Iris slowly blinked; she could see that the sun was breaking through telling her dawn was approaching. They had arrived back last night, and like many nights before everyone seemed to be doing their own thing. If she was right, the next couple of memories would show Nick's Deathday party, that incident with Mrs Norris and once again the group would be subjected to another alteration with Lockhart.
"You've been awake for a while" Klaus murmured from behind her, she had been using his arm to cushion her neck.
"Hmm…just thinking" Iris uttered "about what's to be revealed" she confided. Klaus shifted so that he was closer to the petite raven head.
"You know sweetheart that whatever is revealed in no way would we think of you any less" Klaus's accented voice rang out.
"I know" Iris smiled, but that was another worry on her mind. They would all learn about what she'd done in her later years, putting a torture curse on someone, albeit they did deserve it. She pushed that all to the back of her mind. Now was not the time to think about this…she had to get through the rest of second year, third year seemed quiet tame. But she knew it would all get shot to hell in her fourth year since that was the turning point.
"You my love are rather distracted are you not?" Klaus pushed aside her raven locks revealing one of her ears as well as the side of her throat.
"Hmm-"
"And I know a way to combat that" Klaus's voice was low and husky, she felt tingles erupt all over her as he laid soft-almost kisses on her throat, he could feel her relaxing against him. Iris gasped when she felt his blunt teeth bit down on her ear lobe. Iris groaned and twisted around so that she was lying down on her back.
The hybrid hovered above her "You know what I realise?" he asked in between kisses, she hissed and arched her back when she felt him sucking a patch of her skin hard. He soothed the stinging sensation by running his tongue over the pink flesh.
"What?" she went to reach up and wrap her arms around his neck but the Original was swift and pinned her wrists above her head by one of his hands. "Klaus-"her emerald orbs hardened
"That we haven't done the dirty in a couple of days…and you know what that means" he smirked as he straddled her hips.
"What does it mean?" she asked wriggling slightly, she felt his heat and comfortable weight against her.
"It means-"he leant down so his lips were inches away from hers, "that it's going to be hard-"
"And fast?" she questioned, merlin she just wanted his lips on hers.
"I'm anything but fast sweetheart" Klaus winked, and before she could blink he smashed his lips against hers. Iris decided to deny the Original the way he had deny her, and pressed her lips together, thus denying Klaus access. A low growl left his lips when she did that. He pulled back and gazed down at her, his blond curls tickled her forehead.
"You saucy, saucy vixen" he purred "now let me in-"
Iris hummed and shook her head, her raven locks were splayed across the fluffy pillows, they were covered in a mess of sheets and quilts. "No…I don't think I will. You can be a tease-"he groaned and dropped his head onto her shoulder when she ran her pink tongue across his throat. "Why can't I?" she surprised him by digging her knee into his hip and rolling them over. So that now she was straddling him. Klaus allowed it knowing that he was achieving what he set out to do and that was to distract Iris from her dark thoughts.
"Do what you will" he dared her, Iris grinned and he jolted when he felt her soft hands palming his chest and stroking his stomach,
"As you said, do what I will" she smirked down at him, Klaus thought that she had no idea how seductive she looked from his view, her hair was tousled and her emerald orbs were dark with lust.
She leant forward making sure to press every part of her soft body against his hard and lean one. Klaus hands latched onto her hips, and pressed his fingers into her soft flesh when she kissed his throat, he felt her hot tongue against his flesh.
"Iris-"he groaned when she started to trail kisses further down his body. He stiffened feeling her hand cupping his throbbing neither region. Enough was enough, so with that in mind he flipped them back over, he silenced her cry of protest by smashing his lips against her, Iris moan came out muffled when his tongue plunged into her mouth, her hands latched onto his shoulders as she attempted to get some leverage. Klaus pulled back allowing her a moment to breathe as he pulled her silk camisole over her head,
"No bra?" he smirked, his eyes were drawn to her pink buds.
"Who sleeps with a bra? Its-uncomfortable" she choked out when his tongue stroked the hardened bud. She dug her fingers into his shoulders when his mouth encompassed one of her nipples, he moved his other hand up to her other breast
"Ok, ok-"Iris groaned, "just-"
"You're dripping-"he smirked smugly, she glowered at him, but that faltered when she felt his hand moved down to stroke her pantie line.
"Shut up" Iris blushed. He chuckled and without further ado he tore her shorts and panties from her leaving the raven head bare.
Iris brushed her thick hair and was about to tie it up in a ponytail, after a couple of rounds in bed, she managed to escape his clutches and convince him that they could have more fun later. She smiled to herself, the petite teen still found it astounding that someone would care and love her so much. She had a whole new family to care for her, but then she had that nagging feeling at the back of her mind…what would they say about her darker years? Iris screwed up her Gryffindor courage and decided to deal with it when it came. She let out a small breath and grabbed her hairband but froze.
"Oh…bloody hell. Stupid sexy hybrid-"she huffed when she noticed various love bites across her pale throat.
"You called?" Klaus emerged from the attached bathroom, with a towel resting low on his hips.
"Shove off Klaus." She rolled her emerald orbs. "Do you see this?"
Klaus smirked and waltzed over to her, he was about to wrap his arms around her but she spun around and pushed him back, her hand rested against his chest and she pushed him back. "Er no-you're wet and I just got dressed. Plus I like this dress" she gestured to the deep purple dress she had decided to wear today. "And you're going to get me wet-"her eyes widened, that sounded so wrong. Klaus chuckled
"I always get you wet" he smirked, Iris rolled her eyes, ok she gave him that one.
"Just give me your blood-"she uttered watching as he strolled over to the dresser, where his clothes resided
"And why would I do that?" Klaus asked glancing over his shoulder, he supressed his laughter when he saw the expression on his little witch.
"Hello! Are you serious?" Iris pushed back her raven locks revealing the numerous red splotches that lined her throat, and some even disappeared under the collar of her dress. "I'm covered in your marks and I'd be-"
"Too embarrassed to walk around with them?" he finished off, Iris nodded
"Yep so heal me-"she uttered and narrowed her eyes when he had a mischevious smile on his face, she knew he was going to do something to annoy her. "Klaus-"
"Nope, I like having my marks on you" he drawled.
Her jaw dropped, "Wait-what?" she questioned "Klaus-"
Klaus smirked and loosened the knot on the towel that was wrapped around his hips, it fell to the floor, she automatically spun around causing the hybrid to laugh. "Come on love, you've seen me naked plenty of time and yet you still shy away, it makes me want you more."
Iris placed her hand over her emerald green orbs and shook her head.
