“Maybe a month if we ask Peeves to help,” the poltergeist had already stolen her socks, he was a nasty little thing until Freddy plied him with candies and Weasley Wheezes. The corridors were emptying, classes coming back into session, droll Professor intonations wafting from open doors and windows. “I’ll call you for the next fight, already overheard some fifth years drama and plans for a duel in the Shrieking Shack, might be a fun friend-date for us. We can get score cards.” The Dueling Club was well and fun, but everyone knew the best fights were the unsanctioned ones, plus she always made a killing on the bets.
“C’mon we know much better spells than those boring Unforgivables by now - which reminds me I did sneak a few spells outta my brother’s Auror books.” Micah needed his own apartment if he didn’t want her to snoop.
“Worked at a candy shop, stole some art with Q, broke my Mum’s vase. Got grounded for sneaking out to that Cthulhu show, go grounded again for trying to go to Knockturn Alley. Only went to hospital once!” Freddy reported with a bubbly grin, “How was yours, anything majorly interesting?”
Linden nearly beamed. “Oh, you are wicked, little Freddy. I think that’s a fantastic idea. We can get him to sing that song of yours as well, just to scare them shitless even more,” they said, pressing a hand to Freddy’s arm in excitement at just the idea alone.
“You know I’ll be there, managing the odds. I’ve got bank to make on people thinking the school hotshot will win until they actually have to handle the expectation and buckle under the pressure,” they nodded before raising an eyebrow curiously, “Well... now you have to tell me what you have; can’t have you keeping all those secrets up your sleeve. What if you got roped into a duel as well? That’d be unfair odds.”
“Even if you told your parents you were coming to visit me, would you still get grounded for stepping foot in the alley?” They asked, a pout forming on their face before they sighed and continued, “I was working, so it was boring, boring, boring. But that meant I had plenty of time to myself to... play around. If you catch my drift.”
