"Ok….. ready?" Caroline asked seriously.
Iris grinned "More than ever" she exclaimed and rolled her shoulders. Kol cocked an eyebrow and looked up from his position.
"Really sweetness it's only a game of twister" Kol snickered.
"Not just that." Iris uttered "It's girls vs boys…and we're going to wipe the floor with you" she exclaimed.
"Ok…"Stefan spun the wheel, they had returned from the pensive earlier and after dinner Iris, Kol, Jeremy, Damon, Elena and Caroline all had congregated in the front room where they ended up finding a game of Twister. After a few words between the group they ended up challenging one another.
Stefan being the broody vampire he was opted to sit out of this game. Klaus and the other Originals as well as Alaric were in their rooms doing Merlin knows what. "Iris…left hand on green" he instructed. "I'll be back. I need a snack" Stefan exclaimed and blurred out of the room.
"Really? My butt is going to be in Kol's face" she whined
"Yeah…I don't mind it" Kol smirked, he was right behind her, and Damon was sprawled out in front of her meaning she would have to be over him.
"I do" Iris muttered but did as she was instructed. Caroline rolled her eyes when she saw the Original canting his head to the side. She walloped him on the back of the head.
"Hey-"
"No staring" Caroline uttered.
"Hello flower…you know I can see down your top?" Damon smirked, Iris's eyes widened.
"Wait what-"she made the mistake of removing one of her hands. Her balance wasn't stable enough plus Kol just then slapped her bottom, sending her sprawling down to the floor.
"Hey so-"Stefan returned with a blood bag and took in the scene, there was a pile of vampires, humans and an Immortal all in a heap. "I was gone for a minute-"
"Yeah well Kol is a cheater" Iris pouted and hit the vampire in the face she didn't expect to hit him in the nose.
"Iris-"Kol growled.
"Erm…well" Iris ignored the groans and yells as her knees and elbows as she crawled out of the piles of bodies "You deserve it and…"she didn't finish her sentence instead Iris spun on her heel and ran.
"Oh yeah she's a great Gryffindor-"Jeremy snickered, Kol grinned
"No she's smart. She knows when to choose her battles." The Original smirked and sped after her. Iris turned the corner and looked over her shoulder to see if Kol was following her. She slammed into something hard.
"Kol-"
"A punch to the nose?" he took a predatory step towards her, it would have been frightening if there wasn't a large smile on the raven head's face.
"Well…"she took a step back "it would have happened eventually and-"she squealed when he blurred towards her and flung her onto his shoulder. "KLAUS…KOL IS BEING A PRAT" she shrieked, he had returned to the drawing room and dropped her onto the couch. There was more than one drawing room in this place; this one was lined with books.
"A prat am I?" he towered above her. A menacing grin on his face
"Yep-"she squeaked and burst into giggles when he attacked her sides, it was no secret that Iris was very ticklish. "No-"she squirmed and laughed loudly
"Am I a prat?" he questioned and managed to easily avoid her flaying limbs.
"Yes-"she wheezed and her eyes welled up with tears and yelped.
"A prat?"
"Noo…"she could barely breath she was laughing so hard. Her cheeks were pink and she was breathless "you're not you're not-"she squirmed "ELIJAH-"just then the Original was gone. She looked through blurry eyes and saw Elijah holding Kol back.
"Really?" Kol asked
Elijah cocked an eyebrow "Yes. Now it's late you both should be off to bed" he said the last part aiming it more at Iris.
"Oh-"this time both Iris and Kol pouted causing Elijah to think perhaps he was dealing with two children "but-"
"Now." He said sternly. Iris huffed and bid them goodnight. Iris yawned and stretched her arms above her head she was tired from the day. She entered the bedroom and looked around, she saw that Klaus wasn't around and shrugged her shoulders.
Iris rolled her shoulder and walked into the attached bathroom, and eyed the claw foot tub…hmm come to think of it she hadn't actually used it. She always had a quick shower in the morning. Iris decided to have a bath…it'll help relax her. So with that thought in mind, she filled the tub up. The raven head turned the faucet off when it was filled to the brim. She stripped out of her clothes and threw them in the hamper. She raised her leg and dipped her toe in the foamy, bubbly water and sighed. It was hot, just the way she liked it. Iris slipped into the bath and sunk beneath the water. She felt her muscles immediately relaxing and let out a sigh feeling the water wash over her.
Now this was nice, she mused and flipped her hair back and felt it plaster against her pale back. Iris grabbed the loofa and lathered it in strawberry smelling soap. She was about to scrub her skin but she dropped it in surprise when she saw Klaus standing there,
"Klaus what-what are you doing?" Iris's face flushed and she gathered the bubbles so it would cover her modesty. "I-Get out"
"Well…I'm filthy love" he smirked. Her eyes widened when she saw him taking his shirt off. "And I don't like being filthy-"he mocked pouted. He could hear heart beating frantically.
