Firrelol and Zayn released the hug. They both wouldn't stop smiling. The boys acted as if I wasn't right there watching them.

"So this is Firrelol, Huh?" They both looked right at me.

"Yes, my name is Firrelol," He said, moving toward the small shelf outside of the cellar to grab the bottle of scotch and his glass that he went to get in the first place.

"I am Ethel. Are you the one who we are here to see?" I put my hands into my back pockets and rocked my heels back and forth as the long silence carried on.

"Do you guys want to go somewhere more comfortable?" Firrelol said. He motioned both Zayn and I into another door and the inscription at the top said Vestibulum Firrelol est Mancio.

He lead us into the room and told us to sit down anywhere you like. There were two couches and three chairs. The two couches parallel and the two chairs in the middle of one end and a bide, more distinct chair, on the other side for Firrelol himself.

Zayn and I sat down on the chairs opposite of Firrelol's.

" Well, look like my Little Zayn has grown up. And to be with such a beautiful young lady at this age I barley even had a lady," He laughed by himself on that one, " My question is why you are here?"

" Harry's being a dirtbag again and since Ethel's the Leader his has gone into an eternal bad mood. And we came here because 1; I thought Ethel would enjoy meeting you. And 2; We need your advice."

" Why would you need my advice. Didn't your people ban me from your institution year ago? Isn't that why I am in this underground hiding spot right now? I'm sorry but I don't feel that you really need me at this moment,"

"Firrelol, you know that was all Harry. You were just doing what you need to do to protect us. I understand that you just wanted us to be safe"

Firrelol took a big swig of scotch and looked at me, then Zayn, then me again.

" Well, the fact that you came all the way down here to see me is really great. I'm proud that you took the time to come visit your old man," Firrelol said.

"Old man?" I asked.

"Yeah, Firrelol is the man that came up with this idea of turns into 'humans'. I was the second one to be changed into a convertee. I was changed as a baby. Firrelol basically raised me from that point on. He also invented the coniuratum nummus. The thing that Niall used to get you here."

I heard whispers and footsteps outside of the door. Papers being ruffled and shoes being shuffled.

"Firrelol, what is this place, exactly?

"Caput Plagea. Headquarters." Firrelol said.

"What is the language is spoken here. I definitely know it is not English,"

"Ethel, this is the only Latin speaking civilization left in the entire universe. We are the only people that speak Latin and are fluent as a nation left in the world. Look at the werewolves; Russian. Vampires; Italian. Shapeshifter; Arab. So maybe everything might be in Latin here."

" I never learned Latin," I said.

" Well, best if you learn," Zayn cut in.
