Dan and Phil are back in Hogwarts!

10-Phil

Have you ever had a really bad idea? Like, where you knew it was a bad idea, but you did it anyways? This was one of those ideas.

Telling Noah to step down was a stupid idea. When I told him to fuck off, he rolled his eyes. "Really, Lester? It's like you're asking for trouble. What, are you missing the hospital wing? I can send you back. Or maybe to the place where Arlo went. Who knows?" He crossed his arms. 

"And what would Arlo think about this, Noah? I thought you loved her. You didn't care when she was killed. You didn't even react for Christ's sake!" I shoved him. "You didn't cry! You didn't show one trace of emotion. She was right not to love you! Nobody should love a monster like you!" I was barely aware I was shouting now.

Noah glared at me, before I could stop him, he socked me in the side of my head. Stars exploded through my vision as I crumbled to the ground. "Don't tell me I didn't care, Phil. Don't you dare fucking say I didn't cry. Just because I didn't show it, doesn't mean I didn't do it!" He drew his wand and looked around before pointing it at me. "Stupefy" 

I woke up in one of the places I feared the most. Godrics Hallow. I looked around. I was with my old buddy Mr Statue. He had me in a headlock which was weirdly not that painful. 

Ahead of me was a large cell like thing, inside were dozens of students. "Cohen?" I asked. "Penny? Nancy?" They all stared at me, eyes wide. 

There was a bright flash and the sound of a 'pop!' I frowned, struggling to see who it was. To my shock, it was Dan and Domino. Domino had a smirk on her lips and Dan looked ready to kill someone. "Dan!" I called, struggling. "Help!" He ran over and pulled out his wand. Domino walked over like she had all the time in the world. "Domi!" I looked to her. "Go find a way to get everyone out of the cell!"

"Phil," Dan spoke. "That isn't Domino" He pointed his wand at me. "Aholomora!" The statue let go of me, making me stumble forward. Dan steadied me. 

"What? Of course that's Domi-" I looked behind me where Dan was looking to. Domino was in the same headlock I had been with a different statue. She looked so sick, almost dead. I ran to the statue, looking around. "What the hell is going on?" I demanded as I searched for a pulse on Domino. Her face was as pale as the melting snow on the ground. She was bleeding from various spots across her body. She looked so frail, as if if I touched her, she'd turn to dust. 

"Good to see Dan figured it out. It's only taken you four months" Said a voice behind me. I turned to see Noah, smirking his evil smirk. "Go ahead, Howell, explain what's going on" He gestured to Dan. 

"I...the Domino we've had isn't Domino. It's...it's Diabolus" He said the last part quietly. I slowly blinked and turned to the Domino impostor. She er...he was gone. 

"Wait, Domino's been here the whole y- WAIT! I kissed her! What the hell? I kissed a old guy?!"

"No," Noah looked over at me. "It's only been since December. And don't worry, I've kept the real Domino totally tortured, just so she didn't feel left out from the rest of the prisoners." I glared daggers at him as I continued looking for a pulse. "Good luck with that" Noah called.

"Shut up!" I screamed, pulling out my wand and pointing it at the statue, using the same spell Dan used. Domino's frail figure crumbled away from the statue. I quickly caught her. Dan ran over and helped me look at all her wounds. It appeared that she had received a few hits from the Cruciatus curse. "We have to get out of here...." I muttered to Dan. 

"Yeah, but how?" Dan asks. "Noah's not just gonna let us apparate out of here with all his prisoners." 

"He's right," called Noah. 

Domino shifted in my arms with a wince. I looked down and stroked her cheek, thinking. "I'll work on getting the students out of the cell. You fight Noah and I'll help you when I can" I said quietly.

Dan nodded. "Good idea. And Phil?" 

"Yeah?"

"If we get killed, I'll kill you a second time" 

As I worked on trying to unlock the cell a thought occurred to me. Would Domino remember us dating? Or would I really have to start all over? 

"Hurry, Phil!" Penny whispered. Her and Nancy had gathered over next to the bars of the cell. I didn't see Cohen in there. That scared me. I walked to the side of the cell and pointed my wand at it, shaking slightly. I quickly said a spell that melted the iron of the cell. The wall melted, revealing my fellow students, staring at me wide eyed. 

"Sixth and Seventh years, grab the younger students and apparate out of here. Penny, stay with me. Nancy, you too" I said quietly, stepping out of the way. Penny and Nancy walked over to me. Well, more like stumbled. The two looked horrible. They were pale and shaking. Penny had a deep gash on her neck. Nancy was limping. I turned to where Dan and Noah were fighting, wand against wand. "Penny, go help Dan. Nancy, stay here and make sure everyone gets out safely." 

"Wait, what are you doing?" Nancy asks. 

"I need to go find help. Be careful. Jones and King are around here somewhere." 

Penny looked at me, her eyes filled with tears. She hugged me. "Thank you, Phil. You may not be in Gryffindor but tonight, you proved yourself a hero"