"Well go find another bathroom-and you're taking your jeans off-"Iris clapped her hand over her eyes "stop taking your clothes off…"she heard the sound of clothes hitting the marble floor. "And you took your clothes off." She peered through her thin fingers and saw a very nude hybrid.
Klaus grinned "I don't know why you're so shy love…this-"he gestured towards his body "is all yours"
"You're an arse-"
"I have a fine one" Klaus swaggered over to her. He grinned when he saw her pointedly looking away from him. "If you want love you can leave"
Iris scowled and glared up at him. "I'm not leaving this is my bath" she knew he was goading her. And like always the raven head hated backing away from the challenge.
"Well then you mind scooting forward?" he didn't wait for a reply; Klaus gently pushed her forward and settled behind her. The water sloshed over the edge of the tub.
"Relax love" Klaus purred into her ear, he ran a finger down her spine causing her to shudder. He smiled wickedly loving the reaction of him.
The hybrid picked up the dropped loofa and ran it across her soft skin. Iris gasped and immediately relaxed, Klaus felt himself stir when he could hear her little gasps. He dropped the loofa and she bit down hard on her bottom lip when she felt his fingers ghosting across her ribs.
"Klaus-"she breathed, her breath hitched when he cupped her breasts and gave them a firm squeeze. He nuzzled his face into the crook of neck. Iris shifted her head to the side giving him more access to her pale column of her throat. Klaus laid wet and hot kisses. He savoured the taste of her. He growled when she dug her nails in to his thighs. Iris gasp and couldn't take it anymore. She turned around so she was facing him. Iris was on her knees and Klaus shifted so that she was in between his legs
"You…are-"
"A very dirty…filthy hybrid-"Klaus smirked and trailed a hand across her back. She shot him a glare…and leant forward smashing her lips against his. Arse of a hybrid knew he was going to drive her mad, she thought. Klaus eagerly kissed her back, their tongues clashed as well as teeth.
Iris pressed her wet supple body against his. He groaned and ran his large hands down her back, one hand tangled in her sopping wet hair, whilst the other cupped her rear forcing her even closer if that was possible, her hands buried themselves in his short hair and she pulled hard.
She pulled back; her lips were swollen and red. His eyes were dark and full of lust and love. They were drawn to her pert breast and travelled up the column of her throat. Iris didn't miss the way the veins around his eyes protruded.
"Do it" she breathed leaning down, Klaus cupped her face and ran his thumb across her bottom lip, she tensed instinctively when his lips latched onto her throat. She closed her eyes feeling him laying gentle kiss on her throat.
But then gasped when he dug his fangs into her porcelain neck, the blood ran down her neck and merged into the water turning it red. Klaus pulled back when he deemed he had enough. And smiled at her.
"I think we best dry you off." Klaus murmured, before she could blink he scooped her up and blurred them into the bathroom.
"Ok ready?" Iris asked, they were all surrounding the Pensive. She was met with nods, and clutched on tightly to Klaus's hand.
"On the count of three" Elena announced. She was anxious to get into Iris's memory. "One-"
"Two-"Caroline pitched in.
"Three" Rebekah declared and with that the group dived into the Pensive.
Iris stumbled but Klaus's grip on her steadied the teen. "Really love?" Klaus drawled "Still can't land on your feet?"
"Shove off" she huffed
"Where are we?" Jeremy asked looking around.
"Entrance Hall" Alaric uttered "and something's going on…look" they followed his gaze. Damon saw a small group of student gathered around a notice board.
"And there you are sweets." Kol spotted little Iris and her two companions walking across the Entrance Hall making their way towards the group, Klaus narrowed his eyes seeing one of the boys in Iris's year group beckoning her over. Elijah's lips twitched when he noticed this.
"Really brother?" he said low enough only allowing the hybrid to hear "jealous of a twelve year old?"
Klaus glared at him "Well…he has that scrawny look about him" he huffed. They all moved closer to the group so they could hear better.
"They're starting a Duelling Club!" Seamus said excitedly "First meeting is tonight! I wouldn't mind duelling lessons, they come in useful one of these days…"
Rebekah nodded "Hmm…makes sense what with the two attacks that already happened" she drawled.
"What do you reckon Slytherin's monster can duel?" Ron asked. "Could be useful, shall we go?" he asked the two girls.
"You should" Elijah nodded "It'll help you…it did help you right?" he questioned.
"Erm…"Iris licked her lips, it would have been better if she didn't go, it would have save the trouble of her being hated. "Just watch" she muttered. Klaus glanced down at her and frowned, something happened in this club that was clear to see.
The scene blurred by till they were all standing in the Great Hall. Stefan saw that the four long tables had been pushed aside, and all that remained was a stage in the middle.
"Damn…all these kiddies are short" Damon muttered "It's kind of scary"
"Ok…?" Alaric shook his head "Are you drunk?"