"The amount of times she's seen you naked, I'm surprised she's not scarred" Kol grinned, he canted his head to the side as the hybrid with speed slipped on a pair of boxer shorts. He sniffed the air "Damn it stinks of sex-"
"And now I'm going" Iris blushed and literally ran out of the room, she could hear Kol laughing loudly
"I was kidding sweetness-"he yelled after her, peering out of the room, the raven head flipped him the bird and headed off to go get some breakfast. She giggled hearing a thump and an ow. No doubt Klaus had hit his brother.
Iris walked into the kitchen, and saw that everyone else was there already.
"Iris-"Elijah greeted her, he was reading the Daily Prophet "Good morning, here, eat-"he patted the space beside him, everyone else was milling about the kitchen, Kol and Klaus were still not here
"I'm not hungry—"Iris uttered "I'll just have some tea-"
"No you're going to have breakfast" Elijah said sternly, Rebekah placed a plate of food down, the raven head sighed dramatically, and flopped down in her seat.
"I'm never going to get use to that" Caroline uttered staring at the front page of the Prophet that Elijah was still holding up,
"What?" Iris cocked an eyebrow, digging into her breakfast she picked up some toast and took a bite out of it.
"The moving pictures" Stefan said "that's…not the norm is it"
Damon noticed the smirk on Iris's face "What's up flower?" he swallowed a mouthful of coffee.
"You guys-"she pointed at Caroline, Stefan and Damon "are still up in arms about moving photos, I can't wait to see your reaction to dragons"
"What?" Alaric's jaw dropped "dragons?...are there dinosaurs-"
Iris snorted "Dinosaurs? Don't be ridiculous"
"Erm…Iris they were real" Jeremy snickered,
"I know that-"she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah right-"he yelped when he was hit face first with a bunch of toast "ok you know they were real" Jeremy muttered wiping his face.
"Here let me help-"Elena went to wipe the butter off but Jeremy batted his hand away.
"I don't need your help" he glared at her.
Iris licked her lips and a stern look from Elijah told her to eat the rest of her breakfast. Soon enough everyone was done, and the dishes were all put away.
"I guess we should get a move on then?" Klaus declared, he and the others were anxious to see the rest of her memories.
"So much for not being hungry" Rebekah uttered linking arms with the smaller girl, as they headed off to the study where the pensive was located "you ate everything on your plate-"
"I'm surprised she didn't lick it clean-"
"SHUT UP KOL" Iris, Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah all shouted in unison, causing Damon to snort.
"OK before we break out into a brawl, can we do this?" Caroline uttered "I should totally call Tyler, hey Iris could-"
"Didn't that woman-"
"McGonagall-"Stefan supplied
"Yeah her, didn't she say that once we've returned that no time would have passed at all" Damon said, as they all gathered around the pensive, Klaus stood on Iris's left whilst Rebekah to her right.
"Jeremy…"Alaric grinned
"What?"
"You've got butter in your hair-"the youngest tee cursed and glared at Iris, the former witch merely grinned.
"Ok can we get a move on?" Caroline huffed "I want to use that claw-foot tub-"
"Oh maybe you want some company" Kol drawled winking at the female vampire, the blond vampire shook her head.
"You are such a freaking pervert" Caroline declared, Iris, and Rebekah snickered whilst Elena shook her head "what is it with male vampires huh?" they all remained quiet as the vampire started to rant. "They are either perverts…"she looked pointedly at Damon and Kol. Iris didn't miss the smirk on Klaus's face and elbowed him.
"I don't know why you're laughing. You're one of the biggest perverts here" she whispered causing Klaus to narrow his eyes at her he pinched her bottom causing her to glower at him.
Iris tuned back into Caroline's rant "or…broody-"she looked at Stefan and Elijah. "Gosh…male vampires are dicks-"
"Yeah we got huge ones-"Damon smirked.
"Ok" Elijah called out silencing the group "let's get a move on shall we?"
Iris shook her head, and grasped on to Klaus's hand, with one final look at the group she nodded and without further ado they all dived in.
Iris stumbled as they landed in one of the many corridors in Hogwarts. She frowned attempted to recall this incident,
"Eww…Iris you look gross" Caroline wrinkled her nose, spotting little Iris rounding the corner, the twelve year old was caked with mud and saddened with rain water.
"Thanks Care" Iris rolled her eyes, as Klaus grabbed her and they followed the past Iris down the corridor.
"Why are you covered in muck anyway?" Damon asked,
"Quidditch practise" she replied simply.
Elijah frowned in concern "You practised in this type of weather?"
"It is a sport Elijah. We do play in all types of weather" Iris shrugged her shoulders,
"Oh…look a ghost. It's weird now that everyone else can see them as well" Jeremy uttered. They watched as little Iris stopping in her steps seeing her head of house ghost, Nearly Headless Nick who was staring out of the window morosely
"Even male ghosts brood-oww" Caroline hissed when Elena pinched her. They could hear the ghost muttering under his breath.
"Hello Nick Kol watched as little Iris greeted the ghost.
"Hello hello-"the ghost looked around startled at the presence of someone else. Damon shook his head now that was a first a ghost was surprised at a living being. "You look troubled young Potter"
"Of course you do" Jeremy scoffed "you can hear voices in your head…you sound mental"
"Thanks" Iris drawled,
Klaus watched on, he could see the expression on the little raven head's face, the ghost was right Iris did look troubled.
"So do you" little Iris retorted, Elijah shook his head at this, of course the raven head would be more concerned with a ghost's dilemma instead of her own.
"Ah" Nearly headless Nick waved his hand "a matter of no importance…it's not as though I really wanted to join...though I'd applied apparently I don't fulfil the requirements…."
"Do you have any clue what is he talking about?" Alaric asked, he was thoroughly confused.
"You see that expression on her face?" Klaus pointed at little Iris, "that's her confused her face…not her se-"
"Ok" Iris laughed and glared at the hybrid who merely smirked "no, I had no clue"
They saw little Iris jump when nearly headless Nick burst out with "But you would think that getting hit forty five times in the neck with a blunt axe would qualify you to join the Headless Hunt?"
Kol saw the look on the little raven head's face, who hastily nodded in agreement "Oh-yes"
"Wait he wanted to join a club?" Stefan cocked an eyebrow.
"I mean nobody wishes more than I do that it had all been quick and clean, and my head had come off properly, I mean it would have saved me a great deal of pain and ridicule. However…."
"This is lovely" Rebekah drawled sarcastically and sighed when she saw the ghost pulling out a piece of parchment and started to read from it.
"We can only accept huntsmen whose heads have parted company with their bodies. You will appreciate that it would be impossible otherwise for members to participate in hunt activities such as Horseback Head-juggling and Head polo-"Alaric snickered loudly as the others had smiles on their faces, Iris grinned it did sound rather ridiculous. "It is with greatest regret therefore, that I must inform you that you do not fulfil our requirements…."
