The Eight Part Soul

Chaos

The next day turned out to be... normal for now, but soon enough...

As I gave the go to Leo for 'whatever his plan might be', I had to clue in Hazel and Calypso later that night in the RoR after the DA, and of course the reactions were predictable.

Will, Hazel and Calypso all shook their heads while Leo's grin became wider.

"Are our backs really against the wall like that?" Hazel asked, the question more toward, 'Do we have to?'

Unleashing a probable end of the world probably needed second thoughts, but I had them enough.

"Things are getting more and more complicated. If we don't strike anytime soon, more problems will appear and I don't have time to fix so many," I said.

"What problems?" Will asked, and I told them about the Imperiused Toad, even if I told Harry to keep it secret between us. But I only told him that because if he told someone of the wizarding world, it's either lunacy or confrontation which is both unneeded. But telling it to a bunch of demigods who are practically unrelated to the matter itself doesn't matter because unlike the wizards, they will just leave it alone and not mix things up.

"Well then, why don't we just steal the Invisibilty Cloak now?" Will asked.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked. "With the fireworks still loose, and Umbridge now working overtime and prowling around Hogwarts? The last thing we want is for her to catch us in the act right now."

"And it's alright to be caught in the act at broad daylight with everyone awake and aware?" Hazel asked, completely skeptical and I can't blame her.

"Look at it this way..." I said, "Of course, I had the same thought as you, Sis, but the thing was either way we do it now or tomorrow in broad daylight that Toad will definitely spot us and because she is Imperiused, would likely use the chance to take me to Voldemort. The difference with that is tomorrow, not only will we have witnesses to make sure Toad does no such thing, but there are also people along with the catalyst that is Leo will be enough to distract Toad from stopping us."

Calypso shook her head some more, "And that's enough reason to destroy Hogwarts?"

"I'm not going to destroy Hogwarts, I promise," Leo protested.

"Yeah... sure..." Calypso said near dismissively, even ignoring Leo's indignant "Hey!"

But to defend Calypso, every time Leo starts with his inventions and pranks, promises are entirely broken, nothing made sure...

"But just to confirm that Leo is not actually going to destroy Hogwarts, what are you planning?" Hazel asked, but Leo simply put a finger to his lips and grinned back.

"Secret. If this is going to be my last hurrah here, might as well leave with a bang as surprising to you guys as with the rest," Leo said.

We all frowned. That sounds ominous.

"Don't worry," Leo reassured, which did not reassure us at all.

So, now here we are, at the very next day, praying to all our Gods that everything will go smoothly, as we were also getting ready with our plan around Leo's.

I knew that this was plan Z, the last resort of all last resorts, but the more I was here, the more I knew that we had this coming. We have been cornered too far without advancing forward much and we didn't realize it.

Voldemort and his Death Eaters 'know' of us, Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix were suspicious of us, especially Dumbledore after that mention of the Deathly Hallows, and the Ministry in their ignorance are getting sucked up by Voldemort without them realizing it and have planted a mole in Hogwarts. Oh joy.
