AN: Hi. So now would you like to read? Coolio.

CHAPTER 19

"What?! Who?" Rose exclaimed in frustration.

Why do I get the feeling Albus and Felix planned this James Bond style...?

"Who's James Bond..?" Rose turned to ask me.

Oh wow I said that at loud?

"Yeah...you did..." Lena muttered smiling slightly.

Wow...

I shook my head quickly to stop saying stuff in my head...or apparently out loud...

"Erm...sorry...Bond is just a- Muggle...thing...don't worry..." I gave up at the confused faces of Rose, Albus and Felix.

"It's fine." Albus cut in, preventing me from embarrassing myself further. I smiled gratefully at him, suddenly remembering earlier when I stepped in on his embarrassment before History of Magic.

So is that how things work in the magical world...

Man, I wish they had had that rule at my old school...then maybe I would've kept my friends...

"But anyways.." Albus continued...

"... it's anyway Albus. Not anyways." Lena corrected haughtily.

"Shut up Lena!" Felix cut in, sending her glare before gesturing for Albus to continue.

Lena huffed dramatically, probably annoyed at being interrupted.

"So...as we were saying...we know someone who can answer your-our question."

Albus paused to look at us.

"But what's the but? There's always a but with you two..."

Lena stared dead straight at them, as though trying to frighten the truth out of them.

"Ah well...it's not so much a but, more a simple favour that we wish you complete before we lead you to those with the answers you so desperately need..." Felix smirked at Rose for the last part, probably remembering her scene with Dominique.

Rose reddened but held her glare.

"So what is this...favour,..cause you better hurry up...we have to eat dinner and then go down for Astronomy..."

Felix suddenly smirked at Albus who suddenly also had a mischievous glint in his eye, which looked slightly foreign on his pale face.

"Well...If all goes to plan...we won't be having Astronomy today..."

"What do you mean?" Lena questioned. "It's our first Astronomy lessons, Professor Scroggins isn't going to ditch!"

"Well... dear Lena... he won't ditch... more like he'll..." Felix deliberated, as though he were debating whether or not to release exciting information. He huffed, as no one responded to him with a "oh do tell us!" like he seemed to have hoped, and promptly continued.

"...you know how we came in late for Herbology..." We nodded, "...well we didn't actually get lost...we were actually fixing a-"

"Wait!" Rose interrupted. I could see Lena glaring at her for interrupting right at the climax.

"Why are you telling us this? Don't you think -" she gestured to us, "- we'll tell on you?"

"Speak for yourself." Lena muttered, but was ignored.

Felix smiled, as though he'd already thought about this anyway and had the perfect answer.

"Ah yes...but you won't...well...not if you want to know about Bebe Weasley anyway..." Smirking victoriously at our defeated faces.
