Chapter Nine: We Become a Supergroup. Hooray!

Harry Potter POV

"So let me get this straight." Keefe said. "First we figure out that the Neverseen and the Death Eaters have an alliance, they have plans to kidnap Sophie and Harry to combine their blood to make this potion to re-empower Voldemort, which will somehow help my mother with my Legacy. Glitter Girl and Maruca have been kidnapped and controlled with some spell against us, which we found out when Hogwarts was attacked, Fred and George are in a coma, we found out that we have a portion of the recipe required to re-empower Voldemort, which would need the Marigolds of Mystery, their only known location is on the Map of the Oracle, and the person who has it right now is literal Snape, the owner of these pages is unknown right now, Draco is up to something that his aunt who is a Deatheater told him to do and we have no clue what it is, so things are not getting complicated, they already are complicated."

We all looked at Keefe.

"I guess that is basically what happened," I said to him. " But what are you trying to say?" I asked.

"I'm trying to ask, what does this mean? And with all this information at hand, what should we do about it? This is obviously up to us," he said.

"Those are some purposeful questions, Mr. Sencen," said a voice.

Then we all turned around to see a calm - looking Dumbledore standing behind us.

He smiled. "I was watching all you students to see how things go in this week of Magical Cooperation, and I just found out about all of your amazing talents and discoveries."

We all shared looks.

"So I thought, these dangerous events have to be looked into, but it seems that these talented students have already started doing it for us."

We all shared looks once again.

"But to answer your question Mr. Sencen," Dumbledore said. "It means that our world is in danger of having a truly evil force brought back. What we should accomplish is keeping Mr. Potter and Ms. Foster as safe as we can, preventing the Deatheaters and the Neverseen from making this potion to re-empower Voldemort, and then rescue your kidnapped friends, putting both of our worlds back into peace. 

"What we have to do to achieve all of this is to not just to make magical borders around the school, so Mr. Potter and Ms. Foster are safe, but we have to put together all the clues and find out how to truly stop the Neverseen and the Deatheaters. We must fight with wisdom and cleverness to win this, and save many from evil,"

We all were silent at Dumbledore's words of wisdom.

"So, the point is," Keefe said, taking us out of the silence. "You want us to like, team up and fight the bad guys alongside you?"

Dumbledore smiled. "Yes, Mr. Sencen. That is the point. But you all have to agree to make this happen." 

After a short but thoughtful pause, I decided to speak up.

"I-I'm in," I said, stepping forward. "I think this is important, and if the whole world is at risk, then why not?"

And soon enough after I said that we all were in.

"Great," said Professor Dumbledore. "I wish you all luck in your quest." 

And saying that, he left.

                                                                                    * * *

After that, we all started walking back to our dorms, talking with one another about the recent events.

Except Keefe, of course. 

Keefe was bragging on how he could've set up a prank that would have attracted the same amount of attention, and most of the others were listening, pretending to listen, talking to someone else, or immersed in their own thoughts.

I was immersed in my own thoughts.

And so was Fitz.

So soon enough, he decided to share those thoughts with us. 

"Guys," he said. "We need to steal the Map of The Oracle from Snape as soon as possible,"

We all looked at him.

"Do you have a plan?" Tam asked, raising his right eyebrow.

"Not exactly," he replied. "More like a theory or an idea."

"Let's here it then, if its even more important than my entertaining story," Keefe said jokingly.

Sophie sighed and shook her head.

Keefe grinned at her, and we all laughed.

"So," Biana said. "Your awesome plan?"

Fitz cleared his throat. "My theory. I think that the thing that Bellatrix wants Draco to do is steal the map before we do. Maybe the Deatheaters and Neverseen  knew that we would interfere with they're plan, knowing about what we all accomplished in the past,"

"That's reasonable," I said. "Would explain why Draco has been acting so weird,"

"Yeah," Ron agreed.

"Sooooo.... what?" asked Biana. "What do we do now that we've got that theory?"

"We steal the Map from Snape before he does!" Keefe said. "Obviously! What else are we supposed to do?" 

"But... when?" Sophie said. "And how?"

"Tonight!" Keefe said. "With magic and our abilities!"

"Okay," I said. "I think we may be able to search when all were sure that everyone's asleep and the commotion is over,"

"With the invisibility cloak!" Ron chimed in.

"Yes," I said. "With the invisibility cloak"

"I'm in for that," Fitz said. "But we all can't fit under one cloak,"

"That's right," Linh agreed. "Maybe we should pick  just three of us to go and look,"

"Obviously Sophie and Harry," Dex said. "But who else?"

"Maybe I could go," Fitz said,

"Sorry Fitzy, but I think maybe this time I should go," Keefe said, nudging him.

"Okay....." replied Fitz, looking at Sophie.

"It's settled then!" I said. "Me, Sophie and Keefe will get the Invisibility cloak and the Marauders Map and go get the Map of the Oracle!"

"Okay....." Sophie said. "But what about Draco? What if he shows up?"

"Then I'll just use my awesomeness to get it first!" Keefe said.

"Well then," I said. "It is going to be a very interesting night,"
