Legacy [Being Edited]

Chapter 8, Witching Hours

   
    The two boys stood there looking at Salem, dumbfounded. Neil was so startled that he fell backward tripping on the toilet. His bum hit the ground hard, and he forgot that it was night time and they were supposed to be quiet.

 "Why are you here?!" Neil almost yelled at her.

"SHH!" whispered the other two.

 Salem told them everything that happened from the moment they split up to now. 

"That stupid Spiderous Malfoy! Next time I see him in gonna..."

 "Neil?" Cillian whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Shut up. We already know that Spiderous Malfoy is an ugly slimy little-spoiled git, and there's nothing we can do to him."

"But..." Neil tried to argue.

 "Both of you, shut it! Honestly, can't any boys ever stay on task?!" Salem cried while keeping her voice low.

   They went back into the bathroom to speak about what to do next. Salem was actually smart and locked the door this time. She took out her wand and flicked it, making the old light bulb zoom back into place and turn on, brightly.

 "Hey, you fixed it!" Neil exclaimed.

"Well, of course. I mean, don't you two know the Repario charm?"

Well, yeah, but we can't do it silently," Cillian said.

 "Oh...Well, no matter. Let's decide what to do next," she said.

 "What about?"

"About the book, of course! Didn't you two pay any attention to what I was saying? Only Slytherin's have the tattoo, and so all we have to do is look for people in the house to open the book for us."

  "Like i asked Cillian, WHY   DO    WE   CARE?! It's a bloody book!" Neil asked impatiently.

"First of all, where's your sense of adventure? I would've thought that a Weasley, and Ronald and Hermione Weasley's son, no doubt, would jump at the chance for a thrill. Second, haven't you any idea of what this could mean? This means that Lucious Malfoy could've come inside Hogwarts, one of the securest locations in all of Britain! Plus, he's a Death Eater! He's sentenced to a life in Azkaban! Well, technically Azkaban closed eight years ago, and now he's sentenced to life in Vafika, the new one that opened...but that is beside the point!" She exclaimed, almost not caring about being quiet anymore.

 "But..." Neil tried to come back into the 'argument.'

  "Whatever information is in that book, it could be a clue on how to get him! Think, if three eleven-year-olds help to catch one of the most well-known criminals in all the wizarding world! We wouldn't have to be in school, we'd be famous!"

 "Salem, I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself," Cillian said.  "We couldn't possibly get Malfoy, after all, like you said, he's a Death Eater! We are eleven, and we stand no chance what-so-ever to face off against him."

  "I didn't say we would face him, I said we would help catch him. There's a difference. I know that if we were to battle him, we would all die. But we could have a chance to do some good. Think about all the people that have suffered thanks to Lucius Malfoy. Now think about how we could help put an end to it. I want to be like my uncle, and help shape the future. Come on."

  The boys looked at each other and Neil Sighed. 

"Ugh, alright. I'll help you on this suicide mission."
