Chapter Seven: What Can Go Wrong?

It was 7:00 PM. The first year Blaise had recruited looked nervous. Ginny eyed her carefully.

"Are you sure she's willing to make the Unbreakable Vow?" Blaise nodded. "Very well. Arms out!"  
Blaise linked arms with the girl as Ginny drew her wand. "Do you, Blaise Zabini, put your confidence in Prudence Arnold?"  
"I do."
"Do you, Prudence Arnold, swear not to tell another soul about the events that will happen tonight and any concussions of tonight?" Prudence took deep breath and squeaked a little 'I do'.

  As the stream of light settled, Ginny said darkly, "It is done..." Prudence asked quietly, "What now?"   "Come on, everybody." Ginny led the way to the wall on the ground floor and blindfolded everyone except Luna.

She tapped her wand quietly thrice and said "fifth floor". The door way opened and Ginny ushered everyone inside. Luna helped buckle everyone in and soon they were at the 5th floor. Only once the wall was closed Ginny took off the blindfolds. When they reached the 7th floor, Prudence tripped over and banged into Blaise. They heard a noise from above and Ginny shushed them all. When they were nearly at the top, Prudence tripped once more and nearly fell down the stairs, only to get caught by Blaise, via one of her pigtails.   They were at the landing. It was 7:30 by now. "Prudence, I want you to wander around until you come across an adult leaning on the wall, take her away from there, saying you're lost and want help to get back to your dorm. Whatever the costs, keep her away from that wall, as we'll be there. Got it?" Ginny growled. Prudence nodded and scampered off.  

"Everyone got their wands?" Everyone nodded.  "Harry, did you bring your Invisibility Cloak?" Harry nodded.

"Good. I want you to find where ever the Aurors are staying and see if you can retrieve Hermione and Draco's wands. Then eavesdrop and find out anything useful. Go." she ordered.

Harry disappeared. "You two are going to be with me. We're going to break those wards."
They found the door and immediately started breaking the wards.

Harry had found where the Aurors were staying.
He slipped in and listened to the conversation but they were discussing trivial things. He began to creep round, looking for the wands when...   "AAARRGGGHHH" he tripped and the cloak fell off. Clara looked up in suprise. "Petrificus Totalus!" So that was Harry caught. "Merlin, I've trapped THE Harry Potter!" She released him. "May I ask what I have done to get graced with your prescence?" Harry considered. He decided to be blunt.  

"Hermione's missing. I couldn't give a damn about Ferret but Hermione's like my sister and I can't lose her. I know many people think she's the girl who has to fulfill the prophecy and that's a reason why someone might have abducted her to spend 'quality time' with Ferret. I saw you guys today and I found out you were staying up here."   "Can I ask another question?" Harry nodded tiredly. "How did you break the bonding spell?"   "We don't know actually. I have a theory that, beacuse I proposed to Gin again during the ice breaker thing, it allows us to go further, so as to let you prepare on the wedding day. Y'know that thing about it being bad luck?" He lifted up his wrist. It still had a shimmery gold line. "See? Still bonded."  
"Well, Harry... I'm going to take you back to your room now... I'm just going to bind myself to you until we get to your portrait, okay?" Harry nodded numbly. He realized it was pointless to argue.  

Harry down, Prudence, Ginny, Luna and Blaise to go

Just as they reached the top of the stairs, Rowle came around the corner with Prudence.
"Ah, Clara, would a mind taking this one down to her dormitory too? I'm going to fetch Tom for his shift."  

"Oh, it's no problem. Come..." offered Clara.
"Prudence" squeaked Prudence.

"What were you doing wandering about near curfew anyway, eh? Never mind, you'll soon be safe in your common room." Clara cast the same binding spell on Prudence. 5 minutes later, Harry was safely in his dorm (and very frustrated) and he said goodbye to Clara. "If you hear of Hermione or Ferret, please tell me. I'll get sick with worry!" Clara promised and Harry managed to slip a bit of parchment into Prudence's hand with a message saying not to worry and to meet them in Harry and Ginny's rooms tomorrow at 4:30. Prudence nodded as she was lead off and Harry wondered how the others were doing.

Prudence and Harry down,  Ginny, Luna, and Blaise to go    Ginny was becoming, more and more agitated as the wards simply repaired themselves. Then, they heard voices.

"Ah, Clara, would you mind taking this one down to her dormitory too? I'm going to fetch Tom for his shift." "Oh, it's no problem. Come..." offered Clara."Prudence" squeaked Prudence. "What were you doing wandering..." the voices drifted off as they descended the stairs. "They must have got Harry!" Ginny said quietly. "We'd better leave soon. That Lawson guy will be on duty next and we can't have another Prudence."

They tried again for 5 minutes before they heard footsteps. Ginny shot Disillusionment Charms at them and pulled them out the way as Tom nearly walked into them. "Im... Im... Imperio!" Ginny muttered. She felt awful using an Unforgivable but she felt she had no choice. "Remove the wards to this room!" she ordered. Tom began but as before, the wards simply returned.

"Obliviate!" Tom's memory of being Imperiused vanished and the trio slipped silently down the stairs when "Oof!" It was Clara, returning. She shot Illusionment charms everywhere until all three were revealed. "Jeepers, how many are there of you?" she asked surprised.

"Don't tell me you're all here for the same reason as Harry?" Her eyes caught Ginny's ring finger. "You're... Harry's fiancée!" Ginny felt confused. How did Clara know that?

"I'll let you off this time but next time, it's Professor McGonagall," Clara warned. "She's just down the corridor, y'know. So scoot!" They didn't need another warning.  

Prudence, Harry, Ginny, Luna, Blaise down, no one to go.