Jeremy shook his head "Damn…he really wanted to be part of that club right?" he could hear the bitterness and anger in the ghost's voice
"You have no idea how much" Iris smiled and tucked in loose curl, she leant into Klaus's side. He idly tugged one of her curls.
Stefan watched as the ghost shoved the parchment back into his pocket "Half an inch of skin and sinew holding my neck Iris-"Elena blanched at that "most people would think that's good and beheaded. But oh no!-it's not enough for Sir Properly Decapitated Podmore-"
Iris fought the urge to laugh, poor Nick he's such a good soul, "So what's bothering you? Anything I can do?"
"And as always Iris is going to refuse help. You are stubborn sweetness" Kol drawled, Klaus rolled his eyes and pulled the raven head close
"And I find that trait very attractive, despite being a pain in my arse" the hybrid whispered to her, she smiled and squeezed his hand.
They focused back on the scene "No-"said little Iris, the older one ignored the triumphant look on Kol's face "not unless you know where we can get seven Nimbus Two Thousand and Ones for our match against Sly-"jus then the rest of her sentence was drowned by a loud meow.
"Eww" Damon cringed resisting the urge to kick the skeletal like cat, they recognised it as the one who belonged to the caretaker.
"You better get out of here Iris" said the ghost quickly "Filch isn't in a good mood-"
"Is that man ever?" Jeremy whispered to Alaric, the history teacher shrugged his shoulders.
They watched as little Iris spun on her heel and hurried down the hallway, she had just walked pass the tapestry when caretaker burst from behind it. Not only did it startle the second year but also Jeremy, Alaric and Elena.
"Filth" the caretaker shouted,
"That's what he is" Rebekah huffed, looking at the grey haired man in distaste, she watched as his eyes roamed Iris's soaked and sullied robes "mess and muck everywhere! I've had enough of it, I tell you! Follow me Potter!" he ordered
Klaus sighed "Once again wrong place wrong time."
"Yeah…that's going to happen a lot" Iris rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. The scene shifted so now they were all in a cluttered office, Elijah noted that this must be the caretaker's place, since the place seemed to be piled up with confiscated items.
Little Iris was now sitting on a rather grimy looking chair whilst Filch was sitting behind the desk. He retrieved a large scroll and a quill.
"Name…Iris Potter. Crime…-"Damon whistled that man was going all out
"It was only a bit of mud" said little Iris.
"Was that supposed to help?" Elijah asked, amusement flashed in his eyes. The raven head huffed and pouted. The look on her face clearly indicated that she thought so.
"It's only a bit of mud to you, girl, but to me it's an extra hour of scrubbing." Shouted Filch, Klaus tensed not liking the notion of someone shouting at his raven head. Filch wiped his nose and carried out filling out the piece of parchment "Crime…befouling the castle. Suggested sentence-"Kol snorted at that this was ridiculous he thought.
Just then there was a great big 'BANG' making the little raven head jump out of her seat.
"PEEVES" Filch roared
"Ah that poltergeist that cause you problems in your first year right?" Alaric recognised the name, Iris nodded.
"I'll have you this time" the caretaker ran out of the office. They watched on as little Iris shifted in the seat; she stood up for a moment and walked over to the door before scurrying back over to the seat. She then stood up again and shook her head and sat back down.
"Iris…you could have ran" Caroline pointed out
"Yeah…this looks like a distraction. Someone was giving you ample opportunity to run" Damon drawled
Iris blushed "Yeah I didn't realise" she muttered and ignored the snorts of laughter.
"Ah but it did give you time to snoop" Elijah commented, they saw little Iris spotting something on Filch's desk, they watched as her eyes got wider and wider till they looked like they could fall out.
"What did it say?" Stefan asked
Iris licked her lips "Oh…"her brows scrunched together in thought, as she tried to recall what as said in the letter to make Filch go mental "Oh" she remembered "I found out that Filch is a squib, he's family is able to do magic but he can't"
"Huh" Stefan nodded "no wonder he resents you all"
"You should have ran out when you got the chance" Klaus muttered, his heightened hearing picked up the sound of heavy footfalls striding towards the office. From the gait the hybrid and the Originals knew it was the caretaker, little Iris had obvious heard him so dropped the letter back
Damon winced "You didn't place it back in the exact spot. Amateur move."
"I was twelve" Iris huffed.
Filch burst through his office door a look of triumphant on his face "That vanishing cabinet as extremely valuable, we'll have Peeves this time my sweet-"
Caroline gagged at the caretaker's nickname for his pet "Urgh…is he into bestiality?" Iris opted to ignore that.
They watched as Filch's smarmy look slipped off of his face, the man clearly realised that the twelve year old did some snooping, his face morphed into a red colour. "Have you-did you read-"
"No" little Iris lied quickly; she rolled her eyes seeing the expression on the others faces. The caretaker mumbled some nonsense and dismissed her. Little Iris wasted no time and literally ran out of the office. Klaus and the others trailed after her they followed her down the corridor and up a flight of stairs.
"Iris! Iris did it work?" nearly headless Nick came gliding out of a classroom; Rebekah saw a large black and gold cabinet that appeared to have been drooped from a great height. "I persuaded Peeves to crash it right over Filch's office" the ghost announce "thought it might distract him"
"See told you it was a distraction" Damon smiled smugly at Stefan, who shook his head. "Off they go"
"Come on" Elijah led the way as the followed after the odd duo, which consisted of the ghost and a sodden covered preteen.
"I wish there was something I could do for you about the Headless Hunt Nick" little Iris said.
"Aww" Caroline cooed, "so cute" she gushed "and now you've walked through him creepy" she shuddered, as Nick came to a sudden stop causing little Iris to waltz through him.
"How does it feel?" Jeremy asked curiously
"It's like going through an icy shower" Iris replied "look…there" to prove her point little Iris shivered and spun around so that she was facing Nick.
"But there is something you could do for me" Nick said excitedly, causing Alaric to shake his head this was really weird the hunter thought. "Iris-would I be asking too much-but no, you wouldn't want to-"
"Oh my god just spit it out" Damon rolled his icy blue eyes.
"You are aware that they can't hear you right?" Rebekah scoffed, and glared at the male vampire when he smirked at her. Iris's emerald green orbs darted between the pair; she did wonder what happened between the pair. She noticed that any little snippet or comment made by the eldest Salvatore Rebekah would shoot down.
"What is it?" little Iris asked, gaining their attention.
"Well, this Halloween will be my five hundredth Deathday" said nearly headless Nick
"Oh-"
"And that's the expression on her face when she is thinking 'What the hell should I do?" Klaus commented causing Iris to glare at him. She whacked his chest
"Do you know every expression on my face?" she huffed.