"What?" the raven head vampire asked "I had a few glasses of Bourbon-"
"We got up at seven" Stefan frowned
"Well…that's my breakfast." Damon shrugged his shoulders, he looked down to his left and saw little Iris there with her friends. He whistled "Ok…that's scary…look how small she is here…"he teased the raven head.
"Shut up" Iris huffed.
"Oh but she's small now anyway" Klaus grinned. Iris scowled and moved over to stand beside Elijah causing the dark haired Original to chuckle. He dropped his arm around her shoulders. "Really?"
"Elijah is way nicer-"
"He can't make you sc-"
"Enough" Rebekah rolled her eyes. "Can we pay attention?" she wanted to see Iris's memories, she had missed the girl she had deemed her sister very dearly and always found herself wondering what happened to her.
"I wonder who'll be teaching us?" Jeremy heard Hermonie ask "Someone told me Flitwick was a duelling champion-"Kol scoffed
"That…small thing-"
"Hey…he's small but powerful. And you know what they say good thing come in small packages" Iris defended her former Charms professor. Kol rolled his eyes but paid attention to the scene.
"As long as it's not…"little Iris began, she and the present Iris was amused to see Klaus, and the others all groan when Gilderoy Lockhart strolling down the stage.
"Ok…he is so gay" Jeremy declared "that walk…and is it me or does he just scream gay?" Iris snorted and leant against Elijah. They watched as Lockhart raised his hand silencing the crowd of students.
"Gather round, gather round!" the blond man called "Can everyone see me? Can you all hear me?"
"Ergh…prick" Kol muttered.
"Such a prick-"they heard little Iris muttered.
"Ha Iris agrees with me-"Kol grinned.
Rebekah rolled her blue eyes and watched the Professor in distaste "Now, Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little Duelling Club, to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I myself have done on countless occasions-"Elijah could tell that the man was lying "for full details see my published works-"
"I can't believe that shit can do anything" Alaric muttered. He didn't buy this…that man was too…ergh to do anything remotely useful.
"Let me introduce my assistant Professor Snape-"said Lockhart flashing a wide smile "He tells me he knows a tiny little bit about duelling himself and has sportingly agreed to hep me with a short demonstration before we begin. Now I don't want any of you youngsters to worry- you'll still have you Potions master when I'm through with him, never dear"
"Damn…"Klaus whistled "He's going to wipe the floor with him…"knowing that Snape could easily take on this fool.
"Wouldn't It be good if they finished each other off?" Ron whispered into little Iris's ear.
"Yeah it would" Caroline muttered. She could see that Snape hated the man before him, his upper lip was curled up into a snarl. "I think he should be running the opposite direction…"they watched as the two opponents bowed. Elijah cocked an eyebrow when he saw Lockhart doing a flourish bow whilst Snape jerked his head.
"Ok…that's more proof that he's gay" Damon drawled causing Iris and Jeremy to snigger. They saw both teachers raising their wands.
"As you see e are holding our wands in the accepted combative positions." Lockhart told the silent crowd "On the count of three, we will cast our first spells. Neither of us will be aiming to kill of course."
Stefan shook his head, by the look on Snape's face he wouldn't put it pass the Potions Master to do just that. "I wouldn't bet on that" they heard little Iris mutter.
"One-two-three-"
Elena saw the teachers swing their wands up and over their shoulders, Snape cried "Expelliarmus!." There was a dazzling flash of scarlet light and Lockhart was blasted off his feet, he flew backwards off of the stage, smashed into the wall and slid down into a sprawl.
Iris wasn't too surprised when Damon, Kol, Alaric and Jeremy burst into laughs. The Slytherins cheered and Hermonie danced on her tip-toes.
"Is he going to be all right?" Rebekah heard he bucktooth girl gush.
"Who cares?" little Iris and Ron said in unison.
"True who does?" Jeremy snickered, and watched as Lockhart got unsteadily onto his fee he then attempted to smooth down his wavy locks, Klaus canted his head to the side. Damn that man wears a lot of product he thought.
"Well there you have it" Lockhart exclaimed tottering back onto the stage, "that was a disarming charm as you see-"
"If he paid more attention to his opponent it wouldn't have happened." Elijah griped shaking his head, this just proved to him that all the things this man claimed to have done were all lies.
"I've lost my wand…ah thank you Miss Brown. Yes excellent idea to show them that. Professor Snape, but if you don't mind me saying so, it was very obvious what you were about to do. If I had wanted to stop you it would have been only too easy. However, I felt it would be instructive to let them see-"
"Bullshit" Damon and Kol said in unison and then proceeded to glare at one another. Iris rolled her emerald green orbs and looked back at the scene.
Iris didn't miss the murderous look on Snape's face and neither did Lockhart "Enough demonstrating! I'm going to come amongst you now and put you all into pairs. Professor Snape, if you'd like to help me…"Elena watched as they moved through the crowd, matching up partners Snape got to little Iris and her friends first.
