but i am the chosen one

Alexander watched as an influx of teachers poured themselves into the chamber. Headmistress McGonagall, and a bunch more. Lafayette was there too, with Angelica who looked surprisingly conscious. Angelica and Laf walked over to Alex, who was laying on the floor, while the teachers rushed towards Lee and Burr.

"Why are you on the floor?" Angelica said as a greeter, poking Alex with her foot. 

"I have suffered a mortal wound," Alex said dramatically. Lafayette crouched down.

"You sprained your ankle didn't you," they said, amused.

"Shhhh," Alex fake whispered. "If you tell her that," he said, referring to Angelica. "I'll never hear the end of it."

Angelica rolled her eyes, and looked around the chamber where John and Burr were being interrogated by the professors. "What happened?"

"Lee and John got into a duel."

"Why?"

"John was defending my honor."

Lafayette sat down next to Alex. "Mon ami, that is one of the stupidest and most reckless things you two have ever done." Alex shrugged.

Angelica crouched down. "I agree with them, and they told me about how you threw away that scroll. Is there any other reason why you dueled Lee?"

Alex bit his lip, thinking it over. "Well, you see, Lee was provoking me. And so I lunged to fight him, and I kinda tripped and fell and sprained my ankle."

"The great Alexander Hamilton, taken down by gravity!" Lafayette said dramatically. Alex slapped their arm.

"Lee was also talking about treason or something, but-"

"Why didn't you say that first!" Angelica said, throwing her hands up in the air.

"Because he's an idiot," they reminded her. Angelica shrugged, agreeing.

"Yeah, Lee was trying to get the philosopher's stone," Alex continued. "Apparently, it was for you-know-who for some weird reason-"

At that, Headmistress McGonagall rushed over to the three of them, accompanied by John.  

"What is going on her," she said exasperatedly. "Mr. Hamilton, why are you on the floor."

"I... sprained my ankle?"

"Then why didn't you just use a healing spell?"

"Damn," Lafayette muttered from next to Alex. 

"Ms. Schuyler, may you please.... aide Mr. Hamilton in healing his ankle. Mr. Lafayette, please come with me and Mr. Laurens. We need to talk." Angelica nodded, and took out her wand. She quickly muttered the incantation, healing Alex's ankle, but not before saying under her breath, "You prideful idiot."

Alex lept up, and sauntered over to where Lafayette, John, and McGonagall were talking. "You tell me all the time!" he called after Angelica, who rolled her eyes and followed him. 

"So," he said confidently. "What happened."

"Professor Lee will be put in captivity until we can confirm that he was, in fact, working for you-know-who. We've sent some people to search Lee's office-"

"Who are you sending?" Alex interrupted. McGonagall gave him a leveled look. 

"We sent Professor Seabury and Professor Longbottom-"

"No," Lafayette said. "Lee isn't stupid. If he was communicating with you-know-who, he would have hid it away. You should probably send Peggy and Hercules instead, they know what they're doing."

"And why," McGonagall said. "Would I send two first-years to investigate a crime, which really should be taken up by the Ministry?"

"I'll vouch for them," Angelica said. 

"Fine," McGonagall said. "You have my... permission. I'm going to have to talk to all of you later though," she said, and started walking away, towards Lee. "But now I'm going to have to deal with this idiot of a professor...."

Burr walked up to the three of them. "Did I kill him?" John asked cheerfully, bouncing on the tips of his toes. 

"No," Burr said, disgusted. "He got hurt in the side. And you look way too happy about that."

"Not fair," Lafayette said, stomping their foot like a six year old. "Why wasn't I in the room where it happened!"

"Laf," Alex said. "You were literally like fuck this shit I'm out, and then fucking left us." 

"And trust me," Burr added. "For once, you wouldn't have wanted to be in the room where it happened. Now there's all this drama," he said, sighing. 

Angelica rolled her eyes. "The reason there is all of this drama, is because you guys can't do anything correctly." She turned, and headed towards the exit. "Now, I don't know about you, but I'm going to go and find Herc and Peggy so that we can settle this shit."

And so the children left, and headed out of the chambers. It took them quite a while, Angelica watching the boys and Lafayette scrambling over each other, trying to get out of the trapdoor chute, for like twenty minutes, and laughing. And then she walked over and performed a simple spell getting them all out of there. 

The Revolutionary Crew and Burr split ways, Alex teasingly yelling an overly flirtatious "You'll be back!" at Burr as they parted ways. Angelica rolled her eyes, and herded the rest of them towards the Hufflepuff common room.

