Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 22nd, 1992, 8:20 PMWhile the professors were investigating the wards, and Erik and Joan were snuggling, the fifteen minutes slowly passed.With a final kiss behind Joan's ear, Erik lets go of the hug, and gives the woman a moment to recover.Seeing that Joan recovered, Erik calls for the three Masters' attention."Okay! Time is up!"The three professors seem to be called back to earth with the call, and reluctantly went back to where the couple were. Erik noticed their faces, just chuckled a little and said."Don't worry. I will give you guys another opportunity to study the room with more time available… So, tell me what you discovered."The professors' mood took a turn for the better with the hope of another chance to visit the room. And Professor Babbling was the first to talk."It is all so amazing, the way that the wards seem to work, forming a net, reinforcing each other is incredible. No wonder Hogwarts is considere
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 22nd, 1992, 8:46 PMThe population of the Great Hall were eating desserts and talking between them when Erik and his group entered the Great Hall.They walk between the tables, and stop by the head of Ravenclaw table where Susan , Susan and Leona were seated."Welcome back~"Susan welcomes them, eating a spoon of strawberry ice cream after."We are back."Erik answers her. Joan goes back to where she was seated before, taking off her gauntlets and serving a portion of vanilla milk pudding and chocolate ice cream. Professor Flitwick nods at Erik and goes to the staff table with the other two professors. Susan then continues."Good job with the wards. People here could feel them going up. It generated a louder talk at the tables, but soon as I addressed it, things went back to normal."Erik nods at that."Good. But we will have to involve the law enforcement… We got some pretty nasty answers from the wards. Here, let me sha
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 22nd, 1992, 9:04 PM"Let's start with why I am here. Today, at approximately 1:30 PM, I received the summons from the castle. The summons is an action initiated by a council of trusted individuals when they see that something within the castle needs immediate action and the current Headmaster and/or Board of Governors are not doing their jobs well enough."Erik is looking at the students, observing their reactions."The main reason for my summons this time was the attacks that occurred on All Hallows Eve, and yesterday. What many of you don't know is that the Headmaster decided not to start an official investigation on the attacks knowing that this is not the first time that they occur in recent history."Some students had wide eyes at that. Erik soon continued."Knowing of his decision, the council decided that it was not a good idea to play with the students' lives, so they summoned my wife and me to solve the problem. I
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 22nd, 1992, 9:31 PMWhen Professors McGonagall and Sprout and their entourage entered the Great Hall, they noticed the heavy atmosphere. The group stood at the entrance of the Great Hall. Erik, having noticed them the moment they entered the castle through the floo, decided that it was a good opportunity to dissipate the heavy atmosphere."Ah, it seems that the good Aurors are here. Welcome to Hogwarts! Let me just finish here and I will be with you in a moment."He said loudly to the group standing by the doors. That had the expected result. The heavy atmosphere slowly dissipated as students were turning their head to look at the newly arrived group. Erik then continued addressing the students and staff."Now, the questions will have to end here today. And since the Great Hall is not ideal for you all to rest after such a delicious feast, I believe that changes are necessary. Please, everyone stand up and go stand by the w
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 22nd, 1992, 10:14 PM*sigh*Director Amelia Bones was starting to have a headache. Just thinking about the repercussions that this man being found alive will create was making her head hurt. But she had a job to do, and if half of what Croaker had told her about this Lord Ravenclaw was true, then the British Wizard Community was about to be taken off their feet."Robards, search him. Moody, keep an eye on him."Auror Moody casts another stunner on the already stunned Peter Petigrew. The other Aurors just looked at him with blank faces."Constant Vigilance! He could have been playing possum."Said Auror Moody, keeping his wand pointed to the stunned Peter. Auror Robards then got down on one knee by Pedigrew's side and started to search his robes. He quickly started pulling some items from Pedigrew' robes, putting them by his side on the floor."Clear, Director Bones. Found a piece of rope, a potion that appears to have 'gone
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 22nd, 1992, 10:30 PM"Wizards really have some very strange ways of transportation."Leona's comment got a chuckle from Erik and a small giggle from Susan and Joan.The wizard in the room looked at Leona like she had grown a second head. She just shrugged."The fireplace is closed again."Erik said after closing the floo connection."Erik, dear, that black mark in the rat's arm, It was a slave brand, wasn't it?"Susan randomly asks Erik. He nods, confirming her thoughts."Yes, it was. At least appeared to be one. But it was different from a normal one. It appeared to have been done using corrupted magic as a source.""What do you mean by slave mark?"Director Bones directly asked. Any additional information that she could get on the thing was good information in her books."Some antique and old magical civilizations had the custom of using slaves. To identify who belonged to whom, each master branded his slaves with his own
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 22nd, 1992, 11:05 PMErik shakes his head with a smile while he enters Ravenclaw's Common Room. The group quickly follows him in. The room is comfortably decorated with furniture of blue and bronze colors. At least comfortable for a library setup. Round desks for group studies are everywhere, with some sofas and a lot of armchairs in circular configurations. The main aspect of the Common Room could be pointed to the house's Common Library. The walls of Ravenclaw's Common Room were embedded with 2 meters bookshelves."This room brings back memories.."Susan says ith a small smile on her face. Erik nods at that."Indeed… I remember the verbal lash that your mother gave us when she found us making out in one of the armchairs late at night during our final year."Erik says with a grin-like smile. Joan and Leona snicker at the comment. Susan looked a little ashamed, taking her to give Erik a playful slap on the arm, and making h
Hogwarts Castle, Somewhere in the Scottish HighlandsNovember 22nd, 1992, 11:52 PMAs Erik and his entourage exit Slytheryn's Common Room, they walk through the castle's dungeons making their way back to the Great Lounge. The walk was a silent one as the Professors, Aurors and Unspeakables were within their minds thinking about what happened today and their discoveries. In less than three minutes they were back to Great Staircase and were entering the Great Lounge. In it they saw that most of the students were playing games or having conversations between them. Some of the young ones were claimed by the comfort that the beanbags offered and were now in a world of dreams."If you will please follow me to where the staff is. I will address the students and free them back to their dormitories. Then we will question the staff about Riddle."Erik said to the group, and walked through the student to the elevated platform. Waiting for all of them to approach the staff place, Erik kneeled on
