One one war ended another began.
The four boys solemnly got a hold of their wands , James with his invisibility cloak. It was time to capture the man and bring him to the headmaster. As they got ready to walk out of the dorm Kingsley made his way inside.
"Where are you guys going?" He asked.
James shrugged nonchalantly. "Setting the Slytherin Dorm on fire. Wanna join?
"Maybe another time." Replied Kingsley.
"Sure Kings." Replied Sirius. "See ya soon."
With that the four of the walked out and rushed down the stairs. Passing a snogging couple in the common room they practically fell out of the Portrait hall. James quickly covered them all in the invisibility cloak and walked to the the courtyard. The sun was setting but the masked man was already there. The edged closer to him.
"On my count...One...Two...Three!"
They took off the cloak and pointed it towards the man.
"Put the wand down." Commanded James.
The man looked towards him and laughed. "Or what you gonna turn my hair pink?"
His voice was low cold and familiar. Though no one was sure where they could place it.
"That's actually not a bad idea." Said Sirius.
"Shut it Sirius!" Hissed James.
The man laughed and headed towards the Willow, the four boys close behind him hexes spilling from their lips. But they had expected this would happen. The four boys soon found themselves in the musty earthen passage beneath the Willow. Remus shot ahead, none of the boys questioned how deftly he moved through the passage while they stumbled and tripped over each other.
He soon found a steep incline and climbed up into shack. The man was trying to pry the door open.
"Damn it!" They heard him curse. "How man more shields has this got!"
"Expelliarmus!" Cried Sirius. The spell missed, shocked the man turned around.
"Well what have we here? Four of Hogwarts greatest Pranksters? You're no match against me."
"Obviously because we are much better." Retorted Remus which sent the other boys giggling.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Said Peter, just as he had practiced and the mask fell off the man's face.
"Professor Woodbead?!" Exclaimed James.
"You're a Death Eater!" Cried Sirius.
"How did you know the term?" The realisation hit the man. "You're Regulus's older brother aren't you. He's a charming little fella. But a coward through and through, can even watch the Cruciatis curse being demonstrated on filthy muggles."
"For the record." Said Sirius coolly. "You can't even stand up to us. My brother has every right to be afraid of the Cruciatus curse." He paused. "He's as much of a Gryffindor as I am."
"Don't make me laugh!" Cried the Professor.
He's a talker. Realised Remus. We have to keep him talking and when he's off guard we can strike.
"What are you trying to achieve anyway?" Asked Remus. "You and your stupid cult?"
"Cult?" Professor Ambrosius Woodbead laughed. "If you knew what were are capable of...Oh but you'll know soon enough..."
"Anaticula!" Cried James. The spell blasted against the Professor but didn't seem to harm him.
The Death Eater laughed and pointed his wand at Sirius.