"Time to split up the dream team I think-"Caroline frowned hearing the man sneering at the three twelve year olds "Weasly you can partner Finnigan, Potter-"Jeremy winced seeing Iris moving to stand beside Hermonie, no way in hell would the hook man nose wouldn't allow her to be with her friends "I don't think so. Mr Malfoy come here-"
"He's asking for trouble there" Alaric grumbled pairing two rivals never works out. He tried it in one of his classes, the hunter attempted to pair a blond haired teen named Ava with Tiki and it didn't work out so well.
They watched as Malfoy strutted over to little Iris, "Ok…that's so cute" Caroline gushed, earning incredulous looks from the others "what? Look how adorable they are." Iris shook her head.
"Face your partners" Lockhart called out. Iris noticed that Klaus and all of them were looking intently at her past self and Malfoy. "Wands at the ready, when I count to three cast your charms to disarm your opponent only, we don't want any accidents. One…two…three-"
"This is all going to go to hell" Rebekah murmured, and watched as little Iris swung her wand but Malfoy had cast his spell on the of 'two'
"That little cheat-"Klaus growled seeing his spell hitting little Iris, the preteen looked as if she had been hit on the head and stumbled. Iris sighed loudly when Elijah clamped his hand down on her shoulder. Merlin these bloody Originals were rather protective she thought.
"Get back at the dick-"Damon egged her on "and before you say anything…yeah I know you can't hear me."
The watched as little Iris raised her own wand "Rictusempra!" a jet of silver light came out of her wand and she hit Malfoy in the stomach. The platinum blond haired boy sank to his knees and laughed.
"So wait he hit you with a charm that could do serious damage to you. And you…hit him with a tickling charm?" Kol questioned. "And…are you waiting for him to get back up on his feet?" little Iris had taken a step back
"What?" she asked "It would have been unfair if I attacked him when he was down."
Klaus scowled "And the enemy wouldn't consider doing this"
Iris scowled "I know that" she glared at him. She watched her past-self get hit by a spell that causes her legs to jump about.
"Flower…you can tap dance" Damon canted his head to the side. "Or-"
"That's the quick step-"Elijah corrected the other vampire. "Much better than a tap dance-"
"Really?" Klaus shook his head.
"That's what you two are focusing on…look around…this is-"Jeremy looked around.
"Chaotic" Alaric exclaimed, it was the Great Hall was filled with students blasting one another and he blanched seeing one boy with rapidly growing teeth.
"Awesome" Jeremy laughed but schooled his features seeing the stern look from his guardian. There was a haze of green smoke coming from the scene.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Lockhart screamed waving his hands. But none of the students were either too preoccupied or just chose to ignore him.
"And you say your class is rowdy" Damon snickered looking at the history teacher. Alaric rolled his eyes, and saw Snape pulling out of his wand.
"Finite Incantatem" the Potions Master shouted. They saw little Iris stopped dancing…the whole scene came to a stop. Stefan shook his head that had been….different.
"Oh girl fight-"Damon exclaimed grinning seeing Hermonie battling a bigger girl their wands lay forgotten. "I love a good gir-"Caroline struck him on the back of the head.
"Pervert…they are twelve here-"she spat.
"I didn't mean it like that" Damon rolled his eyes as the DADA teacher stepped forward and rolled his sleeves up.
"I think I'd better teacher you how to block unfriendly spells" Lockhart uttered. Kol scoffed the incompetent man should have done that in the first place. "Let's have a volunteer pair, Longbottom and Finch-Fletchley, how about you?"
"A bad idea, Professor Lockhart" said Snape,
"Is it me or does he looks like a bat when he walks?" Caroline whispered to Elena causing the doppelganger to giggle.
"-Longbottom causes devastation with the simplest spell. We'll be sending what's eft of Finkch-Fletchley up to the hospital wing in a match-box.-"Stefan shook his head, yeah that's one way to encourage a student he thought sarcastically.
"He goes pink a lot this one-"Kol commented seeing Neville's face going pink.
"-How about Potter and Malfoy?" the greasy haired man suggested.
Rebekah huffed and folded her arms across her chest, "That's going to go well isn't it? He wants to goad you…why does he hate you so much?" she asked looking at Iris.
The raven head mimed zipping her mouth shut and locking it. Proceeding to throw away the key.
"Aww-"Caroline whined "she's not going to tell-"
"Come on love-"Klaus grinned sending her a smouldering look.
"NO-Elijah tell your brother to stop doing that sex-"the dark haired Original hastily covered Iris's mouth shutting her up.
"Ok let's just watch" Elijah shuddered even though the petite teen was with his brother he couldn't imagine her in that particular way.
"Excellent idea-"said Lockhart gesturing for little Iris and Malfoy in the middle of the Hall, the Originals, humans and Immortal all watched from the side-lines as the crowd backed away to give the two pre-teens some space.
The two professors pulled their respective students aside giving them tips, they were able to hear what Lockhart was saying to little Iris. "Now Iris, when Draco points his wand at you, you do this." He raised his own want and attempted a complicated sort of wiggling action and dropped it.