"Of course I do love" Klaus smirked, the others were too busy watching the scene to take notice of the couple, he caught the hand that she had hit him with and pressed a kiss on her knuckles.
"I'm holding a party down in one of the roomier dungeons-"
"Don't say a word" barked Rebekah seeing Damon opening his mouth.
"-Friends, will be coming all over the country, it would be such an honour if you would attend. Mr Weasly and Miss Granger would be most welcome of course-but I dare say you'd rather go to the school feast-"Nick said.
"But knowing Iris she'll be obliged to go" Elijah murmured into his brother's ear, low enough so the others wouldn't hear. Klaus nodded in agreement knowing his girl had a good heart.
"No" little Iris shook her head, sending her chaotic curls everywhere, Rebekah had the urge to thoroughly brush it for her "I'll come-"
"My dear girl" nearly headless Nick said joyfully "Iris Potter, at my Deathday Party! And do you think you could possibly mention to Sir Patrick how very frightening and impressive you find me?"
"Of-of course" little Iris choked out.
Alaric snorted and Jeremy shook his head, comparing this certain ghost to the ones they had to deal with Nick was like a teddy bear.
"Eww…you're going to a party full of dead people" Caroline scrunched up her nose.
Iris cocked an eyebrow "Erm…I've been to parties with dead people before, you and practically everyone here" Caroline muttered something under her breath realising that the immortal teen was right.
"Are we going to move along? I feel like Barbie is killing my brain cells" Damon drawled, Caroline whacked him on the back of the head and Elena rolled her eyes.
They landed in a large dungeon, where it was crowded with ghosts. Elena, Jeremy and Alaric all blanched seeing the rotted foods on the large table.
"Where are you?" Caroline asked
"There-"Kol easily spotted the trio of preteens, it wasn't too difficult since they were the only beings that were here.
"That cake looks moulded" Elena commented, it was a grey cake and had 'Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington died 31st October, 1493' written across in green icing.
Iris drew in a quick breath…her heart sank the icing on the cake just reminded her that this would be the anniversary of her parents death. Klaus frowned and looked down at her; he felt her tensing beside her.
"Iris-"but she just shook her head, he decided to talk to her once they were out of this.
"Ok that is one of the weirdest things I've seen" Alaric declared, seeing a ghost crouching low with its mouth handing wide open as he walked through a stinking salmon. Iris grinned, she couldn't wait to see some of the other sights that this particular world had to offer.
"Can you taste it if you walk through it?" they heard little Iris ask
"Almost" the ghost said sadly and drifted away.
"Yeah he is full of joy" Kol muttered shaking his head. And saw the bushy haired girl opening her mouth
"I expect they've let it rot to give it a stronger flavour" said Hermonie knowledgably. Jeremy scoffed hearing that.
"Can we move? I feel sick-"
"Of course he'll feel sick. Puny weak willed ingrate" Klaus sniped glaring at the red head boy, Iris decided to ignore him.
The trio of twelve year olds went to walk away but they were accosted by the poltergeist known as Peeves,
"Hello Peeves" little Iris greeted him.
"Ergh terrible sense of taste" Caroline frowned, seeing the poltergeist wearing a bright orange party hat, and a revolting yellow bow tie.
"Nibbles?" Jeremy balked seeing Peeves holding out a bowl full of peanuts that were covered in fungus.
"Ok that's gross" Alaric gagged.
"No thanks" Hermonie declined
"Please don't tell me you had some?" Elijah looked at Iris, the rave n head rolled her emerald green orbs, he wouldn't put it pass the petite teen to snatch a handful to please the poltergeist.
"Pfft…no way" Iris shook her head.
"Hear you talking about poor Myrtle" said Peeves,
"What?" Stefan asked
"Oh Hermonie was bitching about the girl ghost that lives in the toilets" Iris said casaually, Damon licked his lips, he wasn't even surprised that much truth be told.
"Of course she would be bitch, she is a bitch" Rebekah said spitefully.
"Ok" Iris said loudly "we're twelve here. So no comments…yet"
Rebekah shrugged her shoulders; Iris got the feeling that her words wouldn't stop the Original.
"Rude you were about poor Myrtle" Elijah quirked an eyebrow wondering why this creature was so concerned about a girl ghost "OY! MYRTLE" now the dark haired Original understood, Peeves wanted to cause trouble.
"Oh no Peeves, don't tell her that I said, she'll be really upset" they heard Hermonie whispered frantically. "I didn't mean it. I don't mind her-"
"Too late" Caroline sang in a sing-song voice, seeing a girl who she could only assume was Myrtle appearing in front of the three twelve year olds.
"Hello Myrtle" little Iris smiled at her. Klaus cocked an eyebrow, ok this girl had to be one of the gummiest girl he had ever come across. But then again she was dead, so he couldn't really fault her.
"What?" Myrtle said sulkily
"How are you Myrtle?" said Hermonie, in a falsely bring voice. "Nice to see you out of the toilet" Caroline snickered at that. Iris's lips morphed into a grin that was terrible.
"Miss Grander was just talking about you-"they watched as Peeves whispered slyly into Mytle's voice.
"Just saying-saying-how nice you look tonight" spluttered Hermonie, Rebekah's eyebrow quirked at that, really? She thought she gave the girl ghost a once over and came to a conclusion. This Myrtle character looked terrible.
"You're making fun of me" Elena saw silver tears coming out of Myrtle's eyes.
"No honestly, didn't I just say how nice Myrtle was looking?" said Hermonie, nudging little Iris and Ron.
"Oh, yeah-"
"She did…"
"Oh my god" Kol chuckled "that sweetness was sooo lame" he put empathises on the last words.
"OK I am a better liar now" Iris muttered folding her arms across her chest…"I don't lie-"she added seeing the looks Klaus and Elijah were giving her.
"Look even the ghost knows you're lying" Stefan said seeing Myrtle launching herself in front of the three preteens, causing them to stumble back.
"Don't lie to me. Do you think I don't know what people call me behind my back? Fat Myrtle! Ugly Myrtle! Miserable, moaning, moping Mytle!" she spat.
"Huh…nice alliteration there" Alaric uttered causing Jeremy to look at him in slight disbelief. They saw the ghost burst out in anguished sobs, causing Damon to think that she was emotionally unbalanced.
"You've missed out spotty" Peeves hissed into her ear. With that the girl ghost glided across the room, all the whilst sobbing her heart out.
Damon grinned "Is it wrong I find him funny?" he laughed
"Yes" all the females snapped in unison.
"Ah the man of the party has arrived" Klaus said seeing nearly headless Nick drifting towards little Iris and her companions.
"Enjoying yourselves?" he asked.
