My friend, Kayla, helped co-write this chapter because I was having writer's block :D

Disclaimer: Sadly, I'm not JK Rowling :-/ I don't own any of of this stuff...

Dedicated to Kayla for helping me so much- you readers may be seeing this dedication quite often, now :D

Dumbledore passed out the lists of items to each pair. Once they were passed out, Dumbledore spoke again:

"You all have different sets of items and the whole of Hogwarts is your treasure chest. The professors have been informed of what you are doing and they can help you to a point. They can tell you who may have the item or where the item could be, but they cannot help you any farther than that. Well, off you go!"

Hermione and Draco surveyed the list:
1. An Eagle's Talon
2. A Phoenix Feather
3. A Snake Skin
4. A Bag of Sherbert Lemon Drops
5. A Badger Tooth
6. A Wand
7. A Lock of Lion Fur

"These all seem like indoor items, ready to go back in?" Draco asked.

"Sure," Hermione replied.

"Where do you think we should go first?" Draco asked. Hermione pondered this thought, then stared back down at the list. An eagle's talon... where would that be? They were walking down the corridor when a tall man dressed in a black cloak crossed their path.

"Where are you two going?" The man asked in a deep, drawling voice. Hermione tilted her head up, to meet his eyes.

"Just our luck," Draco said to Hermione, then he turned to the man, "Actually, we were looking for you, can you help us with our scavenger hunt? We need a couple items for it that you have."

The man leered at Draco, "Why should I help you? I don't have all day you see, I need to go do something for Dumbledore, first. I may come back, I may not. Go do your other things first." He said, not even waiting for a response, he walked up the staircase, holding a box of bottled potions. The two watched as he walked away.

Draco grimaced, "Well... there goes half our list, for now at least."

"Is there a phoenix at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked, looking at the list. Draco peered at the list, too.

"I know where we can get lemon drops, let's get number four done and we can ask the lady while we're there about any phoenixes" Draco replied. Hermione nodded, then the two kids walked down the corridor up to the lady's room.

When they reached the room, they didn't see anyone, all they saw was a cat. Hermione recognised her immediately, seeing as that cat had completely changed her life 4 days ago at her muggle house.

"Afternoon, Professor McGonagall, I was wondering if you could help me and Draco out with this scavenger hunt list. We're in need of a bag of lemon drops." Hermione said.

The bespectacled cat jumped off the table and transformed into the wise teacher that she truly was. "It'd be my pleasure, Miss Granger, to help you. Mr. Terry Boot and Ernie MacMillan have already come to me, only they requested a bag of cockroach clusters." The professor went behind her desk and pulled out a bag of yellow candies from a drawer. She tossed it to Hermione.

"Thank you professor! And do you by chance know where Draco and I could find a phoenix feather?"

Although the professor had a permanent stern expression, she gave her warmest smile to the two of them, "Professor Dumbledore can introduce you two to Fawkes." She gave them directions and sent them on their way, wishing them luck.

When they entered the hall, Draco asked Hermione, "Did she just say Fox? I think she's a bit daft."

They continued on their way, though, and found the gargoyle quickly. Hermione said, "Acid Pops" and went up the spiral staircase with Draco following close behind.

When they reached the top, they knocked on the door and, once an "Enter" was said, they entered. The first thing they noticed was the tall, bearded man, Dumbledore, with a large, red bird perched on his shoulder. He turned to when the two youngsters came in. "Have you two finished already?" He asked, surprised.

"No, actually, we were wondering about a phoenix feather." Hermione replied.

"What the heck is that on your shoulder?" Draco asked in shock.

Dumbledore chuckled, "This is Fawkes, my pet phoenix. I thought it'd seem obvious, since you were on the hunt for one."

Hermione stared at the bird as Dumbledore took him off his should and set him on his perch.

"Fox as in F-O-X?" Draco asked.

"No, not f-o-x. Fawkes, as in f-a-w-k-e-s. " Dumbledore told the boy.

"How'd you come up with that name?" Draco asked.

"The night Voldemort was defeated, ten year ago, was celebrated; the day of the celebration was called 'Guy Fawkes Day' by a muggle. That night I adopted this bird from a close friend." Dumbledore explained.

"Professor, may we please have a feather?" Hermione asked. She looked to the big bird, then back to Dumbledore waiting for his response. He smiled with a twinkle in his eye then nodded to the girl. He plucked a feather carefully off of Fawkes then handed it to Hermione.

"Thank you professor." Hermione said, before exiting down the spiral staircase and consoling her list again.

"Let's see... one borrowed wand and then the potions ingredients... want to split up? I'll get the potions and you'll get the wan-" Hermione was interrupted by banging and clattering that came from down the hall, closer... and closer... the noise kept getting louder and louder.

"PEEVES!" A man shouted, running from around a corner, staring wildly for the noise-maker. "I'M GOING TO GET YOU THIS TIME!" He shouted again, running past them and down the corridor behind them. His cat came out of the hall he'd come from and jumped onto the handrails, racing to catch up to her master. "OOH YOU'RE GONNA BE OUT THIS TIME!" Filch continued shouting non-stop until he was out of sight and too far away to be heard again.

"What was he on about?" Hermione asked as she watched them run away.

"I have no clue." Draco said then continued, "I don't think I want to know."

"Maybe we should split up to find the last few items? You could get the wand, and I could get the ingredients. That would be only two stops! It'd be a cinch." Hermione nodded as she was speaking.

"Sounds like a great idea. Hopefully Professor Snape is back from whatever he was doing." Draco remarked. Hermione nodded, then headed off to Professor Snape's room. Draco on the other hand ran off to find a wand.