"Oh…great-"Jeremy muttered "please don't tell me you listen to that-"Iris grinned and shook her head. "Whoops-"Lockhart exclaimed "my wand is a little over-excited-"Iris, Caroline, Rebekah, Elijah and Elena weren't too surprised when the others laughed loudly.
"So mature-"Elijah drawled
"They're men…so even if they've been dead for a hundred or so years. They are still behind on the maturity scale" Rebekah uttered.
This called the three other girls to giggle, and they looked back over the scene seeing little Iris looking up at Lockhart.
"Professor? How about you showing me that blocking thing?" she asked.
"Scared?" Malfoy muttered.
"You wish-"little Iris glowered.
Present Iris closed her eyes hearing Caroline gushing "Oh my gosh…you and him are soooo cute-"
"Please no" Iris shook her head. Elijah chuckled and hugged her to his side.
Damon cleared his throat and heard Lockhart "Just do what did, Iris!"
"What drop my wand?" little Iris asked wide eye.
"Damn you were a cute kid" Kol uttered "but now you're sexy-"Klaus reached around and slapped him on the back of his head.
"Three-two-one go!"-Lockhart shouted.
Stefan watched as Malfoy raised his wand "Serpensortia!" the boy bellowed. Jermey's wyes widened as a long black snake shot out of it, little Iris looked aghast and staggered back as the snake raised itself. There was screams from the crowd and Caroline balked at the slimy creature.
"Don't move Potter" said Snape lazily, Elijah narrowed his eyes, it was almost like the Potion Master was enjoying a motionless Iris the snake was only a couple of inches away from her face. Klaus blinked and glowered. "I'll get rid of it…!"
"Allow me" shouted Lockhart.
"Such a dick-"Damon snickered this guy was a ponce. And it was proven when the wavy haired wizard branded his wand at the snake ad there was a loud bang; the snake, instead of vanishing, flew ten feet intp the air and fell back to the floor with a loud smack.
"Oh that did wonders" Rebekah scoffed and saw that the professor merely angered the creature as it spluttered and hissed, sliding towards Justin Finch-Fletchey and raised itself exposing its fangs. Klaus watched as little Iris rushed forward and shouted "Leave him!" since they were in her memories they were able to understand what she had said. In fact what puzzled them was the other students' reaction.
"Why does that Justin kid look as if you killed his puppy?" Damon asked. Elijah and the other Originals understood what had happened.
"What do you think you're playing at?" the preteen shouted at little Iris and then ran off.
The scene blurred and now they were trailing after little Iris and her friends. "And you're about to find out what you can do" Elijah murmured he grabbed onto Iris's wrist and led her forward.
"You're a Parselmouth. Why didn't you tell us?" Ron asked.
"Perhaps because she didn't even know" Kol commented.
"Oh right…that's why the snake stopped" Caroline uttered. They climbed up the stairs trailing behind the preteen.
"I'm a what?" little Iris asked stopping in the middle of the staircase spinning around
"A Parselmouth! You can talk to snakes" Ron explained.
"Oh-"little Iris nodded "yeah…I know that. I mean that's the only second time I've ever done it. I accidentally set a boa constrictor on my cousin Dudley at the zoo once-long story-"
"Not that long" Kol drawled.
"Shut up Kol" Rebekah and Iris snapped in unison.
"Well the boa constrictor told me it was from Brazil…and I accidentally set it free…but that was before I knew I was a witch-"little Iris frowned. "And you're looking at me funny-"she finished off in one breath. Alaric snorted seeing the expression on the two preteens face.
"A boa constrictor told you it had never seen Brazil?" Ron asked faintly.
"So?" little Iris huffed "I bet loads of people can do it here"
"Aw you really were that naïve" Klaus chuckled. Iris rolled her eyes and focused back onto the scene
"On no they can't, it's not a very common gift. Iris this is bad"
"What's so bad about it? I think its wicked" Jeremy frowned. Little Iris seemed to be angry about it as well.
"What's so bad? If I hadn't told that snake to stop then Justin-"
"Oh that's what you said to it?"
"I heard you speaking Parseltongue, snake language. You could have been saying anything. No wonder Justin panicked, you sounded like you were egging the snake on or something. It was creepy you know-"
Damon rolled his eyes "That fat kid-what he was fat-"he said seeing the look Elena was shooting him "is a dick. Didn't anyone realise that the snake immediately stopped in its tracks when she told it to stop?"
Iris licked her lips, huh he did have a point.
"I spoke a different language?" little Iris asked "but I didn't realise –how can I speak a language without knowing I can speak it?"
Elijah frowned a thoughtful look came on to his face, now this was a puzzle he mused. He could see little Iris clearly getting frustrated and he didn't blame her. "Do you want to tell me what's wrong with stopping a dirty great snake biting Justin's head off?" she asked "what does it matter how I did it as long as Justin ok-"
"It matters" said Hermonie speaking in a hushed voice "because being able to talk to snakes was what Salazar Slytherin was famous for. That's why the symbol of Slytherin house is a serpent."
