Nigel and I headed out right after dinner, but instead of outside the castle, he led me to our Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. He stood in front of that weird one eyed witch statue and looked around.

"What're you doing?" I asked.

"You'll see." He whispered and pulled his wand out, "Dissendium." He called and the hump on the witch started lifting following along was the movement of my jaw dropping, "Get in."

"What?"

"Get in. Now. Go. Go."

"Okay. Alright." I muttered and fixed my jumper before climbing up and then crawling into the hole. Soon it closed behind and it was dark in the tunnel ahead.

"Lumos." I whispered and the small crawl space led ahead and into a wider tunnel. I crawled ahead and paused at the small ladder that led down. Holding my wand in my mouth, I climbed down and now I could stand in it. Soon, the door opened again and after a bit, a grunting Nigel crawled down to me.

"Where are we?"

"Tunnel under Hogwarts. Leads straight to Honeydukes in Hogsmeade."

"Wicked."

We walked for a while till we reached an end and saw a ladder going up to what seemed to be a wooden trap door in the middle of a vaguely parted wood floor. I went up first and very slowly lifted the door. I looked around for any sound or anyone and when got the all clear, I slid out and Nigel then followed.

"Thats up to the store?" I pointed to the dirty wooden stairs beside us in the stock up basement.

"Yeah." Nigel picked up a red Lolipop.

"Drop it. Lets go." I ordered and he sighed before we headed for the stairs quietly. We now stood in what seemed to be a broomstick cupboard. We just were about to open the door to the shop when it started opening inside and I pushed Nigel to the side as it swung open towards us. A grumbling man went downstairs. When he sounded far enough, Nigel pressed a finger on the door and pushed at it. He dropped his head out and marked the all clear before heading out. I followed. The shop was quiet. It was closed.

The candy was all set up still but Nigel didn't touch any. That meant it was rigged when touched so he didnt do so. As we stood in front of the glass doors, he inhaled a deep breath.

"What is it?" I asked, staring at the wet weather outside. The muddy path of the street.

"Hermione Granger said that the shield was removed from the door so it won't be a problem getting through."

"So?"

"Im worried if... well..."

"Nigel. Nigel! He's coming back."

Nigel quickly pushed it open and ran out. I held back my laugh and jogged away as well. I lied but it worked like a charm.

"Oh, piss off!" Nigel pushed me away as I cackled along with him, mocking his fear that was to the point that he was pale in the face.

Soon, we made it in and when we walked into the pub, it was rather empty and our crowd mostly took up the attention. We walked to thatlarge corner, away from prying eyes and sat on a table pulled up in a corner. Harry, Ron and Hermione were already sitting there but Ginny wasn't there yet.

"Erm..." She stood, looking around. Harry wasn't exactly excited to be there, atleast he didnt seem so, "Hi." Hermione spoke nervously. Clearing her throat she started again, "So you all know why we're here. We need a teacher. A proper... teacher."
