Chapter 18
2 days later
Lily comes in snarling slightly with McGonagall leading her "So are you being kicked out?" I ask.
"No, but I have detention for the remainder of the fucking year" she grunts.
"Who took the job?"
"Hooch, I have to polish the damn brooms for the last month of school"
"How'd you manage that?" Emma asks laughing.
"Aunt Ingrid brought a memory stone and altered that fuckers memory"
Looking at McGonagall she nods frowning at Lily "She made it seem I convinced him it would look better to give her a chance so he can get access to your vaults".
Nodding I hum "So he's going to try winning us to his side?"
McGonagall nods frowning "Don't fall for it girls, he will get you to give him access to them, then you will end up missing or dead".
"We won't" we all answer together.
"Good and try to not cause to much trouble I don't know what's happening but he's planning something"
"Does it have to do with the three headed Dog on the third floor?" I ask.
She looks at me frowning "Hermione stay away from there".
Nodding I huff crossing my arms watching her leave, once the door closes I lean forward looking at my sisters "It's Tom".
"What the dog?" Emma asks.
"No, what ever is being hidden it involves Tom it's something he wants"
"How do we help him?"
"We go in and find out what's being hidden"
They nod before we wait for the nightly count to happen while laying on the couch playing like we're asleep.
Hearing the slight flutter of Sev's robes when he leaves we wait a moment then get up.
Going to my house door we sneak out slipping out into the school hallway making our way for the third floor.
Seeing Mrs. Norris, Lily hisses seeing she's not leaving and keeps glancing back.
"I'll deal with them you two go" she says softly before taking off down a near by hall screaming and laughing.
Watching Filch take off after her we wait a moment then continue going, reaching the room I huff as we slip in closing the door "Easy boy it's just me, I brought a friend" I say catching the dogs attention.
Hearing the door rattle we duck behind the dog hiding as the door opens.
Lily comes in closing the door leaning against the wall breathing heavily before growling at the dog.
Coming out she huffs glaring at us "They're learning how to take a bath, now let's hurry".
Nodding I look around seeing the trapped door, getting it open I sigh seeing Emma jump in first before Lily goes "Yeah, great plan jump into the dark hole and see what happens" I mutter before following them.
"Be steal" I hiss feeling the devil's snare wrap around us, seeing them both drop I take a breath closing my eyes.
Hitting the ground I grunt getting up dusting myself off "This is stupidly easy".
Lily nods looking around before we follow the path coming to a door that Lily yanks, looking up at the keys flying I point to one "That's what we need".
"Why not magic?"
"Emma just get the key" I order casting an Impedimenta on the keys.
She nods getting on the broom taking off as the keys slowly chase her grabbing it when she passes throwing it to me, I unlock the door tossing the key back up as Emma runs putting the broom back.
Slamming the door I sigh hearing the keys hit the door "They better go back to flying or we will get caught".
Eventually passing everything with Lily finding a second option at the chess game we come to a room with fire around it and potions set up.
"We can't take the Potion there's only enough for one person so there has to be a second option"
"I have an idea but you won't like it" Lily says smirking.
Looking at her I frown watching her and Emma look between me and the fire "No, I refuse" I say shaking my head.
They both roll their eyes before grabbing my arms spinning "Don't scream" they say lifting so I raise higher and letting me go.
Sucking in a breath I close my eyes feeling the fires heat as I pass at the top.
Hitting the ground I roll a few time before laying there groaning, slowly getting up I frown seeing the blisters on my arms "Jerks" I mutter before looking around seeing different stones and a mirror.
Stepping up to the stones I frown finding nothing special about them before moving to the mirror.
Looking at it I bite my lip to keep from crying at seeing us with our mom, her in dragon form wrapped around us as we sleep in what looks like a castle.
Taking a breath I shake my head going back to the fire looking around, seeing a spot that the fire doesn't touch near the wall I frown slipping through.
Stepping out I look at it seeing fire where I slipped past at and roll my eyes "An illusion like I said another way through".
"Did you find it?" My sisters asks.
"A bunch of stones and a mirror that shows your deepest desires, whatever is being hidden you have to know about to get it, we need to go look for information and figure it out to try again"
