Potter's Personal Chamber Chapter 15: The cards
The card showed a picture of an old woman.
"The crone: a symbol of wisdom, mysticism and age. The person this card represents is probably mature for his or her age." Linda informed them as she flipped over the present card. It had a picture of a graveyard.
"The graveyard. Interesting. I haven't encountered this card yet, though I'm not surprised. It means that a death is going to happen soon that is important and it might not be someone you hold dear but it might be the break in the case you need. I agree with you, Agent Potter, it's sad that innocent people have to die to catch the bad guy." Linda said. The future card's picture was of a cell door.
"The prisoner: often meaning that a cell is in the person's future but in this case I think it's a sign of a successful case." Linda foretold. The top card revealed a hooded figure with a scythe.
"Death. I've never seen this card up here before either." Linda said intrigue infused her voice. The last card showed a man wielding a sword in a village with a sack that was over flowing with precious metals.
"The marauder. Often a sign of theft but again it's an item card so maybe something one of you stole." Linda suggested.
"You're welcome Agent Potter. I would hurry out. Frank is almost here." Linda said, escorting them back to the door. When they got back and told everyone what they had found out the teams fell to speculating.
"The crone probably represents a Ravenclaw." Justin said. Harry nodded.
"The death card has three items that could fit the bill. The elder wand, the resurrection stone, and Death's invisibility cloak." Harry said.
"Though I doubt that the stone or the wand are going to be involved." He added.
"Who owns the cloak then?" Tony asked.
"I do." Harry replied non-chalantly.
"What? I inherited it. I haven't personally met death." He added when he felt the eyes of his teammates on him.
"Been hit twice with the killing curse but hasn't met death." Justin lightheartedly grumbled.
"You must be the luckiest person on the earth." Ziva said. Harry tried to be modest about his amount of luck.
"The marauder could be an item from a robbery that turned fatal." Deeks said.
"Could be or it could be a Marauder's Map like item." Harry suggested.
"What's that?" Roberts asked.
"A map that shows where everyone is at every minute of everyday at Hogwarts." Harry said.
"So that's what it was called." Justin said.
"Though using that logic a lot of items could fit the bill." Harry mused.
"Why?" Gibbs asked.
"There was a group of friends who called themselves the Marauders." Harry said.
"Who were they?" Tony asked.
"My dad, Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew." Harry responded.
"So they're all dead?" Justin asked.
"I think so. Pettigrew could still be alive though." Harry said.
"Wait, didn't Black kill Pettigrew?" Justin asked.
"If you're asking is that part of the official reason why he was in Azkaban, then yes. However if you're asking for what actually happened, Pettigrew killed twelve muggles and cut off his finger and turned into the rat that he was." Harry explained.
"You lost me." Gibbs said.
"Wizards can learn to transfigure themselves into an animal. Pettigrew could turn himself into a rat." Harry explained.
"So there was a pun in there?" Tony asked. Harry nodded.
"So did you learn to do this?" Ziva asked.
"Nope." Harry said.
"Guys, we got another body." Nell called down.
