it would make everyone feel better we can take turns guarding the door well the others sleep."
"You could always put up a security charm on either side of the door in the hall that would alert as when someone was coming," Ginny exclaimed.
"If we do that I think the three of us older ones should add their own charm as an extra precaution," Rebeka commented from her spot on Draco's lap."
"Then it is agreed," Harry exclaimed. "I will unlock the door long enough to put the charms up. I think five minutes should be enough. Ready go." At Harry's signal he, Draco, and Rebeka all cast different charms that would alert them when someone was close to the room. For good measure Harry also added an alert to the door incase anyone happened to get past the outer protection spells without triggering the alarms.
With the alarms set the four friends moved into the bedroom and settled down next to eachother for the night. The boys slept on te outside of the bed well the girls slept in the middle. As luck would have it the bed seemed to expand to accommodate all four of the students. Truth be known the friends felt safer together then apart. After all they always said safety in numbers.
The next morning a very distressed and tired professor McGonagal made her way to her quarters oblivious to what she would find there. The four missing students still had not been located and Dumbledore had to admit that it would do no one any good to have all the professors falling over from exhaustion. So he had divided the teachers up in teams with one team searching the castle and grounds while the other got some much needed sleep. McGonagal happened to be on the first team that got to get some rest, even though she was sure she would be unable to get any sleep.
The four friends who had all curled up on the professor's bed slept through the various alerts and did not realize the entrance of Professor McGonnigall. If they had the professor would not have witnessed what she did. As it was she noticed the four friends all laying in the bed huddled together protectively. Not wanting to wake the students McGonnigall silently went to her fireplace to call Dumbledore who immediately flooed to her quarters. When he arrived he followed McGonigall to her bedroom - grinning at the sight and conjured a camera to take a picture. "For prosperities sake," Dumbledore explained snapping the picture. "Who would have thought that one night of terror would bring these two houses together?"
"Not I, Albus," MgGonigall replied. "Not I."
The flash from the picture woke the four teens up and they all reached for their wands pointing them at the professors and sending hexes at them before they realized who they actually were. Taking this as threats the two professors bolted for the door. Draco was the first to realize what had actually happened and exclaimed, "Get Dumbledore. He just took a picture of us sleeping." The four teens all jumped out of bed in one fluid motion and bolted after the two professors who had run into Professor Snape.
"Potter, Weasley, Malfoy, Wolfe, what is the meaning of this?" Snape teased coming around the corner stopping the teens and professors.
"Well, sir," Draco piped up. "Professor Dumbledore took a picture of us. It was not our proudest moment."
"We were kind of in a compromising situation," Harry added.
"Might I ask what exactly this was?" Snape asked again bouncing from foot to foot.
"You know, Severus," Professor Lupin muttered coming around a corner alerted to the activity by the noise. "You remind me of James when you bounce around like that. He could never stand still."
"Well, sir," Ginny began.
"Last night when the first year yelled to run," Rebeka piped in.
"The four of us some how ended up in the same room," Draco continued.
"There was only one bed," Harry explained.
"We didn't feel like using anymore magic then we had to," Ginny finished.
"Ah, I get it," Snape exclaimed nodding his head rapidly. Turning to the other three professors he yelled at the top of his lungs, "RUN!!!!!!!" The four professors all took off running and laughing. Tossing the camera between them while the four students chased them.
