Kennilworthy, Aurora, Penelope, Finn, and Derek all appeared in a dark quiet hallway.

"You know which part we're in?" Derek asked.

"I think so, this night made everything seem like a maze." Kennilworthy answered.

Penelope pointed her wand in front of her.

"Lumos." She said as the tip of her wand lit up a small portion.

"One wand only as a light source, we don't want to get caught." Kennilworthy said walking down the hallway.

"Do you know where the chamber is?" Finn asked.

"It's on the second floor, girl's laboratory." Penelope answered.

Finn and Aurora looked at her.

"What? I learned about it in Beauxbatons and auror training." Penelope said looking back at them.

"Which is good because I didn't know where it was." Kennilworthy said turning. "We are on the second floor, near the toilet."

"It's okay to go into the girl's bathroom?" Finn asked nervously as they arrived to the door.

"Everyone is asleep?" Derek looked at Kennilworthy.

"Probably in the Great Hall." Penelope said.

"Could be either, but let's be quick." Kennilworthy said opening the door.

Everyone walked in surrounding the sinks.

"Seems like it's already been opened." Aurora said looking at the chute on the top of the sinks.

"That means we don't need to speak parseltongue." Penelope said trying to keep everyone from panicking. "Which is good because I don't think any of us could speak parseltongue."

"That means he's already down there." Derek said looking at the chute.

"Recently too." Kennilworthy added. "Who wants to go down first?" he asked looking at everyone.

After a few seconds, Derek stepped forward.

"I will, I am the oldest so your lives are worth more." he said climbing up the sinks. "See you all on the other side." he said sliding down the chute.

"I'll go next." Penelope said walking up to the sinks. "Though I'm a former auror, I will still do my duty." she said climbing up the sink. "Also I'm old, you guys are still young." she said sliding down the chute.

"I don't want to be the last one, but I want to make sure no one back outs because we are in 1943, a whole different time period." Kennilworthy said.

"I'll go-"

"I need to speak with you, so I was kind of hoping for Finn to go next." Kennilworthy said looking at Aurora.

"Oh right, yea." Finn said walking towards the sinks, sliding down the chute.

Once he was down, Kennilworthy looked at Aurora.

"I know this may sound weird, but I feel like if anything happens to you, it'll be my fault." Kennilworthy said. "Penny is like a mother to Finn and Derek literally came because he's a retired quidditch player." he said.

"Hey, you got to remember I handled dragons at a young age." Aurora smiled. "But you did save me from execution, so I'll keep an eye on you too." she said walking up to him and kissing his cheek.

Sh climbed up the sinks and slid down the chute.

Kennilworthy stood for a moment, thinking.

After a minute, he climbed up the sinks and slid down the chute.