"Oh yes" the preteens lied, Iris could feel the looks she was getting and sighed
"Fine I was a terrible liar happy?" she questioned "now shut up and watch" she ordered.
"Not a bad turnout" said nearly headless Nick proudly. "The Wailing Widow came all the way up from Kent…it's nearly time for my speech. I'd better go and warn the orchestra-"but the orchestra fell silent, Elijah picked up the sound of a hunting horn.
"Oh here we go" said nearly headless Nick bitterly.
"What?" Elena asked in confusion not knowing what was going on, her question was soon answered though when the dungeons walls burst, a dozen ghost horses, each ridden by a headless horsemen. Jeremy found this sight was slightly disturbing.
The crowd par the three preteens all clapped loudly, Iris and the others watched as the horses galloped into the middle of the dance floor. Damon noticed that little Iris seem to realise that whoever these headless horsemen weren't a friend of Nick. Stefan saw a large ghost at the front, and Klaus seemed to pull Iris back slightly, and wrapped his arm around her waist instinctively. The ghost strolled over to Nick,
"Nick" he roared "how are you? Head still hanging in there?"
"So lame" Damon muttered at the jibe.
"Welcome Patrick" said Nick stiffly
"Live 'uns" Elijah concluded that this must be the ghost that was in charge of the club that Nick wanted to join. Rebekah couldn't help but roll her eyes when the ghost gave a mock jump causing his head to fall off. The crowd howled with laughter.
"Very amusing" nearly headless Nick said darkly. Kol shook his head; this ghost couldn't make it more obvious that he despised the other fatter ghost.
"Don't mind Nick!" shouted Sir Patrick's head from the floor. "Still upset we won't let him join the Hunt! But I mean to say look at the fellow-"
"I think" Klaus watched little Iris said hurriedly "Nick is very frightening and-er-
"Ha" yelled Sir Patrick's head "Bet he asked you to say that!"
"Ergh" Rebekah scoffed "even male ghosts are brutes"
"Got that right" Caroline muttered.
Stefan saw nearly headless Nick standing on a podium "If I could have everyone's attention, it's time for my speech" he called the crowd, Alaric could see that the only ones who were paying attention to the ghost was little Iris and her companions. "My late lamented lords, ladies and gentlemen; it is my great sorrow-"the rest of the speech was drowned out as Sir Patrick and the rest of the Headless Hint had just started a game of head hockey. The group noticed little Iris's face, it was a picture of annoyance.
"Is he leaving his own party?" Elena frowned seeing the friendly ghost about to walk out. Iris bit her bottom lip, she remembered this part vividly. They watched as Sir Patrick's head went sailing over little Iris's head. Damon saw little Iris pulling out her wand and shooting sparks gaining the party's attention.
"Hey" the little raven head shouted
"Can you even climb that?" Kol snorted watching little Iris climbing onto the podium that Nick had been on. "You are being very, very rude" little Iris scolded the crowd. "Yeah look ashamed…-"
"Little girl you have no right to-"Sir Patrick's head called out
"You have no right to be like this at Nick's party. You're an old goat-"there was gasps around the room from the other ghosts. Jeremy saw a grey lady in the corner with an amused smile on her face.
"Nick…you don't need join this prissy lot in their club" little Iris called out. Klaus followed her gaze and saw that the ghost was standing in the dungeons doorway, Nick was dead set on walking out. "You're much tougher than them-"
"Really?" Sir Patrick scoffed
"Shut up" little Iris snapped, causing Damon and the others to snicker, "how can you be tough? One blow to the neck and your head is gone? Please if anyone here is a tough ghost its Nick. He sustained forty something whacks to his neck and it still remains on. To Sir Nicholas…a very tough ghost and happy Deathday" the twelve year old raven head declared. There was a moment of silence before the crowd cheered and clapped "Nick don't you have a speech to give?"
"SPEECH, SPEECH, SPEECH-"the ghost crowd chanted. Little Iris hopped off of the podium and scurried towards her grinning friends.
"Finally someone told Sir Patrick" Hermonie grinned revealing her buckteeth.
"Yeah…can we go now?" Ron asked "this place is…not fun"
"A Deathday would never be-"
"Ok. Let's go" Iris followed her past self with the others trailing behind her.
The group followed after the trio, and Elijah frowned when the travelled down a dark corridor that was only lit with candles. He got the feeling that something was at the other end.
They saw little Iris freeze…and then they heard it as well "…rip…tear…kill…"
Caroline swallowed realising that this was the same voice that little Iris and them heard when she had detention with the golden haired teacher. Klaus grasped onto his own Iris when he saw her former self clutching onto the stone walls.
"Iris, what're you-?"They saw Hermonie approach the smaller girl
"It's that voice again…shut up a minute-"little Iris ordered causing Kol to snicker, he was glad to see the more bold side of the girl.
"…soo hungry…for so long…" Elena shuddered hearing that voice it was monstrous.
"Listen" little Iris said urgently, Elijah knew that her two friends wouldn't be able to hear a thing, since they didn't possess the same ability as she did. It was proven when he saw the expression on Ron's and Hermonie's faces.
"…kill…time to kill…"the voice seem to be growing fainter, which eased Klaus somewhat, knowing that now Iris was safer. But that was blown to hell when he saw the look of excitement and fear on her face. Her green orbs darted upward.
"This way" little Iris shouted and began to run. Forcing Hermonie, Ron and the group to chase after her.
"Why would you run towards danger?" Klaus grunted as they ran up a flight of stairs, and then another marble staircase that led to the first floor.
"Iris what-"
"Ssh" little Iris hissed and strained her ears, Klaus and the others didn't need to, as they heard the next part clearly "…I smell blood…I SMELL BLOOD-"Elijah's eyes darted upwards that's where the sound was coming from, he frowned…it was like it was coming from the walls.
"It's going to kill someone" little Iris shouted and ran up the next flight of stairs. Stefan had to grab on to Elena's hand and pull her since the doppelganger was lagging behind them.
They were now on the second floor and much to Klaus's annoyance a deserted passageway. This was just asking for trouble.
"Iris-"Caroline gagged seeing the sweat pouring off of Ron's face "what was that about? I couldn't hear anything-"but Hermonie let out a startled gasp.
"Look?" they could make out something shining on the wall. Jeremy looked down and saw that the passage was flooded with water.
"Whoa" Damon exclaimed seeing the writing on the wall, it read 'THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPENED. ENEMIES OF THE HEIR, BEWARE.'
"What's that?" Alaric frowned seeing something hanging beneath it, they saw little Iris moving towards the thing along with her two friends. But they all jumped back at the same time when they realised what it was.