"Why are we going there?" Alex said as he was pushed towards the common room.

"Cause I'm sick of being the mom friend and 'Liza knows how to do it for hours without murdering each and every one of you. Oh, and she probably knows where Peggy is."

"How come I'm not the mom friend?" Laf asked. Angelica shot him an are you serious look.

"I got unconscious for five minutes, and somehow, you guys manage to shoot a teacher and unravel a treason conspiracy, sprain your ankle, and almost get burnt, John. What was that! Laf told me how you tried to touch that fire thing, that was one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, and I'm friends with all of you guys."

"How do you even know where the Hufflepuff common room is?" John asked as he tried to keep up with Angelica, who just shot him another look. The crew rounded a corner, and promptly bumped into Eliza. 

"Oh hey guys!" she said cheerfully. She noticed that they were all panting from running (well, except Angelica, she's perfect). "What's wrong? Is it about the thing that sent all of the teachers down to wherever?" 

"Yeah," Alex said breathlessly. "Um, where's Peggy and Herc?"

Eliza frowned. "Actually, I have no idea."

"Maybe we should split up to try and find them?" Alex suggested. 

"And do the white people in a horror movie thing? Nah man," Angelica said. 

Lafayette laughed. "We're not in a horror movie, mon cher."

Angelica rolled her eyes. "Fine."

They did find Peggy and Hercules later. They, meaning Lafayette, who found them in a indiscreet closet, doing things that Lafayette would not disclose. The rest of the group then met up at the Great Hall. 

"What is going on, we were doing something," Peggy complained. Alex rolled his eyes. 

"Look," he drawled. "We need you to infiltrate Lee's room." Hercules frowned, and folded his arms.

"What do you mean? We did that ages ago."

Eliza looked up, scandalized. "Peggy!" she scolded. 

Peggy shrugged. "We were bored. And hey, it was worth it. Lee leads a very scandalous life," she said, sharing a sly look with Herc. 

Angelica sighed, cupping her face with her hand. "Look, can you just get us any correspondents that may seem, I don't know, treasonous?"

"Oh yeah!" Peggy said, straightening her spine. "Lee works for you-know-who!"

At that, the entire Revolutionary Crew excluding the two of them, groaned, and covered their eyes in exasperation. 

"And, when did you find out about this?" Angelica asked. Peggy and Herc exchanged a look. 

"Um, when were Slytherin quidditch tryouts?" Herc asked. The rest of them groaned again. 

"Why didn't you tell us?" Angelica continued. 

"We didn't think it was important?" Herc said uneasily. 

"We were preoccupied at the time," Peggy said. "And then we just kinda forgot about it?"

Angelica ran a hand down her face. "Ok, ok, whatever, it's fine. Can you just go and get those correspondents?"

"Yes sir!" Peggy said perkily, and grabbed Herc's hand and ran off. 

"Wow," Washington said after that was all over. "You guys are all a mess."

Peggy and Hercules did have traitorous correspondents, which Alex and John sent up to McGonagall. She accepted them gratefully, and then shooed them out to deal with that mess. 

Later, she called Laf, John, Angelica, Alex, and Burr into her office. "I feel like I owe you guys an explanation," she said. "After all, you did just kinda save us all." She passed around a clipboard, gesturing for each of them to sign it. "What I am about to tell you five is extremely confidential. And since I can't have you guys blubbering about it everywhere," she said, with a pointed look at Alexander. "You guys have to sign this, so that if you do spill, I will be able to ruin your life." Angelica laughed, and McGonagall casted a fond look in her direction.

"So," McGonagall continued. "Lee will be sent to Azkaban." Alex and John grinned wickedly. "Apparently, he was communicating with you-know-who. He was working for him, working to bring the stone to you-know-who."

"Why does he need the stone?" Alex interrupted. McGonagall looked at him.

"I was getting to that, Mr. Hamilton. You-know-who need it, for some sort of funding. But the fact that Lee was corresponding with you-know-who is enough reason for him to be sent to Azkaban."

"How come it took you so long to figure this out?" Angelica asked. "I mean, us students figured it out before you guys did."

"Well, me? I trusted him. Enough that I was pretty sure he wasn't committing treason. And besides, Ms. Schuyler, you students only figured this out when you were invading his privacy."

"Damn," Laf muttered.

"Where is the actual stone though?" Burr asked. McGonagall smiled grimly.

"Don't worry about that, we've destroyed it."

"Oh."

"Well," she said, sighing. "I think that it is safe to assume that you five are all caught up now. Dismissed."