"Damon" Alaric exclaimed "tough luck kid now they're going to think you're related to him-"he snorted. But the grin slid off of his face when he saw her face.
"They didn't did they?" Stefan asked.
"Hmm…they think I might be the heir of Slytherin…so-"
"Making you being the one to open the Chamber" Klaus growled "little kids are stupid."
The scene shifted so that they were all standing in a dark corridor with the lanterns flickering. Damon saw little Iris stomping up the stairs in obvious anger.
"What's got you in a mood?" Klaus asked.
Iris's brows furrowed attempting to recall this incident…"Oh…right well I overheard some of my fellow peers not being so pleasant about me" she muttered "come on" they followed after the twelve year old.
"Typical isn't it?" Jeremy muttered "one moment they're all for you and the next…-"
"They're all dicks" Iris finished the sentence off. Klaus frowned why did little Iris always seem to find herself in dark corridors.
"Holy fuck on a stick-"Damon exclaimed taking in the scene. There was that kid…Justin something lying on the floor rigid a look of shock on his frozen face, his eyes were staring blankly ahead, "This is weird-"he sang in a sing-song voice seeing nearly headless Nick floating beside Justin. He had the same expression as the human.
"Oh crap…run little Iris run-"Kol urged the preteen, this wouldn't look good that was certain. Stefan saw the look of panic on little Iris's face, she looked completely lost of what to do.
"Oh too late" Jeremy muttered seeing the door beside little Iris bang open, and the poltergeist came shooting out of it.
"Why, it's potty wee Potter" cackled Peeves "what's Potter been-"he stopped mid-air and took a deep breath "ATTACK! ATTACK! NO MORTAL OR GHOST IS SAFE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! ATAACK-"
"Oh shit" Alaric shook his head as the doors after doors all crashed open and people flooded out of them. He saw little Iris pinned to against the wall as the teachers shouted for quiet. There was a moment of chaos but after a bang the corridor instantly became silent.
"Caught in the act-"a kid yelled pointing at little Iris dramatically.
"Oh bitch-"Kol yelped and Klaus pressed his lips together in annoyance. "Fan freaking tastic. So now they all think you've done this. Don't exactly help yourself do you? Sweets"
They watched as McGonagall whisked little Iris away from the scene, away from the accusing glares and pointing.
"Why are we in the girls bathroom? A disgusting girl's bathroom?" Rebekah looked around in revulsion at the rancid bathroom. Iris's eyes widened in recognition this is Myrtle's bathroom.
"What happened to you when you got taken away?" Stefan asked
"Oh…erm Dumbledore spoke to me" Iris muttered shit they were about to find out about the illegal potion making. She inched away from Elijah but the Original had a firm grip on her.
"Iris did you do something?" Klaus questioned.
"Erm…oh-"
"Look smoke" Caroline exclaimed saving the raven head from the oncoming questions. But the blond vampire was right, from out of one of the cubicles black smoke came billowing out from the bottom.
"And there you are" Damon said as little Iris and Ron walked into the bathroom, they watched as the raven head preteen knocked on the cubicle door that they was standing in front of.
"Hermonie?" the lock scraped and Hermonie emerged, she had a look of anxiousness. Elijah frowned hearing a 'gloop, gloop' coming from behind the bushy haired girl.
"Did you get them?" she asked breathlessly. Klaus narrowed his eyes seeing Iris holding up a handful of air.
"Iris what are you doing?" Klaus asked.
"Let's watch" she offered weakly merlin she was going to get her ass handed on a plate. Iris swallowed.
"Good. And I sneaked these spare robes out of the laundry-"Hermonie was holding up three robes. "We'll need bigger robes."
"Bigger robes?" Klaus frowned he peered into the cauldron and saw a mud like substance stewing
"What is that?"
"Erm…pll-"
"Clearer" Elijah said loudly
"Polyjuice Potion" Iris squeaked when he hit her hard on the bottom. "Oww-"
"You are in so much trouble" Elijah growled "Polyjuice Potion?" he had read about that in one of the many books that was in the room he'd been staying in. creating like this took practise not to mention a lot of skills.
"What does it do?" Damon frowned but neither Iris nor Elijah chose to reply. Klaus shook his head and watched as the bushy haired girl scooped the potion into three glasses, they dropped the pieces of hair into it.
Stefan grimaced seeing the bubbling substance. "We should drink them in separate cubes; we're not all going to fit in one cubicle"
"Oh no" Caroline blanched they were going to drink something with hair in it. They took a step back as little Iris and Ron went into separate cubicles. They heard the locks scraping.
"You want to explain why you guys are drinking that?" Alaric asked.