"Ergh-"Elena pressed her face into Stefan's chest when they all saw that it was Mrs Norris, the cat looked dead.
"Ok…just back away and run" Kol urged them.
"Yeah not going to happen" Iris muttered, they could make out the sound of oncoming students.
"Fantastic" Rebekah drawled seeing the students all crowding around. The happy chatter immediately died down when they saw the wall.
The brief stint of silence was interrupted when a voice declared "Enemies of the heir beware. You'll be next, Mudbloods!" Damon saw that it was Draco Malfoy. He couldn't wait to find out how Iris and him became friends. The platinum blond haired boy seemed like a real dick here.
"Oh come on. Sorry sweets you're never going to catch are you?" Kol shook his head hearing of all people Filch stumbling onto the scene.
"What's going on here? What's going on?" the caretaker shouldered his way through the crowd,
"You should really move away" Jeremy advised
Iris rolled her eyes "Seriously? I can't here you! This already happened" she declared. And saw Filch's eyes land on his strung up cat. "My cat! My cat! What's happened to Mrs Norris?" he shrieked his eyes landed on little Iris who was the closest to the dead looking cat "You! You killed my cat, I'll kill you-"Klaus's lips thinned, and Elijah's eyes darkened when Filch launched himself at little Iris, but much to anyone's surprise someone intercepted blocking the small raven head it was Severus Snape.
"Enough" the potion master ordered Iris sighed…she really should have connected with the man. But he made it so hard
"She-"
"Argus" Dumbledore had arrived on the scene, along with other teachers. And much to the group's annoyance Lockhart had tagged along. Damon snorted wondering what this man could do?
They all watched as Dumbledore stepped pass the group of children and inspected the cat. "Come with me Argus…you too Miss Potter, Mr Weasly, Miss Granger!" he ordered them as the rest of the students were dismissed.
"My office is the nearest-"Gilderoy informed the headmaster. Iris's lips twitched in amusement when she saw the groups look of annoyance.
The scene shifted so that now they were all standing in Lockhart's classroom, Kol took in the sight of the numerous portraits of the man, god and people say he's vain.
Klaus watched as the aged wizard gazing down at the cat…his long crooked nose just skimming the cat's torso. They saw Lockhart fluttering around the headmaster putting suggestions forwards.
"It was definitely a curse that killed her-probably the Transmogrifian Torture.-"
"Is that even a real curse?" Caroline asked.
Iris's brows knitted together and she shook her head, huh…come to think of it she never heard of that curse before. They all tuned out the rest of Lockhart's words, Iris looked at the group and rolled her eyes, everyone par Elijah and Alaric were all gazing around the room examining it.
"Ok…now something interesting is happening" Iris declared when Dumbledore finally straightened up.
"She's not dead Argus-"Dumbledore said softly, Elijah was impressed to anyone else it would look as if the creature was dead. But this wizard figured it out.
"No dead?" Rebekah heard the caretaker choked out. "But why's she all-all frozen and stiff?"
"Good question" Alaric muttered shoving his hands into the pockets of his jeans.
"She has been petrified." Announced the headmaster.
"Ah I thought so-"Lockhart said.
"I never thought I would find someone more annoying than Stefan. But I did" Damon uttered, causing his brother to shoot him a dirty look.
"But alas how I cannot say-"Dumbledore shook his head.
"Ask her-"Filch screeched glaring at the small raven head. Klaus's jaw clenched
"No second year could have done this" the silver haired wizard murmured "it would take Dark Magic of the most advanced-"
"She did it, she did it" the caretaker spat, and went to take a step forward but ever so discreetly Snape blocked the man's path "You saw what she wrote on the wall-"Chamber of secrets? Elijah thought now this was interesting puzzle. "She found –in my office-she knows I'm-I'm a-she knows I'm a squib" he cried.
"I never touched Mrs Norris" little Iris said loudly, her cheeks turning pink, indicating that she was annoyed "And I don't even know what a squib is"
"Rubbish" snarled Filch "she saw my Kwikspell letter!"
Alaric sighed, this was all getting out of hand "Potter and her friends may have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.-"
"Whoa" Damon muttered "he's actually being helpful" Stefan nodded in agreement, knowing that the man hated the raven head.
"But we do have a set of suspicious circumstances here. Why were they in the upstairs corridor at all? Why weren't they at the Halloween feast?"
"Oh…he's got you there sweetness" Kol uttered wondering how the three were going to get out of this. He watched as all three preteens launched themselves into a tale as they told the adults about the 'Deathday Party'
"Why not join the feast afterwards?" said Snape, Stefan had to hand it to the man, he was swift. They saw Ron and Hermonie looking at little Iris, waiting for what she would sat "Because, because-"she spluttered.
"Why don't you just tell them?" Jeremy frowned
"And what? Make them think I'm crazy? Not even in the wizarding world hearing voices is a good thing" Iris explained. But thought they thought she was crazy in her fifth year…merlin that year was going to be terrible.
"Because we were tired, and wanted to go bed" little Iris lied.
"Without any supper?" Rebekah could see that from the expression on the potion's master face, he thought he had them "I don't think ghosts provided food fir for living people and their parties"
"We weren't hungry-"Caroline winced as soon as those words came out of Ron's mouth his stomach rumbled loudly.
A nasty smile appeared on Snape's face "I suggest, Headmaster, that Potter is not being entirely truthful. It might be a good idea if she were deprived of certain privliges until she is ready to tell us the whole story. I personally feel she should be taken off the Gryffindor Quidditch team until she is ready to be honest-"
"And here is another dick" Damon drawled.
Iris smiled at that, she looked at Klaus from the corner he still had a grip around her waist. She couldn't help but giggle at what McGonagall said.
"Really Severus I see no reason for the girl to stop playing Quidditch. This cat wasn't it over the head with a broomstick. There is no evidence at all that Potter has done anything wrong"
"I think he knows you're hiding something" Klaus murmured seeing the searching look the headmaster was giving the little raven head. "Innocent until proven guilty Severus" he said firmly.
"Iris it would have been easier for you to just tell him the truth" Elijah sighed, nothing could done easily. He saw the hook nose man's face morph into one of fury as did Filch's face.
"My cat has been petrified" Elena licked her lips seeing the man's eyes bulging "I want to see some punishment."
"We will be able to cure her, Argus" said Dumbledore patiently "Professor Sprout recently managed to procure some Mandrakes. As soon as they have reached their full size, I will have a potion made which will revive Mrs Norris."
"Huh…is it me or do any of you find it odd that this particular requires Mandrakes potion…and they just have it" Klaus uttered, he found it odd.
They watched as Lockhart amble over to the headmaster "I'll make it. I must have done it a hundred times, I could whip it up a Mandrake Restorative Draught in my sleep-"the group didn't believe him for a second. The man didn't even realise that the cat was petrified to begin with.
