Everyone followed after Ron in a hurried way. "Are you sure they took them?" Hermione asked, speeding up beside Ron.
"I know it's them," Ron replied. "It couldn't be anyone else who pulled this sick of a joke."
"How are you so sure it's a joke?"
"Because if the mermaids didn't take her, then it must be a joke."
"He's a lot smarter than I thought," Ryan whispered to Blair. She missed trying to hit him on the head and sped up to be beside Ron.
"You're one hundred percent sure that they took her?" she asked.
"One hundred and fifty percent sure," Ron replied. "I know them too well. They're the only people who could do that."
"But what if you're wrong?"
"Trust me. I'm not."
About fifteen minutes later, they were climbing the stairs to the North Tower, having Ron lead the way, Snape and Hermione right behind him, with everyone else trying to catch up. The trap door swung opened, with everyone popping up into the heavily perfumed room. No sign of the Divination professor or the suspects behind her disappearance. "One hundred and fifty percent sure?" Blair asked in anger. "How about negative one hundred and fifty percent?"
"I know they took her. They were here though. Do you see that trunk? That's their trunk."
"How do you know?" Snape asked, his voice tinged with anger.
"I've seen it a million times in their room. It's their's all right."
"Where could they have gone?" Zoe asked in thought. All of a sudden, everyone heard someone jump, or else fall, through the trap door. Everyone looked to see Blair on her back, looking up in pain. "I think I know where they are!" she announced, trying to get up as slowly as possible.
Everyone climbed down through the back door when Blair got up and raced to the hallway, ran through the opening to the outside grounds, running all the way to Hagrid's Hut. "What are we doing here America?" Draco asked. "You made us run all the way here to..."
"Don't. Say. Another. Word." Harry's face was growing as red with rage as Ron's hair. "She brought us here for a reason and if you have a problem with that, you could just..."
"Break it up, break it up!" Ryan announced.
"Let Blair speak!" Zoe yelled.
"Those three are in the Forbidden Forest," Blair went on. "Let's go and if anyone is too scared to go, run now or be scared for life." All of a sudden, pounding feet was heard and everyone turned around to see Malfoy running for his life.
"Oh come on!" Zoe yelled. "He's been in that forest before! Why can't he go in there again?"
"He's a wimp," Ali said. She turned to see that Snape had his head pointed to the ground, obviously ashamed that Malfoy had ever made it to his house. Everyone started into the forest, carefully watching their steps.
Ali, Zoe, and Blair were all hanging close, along with Zoe grabbing Harry's arms a couple of times before she quickly jerked away blushing, Hermione staying close to Ron, Ryan and Harry walking besides each other, and Snape leading the way, making sure all of the students would be safe.
About a few minutes into the walk, they saw three figures in a tree. "We know it's you!" Snape called. "Get down from there!" Suddenly, there was a snap, three ear-piercing screams, and three thumps on the ground. "Lumos." Snape pointed his wand at the three figures, showing a female in an oversized dress with lots of shiny bangles and big, rhine stoned glasses and two matching red heads.
"I knew it!" Ron said. "I told you guys! It was Fred and George all along!" The three got up from the ground, leaves sticking in their hair, and smiled lightly. "Oh my God," Trelawney said desperately. "Thank goodness you all have come. They dragged me from the Black Lake, taking me under, and..."
"Hey!" Fred, or George, screamed. "You agreed with us to prank them!"
"You said that the future could be changed," George, or Fred, went on. "But obviously, it either can't, or you're just an old fraud."
"If I hear one more argument," Snape announced, "I think I will loose my mind!"
"Like it hasn't already been lost," Ryan whispered to Harry.
"You, how did you ever get into my house? HOW?"
"I thought you said you didn't want another argument."
"I said I think I'll loose my mind if I hear another argument. But I'm willing to take that risk."
"Ooh, I'm so scared."
"Ryan," Zoe said. "It's you against Snape. Don't you think you're a little, I don't know, over your head?"
"It's better than being over Bird Beak's head."
"Why do you insist on calling me Bird Beak?" Snape asked in fury.
"Because you need to do something about that nose!" All of a sudden, Snape started to yell at Ryan, the twins and Trelawney started to yell at each other, while everyone else tried to calm them down. Suddenly, a big stomping was heard. Everyone looked up to see a Hungarian Horntail staring down at them.