Iris swallowed "Well…we thought that Malfoy was the one attacking so…we wanted to find out some information and he wasn't going to tell us so…we-the thing is-"she stammered, she was saved from finishing her reply since the cubicle doors open. All of theirs jaws dropped when they caught sight of little Iris….only it wasn't her.
"Ergh-you're ugly-"
"Damon-"Elena snapped.
"What?" he asked, "Iris…looks like that pug girl-"
"Pansy Parkinson" Iris rolled her emerald green orbs. "And Ron is Crabbe-"
"Malfoy's little girlfriend and that thug kid" Kol uttered, "So this potion-"
"Lasts only an hour" Iris muttered she licked her lips she could feel the looks she was getting. Oh Merlin…she hoped they would forget about giving her a lecture.
The scene changed so now they were standing in what they assumed was the Slytherin's common room. Caroline found herself preferring the Gryffindor's common room this place was cold and damp.
"There you guys are" Alaric exclaimed seeing little Iris who had the appearance of Pansy next to Malfoy, and Crabbe sitting on ont of the armchairs.
"What's the matter with you two?" Malfoy asked. 'Pansy' giggled
"Nothing Dragon-"Damon snorted, the little raven head could act. "Have another grape-"with that she popped the fruit into his open mouth.
Iris blushed seeing the looks she was getting from the others "What? Pansy was his girlfriend/stalker" she hugged herself.
"Saint Potter, the Mudbloods's friends" said Malfoy, Stefan was in awe wondering how the hell did he and Iris became friends "-she's another one with no proper witch feeling, or she wouldn't go around with that jumped-up Granger Mudblood-"
"Where is the Granger girl?" Rebekah asked realising that it was only little Iris and Ron here.
"Yeah-"Iris licked her lips "you'll find out what happened."
They listened back to what Malfoy was saying "-And people think she's Slytherin's heir!"
"Good to know you're not related to a psycho-"
"But she is sleeping with one-"Damon snickered. Iris elbowed him in the ribs
"Dick" she muttered.
"So Malfoy doesn't know who opened the Chamber" Elijah murmured hearing what the boy said "you're plan worked out great didn't it!?" he glowered at the petite teen. "Putting yourself in danger like that, no self-preservation at all"
Iris licked her lips nervously.
They watched as the scene carried on 'Pansy' said "You must know have some idea who's behind it all…"
"You know I haven't Pansy, how many times do I have to tell you?" snapped at Malfoy "and father won't tell me anything about the last time the Chamber was opened, either. Of course, it was fifty years ago, so it was before his time. But he knows all about it, and he says it was all kept quiet and it'll look suspicious if I know about it too much. But I know one thing last time the Chamber of Secrets as opened, a Mudblood died. So I bet it's only a matter of time before one of them was killed this time…I hope it's Granger-"
"Oh…crap" Jeremy muttered seeing 'Crabbe' who he knew was actually Ron jumping onto his feet, his fists clenching. "He's hair is going red-"
"And you're getting smaller-"Rebekah muttered they were changing back to normal.
The scene changed and they were once again back in the girls bathroom. Klaus saw that little Iris was back to normal. She had to pick up the robes so they wouldn't drag on the floor.
"Hermonie-"little Iris knocked on the cubicle door. "Come out we've got stuff-"Jeremy jumped when he saw a ghost emerging from the cubicle.
"Is it me or is she actually happy?" Stefan commented seeing the gleeful expression on the glum girl's face.
"Ohh wait till you see" she said "It's awful."
They all inched forward as the cubicle door was opened. Damon let out a loud snort and Caroline gasped from within its depths stepped out Hermonie…only she had black fur all over and her eyes were yellow.
"I used cat hair-"Hermonie wailed with that everyone par Elijah all laughed.
The dark haired Original rounded on Iris "You drank a dangerous potion to try and get information out of Malfoy?" he asked incredulously
"Erm…no? yes" Iris huffed "It happened and-"
"You're in trouble" he stated.
Iris's eyes bugged out she turned to Klaus but the hybrid raised his hands "You made your own bed in this sweetheart. You should have used this-"he tapped her temple where her brain resided "more when you was younger" he smirked.
Iris scowled "Fine-"she hissed "no sex, if I'm being punished so are you" she huffed. Klaus groaned and shook his head.
They landed in what Kol recognised was the girls dormitories, they saw little Iris leaning over a diary and scrawling on the pages. Present Iris groaned, bloody Riddle and his diary; it was the one causing so much trouble.
"You've got a diary?" Damon frowned "You don't seem like a diary type…you're not broody…or Stefan like" Stefan glared at his brother.
Iris snorted and shook her head "It's not an ordinary diary…it writes back…and according to person diary this is he knew who opened the Chamber of Secrets." She explained, she trailed off seeing the pages of the diary blowing as if it was caught in a high wind.
"Oh my god-"Caroline exclaimed watching as little Iris was sucked into the diary, they quickly followed behind. They landed just as little Iris did, unlike present Iris she didn't have anyone to help her keep balance and instead she pitched forward smacking her face against the floor.