"Excuse me-"said Snape icily, damn Caroline thought the slick haired man's present tone could literally freeze hell. "But I believe I am the Potions masters at this school"
"Oh bitch got told" Damon snorted, there was an awkward moment of silence in the classroom. Giving Dumbledore ample opportunity to dismiss the trio.
The scene shifted and they landed in one of the Quidditch stands, the stadium was filled with roaring and cheering students, Jeremy saw the emerald green/silver flags as well as red and gold flags.
Quidditch season was fully underway.
"There you are" Caroline whistled getting into the mood as the teams walked out into the pitch. She could tell this match was full of anticipation, since the crowd went wild as there were cheers and boos erupting from the student population.
"Ah…so they got better brooms" Kol drawled eying the broomsticks that the Slytherin's were holding. The group was easily able to hear what was going on in the pitch, since after all this was Iris's memory. So everything she heard they would hear.
"On my whistle-"said Madame Hooch "three…two…one-"she vlew and there was a roar from the crowd. Jeremy watched in awe as fourteen players rose into the air.
"Damn we have to try this game" Jeremy muttered
"No kidding" Alaric said, his eyes were large and focused on the scene. Klaus spotted little Iris she was higher than all of them, which put him somewhat on edge, Iris didn't even blink when the hybrid held her firmly against him.
"Ergh…there's the little shit" Damon exclaimed seeing Malfoy showing off the speed of his broom.
"Alright there scar head?" he yelled at little Iris.
"Pathetic insult" Rebekah drawled and tucked a loose curl behind her ear "Whoa-"she gasped when a heavy black object came pelting towards the little raven head, but before it could hit her one of the Weasly twins pelted it away from her.
"Close one Iris-"
Elijah sighed seeing the red head teen streaking after the black object. But then frowned when it stopped mid-air and made a beeline towards Iris, she dropped just managed to avoid it. Rebekah urged the raven head to shoot off in the other direction which she did, but the bludger streaked after her.
"What the hell?" Klaus growled as the other Weasly twin batted it away.
"It's been tampered with" Elijah declared, Stefan nodded it was only going after Iris and not one of the other players.
"Oh great, shit weather has arrived" Alaric muttered when it started to rain, they knew that the Slytherin were winning so far. Damon heard the whistle being blow signalling for a time out. Once again they could hear what was being said in the small huddle that the Gryffindor team had created.
"What's going on?" Caroline recognised as the teen who had trained Iris in her first year, he was still dreamy, she didn't miss the look of amusement on Iris's face, and damn it was almost as if she knew what the blond vampire was thinking. "We're being flattened, Fred, George where were you when the Bludger stopped Angelina from scoring?"
Stefan's jaw dropped "Has he had no clue that you were being chase by that thing?" he asked Iris. She smiled ruefully "Wood was really into the game" she shrugged her shoulders.
"We were twenty feet above her, stopping the other Bludger from murdering Iris, Oliver" said one of the twins angrily "Someone's fixed it, it won't leave Iris alone, it hasn't gone for anyone else all fame. The Slytherins must have done something-"
"Rigging that thing needs more than just a simple jinx" Elijah murmured, not buying the idea it was one of the students.
"Listen-"they heard little Iris burst out "with you two flying round me al the time the only way I'm going to catch the Snitch is if it flies up my sleeve. Go back o the rest of the team and let me deal with the rogue one"
"Oh my god…sweetness you do have a death wish don't you?" Kol shook his head, and didn't miss the way his brother seems to stiffen. Iris winced feeling Klaus's grip on her tightened
"Don't be thick-"one of Weasly snapped, Stefan agreed with him "it'll take your head off."
They watched as the captain looked between the Wesley and Iris "Oliver this is mad, we can't let Iris deal with that thing on her own. Lets' ask for an inquiry-"
"If we stop now we forfeit the match" snapped little Iris "we're not losing to the Slytherin just because of a mad Bludger! Just tell them to leave me alone-"
"Ok you were a nutter when you was young" Caroline declared.
"You cared more about a match than your own safety?" Elijah casted her a disapproving look. Iris smiled sheepishly
"Erm…I just really wanted to win?" she said weakly. Klaus glared at her forcing her to look away, oh merlin she was going to get a scolding, she could just tell.
They saw the team flying back into the game, and true to their word the twins left Iris on her own to deal with the fixed Bludger, Klaus wiled for Iris to find the snitch quickly. The crowd gasped when little Iris kicked into the air, and rolled on her broom just managing to dodge an oncoming bludger. They watched as Iris looped around the stadium, through the heavy rain.
"Oh-"Jeremy cringed when the bludger was an inch away from the little girl's head, she dodged out of the way. They had to hand it to Iris, she did have mad skills.
"Training for the ballet Potter?" yelled Malfoy.
"Wow…what a shit" Alaric snorted, and laughed as did the others when the snitch hovered just behind Malfoy's ear. The boy was too busy laughing to even notice it. They all tensed when Iris hanged mid-air, she stay still for a moment too long. They all cringed when the Bludger smashed into Iris's elbow; the vampires heard the distinct sound of a bone snapping. Klaus bit down hard on his lips, his hackles rising knowing that she was hurt.
"Damn sweets…you're still going for it" Kol uttered seeing Iris diving towards Malfoy, the blond haired boy who hastily moved out of the way thinking that she was going to attack him. Elijah tensed seeing she was holding onto her broom with one hand and reached out with that one and clumsily snatched the snitch from the air.
Klaus sagged in relief but his moment was over when Iris careened towards the ground and fainted.
The scene shifted so now the group was crowded around little Ava,
"Oh come on" Damon shook his head seeing Lockhart kneeling beside the preteen, they saw Iris coming round and moaned "Oh no…not you-"
"Doesn't know what she's saying" Lockhart said to Iris's teammates was beginning to gather around. "Not to worry Iris, I'm about to fix your arm"
"No" little Iris yelped "I'll keep it like this-"with that she started to crawl away but Lockhart pulled her back.
"Yeah you have no luck" Stefan muttered seeing now Colin Creevy arriving and was snapping pictures of her.
"I don't want a photo Colin" little Iris groaned.
"Lie back Iris-"
"Grow a pair of balls" she snapped, causing her teammates to roar with laughter and Klaus and the others to chuckle.
"Doesn't know what she's saying…maddened with the pain" Lockhart smiled revealing his very white teeth. "It's a simple enough charm, I've used it countless of times,"
"Why can't I just go to the hospital wing?" little Iris whined
"She really should Professor" said the muddy captain "excellent catch Iris, your best ever I'd say-"
"Wood?" the small pain reddened girl shouted
"Yeah-"
"Go away….and stop-"Iris snapped seeing Lockhart rolling his eyes.
