Muggle Missing Chapter 10
Everything Belongs to JKR
I own nothing except my original characters.
Durmstrang Castle - 1971
From around the corner I could hear a noise. I heard what sounded like dueling, as one of the top students it was my place to discourage students from misbehaving and to help them with their studies. I walked down the corridor to investigate. As I got closer to them I could hear somebody gasping for air. It was probably some 5th year freaking out about VEs, the continuing exams set by the North Atlantic Ministry of Magic, and they probably had mispronounced the second syllable in the sprenging spell, it was one of the more difficult spells that was covered by the VEs and when it was mispronounced things tended to be blown up. I turned around the corner to find not a student having a meltdown, but one of the younger students, Antonin Dolohov- if I recall correctly, standing over somebody who looked much older than him. The older student's skin was pulled taunt, it was crackled and dry. The skin around his eyes was pulled down, revealing the insides. His eyes bulged out and his lips curved outward from the pull of the skin.
The student gasped for air. I ran over to him, trying to figure out what he had been hit with. It must have been a powerful spell, it couldn't have been the work of the younger student.
"Help!" I called out for one of the teachers. "I need some help over here, a student has been attacked!"
I could hear hurried footsteps heading towards us. A group of girls rounded the corner quickly followed by the headmaster.
"Do you want me to take him to hospital?" The girl asked. Her friends helped the boy up.
"Yes quickly! Hurry! You idiot boy, you could have killed him!" I shouted at him.
"So? He would have deserved it." He said back, resigns. He was devoid of any emotions, the perfect poker face.
"Enough! Up to my office, both of you." The headmaster said.
We walked up to his office quietly. When we got there we were seated in front of his desk.
"What did you curse him with?" The old Headmaster asked him.
"Nothing that you would know of." He retorted.
"Why did you attack him?" The headmaster tried again calmly.
"I have my reasons."
"Which are?"
"None of your business"
"Where did you learn that spell? That's not one that we teach here."
"I didn't, I made it myself." He paused. "So what now? You going to expel me? Call my father?" Dolohov asked the old man. "Like he would care, he would be proud, if anything."
The old man paused before answering his question.
"No...Not expel, but you are prohibited from any sporting events. You will spend every night in detention. And you will be mentored to improve your skills... for good.
"What! No quidditch?"
"But sir-" I interjected only to be cut off.
"Karkaroff, I expect you to mentor young Dolohov. Be a good role model. You both may go." The head master said.
We both left the office and headed towards our dormitories.
"I guess we will have weekly meeting-" I said, opening up to him.
"No we won't. I don't need or want your help."
"You don't have a choice."
"So? Like any of this matters, there is much better things out there. School is just rubbish."
"Rubbish? How do you expect to know anything else or what to do? If you can't perform the simple spells you can't do the harder ones."
"I can duel, I took him down easily and I can do the same to others."
"Dueling isn't everything." I told him, there was way more to life.
"Look I don't expect you to get it, you have book smarts, but you don't have street smarts. You stick to your books and I'll stick to what I'm good at."
"What can you do with just being able to curse people?"
"Join the Dark Lord like my father, maybe then he would appreciate me more." Dolohov said stopping to look up at me.
"Join the who?" I asked.
I bet you were expecting a whole chapter? Yeah, I kinda thought it would be too. Oh wait, no I didn't! :P
I also wasn't planning on leaving a cliff hanger. Lmao Of course I was.
OK so I was actually planning on writing random words making a nonsensical chapter.
Either way...
Happy April Fools!
