Chapter 22 - Planning for Vengence is Everything

" Okay, now that everything's in the clear for now. We should head back to our dorm rooms. " Richard suggests, dragging Louis by the arm to the direction of Hogwarts. " But what about Meister?! " Louis exclaims in desperation as he attempts to escape his cousins grasp " You and I both know he'll live through his injury. Now come on, we're way past curfew at this point, the only ones supposed to be here, is Draco and golden boy passed out like a light over there. "

Louis didn't even have a chance to retaliate when Annie accompanied Rochard in dragging their cousin back to their dorm rooms, leaving Draco once they said their farewells.

It wasnt long after the three Princetons left when Hagrid entered the scene with Fang in tow, how they only just arrived at the scene of the crime was a mystery even to Draco.

Hagrid's eyes swept over the area before they landed on the passed out Harry Potter laid back against a tree, and Draco standing some distance away slightly sweating. " Wha' 'append 'ere? " The half giant exclaims in worry as he rushes over to Harry. Draco brisk walked to where the two were before filling him in in what has happened, mostly.

" We were walking through the forest like you told us too. Then we heard a neighing In the distance. Potter over there decided to come over here to figure out what happened, I followed him because I had no choice. When we arrived, we saw a cloaked figure hunched over the unicorn about to do something horrible. But then Potter put his hand to his scar and screamed in pain and passes out. I, not wanting to die at such a young age, cast a spell and scared the cloaked person away. Why a fully grown person was running away from a eleven-close to twelve years old boy is a mystery to me. Anything other questions? " Draco finished as he took a large breath from his long rant.

Though Hagrid was skeptic at the young Malfoy's answer, he was the only there and awake the whole time the accident occurred so he had to take his word for it. Shaking his head, Hagrid scooped up the passed out boy into his arms and turned to the direction of the school with Fang close behind " Its 'ine 'ye no need 'teh say no 'ore, come on let's 'ead back to 'ogwarts. "

When the three entered Hogwarts once more, after dropping Fang off at Hagrid's hut, Draco went back to the Slytherin dormitory while Hagrid dropped off Harty at madam Pomfrey's for a check up. After being assured that Harry was physically okay, Hageid went back to his hut and went to sleep with a heavy heart. Draco on the other hand, went to sleep with a curious mind due to the day's events and what he did to professor Quirrel in a moment of willpower, or stupidity really, the man was a teacher for Merlins sake, he was incredibly luckily to have come out unscathed after what he did.

With his mind running non-stop like a horse during a race, Draco had to force himself to sleep or he'd have a difficult time staying awake during his lessons tomorrow.

When day light came and Richard started getting ready for the day, he realised someone staring creepily at him from behind. It wasn't like he could ignore the person's gaze on him, considering the fact that it felt like they were planning to see into his soul from how hard they were staring at him, it gave him goosebumps to say the least.

' Where's Louie at a time like this? I really need someone to distract me or him right about now. ' And as he wished, Louie came stumbling into the dorm room all wet. " Richie, I got soaked so I'll be late for breakfast. Don't bother waiting up on me and take Bandit with you please, he gets unnecessarily angry when he has no food. " Fetching himself some dry clothes and a towel to bring with him to the shower, Louis was too occupied to notice the other two roommates in the room he completely forgot about.

Thus, when he turned his full attention back to Richard, it was only then did he take note of the other two boys in the room. " Ah. " Was all he managed to say before blasting out the door and to the shower room.

Many things were going through Richard's mind, all of which are plans of getting his revenge back on Louis who had left him to face the two weirdos in the room. " Do you mind? There's something called privacy you know? " He finally blurts out, unable to stand the two staring into his soul the moment he woke up.

When the Harry and Ron finally left, Richard hastily scooped up Bandit and his books and zoomed straight toward the dining hall.

Deciding it'd be best if he was invisible for the entire day due to how uncomfortable the stares Harry and Ron gave him were, which was why there was a gap in between Neville and Annie. Neville was discussing about his findings with more uses of the herbology plants he became strongly fascinated in with Ricahrd, while Annie just sat at the side lines and watched the two share their views on why it would be useful or harmful to include them in potions.

Harry and Ron were observing the two Princetons while Hermoine was on the verge of slapping the two up their heads for being so rude to stare. It was only when they felt a cold breeze pass them by made them stop in their tracks. " Did you even realise that the two of them were out roommates? " Ron informed Hermoine in disbelief " I didn't even know we had more roommates truth be told. " Harry adds in, a tad bit dumbfounded at the realisation.

" Honestly you two, could you not stick your nose in where it shouldn't be? " It was clear that Hermoine was getting annoyed with them due to what's been happening lately.

" I'm going for classes today. " Louis told the two who had in turn dropped what they were doing doing in surprise. " Are you serious? Are you sick? Did you get possessed or hypnotized without your acknowledgement? " Questions after questions were bombarded by the two cousins based on the fact that their Louis, the one they've known since they were practically in diapers, was going to classes Willingly. Emphasis on willingly. It would be like asking a cat to stop ruining everything they see on sight to put it simply.

" I'm fine okay? I just have a feeling that I should be staying in school today is all. " Nothing was said after that, after all, when Louis had a feeling it was always right.

When classes had ended that day, Louis pated with Annie and Richard and went off to the DADA classroom where the feeling he had was strongest. Turning invisible and entering the room once he made sure the cost was clear, the reason why was simple. Professor Quirrell was out for the moment leaving his office empty and the perfect opportunity to snoop around.

' It appears my feeling was right once again, and who in their right kind keeps an itinerary for their evil schemes? What is this guy? A five year old? ' Thoughts aside, the neatly scheduled schemes were all the evidence Louis needs. Taking out his wand and casting a simple duplication spell, Louis placed everything back to where he found them and left the scene as he arrived.

' All that's left to do now is wait for exams to pass and ' bye bye Lord Volde-no-nose. ' ' Satisfied with his progress, Louis returned to doing his daily routines happily.