"Oh damn" Jeremy muttered watching as Lockhart pulled out his wand, he saw little Iris clenching her eyes shut as he waved his wand over. Iris shuddered in Klaus's arm, that feeling had been unpleasant and strange.
"What the hell?" Klaus spat…seeing that Iris's arm now resembled a mass of flesh. Colin was still snapping pictures away.
"Yeah…he got rid of my bones" Iris hummed.
They now landed in the Hospital wing, they could tell that night had set in since it was dark. "There you are" Stefan spotted the sleeping raven head. Klaus frowned seeing the look of pain crossing her features.
"What's going on?" Rebekah asked
"I have to regrow my bones. Not the most pleasant experience-"they were startled when there was a loud crack.
"Damn" Alaric whistled "you sure can sleep…and this is getting creepy" he added seeing the house elf Dobby sponging little Iris's forehead.
Little Iris's shot awake feeling the cold water against her skin "Get off! Dobby—"
"Is he crying?" Jeremy gaped at the house-elf seeing a tear running down his cheek.
"Iris Potter came back to school" the elf whispered miserably "Dobby warned and warned Iris Potter! Ah Miss why didn't you heed Dobby? Why didn't Iris Potter go back home when she missed the train?" Elena frowned wondering how the elf knew about that. Little Iris heave up on to her pillows so she was sitting up.
"What are you doing here?...Merlin it was you who blocked the barrier" little Iris said staring wide eye at the elf.
"Indeed Miss" said Dobby nodding causing his bat-like ears to flat, Caroline canted her head to the side it did look cute. "Dobby hid and watched for Iris Potter and sealed the gateway and Dobby had to iron his hands afterwards-"Elena cringed at that "but Dobby didn't care, Miss for he thought Iris Potter was safe and never did Dobby dream that Iris Potter would get to school another way"
Damon whistled "You have the craziest stalkers every" he looked at her. She grinned
"I know"
"Why did you come back Miss Potter-"Dobby blew into the cloth that he was wearing,
"Eww" Rebekah frowned
Little Iris watched the elf "Why do you wear that thing Dobby?" she asked curiosity brimming from her.
"Something I'd like to know" Stefan muttered
"This Miss? Tis a mark of the house-elf's enslavement, Miss. Dobby can only be freed if his masters present him with clothes miss. The family is careful not to pass Dobby even a sock, miss. For then he would be free to leave their house forever-"
"That sounds terrible" Elena whispered to Stefan who merely nodded. They watched as Dobby wiped his big green eyes.
"Iris Potter must go home! Dobby thought his Bludger would be enough to make-"Elijah's eyes narrowed at what he just said.
"Your bludger?" said little Iris,
"Aww…so adorable when you're angry" Kol grinned seeing little Iris's cheeks turning pink
"Your bludger? You made it try and kill me?" she asked.
They were all floored by the house elf's defence "Not to kill you. Dobby wants to save iris Potter's life! Better sent home, grievously injured than to remain here, miss! Dobby wanted Iris Potter hurt enough to be sent home!"
"Oh wow…ok" little Iris said sarcastically "is there a reason why you wanted me to be sent home in pieces?" she asked.
"There has to be something he knows" Klaus uttered
"Ah, if Iris Potter only knew!" Dobby groaned "If she knew what he she means to us, to the lowly, the enslaved, us dregs of magical world-"
"Ok he's got low self-esteem" Damon commented
Iris sent him a look of disbelief "He's a slave"
"Dobby remembers how it was when He Who Must Not Be Named-"
"Voldemort-"Iris told the others.
"-was at the height of his power miss! We house-elves were treated like vermin miss. Of course, Dobby is still treated like that, miss-"
"Aww" Caroline gushed when the elf wiped his eyes.
"But mostly miss, life has improved for my kind, since you triumphed over He Who Must Not Be Named. And now, at Hogwarts, terrible things are to happen. Are perhaps happening already, and Dobby cannot let Iris Potter stay here now that history is to repeat itself, now that the Chamber of Secrets is open once again-"the elf froze letting out too much.
"Wow…so that was real" Damon muttered under his breath. They watched as the small raven head tried to get more out of the house elf, but Dobby refused and started to hit himself. But then they all heard the sound of footsteps.
"Dobby must go" the house elf vanished. Little Iris rolled over and pretended to be asleep. They watched as Dumbledore and McGonagall holding what appeared to be a statue. It took Jeremy a moment to realise it was a boy…in fact it was Colin Creevy.
"That doesn't look good" Kol uttered as they all inched forward, Klaus looked down at the past Iris and saw her eyes peeking out from the covers.
"What happened?" Madame Pomfrey asked
"Another attack" said Dumbledore gravely, they realised it was the same thing that attacked the caretaker's cat "Minerva found him on the stairs"
"There was a bunch of grapes net to him, we think he was trying to sneak in here to visit Potter" little Iris shifted slightly so she could see what was going on, Alaric saw that the eleven year old boy's eyes were wide open. It was eerie.
"Petrified?" whispered Madam Pomfrey
"Yes, but I shudder to think…if Albus hadn't been on his way down who knows what might've happened."
"You don't think he managed to get a picture of his attacker?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"I doubt it" Elijah murmured, they watched as Dumbledore opened the back of the camera but steam had hissed from it. They smelt the putrid smell of burn plastic.
"What does this mean Albus?" said Professor McGonagall urgently
"It means that the Chamber of Secrets is indeed open again." He revealed.
"The elf was right, bad things are about to happen" Elijah declared. They felt a tug in their guts alerting that their time was up for now. Iris felt herself flying upwards, and gripped tightly onto Klaus's hand.
AN: Apologies for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
So Yeah I finally updated. I hadn't even realised it's nearly been a year till one of you guys pointed it out. I am incredibly sorry...for such a long wait. I'm not going to bore you with excuses...I'll give you one though. I wrote out some chapters of this fic before but the whole fic got deleted. And I sort of fell out of love with it. I didn't wanted to publish half-hearted chaps.
So in this chap-We see Iris meeting Nick...she gets dragged away by Filch. There's a distraction, Iris hovers in between and finally leaves. She gets invited to a party. where the food is terrible. Little Iris shouts at the ghosts and the Writing on the Wall appears. Little Iris is accused. Klaus and Elijah are annoyed when it comes across as Iris being worried more about the game instead of her safety. Lockhart pisses them all off. Dobby visits Iris, Caroline gushes. and they learn that chamber has been open.
Next Chap- Duelling club. Polyjuice Potion and a Very Secret Diary. (I'm going to attempt to get it out in 2-3 weeks, but if i do it before than i'll post it.
