I read the original class list that has been released on pottermore... I realize that some of my characters will not fit perfectly into this list. (For example, she has an Oliver Rivers, while mine is Olivia Rivers) But that is why it is fanfiction! Also, this drabble (more like a mini-oneshot) evolved into something much bigger in my head... a possible future chapter fic. :) Enjoy!
Prompt: Invisible
Li, Su
When the blindfold was removed from her eyes, Su found herself in a small concrete room, with no evidence of a door. She was sitting in a steel chair, that after trying to move it, she discovered was attached to the floor. She had no idea where her wand was, and even if she did, she wouldn't have been able to do any magic, as her hands were tied firmly behind her back.
Crack! A young man wearing a simple black robe appeared in front of her. She immediately noticed that he was carrying two wands, one of which was her own blackthorn.
"I demand that you untie me and give me back my wand," she spat vehemently, "You have no right to keep me here."
The man chuckled. "In fact, we do, Miss Li. What makes a simple translator at the Department of International Magical Cooperation want to commit such grandiose crimes?"
She gave him a curious glance. "If you a referring to the artwork, I would not consider that a crime. I was merely – retrieving them from unworthy owners." She smiled innocently at the man, "Didn't all those paintings end up in the museums they had been originally taken from?"
"Of course," the man nodded, "After they paid you a large sum of money. But alas, we are not here to discuss your possible imprisonment. This is a job interview."
Su was suddenly very interested in what the man had to say, but easily gave off an air of indifference. "You certainly have an unique way of collecting your applicants. You drugged me. It seems like such an archaic thing for a wizard to do. Who are you?"
The man gave her a lopsided grin. "Miss Li, I am part of the Invisibles, a secret organization run by the Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards. You could say that I am a wizard spy."
"What is-"
"The Invisibles are made up of one representative from each of the countries that are part of the Confederation. There is currently an opening for an English Invisible. Do you accept?"
"I don't underst-"
"Miss Li, if you do not accept you will never learn what an Invisible does and we will wipe this conversation from your memory and you will return to your life as a common translator and thief. Do you accept?" The man was suddenly serious, all of his earlier casualness seemed to evaporate.
Su paused. She had no idea who this person was, what an Invisible was, or why they were offering this job to her. She did know being invisible was one of her many talents and being part of a secret organization sounded exciting.
She shrugged. "Why not?"
Dun dun duuunn... What exactly is an Invisible? I imagine an international James Bond. ;) Please review!