"Ok…ok" little Iris groaned but then her pain was forgotten, and she gawped at the room. Klaus didn't blame her; they were in a circular room that resembled an office.
"Huh" Jeremy frowned noticing a frail looking wizard didn't even blink when little Iris appeared, almost as if he couldn't see her.
"I'm sorry" little Iris said shakily "I didn't mean to butt in…erm…I'm going. I'm GOING…never thought I'd meet a deaf wizard…"" she scurried off. They followed behind her Iris didn't miss the grin on Klaus's face and knew he was amused by the display.
But before little Iris could leave there was a knock on the office door. "Enter" the wizard called.
"She stuck in a memory" Caroline uttered realising why no one could see little Iris, the twelve year old came to the same conclusion. "Oh…he's hot" the blond vampire exclaimed seeing a tall dark haired teen entering the room. Iris forced herself not to shudder at what the vampire said. She didn't really know who this was yet.
"Ah Riddle" said the frail looking wizard, Elijah had realised that this was the current Headmaster of this particular time.
"That's the person diary this belongs to" Iris informed the group.
She looked back at the scene "You wanted to see me Professor Dippet?" said Riddle. Iris forced herself to remain calm, she didn't want them to find out what happen from her they'll see it themselves.
"Sit down" said Dippet "I've just been reading the letter you sent me."
"Oh-"Kol didn't miss the way Riddle seem to grip his hands together tightly.
"My dear boy" said Dippet kindly "I cannot possibly let you stay at school, over the summer. Surely you want to go home for the holidays?"
"No" Riddle said almost at once, causing Stefan to frown who wouldn't want to go home for the holidays? "I'd much rather stay at Hogwarts than go back to..to-"
"You live in a Muggle orphanage during the holidays, I believe?" Stefan nodded, ok that made more sense now.
"Yes sir" Riddle said, Elijah frowned it was almost like he was embarrassed.
"You are a Muggle-born?"
"Half-blood sir-"said Riddle "Muggle father, witch mother-"
"Hey Iris, he's like you then" Alaric exclaimed, Elijah looked down feeling her tensing beside him. He placed his hand on her shoulder giving her a small squeeze.
"The thing is Tom" Damon watched a look of disappointment coming across the headmaster's face "special arrangements might have been made for you, but in the current circumstances-"
"You mean all these attacks Sir?" Rebekah didn't miss the way little Iris moved closer as if not wanting to miss a word of the conversation
"Precisely, my dear girl you must see how foolish it would be of me to allow you to remain at the castle when term ends. Particularly in the light of the recent tragedy…the death of that poor little girl…-"
"The one that Malfoy mention" Klaus murmured under his breath, his eyes darted over to Iris and saw how tense she was. Of course the memories would still affect her.
"Sir if the person was caught …it if all stopped…"Elijah narrowed his eyes, something was amiss.
"What do you mean?" Dippet asked "Riddle do you mean you know who is responsible for these attacks?"
"No sir" Riddle said quickly.
Kol scoffed "He's lying,"
The scene changed they were following little Iris as she trailed after memory Tom, they were heading down a dark corridor and clamoured down a staircase, Elena concluded that they were in the dungeons.
Jeremy looked ahead when he heard a door creak opened and then someone whispering,
"C'mon…gotta get yeh outta here…c'mon now…in the box…"Stefan frowned there was something awfully familiar about that voice. The door widened revealing a huge boy beside a he wooden box.
"Evening, Rubeus" said Riddle sharply, Damon frowned…he didn't like this Riddle character; there was something eerie about him.
"What yer doing down here, Tom?" the large boy asked.
"It's all over I'm going to have to turn you in, Rubeus . They're talking about closing Hogwarts if the attacks don't stop. I don't think you meant to kill anyone. But monsters, don't make good pets, I supposed you just let it out for exercise-"Riddle carried on.
"Something is wrong." Caroline frowned as Riddle pulled out his wand.
"Stand aside" he waved his wand knocking the lid off of the box, Caroline and Elena shrieked when a hairy body in a tangle of black legs and a pair of razor sharp pincers scuttled out and ran out of the room.
"NOO-"the large boy screamed. Little Iris let out a yell as she was violently pulled upwards.
They stumbled and Rebekah frowned they were in the boys dormitories? She heard pounding feet the door flung opened, little Iris ran towards Ron's sleeping form.
"Ron-"little Iris shook him "Wake up-"
"What-?"Ron groaned "huh-what's wrong?" he asked.
"It was Hagrid, Ron. Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago" little Iris exclaimed. They felt the tug in their guts, they were being pulled away.
"Fuck no" Damon uttered "really?"
Iris shook her head, the pull was getting stronger. Elijah clamped his arms around her shoulders and held her tight.
"Elija-"
"We're going to need a talk" Elijah said. Iris groaned and felt herself flying upwards.
