The mystery fiend roamed silently about the halls of Hogwarts, on a mission from which no-one could distract him, not even Peeves as he threw random objects towards his head.
"Stop that now, Peeves, or the wrong side will be winning this war" the figure whispered, a heavy spell cast upon himself to further disguise his identity.
"Ooh, someone's in a bit of a mood! You-Know-Who got your humour?"
"The Dark Lord knows not of my mission just yet, and I intend to keep it that way for as long as possible. He knows only of what I've shown him I know about what I seek, and yet I know far more than what I've let on. Years of spying have their purpose, after all".
"Well, what are you looking for?"
"A place. Now go, before I have to obliviate you".
With a loud sigh, Peeves floated away, off to wreck havoc in another part of the castle.
Training his mind to his purpose, the figure turned the corner and, with a breath of anticipation, entered the room of requirement, leaving moments later with Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem stashed beneath their deep red glittery cloak.
