Chapter 3
Chapter 3:
Xarry snorted at the new geode he had Dobby pick up in Diagon to replace the stone in the mirror with. It practically screamed “Made in China.” But he still handed it over to the faithful elf to get it into place and watched as the elf popped off. Then headed out of the dorm and off to breakfast via the hidden way the elf showed him to get to the Ravenclaw Tower.
Once there, he carved a small rune into the base near the eagle and activated it, then walked off to breakfast. Whistling the theme for the PBS show Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood.

The Ravenclaw Breakfast Show was fun, and the Weasley twins were even more fun to watch as they kept looking at the staff table and back at the “Pollyanna Wanna-be” Ravenclaws, who were just so cute dressed as young Shirley Temples. With curled blond hair each no less. They just knew they were going to be blamed for this one. Especially with Percy, when the girl he liked tap danced her way out the door singing “On the Good Ship Lollypop” which had caused a spit take from the headmaster.
The staff shocked and Flitwick was too stunned to react before several of his Claws were already skipping and dancing out the door to head to class. The yelling at the top of his lungs “WEASLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“WE DIDN’T DO IT! HONEST!” They said together.
“My office where you’ll take it off!”
Xarry snorted at where his mind went at that and calmly said quietly, “There was a little girl, who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead…”
“POTTER! You finish that quote and you’ll be joining the twins in their next detention!” Came from Sprout, who was trying to steer the Claws to safety.
He grinned innocently and took the pointed hat they were all supposed to wear from his head and transfigured it into a ball cap with a smiley face on it that had a bleeding bullet hole in between its eyes and the words ‘Chaos Inc. Owned and Operated by Loki and Janus since 900 CE’. Put it on his head and strolled out to his potions class.

The twins were gone throughout the day, and no one saw hide nor hair of them or the Claws anywhere. But the Snakes were now hiding out and scurrying around in ducking positions with colored splat markings on their robes.
By the time dinner rolled around, the Snakes were twitchy, and splat marked with paint, and the Claws were coming off the runic enchantment though a few still came out in the “Animal Cracker in My Soup” song during the meal.
Xarry’s ball cap was on backwards, and he had a piece of hay between his teeth as he came in from outside. And of course, jr would choose to not take the hint of “Duck and Cover” and came strolling up to him as he came through the doors. “You showing your mud blood roots now? Potter?” He snickered to things one and two, who each gave a chuckle of their own.
Xarry got between them and threw his left arm around Malfoy’s shoulders and tightened his grip. He turned his piece of hay into something that resembled a half-eaten carrot and brushed his hand down his clothes to change them into an old WWII Marine dress uniform with Sergeant stripes on the sleeves. “Now, now Mr. Malfoy, here there are rules…” Sudden silence from all the, now eagerly awaiting, muggle-raised, as they as one leaned forward. “There will be none of the below belt hits, like this,” and quick as lightning Malfoy was spewing everything he ate the last three days and leaned down, cupping his groin. “No head hits like this,” Xarry’s arm went up from his groin to put his closed fist into contact with Malfoy’s nose. Shattering it. And causing him to quit grasping his bullocks and grasp what was left of his nose from the bent over position. “And we most definitely don’t attack like this,” he moved his arm holding the boy to make a chop on Malfoy’s neck and knocking him out and sprawled out onto the floor.
Xarry turned to Malfoy’s stunned butt buddies, “Make sure you never do that won’t you.” And walk over the fallen boy as his clothes turned back into robes and the carrot turned back into hay. And over the thundering applause was Snape’s bellow of, “POTTER!!!!!”
Snape went to grab him from behind, but he just leaned forwards and tumbled to a rolling stand to face the menace to the school. His finger cocked in the gun shooting position, pointed at the scoffing man. “Bang, Bang, you’re a dead man walking Mr. Grinch. Your heart will always remain too small.” He had fired the “gun” at the man, and to the surprise of all, he grasped his chest as though in pain and toppled over, knocked out.
Xarry turned his Chaos ball cap around on his head, so the cap was forwards and got out of the staff’s way, then whistled theme to “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” on his way to the common room.

He got two weeks detention for his attack, and the House was so far in the red that there was no way they would get the cup.
Filch had turned him over to clean the trophy room, he just moved his arm, and walked away. Causing Filch to have a heart attack when he looked inside, and everything almost literally glowed in the dark they were so clean. And Peeve’s the Poltergeist was tied up and gagged overhead, looked scared worse than a run-in with the Baron.
Neither would have anything to do with him after that. And his detentions were turned over to Sprout, who had him clean the greenhouses.
Which he did with no problem.

He had summoned Dobby again and had him go through the Lestrange vaults and do to them that he had done to his old master’s things. Thus, getting rid of the Cup.
Then have fun with the Room of Hidden Things and the Tiara. Which had pleased the little guy no end and kept him busy for the rest of term. In between pranks. One of which was to pop Xarry to the entrance of each of the Houses, where he carved a small snake near the student entrance/exit, then spoke a few words in one of the demon trade languages translated into parsel to the snake. Then Dobby popped him back to his dorm.
It was the first day of the exams for most of the student body, so stress levels were already high, so, when each student went to sit down in the Great Hall for breakfast, the time delay spell hit. Removing all their clothes and closing the common rooms to that student, they freaked big time.
The spell took effect for 3 hours and the students that freaked the worst were dosed with calming droughts but needless to say Dumbles had to end the testing for all but the 5th and 7th years that year.
The students not stuck doing testing were allowed to floo home or to the Leakey and be picked up by their families.

Xarry had Dobby tell Kreatcher how to take care of the Locket and watch over the old elf as he took care of it through the Veil, and Dobby just popped into the shack and popped the Ring straight through to the Veil without seeing or touching the thing.
Stone and all.
While Malfoy Sr was picked up and arrested by Moody himself. With what was found in his ritual house Dobby had left instructions on where to find, he went straight to questioning under Veritaserum and from there to prison. His “friends” soon followed.
Fini.
