Recap.

Annie makes a face but looks down and screeches when she also finds her body missing.

[Howard pauses his paperwork at the sound of his daughters slight scream, a grin grows and chuckle escapes, she's sure to cause trouble now.]
————————————————-

Back at Hogwarts, late at night, a lantern and hand appear, but nothing else. The ensemble walks through the dark library and into the Restricted Section. The lamp is put down, and the cloak removed, revealing to be Annie who searches the bookshelves.]

"Books? Are you kidding me?" James shakes his head in disappointment.

"I bet Howard was happy." Remus added.

"Oh don't you worry, we cause plenty of trouble later on. This is the calm before the storm."

James look changes from disappointment to worried at Rons words. They were not comforting.

Annie: Famous fire eaters. 15th-Century Fiends. Flamel. Nicholas Flamel. Where are you?

[Annie picks up a book and opens it. A man's face appears from between the pages, which screams madly and loudly. Annie immediately slams the book shut and puts it back.]

Toni jumps awake, panicked. Draco gently rubs her back.

"It's okay darling, you're safe. It was just the movie."

She nods heavily leaning on him. She closes her eyes trying to calm her breathing. Draco goes through the routine they came up with for preventing her panic attacks.

When Toni is stuck in a PTSD episode Draco is one of the only people who can approach her without making the situation worse. In the weeks she spent being tortured in the Malfoy Manor he would sneak in to clean her wounds and take care of her as much as he could. He was her safe place, always.

"What the fuck was that!" Clint screeches.

Regulus covers Peters ears, "Would you quiet your cursing Clinton."

He makes the face of a kicked puppy, "That's not my name." He pouts.

"Can we go back to the screaming book?" Nat deadpans.

"What about it?" Ron asks in between mouths of chocolate frogs. "Y'all don't have those?"

Hermione shakes her head, "Do you ever listen to me Ronald."

He scratches the back of his neck nervously. Not sure how he's supposed to answer that.

Filch: Who's there?! [Annie whips around and quickly grabs her cloak, causing the lamp to fall and shatter.] I know you're in there. You can't hide. [Annie puts on her cloak and creeps around Filch.] Who is it? Show yourself!

[Annie runs from the room, breathing heavily. She exits into the hall, where Mrs. Norris, who meows and begins to follow her. Annie runs around a corner, just as Snape and Quirrell appear.

[Snape pushes Quirrell into the wall.]

Quirrell: Severus... I-I thought...

Snape: You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell.

James shifts in his seat, his heart rate increases as he watches Severus on screen. An unconscious blush warms his cheeks; he has never seen him so commanding before.

Quirrell: I don't know w-what you m-mean.

Snape: You know perfectly well what I mean.

[Snape senses something who causes Annie to stop breathing. Snape reaches out to grab something but doesn't. He whips his finger back in front of Quirrell's face.]
